Taz, the Tasmanian Devil, is pretty high on early Multiversus tier lists.<\/a> Taz is also the source of much community frustration, dislike, hate, and, dare I say it, straight-up salt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have no dog in this fight, but suffice to say that y’all are real mad about Taz. Perhaps too mad about character balance in a just-released fighting game.<\/p>\n

The problem stems from a certain perception: Low-skill players can easily crush others at the same level by using Taz’s side-B Spin attack. Just spam the one move to win, say the furious, which I guess makes some sense. Cartoon Taz is particularly known for just the one thing, right? True or not, the broad community is real mad about it and will just not stop posting.<\/p>\n

To be clear, I am not overstating the community fury over the character. Threads abound across social media, like one titled “If you play Taz you’re a trash tier player” on the Steam forums<\/a>. I casually found<\/a> several<\/a> dozen<\/a> memes<\/a> and<\/a> threads<\/a> about<\/a> Taz<\/a> being<\/a> overpowered<\/a> on<\/a> Reddit<\/a> alone.<\/a> There are also a lot of posts from people complaining<\/a> about the complaining, naturally.<\/p>\n

Taz is a very very skillful character to use & very fun to play against. @Tony_Huynh @multiversus #multiversus #Taz Tornado needs a fix asap. pic.twitter.com\/jg5noac9U1July 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n
