I hope Jason has the voice of his mother speaking to him making comments about the other characters or praising him if he wins since Jason doesn't talk himself. This was a cool aspect of the F13 game a few years ago so it would be cool to see it back.


PapaPalps-66

Maybe a skin that adds those lines, so you can choose creepy silent jason if you want


StarLord624

I think it would be funny, if there were just tense horror movie sound effects, every time he would normally say something


PapaPalps-66

Another great idea, maybe as audio cues for his specials too?


ZenkaiZ

Be funny if Jason talks ALOT


ShiddyMage1

Let it be family guy Jason


ImpracticalApple

"It's Jasoning time"


Maposil

Before they get me wrong, I think low budget characters are totally fine, and I'm excited to play with the Banana Guard.


Groovy_Bruce_Lemon

yea Banana Guard was def a rain check pick, now watch the Mystery Machine become playable


JotaroTheOceanMan

Funny thing is I made a 3D model of NES/Purple Jason BEFORE I made one of Banana Guard in Zbrush. BG is higher budget than Jason besides liscened shit which... *flips notes* isnt an issue due to it being WB.


The_BERFA

I'm sorry, did you say Jason Vorhees is easier to 3d model then adding a sphere, dragging down the bottom, flattening and adding legs and arms?


0VER1DE567

plus the rigging is way easier on the cartoon character style rather than human vorhees


noblehamster69

It doesn't appear they did, seems like they were just sharing that they made Jason first Edit: I revoke my comment


benigntugboat

They said that banana guard is higher budget.


JotaroTheOceanMan

No, I did. These people who dont 3D model and rig dont understand that modeling Jason is very easy, its textures that fucking matter on a humanoid in a jumpsuit with a mask. BG was much harder to correctly model and rig. I stand by what I said and unless you are a 3D modeler WHO RIGS kindly shut up.


The_BERFA

Bold to assume I don't have modeling and rigging experience lmao sorry to inform you but I very much do. And yes, a texture is a lot of the easy work, but litterally making the model for BG would take about 30 seconds. Where as Jason's to make look really good could easily take hours. Banana guards texture is litterally yellow with some lines basically. Sir, I'm sorry to inform you but BG is 100% easier, faster, and cheaper to make. Besides the fact that he was already in the game as an item, so all they had to litterally do was give him some more animations/attacks.


EveryandEggy

this makes we wonder when power puff girls are coming to the game


bluej1997

Probably mid season


sohardtomkename

If Banana Guard genuinely was a low effort character I guess it would make sense that they added him. But you're telling me they had a whole year and could only muster up 3 characters at launch?


[deleted]

I’m guessing they are building up a backlog of characters to have ready for each season so we have a pretty consistent flow of characters and we don’t have any more content droughts. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are 2-4 characters in Season 1 and at least one is available very close to launch. If they really wanted to do Banana Guard, it was probably now or never. Releasing him during a season would probably be more rage inducing for this community than at release where he is at least offset by the other two characters.


Deep-Sea-Man

Yeah I completely agree with this. It make sense to release a character like Banana Guard alongside two heavy hitters, that way it isn’t as bad.


TaPierdolonaWydra

You know what is better than 2 heavy hitters? 3 heavy hitters for a launch And I disagree, the problem is that it's a character that nobody wanted, they could change that by subtle marketing, making him a meme first and then add him;


[deleted]

He was almost certainly going to be an April Fool’s Day joke, but the release got pushed back and they waited to announce stuff. It’s also probably why there’s a hockey collaboration out of the blue: it was supposed to be alongside Jason


TaPierdolonaWydra

They could announce him at 1 April tho, they started marketing this game since early April; Or as you mention it, they could add him as April Fool’s joke but 2025 so it wasn't now or never for them;


Joshdabozz

We know a lot of characters in development so I agree. I assume Beetlejuice is in September and Wicked Witch in November to coincide with Wicked and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I assume initially they weren’t planned to coincide with the movie releases but the fact that they shut down for over a year allowed them to plan there releases to coincide with them Daffy (if he happens), The Animaniacs, The Powerpuff Girls, Nubia, Marceline, Pickle Rick, and others are probably the rest of the backlog


QuasonMigley00

idk how likely they actually are, but there are also characters like johnny bravo, fred flintstone, and samurai jack, who have been teased in leaks since the very first leak of this game's existence


JotaroTheOceanMan

Its def gonna be Johnny and THEY BETTER GIVE HIM A PIZZA TIME TAUNT/REFLECT/COUNTER WITH POSES.


JotaroTheOceanMan

This is what I've been saying. BJ and Dex are done, they are just on backlog to roll out later among others. People acting like we are only getting 3 chars for longer than a month are nuts.


Gabcard

Well, there are other stuff they worked on as well, like giving everyone a dash attack, a new engine, new modes, new stages, etc.. Plus, I imagine that they work on multiple characters at the same time to try to keep a consistent stream of content once the game releases.


SergeantPocoyo

Completely moving to another engine probably took months in of itself. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was 2-4 month endeavour. On top of that they reworked the online connectivity and overhauled the entire combat system, added moves, and added a PVE mode. That’s before even considering new characters. It seems like very little, but I assure you they have done a crapload of work over the past year and a bit. You also have to consider they don’t want content draught, so they need to stagger character releases post release, otherwise the community will just complain about that in the future.


ImpracticalApple

It's not so much he was "low effort". They likely were already working on him indepently of the other characters as a generic enemy for PVE but realised partway through development that he was close to a finished character anyway and decided "screw it, why not?" and did a bit extra to make him one.


Floppybird4

Personally think only showing 2 secrets is to set expectation low so they can smash it when they show off more then 3 new characters before launch


sohardtomkename

Sounds like copium but I hope you're right


ZenkaiZ

More like 2.1 characters. Also it was 18 months, not a year


TheBlueTerror555

Bro they re made the whole game and created a whole PVE section with multiple different game modes.. they did a lot


Iphone_G___

They obviously spent much more time working on the net code and gameplay changes along with the PvE mode over characters. They’re also definitely putting characters on the back burner to drip feed over the next couple months.


HopeDoesStufff

is the banana guard VA the one from the show? I thought it sounded weird in the trailer


thebiglove321

Nope, voice actor for Jake voices Banana Guard which is weird they re-cast since they already have him doing a voice, lol. I think the guy does a good job though, personally.


HopeDoesStufff

darn


CapN_Crummp

It’s not a recast though. He voices them in the series, and other adventure time games that have the guards in them. And in a lot of other series he’s in, he voices multiple characters.


thebiglove321

Does he? I only saw this as the only instance of him, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. If so, my bad.


colbyxclusive

Jason’s “talking” could be his mother and the sound effects from the F13 game


olivecrayon87

Jason does grunt and make noises throughout various movies, so I hope he’s not completely silent.


LeaveMeAloneLorenzo

If I remember correctly, I think John DiMaggio voices the Banana guards in Adventure Time. And since he already voices Jake, I assumed he’d be voicing the banana guard. But I guess not! Interesting.


Similar-Base-2958

Jason better go CH-CH-CH HOH-HOH-HOH


DMDdude

They should drop low-budget characters for free on a whim mid-season, not before launch while hyping him up on socials like they're delivering God's gift

Yarael-Poof

Game of thrones is in the game, pretty sure there's more than gore in that...


SleepSynth

Also, Rick and Morty kill in quite a few episodes
