“Sunny Days, Sweepin’ the Clouds Away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get? How to get to Sesame Street”
Sesame Street
Series Theme: Theme of Sesame Street
Alt Theme: Doo Wop Hop(a capella)
30%: Ah, Sesame Street. One of the most iconcily popular preschool shows that has been running since the 60’s, the series follows different human characters and a group of memorable puppets who teaches each other & the audience lessons in life plus they typically count the letters & numbers in different segments(including in song) while also making different segments for some of the puppets that still atleast teaches kids about a lesson but also bring in some funny stuff(assuming what Ernie & Burt does)
In terms of connections, Warner Brothers has made some stuff for Sesame Street & The Muppets a long time ago in the 1970s & 80s, in 2010 they acquired the rights to distribute dvds and video games for series. Then later for HBO max they added the entire series onto the streaming service aswell as made some spin-offs such as The Not-So-Late Show with Elmo for the service and Sesame Street: Mecha Builders for Cartoonito.
So, most of these do seem applicable especially with the video game rights too, however what might keep the series’ characters from joining the world of multiverse is their reputation. Sesame Street is mostly aim for little kids and is well known for being an education show, while the idea of an education series being used in a fighting game is easily workable putting them in a fighting game were they get beaten up would probably be harmful towards the brand of the series and the sesame street workshop would likely not want to let their characters join the battle of superheroes, toons, and characters from violent medias such as Arya Stark(which mostly points to them as an example).
There’s also the fact that WBD’s CEO made HBO Max remove all the old episodes of the show and canceling Elmo’s talk show spin-off
But other than that who’s to say the series would get in without a fighter? There’s the chance we might get a stage where we see the sesame street characters in the background instead of in the battlefield, there’s even profile icons & character select backgrounds too, and a remix from the show to accompany the stage. I also can’t forget voice announcers too, Grover, The Count, Elmo, Ernie & Burt, and even Oscar would all work for announcers in the game with the count having a lot of potential for some chatty dialogue.

“Two, Two Knockout, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah”
So Overall, Sesame Street does have a chance since warner brothers does hold distribution rights plus it’s legacy and while it’s likely the characters might not be allowed there’s still other ways they can put the show into the game.
50%: I remember watching Sesame Street back when i was very little, it was one of the shows i was exposed to when it came to education. I remember what the voices for the numbers sound like from the count segments, i remember elmo’s world & the ending songs, dorthy the goldfish, and mr. noodle, i also used to like ernie & enjoyed having to take a bath mostly from him(i believe), and despite being a grown man who likes non educational fun or serious action with some story i do like The “C is for Cookie” Song
I also remember seeing the show’s characters in parodies such as Family Guy, MAD, Black Dynamite, Robot Chicken(With a terrible Cookie Monster one), aswell as experience the spanish version as a kid which featured a different version of Big Bird named “Abelardo”
Despite understanding the better options for the show to be represented in Multiversus, i do like the idea of seeing a character get in as a fighter
I think Oscar the Grouch would be a good representative since he does look more like someone who attack someone if they try to come near him, but with a moveset based on his character what him coming from a preschool show, i can see him throwing trash, hurting opponents by closing his trashcan, shooting the word “Scram!”, and maybe swinging his trashcan around which might not even represent him well
There’s also Elmo, since he’s one of the main faces of the series, but there’s also Cookie Monster who i imagine would have cookies in his attacks.
Grover would be another workable opponent due to taking more punishment in the show(mostly getting injured) and the idea of him being Super Grover is a good context way for him to be represented as.
I also see Kermit the Frog working to due to having more time out in the action & having meme referencing material, unfortunately he was only a guess on the show and not one of the recurring characters & disney owns him too, which stinks given that he had history on sesame street and yet that was during his moody times.

Spy Vs Spy
Series Theme: Spy Vs. Spy Theme
50%: Spy Vs. Spy is a series from The MAD Magazines that focuses on two pointy bird like spies who go out of their way to kill each other in pretty funny ways leaving the winner to laugh for their victory.
The spies are among one of the most popular characters from MAD, appearing in both animated shows from FOX & Cartoon Network, had a slew of video games, appeared in commercials for Mountain Dew, a comic strip spin-off, and plenty of parody appearances such as Family Guy & Robot Chicken.
They are also having an upcoming movie that was originally going to be made by Ron Howard but was picked up by Rawson Marshall Thurber this year.
As said on here, the one question lingering for mad’s chances is whether or not WB will utilize anything from the series of magazines in multiversus..
70%: I remember watching MAD when it was on Cartoon Network and loved the Spy Vs. Spy segments, it was pretty entertaining watching the spies try to outwit & take out each other, i was mostly rooting for the white one in every segment.
I usually don’t see them in a fighting game scenario since i mostly don’t recognize them as fighters but now i’m seeing the idea of them working as a fighter, one would have to be a alternate to the other.
