Just Finished Watching the Matrix Trilogy...
PFG absolutely NAILED Agent Smith. I had never seen the Matrix before playing MultiVersus (I know, I was uncultured swine lol.) I had been planning to watch at least the first movie for the past few years and decided to finally sit down and experience it for the first time before MultiVersus' relaunch. And my gosh, what an experience it was. I only watched the first movie, then this past week I rewatched it and saw Reloaded and Revolutions for the first time. As cool as some of the scenes from the sequels were, I am SO thankful that PFG designed Smith's moveset based on the first movie. While they might have been able to come up with a couple cool moves based on his ability to copy himself, I love that they went all in on his Gun-Fu style fighting as opposed to his abilities/fighting style in the sequels. I really hope that if they ever get around to adding more Matrix reps (I really hope we get Neo, Trinity, AND Morpheus, I think they all are unique enough and deserving of a spot on the roster) that they are based on their '99 designs.
Also, when it was first revealed that Smith was going to be the first Matrix rep as opposed to Neo or Trinity, I was very disappointed. But after seeing the movies, they made the best decision possible. Hugo Weaving gave us one of the most legendary villains I have ever witnessed. Everything about Smith is perfection. The sequels definitely had their issues, but everything related to Smith was just peak. I truly appreciate how well PFG captured his essence, and the voice actor they hired did a really good job imitating Weaving. The only thing I would have changed is if they could have gotten Weaving to voice Smith himself, but all things considered they did a phenomenal job.
TLDR: MultiVersus captures Smith so well and I am thankful that he is apart of this amazing game.
