Biggest Fixes Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Needs

Probably one of the biggest changes Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl makes in comparison to other fighters, both 2D and 3D alike, is the fact that players can actually counter projectile spam ( a classic trope of the fighting game genre ) incredibly easily, either by hitting them back at their opponent or by catching them using the "Grab" m


Patrick Star is a pretty oddball character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Stars patch notes, even more so than he is in his usual Spongebob Squarepants setting. For example, in this game, he’s a grappler — though it would be more apt to say a "hugger" — and a pretty decent one at that. And, his Down+Special, "Hug Driver," grabs his opponent and launches them with them to slam them into the gro


And finally, let’s end things on a very common mistake a lot of NASB players seem to be making, and that’s the fact that the right stick is auto-bound to Strong Attacks. Sorry to keyboard players, but most of the NASB audience is likely playing the game with some sort of controller. A good portion of players struggle a bit to adapt to both Strong and Light Attacks being bound to different buttons, rather than both being part of the same input as they were in Sm


So, keeping all that in mind, there’s a lot of little mistakes people are making when playing this game that they’ll most likely figure out given a week or so. Here are just a few mistakes addressed to help beginners get the hang of things in Nickelodeon All-Star Bra


While Rugrats has Reptar, The Fairly OddParents has its own in-universe, fictional superhero in the Crimson Chin . This flamboyant crime-fighter sometimes leaps off the page thanks to the magical fairies at the series' center. During these instances, he boasts the super strength that you'd expect from a comic book i

If this were to be fixed, players are hoping that these two animations would have more differences, or would be completely different animations altogether. On top of that, there are some characters ( again, Ren & Stimpy ) who have a lot of very "disjointed" animations, without much, if any, transition between t


First things first, let’s be real, this game is very mashy. Moves come out so quickly and finish even faster, meaning there are a lot of moments in a match where both players will be spamming an input over and over hoping it h


This is another fix that would need quite a lot of work to actually address, but it is something that would greatly improve the core gameplay overall. As was previously stated, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is incredibly fast-paced. Frankly, the comparisons between it and Super Smash Bros Melee are pretty f


And finally, speaking a bit more on the Grabs in NASB, they’re so incredibly versatile. Players can use grabs to set themselves up for combos, grab projectiles out of the air, interrupt their opponent charging up an attack, and m


Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl includes plenty of characters to satiate fighting game fans. Many of these come from various points throughout the network 's history. That said, there's still ample room for m


But, in NASB, while it does look clunkier, none of the characters have this jumping startup, meaning that those couple of frames saved can be used to unleash attacks faster. Again, it doesn’t make a huge difference, but utilizing this does make short-hop attacks and wavedashing feel better over


Whether SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake or Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be "good games" when they release is still unknown, but it's easy to have hope for their successes. Nickelodeon is jumping hard into the licensed games market with pushes to its fans' nostalgia that feels like more than just a marketing gimmick. It seems like the developers care about the properties they're adapting, and want to present consumers with something they can also appreciate. Regardless of their success, it's hopefully a good sign for how licensed game development evolves from here, be it for Nickelodeon properties or otherw


And, while the budget of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl obviously wasn’t huge, the dev team still did a fantastic job making a game this good with what they had. That said, there are still some early flaws people are noticing, both design-wise and mechanically, so let’s go over some of them


Though it also offers live-action programming, Nickelodeon arguably became best known for its lineup of animated cartoons which aired over the 1990s and 2000s. Popular Nicktoons ranging from The Ren & Stimpy Show 's dark themes and violence to The Fairly OddParents ' imaginative childhood wonder stand out to this day, and SpongeBob SquarePants is still a pop culture icon some 22 years after his show debuted. Though Nick is still running newer programs like The Loud House , its "golden era" inspired more than a few licenced video games, and a slate of new releases harken back to those nostalgic f

But, in All-Star Brawl, players can hang onto the ledge confidently, knowing that it’ll stop their opponent from grabbing it. And more than that, this game has an insane amount of characters with useful spiking moves that launch their enemies down at high speeds, making it even easier to ledge-
