Megadoomer, fogdbadge, GamerZardEX and Dukefire are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there's still plenty of others that will move here.
They wanted to make references while still having a functioning moveset. They weren't going to make everything a reference. You can't utilize "every aspect of a character" either as Spongebob has a ridiculous amount of material to fill 10 or even 20 different movesets.
Yeah, that's quite plausible. I also just realized that GameMill does have a Nintendo connection - they're publishing Cruis'n Blast, which is a Nintendo-IP-of-sorts game and was announced in the last Direct - so I don't think them at least being able to contact Nintendo to ask if they would be willing to include a reveal in a Nintendo Direct is that far-fetched, all things considered.
I think it'll just be random, I doubt they've planned it in a particularly orderly way.
Allow me to answer all your questions with this brief rundown of everything we know.

The Patrick trophy is a reference to a single episode (called Big pink loser). However, this is one of the few episodes that focus more on Patrick than Spongebob. I would say that's it's also one of the most iconic episode of the show (No this is patrick! and Patrick trying to open the jar comes from this episode, both are pretty big Internet meme).
I mean, it's Labor Day. gotta get a break sometimesAre we seriously going ANOTHER day without any moveset posting or anything at all?
Wish they stuck to the 2 day pattern or something else, yesterday would've been a good posting date. The marketing team is so inconsistent and I hate it ngl. They have such a hyped up product that's turning many heads and they aren't taking advantage of it very well.
To be absolutely fair, I don't think they even expected this level of engagement. They said they've had to make plans and redirect how they go about marketing the game because they weren't counting on a periphery audience blowing it up.
I'm 99% sure they're waiting for the next Nintendo Direct or even Playstation stream at the moment. Say what you will about Nick's lack of presence in Japan, the Japanese side of Nintendo's Directs have games that aren't shown in the West either.
Totally. Between the twitter account and the 2 revelation during Gamescom, I think they are now correcting the situation and trying to attract more attention to themselves.
So I just want to see where it'll go.
It's something they're probably doing as they can. I can't imagine the team is massive and with release soon they're likely all hands on deck. The little moveset posts they make almost seem like 'homework' and something they're doing on the side, not part of the initial marketing plan. A little extra to help maintain interest/retention.
absolutely, personally I can’t help but feel grateful for the immense developer insight and transparency
Did you just repeat those lines for rocko on purpose? i wonder if it's for humorous reasons.You know what we should dunk on instead of the incredibly small and passionate team that is Ludosity? Me. Let's dunk on me.
In particular, let's dunk on the Bingo Card I made about one and a half months ago, before I was actually paying attention to speculation in any meaningful way (though I was aware of Catdog, Aang, Korra, Ren, and Stimpy being on the box, so I excluded them)... as I had some choices that have not aged well.

So... Yeah, this has not aged well. I honestly may not get a single spot checked off here. Let's break down how it went wrong, shall we?
Live-Action Characters: With iCarly's recent reboot and rumblings of a Zoey 101 reboot, I thought it was possible we'd see content from them. I was both wrong about if live action characters would get anything and wrong about the idea that these roster choices are primarily designed to align with current marketability.
Nick Junior Characters: I like Blue. I like Dora. I like Oswald the Octopus. I thought it was possible that'd include Nick Junior content, having noticed the IGN thing where it listed the franchise as including Nick Junior... which turned out to be just how IGN lists all Nick games. Junior content isn't deconfirmed, but it certainly isn't seeming likely - and we're definitely not getting 3 Nick Junior reps. Also, I had no clue leg-girl speculation existed, so my use of the Dora from the movie's spore scene is a coincidence. I just liked that scene.
Timmy and Jenny: When I made this, I didn't know Frederator Studios was an actual animation company. I thought it was a YouTube channel that made those "107 Facts" videos that usually include at least a few outright incorrect facts. Turns out that they have done more then that. Good for them, I guess! Hopefully the game gets DLC and they get brought on-board for it.
Donatello: Donny is my favourite ninja turtle. I thought he was a safe choice. I was very wrong.
Arnold and Angelica: I figured they'd include more Rugrats and Hey Arnold content along with the characters revealed in the first trailer. This may still happen, but, at least for the moment, things aren't looking good.
Plankton: I like Plankton. He could have a big robot. It could be fun. That said, I have no clue what made me put him on this list before Mr Krabs though... I mean, they could copy-paste Business Casual Man's moveset from Slap City for him! Frankly, I think I may have made a joke about how the moveset would fit Mr Krabs when I first saw Business Casual Man...
Asami: I wanted to put a second TLoK rep on my sheet and picked Asami. I honestly do still think she may eventually get into the game - Ludosity's history of writing queer narratives makes me think that they may jump at the opportunity to include one of the earliest examples of such narratives in children's animation, as controversial as parts of that narrative is - but I'm certainly not anticipating her for the base roster.
Miko: I wanted a modern character on the sheet and went with Miko over a second Loud sibling. She has some demand within the fandom - a surprising amount for a non-nostalgic character, honestly - and I still think she'd be fun, but I now wonder if literally being from the 2020s may make her too modern for the game, at least at launch... She'd be neat, but I'm not expecting her.
Jimmy: I grew up when Jimmy and Timmy dominated the cartoon sphere. He seemed like a safe bet. Turns out he may not be. Hard to say if we should fully count the boy genius out yet, but it is certainly no longer feeling like a safe bet.
Rocko: This is the only character who I feel hasn't had his chances change at all since I made the Bingo sheet. At the time, I thought he made sense because he's commonly in these crossovers, is another 90s character, and recently had a Netflix movie. Now, I think he makes sense because he's commonly in these crossovers, is another 90s character, and recently had a Netflix movie.
Toph: And, finally, the one character whose (at least perceived) odds may have increased since I made this sheet! I picked Toph as my TLA rep because I thought she'd have a fun moveset and would stand out from the rest of the roster, narratively, mechanically, and aesthetically. Seems like Ludosity and I may be on the same page with that one!
The fact that Donatello may never be in this game is nothing but a crime. Huge missed opportunity.You know what we should dunk on instead of the incredibly small and passionate team that is Ludosity? Me. Let's dunk on me.

i hope its not for any purpose. i hope to god.
Yes, that was the joke. My opinion on Rocko has not changed, so I repeated the same points for him in the past and present tense.
I'm... not sure what you mean here? Do you not want me to think Rocko makes sense, or did my dumb joke have some implications I am not aware of?
It's unfortunate. Obviously there's a metric tonne of possiblities for a roster like this, so there will always be opportunities missed, but I will miss Donny...
Nice card! Them only having 8 characters to reveal after the first trailer, with several already on the boxart, definitely makes a full 5 by 5 card hard to get a bingo on without some exceptional luck (not that my 4 by 4 card is doing any better).I made a bingo card too.

I think part of my problem was assuming that the roster was big enough for a full card and not realizing how few characters we didn't know about there were at that point. I think it was literally only April and the two or three mystery characters at the time. I think the full number of 22 was confirmed after I finished making this.
I picked a mixture of legit predictions, personal wants and jokes, so I won't go through and debunk every square, but yeah, in hindsight, I think I was a bit too optimistic.
I suppose that is kind of nice, at the very least.
Thanks! I like to make bingo cards for stuff like this, so I always go a little nuts designing them.
What, the main theme song of the game? The music from the trailer?
...A remix of what?
Personally, I would love to see him as a stage hazard. Like I have the perfect idea for him:
...Did you not like Lifelight or something?
Hold up, was Rocko disconfirmed? While I think it's possible we'll get a different Rocko rep I still think Rocko is the most likely character from the show.
