Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl General Thread - All Star Brawl 2 Available Today!

[amageish]

Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera arguably upstage Nick by themselves in terms of both legacy and consistent worldwide distribution... and that's before we consider Cartoon Network... and Warner Bros also causally has two of the highest-grossing fantasy worldsof all time in the form of Middle-earth and the Wizarding World... and also they own all of DC on top of that. Yeah, uh, Warner wins. Warner Bros even wins if you expand Nick to include all of Viacom-CBS' IPs (which primarily just adds Star Trek and Paramount Films).

That said, being more iconic isn't all you need to make an exciting fighting game. I think Warner Bros be held to a higher standard of character selection given the absurd amount of things they own and how even some of their "smaller" franchises have absolutely huge fanbases.

So are we legit out of stuff to talk about regarding Nick Brawl itself already?

Any word on when the consoles are gonna get the patches? Any hints on the Discord for when Garfield and Shredder are happening? Any crazy new tech discovered?

Nothing interesting has happened and there hasn't been any peep from anyone associated to the game worth of note recently.

Honestly, we're kind of running on fumes here.

OK, so what are the ones NOT worthy of note?

The closest thing to that would be Nystrom saying how Nick contacted him.

Maybe it's a good time for anyone who has access to their Discord to ask if we can expect anything soon (I don't expect any reply that's less vague than "soon").

I love crossover games, so I'm so down for this leak

Also, THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT ADD SOMEONE FROM MUCHA LUCHA

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Uh, Rep said these pretty nuanced things about people holding off from buying the game until it has more content and is more polished.

Otherwise... Hitboxes are being fixed! That's nice!

Oh goodness; that show is buried deep in my memories lol. It'd be neat to see the game get some deep cuts like that; my fear is that the theme being a "Warner Bros" crossover means that it'll be almost all big names with only more niche stuff being things like RWBY which fall into the "Wait, sorry, Warner Bros owns that?!?!" camp...

Honestly, even Xiaolin Showdown stands more of a chance, but having Mucha Lucha representation would be nice regardless.

That said, Crews' latter statement is admittedly helpful and reassuring though (particularly the long haul part).

It's finally updating on Xbox!

So, Glad to know people are talking about the Warner Brothers Fighting Game to get a discussion going there are pretty much nothing left to speak about since we're currently waiting in the dark for any news on the two characters and DLC.

Also, I'm surprised about what the roster had to offer, i was talking about this with my brother and we discussed all the possible series' they can use so almost all the characters we brought up are in the supposed list if it's part of the final roster.

I Honestly didn't think Johnny Bravo would be on there since i don't see him under the same levels of Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time on who from Cartoon Network would be in a Warner Brothers Crossover Game(LEGO Dimensions had Adventure Time & Powerpuff Girls out of the four i just mentioned) Perhaps Johnny might've been added over favoritism or something to make the roster seem interesting.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

I'm personally pretty excited for a WB platform fighter soley because of the insane roster potential. Judging by the roster leaks, it looks like any popular franchise owned by WB is fair game. However, the most crazy realization of all is...

Spoiler

We can get Grinch leak 2.0, only this time with the actual Grinch as a character

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

So, how do timed battle ties work? Lowest percentage? Last to hit?

It's obviously not everyone in the base roster (if the leaked names are true), as 9ish characters would be puny for a game backed by a huge name, as opposed to Ludosity's Slap City.

One thing for sure is, it's anything goes and barely anyone's off the table for that one.

 

[FreeFox]

A new platform fighter by Warner? Interesting at the very least. I just hope that they get a team with experience and knowledge on the genre because its way harder to make a good one than what it might seem.

I also have great news. I got a girlfriend of one of my friends to buy the game! She played the game this weekend with us and she plays a pretty mean Oblina.

This has actually just happened in Fortnite, where the Grinch has been datamined as an upcoming character lol.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

I've played a bit and it seems the crashing issue has been entirely fixed.
The lobbies had a lot more people able to connect as well, and aside from a 150 ms Patrick the matches themselves were smooth as butter.

I really hope the content updates aren't late for Switch

Whoops, sorry. I don't actually play the game myself and was just going off of what a friend relayed to me, but apparently it's a Reddit text leak that aligns with other things that have been coming true thus far claiming that the Grinch will be coming to Fortnite, not a datamine.

It's always the Patrick players with the bad connections, I swear...

I'm a bit skeptical of this leak as that Twitter reply seems to be the only source for it as I have not seen it anywhere else and people asking for the source are linked to it. and some of the information in the leak is already false. but if that leak is real It would not shock me there have been a lot of legit leaks lately.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

The Patricks haven't really been that bad for me, but I've run into at least a dozen Tophs and not one had a good connection.

I'm beginning to think that all the WiFi Zeldas migrated to this game and are Melon Lord mains.

Question, why don't people use Cat stance with Catdog, they mainly use Dog stance

 

[Ze Diglett]

I actually mainly use Cat since I think both Hairball and his Strong Up Air are way better than Dog's. Grounded Neutral Strong is debatably worse, but even then, it can be used out of combos whereas Dog's really can't. I honestly feel like Cat is better than Dog and people are just sleeping on him because Dog's hitboxes look bigger.

The rumoured platform fighter 'Multiversus' is most likely being made by the newly formed Warner Bros San Diego.

I mentioned this back in February this year. F2P akin to Brawlhalla, so not a premium game like Smash or Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.https://t.co/XPMrJS2bRN

The fact that the job description even highlights "in-store special offers" as a selling point tells us all we need to know, lmao. The studio being literally brand new is just icing on the cake.

The fact that Punch-Time Explosion might actually end up being more competent is incredibly sad.

What a god damn shame honestly

This could have been something amazing or something at least competent like smash and All-Star Brawl, but now it's just going to be another microtransaction, in-game currency, money laundering scam mobile crap game that's gonna just happen to also be on consoles.

What a ****ing waste

 

[Flyboy]

We really are lucky that Nick wanted this game to be a success mechanically from the start, huh? Even if they didn't expect it to blow up like it has so they didn't give them a huge budget, it shows serious promise.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

F2P doesn't inherently mean bad - that being said, it usually does. Especially on consoles.

Oof. Well, the chances of this being good keeps dropping at a very alarming rate. Also, I hate Freenium. Why did it have to be Freenium?

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I think the Warner game have a lot of potential. They just need a good and passionate team like Nick all stars have. The fact that it might be free screams a bit "lower budget" but does it mean it will be bad? We know Nick all stars was very low budget too. With good mechanics and a good starting roster I'm sure the Warner fighthing game might be good.

I've madfe a mockup roster for the game. It's hard to pick characters because there's so many possibilities and different franchises and esthetics.

Spoiler: Warner roster

 

[SneakyLink]

The Warner fighting game being freemium is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand it allows for more people to check it out since y'know, it'd be free. On the other hand, Microtransactions and the potential for loot boxes are a thing. That said, I made my top 10 characters that I'd like to see in the game list yesterday and thought I would share it:
1. The Eds (Ed, Edd n Eddy)
2. A character from the Wizard of Oz
3. Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)
4. Finn & Jake (Adventure Time)
5. Gilligan (Gilligan's Island)
6. Robotron Hero (Robotron 2084)
7. Stripe (Gremlins)
8. Austin Powers
9. Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
10. Ruby Rose (RWBY)

As for Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, I still play it, but it has gotten a bit boring, mostly because I'm too used to using Lucy and Reptar and haven't tried the whole roster yet. Maybe I should give the characters I haven't played a go.

 

[ivanlerma]

It kinda stinks to hear the positive discussions for the Warner Brothers Game go down with so much negativity. I don't how to feel about this microtransactions stuff(and frankly i feel it's a bad thing) but that shouldn't bring the game down in it's entirety,
you know if they saw what Nick did then maybe they'll fix the game up to look good on launch.

Pretty Okay List, I don't see Johnny Bravo on here who was listed in the leak and i would have put a couple more other characters on here to make it look like a Warner Brothers All-Star Fighting.

 

[amageish]

I've enjoyed F2P multiplayer games before; I just hope that "Akin to Brawlhalla" is just referring to it being F2P with cross-platform support and not, like, focused on selling skins more then actually developing unique movesets for every character... If the devs are passionate, I could still see this being fun, but it's certainly not an optimism-inducing framing on the part of that insider.

[cashregister9]

Y'all realize a game can still be fun even if it has Microtransactions right?

Like I hate them as much as the next guy but still, I will reserve judgement until the game is actually announced.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Eh, as long as it isn't a mobile game that poorly imitates a console game (or, at the very least, not be Brawlhalla with a slightly bigger budget), it could still be fun if done right. Although it depends on how the pay is implemented (e.g. getting in-game currency for bonus stuff by either playing the game for free or forking out real cash to get it faster). Everything may be starting to look clearer when the actual announcement comes, since we're still missing info (like how the gameplay even looks).

Also, I remembered that WB owns The Mask, so he'd fit in with very little issue since he's practically a cartoon character.

As for Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, I still play it, but it has gotten a bit boring, mostly because I'm too used to using Lucy and Reptar and haven't tried the whole roster yet. Maybe I should give the characters I haven't played a go.

Yeah, we really need actual new news for that soon. It's understandable that the DLC stuff hasn't actually been finished yet since the plans were set in motion at the last minute, but they can only distract people with base-game content tournaments for so long.

That being said, I think you'd have a ball with April and the Turtles.

Also, it saddens me to see articles pre-emptively dunk on NASB when it has yet to hit its stride yet.

I didn't realize Gilligan, Robotron, or Stripe were Warner Bros... Goodness; they own so many things...

Yeah Warnermedia (the company that includes Warner Bros) own a lot of stuff. For reference, this Wikipedia article has a list of assets Warnermedia owns.

For the three mentioned characters, Stripe is from Gremlins (a WB movie). Gilligan's Island was a result of Turner acquiring MGM and then selling it, but keeping some of its assets (including the pre-1986 MGM library, the Popeye Cartoons, distribution rights to RKO Radio Pictures library, and, humorously, Warner's own pre-1950 library (including cartoons)). Robotron is because Williams (original developers also famous for games such as Defender) transferred rights to their Video Game franchises to Midway in 1996 (that same year Midway purchased Atari Games (not the actual Atari but a spin off corporation) which includes games such as Paperboy and Gauntlet). Warner Bros acquired the Midway library in 2009 and has used it in various game compilations and Lego Dimensions.

And with the merger with Discovery happening in the future, that adds a lot more potential properties (although I think the game will be out before the merger happens).
