I think the Plankton BGM is the Fry Cook Games stage theme, right?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I didn't expect that for SpongeBob Final smash, but I'm not disappointed, can't wait to see the other characters moves. And the few new moves I saw on SpongeBob looks very cool too. I'm excited for the future character showcase.

In regard with the leak

Spoiler: Spoiler

Yeah I know people hate cut characters, but with those new mechanics, revamped graphics, cinematics super moves, story modes, and more unlockable contents, and with 11 newcomers, there's no way everyone is coming back. I'm sorry but at this point I think the art leak is what we'll get.

I'm sorry but you can't say "more characters" in your advertising but then proceed to have less characters than the first one. We're getting more characters.

I'm a bit more inclined to expect cuts now but I stand by my post from yesterday

 

[darkvortex]

I'm in the middle. I think there's cuts but we're not loosing all 11

To be fair GameMill is bad enough at marketing to think a roster that either barely or literally isn't bigger than NASB1 pre-DLC can be advertised as a "bigger roster".

But if there are all 11 cuts, I'm gonna be deadset on the pass being Timmy, Zuko, Otis, and both Leo and Mikey as fighter 4 with some shared moves to make it easier to add 2 fighters in one DLC. I refuse to believe they're tonedeaf enough to think people wanted Raph and Don because they hated the other two Turtles,

So, looking at the Plankton reveal again and seeing the robot's size compared to SpongeBob, I can definitely tell what PapaGenos meant by the robot being the biggest character in the game; I'm pretty sure it was slightly taller than even Reptar.

Also, I love that part of Plankton's jab involved Karen performing a rapid-fire punch attack; that's pretty funny!

Also also, with Patrick's Neutral Special being the buff spin attack that used to be his Strong Dash attack, I had a thought: did they confirm that Dash Attacks are returning?

I guess it's RIP to anyone who wanted a Mrs. Puff character.

Do you not remember how NKR1 was advertised?

Do you not remember how NKR1 was advertised?

That would require us to have paid attention to GameMill Nick games pre-NASB.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Didn't have the chance to watch, but I'm glad everyone enjoyed it! The Plankton reveal looks super funny as well.

Also thanks for the insult... xP

What was Spongebob's final smash? Can't find a recording of the presentation anywhere...

Mrs. Puff appears in a boat and he drives around wrecking into stuff including Squidward, it’s a pre-rendered cutscene I do believe

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

What else was shown in the trailer aside from slime cancelling and final smashes?

Also, air dashes only dash if you use the meter? I really hope it doesn't become super cetralizing...

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Plankton stage observations

1. FD form Irken, looks pretty long though.
2. Smashville form Technodrome
3. A rather strange Technodrome variant with two off-stage platforms to the left, and none to the right

Don’t worry Chief someone got a rip of the showcase already

Plankton kills canon alt theory by the way

 

[Guynamednelson]

Also thanks for the insult... xP

Sorry, I just knew most of us didn't really care about giving GameMill money until the NASB hype.

 

[LimeTH]

Plankton looks cool (they should have made Planton himself just a smidge bigger so he's easier to see but it's not a huge deal).

Can I say I'm not really a fan of Spongebob's new model? He looks stiff and the wiggly texture on his body is barely there. Kinda reminds me of how they drew him in seasons 6-8, which... no, just no.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Just watched the video, they did a great job presenting it (and I ove how the platforms rock in Flying Dutchman's Ship now!), but I don't know how I feel about centralizing the game's mechanics around a meter. Also how do you even activate the slime cancel itself?

The burst should at least be a good tool for characters like Reptar, though.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

I was referring to ZeDiglett mocking my pessimistic prediction. XD

I’m not so sure. It’d be really dumb, but they could technically just adjust how Plankton looks across the alts and leave the mech as is

 

[Ze Diglett]

As expected, I'm really excited about what this game's mechanics have to offer. The RPS system in the first game was pretty inconsequential and really just made certain interactions janky, so I don't think I'll miss it. As much as I liked comboing people in NASB1, it did feel a little touch-of-death-y at times and I hope the new defensive options will make getting out of pressure more fair without making advantage feel unrewarding. (The game actually having a burst is also really funny.) I cannot WAIT to see the big-brain **** I can pull with EX specials and slime canceling. The online streets WILL NOT be safe from my Garfield.
On the topic of Plankton, I actually think he looks neat! He doesn't seem as toxic as I was expecting, and I really enjoy how Karen shows up in his moveset. He's also just really well-animated in general, which isn't surprising given how much of a glow-up this game is from 1. Mr. Lawrence kills it in the VA department, of course. I'm sold on him now, even if I would've preferred Krabs. I actually think I'm more excited to try him than Squidward, which I wasn't expecting at all.

 

[RileyXY1]

Were any of the missing veterans shown?

I notice the new profile icon of your character, it looks pretty cute

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Which completely defeats the purpose of having alternates because the whole reason they exist is so that you can tell which one is you in a dupe match.

Stop defending a dead theory

 

[dlewis53]

Looking at the Plankton reveal again, I think I've figured out what his Specials are:

Neutral Special: He sprays what I'm guessing is ketchup at opponents.

Side Special: Rocketing forward via boosters.

Up Special: I believe it's the move where he's seen leaping up and slamming down with the opponent ala Incineroar's throw.

Down Special: I think it's the move where he's seen sucking the opponent down towards him; that move screamed down Special to me.

Finally, on a different note, after seeing the cinematic for SpongeBob's Super Move, I'm calling it now: those shots of Handsome Squidward are from his Super Move.

some more gameplay details from a playtester, sad to see air grabbing is gone but the rest of this is welcome

 

[CapitaineCrash]

No, the gameplay showcase was only SpongeBob and Patrick and Plankton trailer only had SpongeBob and Patrick again, with Jimmy and Reptar too.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'm starting to get concerned that the characters on the poster actually are the full roster of this game, and we're gonna have a whopping 11 cuts.

Oof, there's some bad news here. Not a side special fan, and I'll miss strong dash, dash cancelling, and especially projectile grabs.

HOWEVER - it's still mostly good! Smash throws I think are great, everything new said here about meter seems good, dash grabs are great, the approach to strongs outside of the removal of dash is good. Cancels only nerfing knockback is genius because well, it's not really a nerf when you're considering a combo-based tool!

I could never really figure out air grabs so I'm indifferent on that

 

[Alicorn]

Air grabbing sounded very toxic tbh. I've played enough against a good DK in Smash Ultimate to know how a cargo throw can take a stock.

 

[Faso115]

Might as well make a list:

Confirmed through gameplay: Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Nigel, Lucy, Rocko, Jenny, Reptar, Raphael, Donnatelo, April, Aang, Korra, Ren and Stimpy, Danny, Garfield, Jimmy, Plankton, Zim

Seen in the NASB1 portion: Lincoln, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Helga, Sandy

Not seen at all: Toph, PTM, Oblina, Hugh, Shredder, Catdog

Honestly, I can barely wrap my head around some of this stuff, I don't really play any fighting games outside of this and Smash. You all could beat me super easily, and I still need to get around to pulling my rank back up to the default in NASB1.

And yeah, the budget increase is continuing to be felt!

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I do wonder how two-part moves like Pooky (the bear, not the grandma) will work with EX - will throwing Pooky be the EX input, or sending Pooky back? I'm sure there's precedent for this sort of thing in tradfighters, but still.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I'd be alright losing Lincoln, Helga, Sandy, and Shredder. The rest would all make me pretty upset to lose.

 

[Baysha]

Damn. All the non-Smash platfighter sequels are making themselves more like Smash.
The game still looks really good I'm just still salty about Rivals 2.

Anyways, while the removal of cargo grabs and projectile grabs annoy me I'm still excited to see how the slime meter can shake things up and how the characters will all play. It does still seem like an improvement in general.

 

[Shroob]

It's been said to death already in regards to cuts but


I can't think of a single scenario where anyone sits down and thinks to themselves "Ya know what? We should cut 2 of the Ninja Turtles... and replace them with 2 of the Ninja Turtles."

 

[Mamboo07]

losing Lincoln

Would be insulting to me.

And there's that castle stage most likely from the LH Movie which was about him stepping out of the shadows of his siblings wanting to be special.

Having him not in the game and only Lucy being the LH rep doesn't feel right.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Honestly I think projectile grabs was a pretty stupid mechanic. I mean, it was fun to play around with but it just made every projectile way too useless. I think removing this mechanic will indirectly be a big buff to character like Zim.

Dash cancel I'm mostyly neutral on. Again, it was fun to work with but I think it just made the neutral game focus way too much on dashing.

I agree that I'll miss Strong dash tho. Not sure why you hate Side special that much, having more moves is always welcome imo.

I hope the developers aren't stupid enough to make that choice.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

I just hope nobody is cut, even for someone like Oblina the absence will be felt.

 

[Opossum]

Helga, Sandy, Hugh, Toph, and CatDog are the main five of the eleven unconfirmed vets that I'd be super bummed about losing. Here's hoping they all make it in.
