Ah. I guess I need to rewatch the showcase when I'm no longer on data.
Man, those two things aren't even close to being causation and effect. They gotta build the main roster first before they start working on EX stuff. Chill out with the doom and gloom.
we did not
Apparently it's not even finished yet.
that explains it
Unless those "other things" are the veterans.
"EX stuff" is part of the main roster though. It's built into the balancing.
They most likely laid out the groundwork for the entire roster's movesets first, THEN did the souped up versions of them once everyone's regular moves were finished.
“Surely they wouldn’t have just two turtles”
Jimmy was easily the most requested characters, so he must have been in the team mind very early on in the game development, I doubt he's a late game development addition. So yeah, him having still his moveset not finish is very weird to say the least.
The only way Nick would be able to approve of 2 4-character passes where each character was the main protagonist of an unrepped show was if 2/8 of them were...Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and CatDog.Seeing this, it kind of makes me glad we only got 2 new shows in base NASB's roster, since all the remaining shows Ludosity and Nick would care about adding are all in the top row, with the possible exception of Glitch Techs. We'd be running out of new shows to add faster than you could say "Canceled during season 1"![]()
You're free to be pessimistic I'm just saying that hearing that one or two of Jimmy's moves aren't done yet and that other things were priority does not even remotely relate to the size of the roster. Other characters got priority on being finished first (likely due to being less complicated to develop), how does that equate to guaranteeing a smaller roster? From the wording it even sounds like Jimmy especially has been the hardest to develop, so they've probably been working on him on and off for awhile.
Y'know, I find it interesting how in spite of the fact that Jimmy's Moveset technically isn't even finished yet, we still got a character showcase for him. I know the devs plan to release 2-4 of them per week, but I'm really curious at how fast/slow the devs can pump out these showcases. Couple that with possible announcements for the other newcomers/modes, I'm starting to think that it'll be something like:
That's his double jump. You can see him cancel Up Special into it when the narrator says you can jump out of it.
Fellow Professor Membrane chad? Based.
Everyone else is dooming over potential roster cuts, meanwhile I'm pogging over the fact that you can apparently switch to Goddard in the middle of a throw.
don't call me shirley
NASB2 also has an astronomically smaller budget than Brawl, and a way smaller team working on it, AND part of that team was splintered off into working on things like Slap City and NASB1's DLC for about the first year of its development. Comparing these two vastly different development situations to rationalize a lack of cuts seems kinda silly.
I guess here's something to consider regarding if making 36 fighters in 2 years is possible. And I'm sure NASB's scope is smaller than SSBB's anyway since there's not gonna be trophies or that many items, let alone assist trophies most likely.
I'm sure than 100 dev is much more than both Ludosity and Fair play labs combined tbh.

This is true, however on the other side of the coin, for arguments sake, a bigger budget could fund a bigger team to work on it, and once the DLC was done, the team working on that would likely return to join the sequel.
You sure about that? Game budgets were so much lower in the 6th gen (and arguably for Wii games too) that I wouldn't be surprised if Nicktoons Unite and NASB's budgets are comparable. Besides, like I said, I already know NASB2 won't have as much content as SSBB anyway:
Don't you threaten me with a good time!
It would be very strange if Sandy, Lincoln, Leo, and Mikey were given the axe, especially the later two due to the fact that not having all four turtles was one of the biggest criticisms of the first game.
I personally would find CatDog getting cut to be the strangest after Lincoln and the Turtles. Yeah, side inputs might make their gimmick harder to implement but they were such a hyped and talked about character from the first game that I can't imagine they wouldn't at least try to get them back.
Honestly, not at all. Nick has had no problems recasting people who've aged out of being able to perform their old roles. Arnold in The Jungle Movie is one such example. If they wanted to add Reggie or Otto, they'd simply recast.
Hell, there were like two or three Arnolds in the show proper.
