I'm getting a feeling that Hugh might have been worked on before getting cut for time. He has two renders, both facing right.

This would also explain why PG's source was so adamant on him being in...he may have been among the last veterans cut.

I suppose the same could be said for PTM, who also has a right facing render.
So if the DLC is only going to be already represented series... why not bring back Hugh for it? Or make him a free update like Garfield and Shredder in NASB1? Why throw out all that work? How much was done with him?

He has multiple multiple renders..I've seen at least one more. I think he plays a decent sized role in the story

I'm not gonna say it's a guaranteed thing but I know for a fact more eyes are on this game than the first due to the boost in quality; more buyers means more potential for DLC means more chance for vets to return.

I don't understand some of the complaints I've been seeing as it's very common for new fighting games to cut a significant number of veterans in exchange for more newcomers. Have people ever played them before? I think Ultimate has spoiled gamers and made them even more ignorant than they already were to the limitations that usually pertain to this specific genre of gaming.

Also, some of the cut characters make quite a lot of sense in hindsight:
  • Having Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Shredder and April would really be pushing it, especially given that they're arguably not genuine Nickelodeon characters in the first place. If franchises like that can have five reps, where are Odie, Jon, Liz, Nermal and Arlene from Garfield? Why aren't people complaining about that?

  • Squidward and Plankton have both been added, so that balances out losing Sandy and Mr Krabs being left as a stage cameo. SpongeBob is obviously their flagship franchise, but it's not just a SpongeBob fighting game.

  • Hugh was a funny nod from the developers, but we now have the actual protagonist Jimmy who is obviously far more deserving of the spotlight. The game should ultimately celebrate the history of Nickelodeon, not just cater to Internet memes. Also, Nigel is still around to play the role of 'meme Dad character', so that itch is still being scratched if you really care that much about it.

  • As is typical of crossover fighting games, the developers have a habit of adding far more heroes than they do villains. Sure, Azula may not be as popular as Toph within the Avatar community, but the former adds much needed balance to the series representation. The aggressions of the Fire Nation acted as the catalyst for the events of the franchise, so it would be odd not to represent that in a fighting game featuring Avatar characters.
I'm not saying that all of the cut characters make sense to me as Powdered Toast Man seemed to be a very popular choice who had become the Captain Falcon equivalent for Nick Brawl. I also have no idea why the developers are allegedly limiting themselves with the DLC when franchises such as The Fairly OddParents are still nowhere to be seen. However, I still see this sequel as an overall improvement thus far. Besides, I have El Tigre now and Zim has stuck around, so my personal tastes have already been catered to.

Honestly, I'm getting really burnt out on crossover fighters in general since they have a way of making people overly obsessive over cuts and the like. At this point, I just want more original platform fighters that don't have to compete with Smash for people's attention like Rivals. That'd be nice.

Other fighting games aren't that different. Go over to Tekken 8 and its roster being leaked, a lot of people are lamenting how many characters they are missing. The thing is, 32 characters is an insane number for a modern fighting game and i'm more than satisfied, but i can understand when staples are cut, especially with certain reception to a few characters (Panda for example gets a similar reaction like Gertie in this game)

I'm not going to get started on Mortal Kombat, the whole mileena debacle last game soured me on roster speculation in that game. Doesn't game that 2 years worth of DLC was datamined for M1K.

Easy:
  • TMNT is far more popular than Garfield.
  • TMNT characters are much easier to translate into fighting game characters than Garfield characters.
Using ATLA as an example would've been much better, cuz that's also an action focused show. Plus, it was actually created by Nickelodeon, unlike TMNT and Garfield.

I wouldn't say TMNT is far more popular than Garfield, but it definitely has more of a presence on Nickelodeon, having multiple series made for the channel in the past 10+ years. With Garfield, you just have Garfield and Friends reruns in the late 90s and a new show that's yet to come out.

The fact we have such hard info about the dlc and people who clearly know what it is, mixed with one of the leakers seemingly just... having files

Makes me think the DLC speculation will also be cut short, maybe even in the files itself before the game drops.

My guesses would be
Stu Pickles, Luan Loud, Heffer Wolfe, and Sheen

Considering that the insiders know who the DLC is I wouldn't be surprised if they were leaked in the datamines before the game even launches.

Shuddering thinking absinthe discourse in the world where they cut Danny
Click to expand...
Well yeah. He's the 2nd most recurring character in Nick crossover games, only behind SpongeBob himself, as he had near perfect attendance since Danny Phantom first premiered in 2004, with him only missing the OG Kart Racers. Cutting him would be unbelievable.
