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

No one's upset. I only find it absurd that Danny Phantom was in the rotation at all. Going off this info, it was a genuine possibility that he got thrown under the bus in favor of Vlad and Ember. The fact that there was a chance at all... man. Not a good sign.

Probably a good thing Danny's updated face was one of the first things leaked huh?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

LMAO cutting out Danny but keeping Ember is like cutting out Spongebob but keeping Plankton.

What in the **** is this line of thinking?

Ya gon ****** up GameMills.

The original question prompting this was "are there any misconceptions you would like to clear up?"

Don't think I've felt worse for these devs than I do now. Not only is their game leaking everywhere months before release, but people are pinning things on them left and right that seemingly aren't their fault. Gotta be a rough week over at Ludosity and Fair Play.

They already cut 11 characters and locked alts behind a paywall. This game is just a treasure trove of bad decisions.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I just can't for the love of god understand who thinks these were great ideas. Who the **** is in charge???

We got a compilation of renders here.

Again, it's not GameMill (no S) who's doing this. It's Ludosity.

Besides, I don't think they think it was a good idea to cut all these characters. Just what had to be done in order to have any newcomers whatsoever.

They could have done both simply be reusing a lot of NASB1's assets instead of scrapping nearly everything, especially considering that they're still using the Unity engine. But as Unity is a dumpster fire now they might end up starting from scratch again for NASB3, this time on a new engine.

But then instead of complaining that characters are gone, people would instead complain about how janky Danny, Aang etc. still look. There wasn't a way to satisfy everyone.

But still, they could have brought back everyone and had a lot of newcomers on top of that. Instead, they chose not to, and they ended up making a crap ton of bad decisions. And due to the Unity controversy I don't know if the DLC is even happening.

Not necessarily. Even games which reuse assets from prequels still cut veterans, like Smash 4.

well all gamers are mad too i just don't like pointing that out on a forum full of them

 

[FazDude]

Honestly, the thing that bugs me most about paid alts - more than the fact that they exist - is that the number of alts per character included in the base game is just one short of the four-player maximum.

If Smash was released today the original roster would probably be this.

Luigi/Mario/Donkey Kong/Link/Samus/Fire Emblem protag
Xenoblade protag/Yoshi/Kirby/Inkling/Pikachu/Jigglypuff

[Faso115]

me thinks Rep's post about wanting to clear misconceptions is nothing roster related, just that maybe the fourth alt nonsense maybe it's fake or made up.

Or he is coping hard after the game constantly leaking, who knows

 

[RileyXY1]

Not necessarily. Even games which reuse assets from prequels still cut veterans, like Smash 4.

Although it wouldn't be as high as 11. Brawl only cut five characters from Melee and Smash 4 only cut six characters from Brawl, although one of them was later added back as DLC.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Say, didn't NASB 1 have a couple new characters come in free updates?

It's probably just wishful thinking but what do you guys think might be the odds of that happening again?

seems unlikely at this point. they seem to have their time management improved

 

[Faso115]

Last game we got free DLC because they disclosed the roster would be 22 characters but they couldn't finish Garfield and Shredder in time for launch, so they settled for free DLC.

Only characters that seems likely for are PTM, Hugh, Shredder, and Vlad.

Playtesters think the latter two feel like playable characters (though we don't know if they're like the diet fighter ATs who just have 6 moves at best), while the fomer two have several leaked renders in the style of playable characters.

If Smash was released today the original roster would probably be this.

Luigi/Mario/Donkey Kong/Link/Samus/Fire Emblem protag
Xenoblade protag/Yoshi/Kirby/Inkling/Pikachu/Jigglypuff

Or it would have 25 characters because the first Smash just being a weekend project would be impossible in today's game development climate, and the secondary Pokemon rep is more likely to be Eevee, Charizard or Lucario.

So far, when it comes to renders characters that are playable face right while NPCs face left. Although there are exceptions. PTM and Hugh have multiple renders where they face right, with Hugh having a whopping four and PTM having two. Frida, the Cabbage Salesman, and Master Splinter also have renders where they face right, with Frida having two as well. Ember meanwhile has a render where she faces left despite being playable.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

If there's any rhyme or reason to the left and right, it's probably that right means heroes team and left means villains team, nothing to do with playability. Could be wrong on this though, probably disproven by Azula/Zim's renders. Otherwise, I just think the dialog goes left-right-left-right and cutscenes with multiple characters (especially an odd number of them) would mean characters could be swapping sides.

Despite them being villains, both of Azula's and Plankton's renders have them face right, so if this is true they might end up being heroes rather than villains in the story mode, which would be weird. Meanwhile the completely heroic Dr. Wakeman has her render face left.

 

[darkvortex]

I really don't think There's any pattern I think it's just based on where you are on the stage, who's talking, how many people there are, etc

Cabbage Man isn't a right facing render. His head is tilted right, but that's due to posing: it's a smug head turn and smirk. His actual body language and positioning gives away that it's a left facing render.

I think there would almost certainly be some form of animal crossing rep. too

OK. That leaves just Hugh, PTM, Frida, and Master Splinter as non-playable characters that face right, with Ember facing left despite being playable. Let's see if we get more renders. Based on this, if we are getting free update characters, those are the ones we're gonna get.
