And so am I. There’s much more in his favor to return than not.

When I'm in a "having a very inconsistent opinion" challenge and my opponent is RileyXY1

 

[Guynamednelson]

I was being optimistic about him, though...

I'm afraid I got some bad news: The reputation of Lincoln has pretty much been ruined for this thread. We have Riley being Riley, and at least one or two people going on and on about how they should bring back all 11 characters...as a trojan horse just to get Lincoln back, never mind that while TLH lost 50% of its reps, A!RM and CatDog lost 100%.

Lucky for you, you're not responsible for it.

They should add Lucy’s ghost ancestor instead

Riley: Lincoln won't return because his sisters are just as much of the face of the series as he is.
Also Riley: Lincoln is amongst the most likely veterans to return.

Seriously make up your mind dude. Lol.

funny how you said that because i think i saw her in the background from Zim's Showcase

 

[ZeroJanitor]

She's also in Lucy's moveset (Ghost up-special)

 

[ivanlerma]

so i guess i was wrong about the cameo then.

I personally would have listed Krabby Patty, Pizza, Donut and presumably Cabbage under the same as "Food" like in Smash tbh.

Cheese Ray - The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

Finally, I can be the best character in the game.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Here's a new topic: Would you guys say that objectively, NASB and NASB2 are the best Nickelodeon-licensed games ever?

Or would you object to that and say something like Battle for Bikini Bottom are just as great?

 

[Alicorn]

what do you mean by "best?" Do you mean in overall enjoyment or units sold?

Do the old TMNT games retroactively count?

SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy will come to Brawlhalla:

What!?-do, huh, what!?

 

[ZeroJanitor]

finally Spongebob and TMNT are in a platform fighter together!

...wait...

 

[dlewis53]

So...is Brawlhalla any good? Apparently there's a Switch port, so I'm curious.

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

Brawlhalla is solid-ish, MVS better but still, $40 to own all characters from the get go, but crossover skins are a separate currency ($12.99 USD to get one crossover skin and have some credits left over)

Wait, so the crossover characters are just skins for characters already in the game? They're not fully separate playable characters?

That's how most F2P crossovers work

 

[Opossum]

Generally speaking all of the crossover characters are just skins for existing characters.

 

[Nintykid]

Brawlhalla is the closest thing to a official Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon crossover fighter we will ever get

 

[BluePikmin11]

not really, since it wasn't initially published by nick. but the new TMNT beat-em-up game counts for this.

Overall enjoyment.

Personally I can't stand it. To me it has no soul.

 

[darkvortex]

with the exeption of Rayman and Ezio, yes, all crossover characters are skins for other fighters ready in the game (spongebob actually goes over rayman). They get their own animations and sounds and the like but their playstyle is the same as the character they go over.

as for how the game plays. I'm not a huge fan but I get why it's appealing. it's less complex than other platform fighters, with one button specials. it's closer to.MVS than NASB

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Here's a new topic: Would you guys say that objectively, NASB and NASB2 are the best Nickelodeon-licensed games ever?

I think Nasb 2 could take that spot, but Nasb 1? Definitely not. BfBB is just so much more polished despite releasing 20 years ago.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

NASB 1 isn't even in the discussion tbh, it's so bad that there's a genuine risk of it dragging down NASB 2. Looking back on vods of the not so diehard people playing the launch of it is lowkey humiliating.

Lucky for you, you're not responsible for it.

Even if Lincoln were already in and had top billing, I'd still be upset about all of the missing veterans. No trojan horses here! Lincoln was just notable because his chances to come back seemed really grim for awhile (among all of the other reasons, such as the fandom really disliking the show), so I was more vocal about him. But I care about every veteran and would love to see all of them back, there's a genuine hole in the roster without them. I love Nickelodeon and care about these characters. It was literally my childhood. Thus it makes me sad to see so many characters I loved amd grew up with get the axe. And even if I hated CatDog (the show) and didn't really care about ARM, other loved both, and the former is instantly recognizable when thinking of Nickeloden. They didn't deserve to have their representation ripped from them. We don't know if it was Ludocity's bad decisions or Nick rushing them and demanding a certain amount of newcomers, but either way the cuts didn't solve any problems and only made people upset. If the game does well, I hope they can being at least some of them back, as they'd round out the roster beautifully and be easier to do anyway due to some having reusable assets in-game.

As for best licensed Nick game, BfBB Rehydrated, hands down. The game looked great and was super fun to play! My only gripe was some framerate issues in the Switch version. Honestly, it was a blast!!! Sure, it also has imitation Krabs, but he plays a minor enough role that it really isn't a big deal. I do wonder, though, what Nick's contract is with Clancy Brown in regards to external Spongebob media these days.

Though if we take fangames into account Mr. Krabs Overdoses on Ketamine is the obvious choice, its not even a contest.

Exactly. All those veterans being gone really turned down my enjoyment for this game. And let's not forget all the other shenanigans that they ended up doing. And as for Lincoln himself, I used to be really against him (which was weird because I main him) although that was just me pointlessly trying to be "cool" as I believed that a majority of the fanbase were TLH haters. But I was wrong. I've also looked at the facts and noticed that there was more evidence in his favor than against. So I decided to completely end my pointless vendetta against Lincoln once and for all.

 

[dlewis53]

I would say my favorite Nick games off the top of my head are Battle for Bikini Bottom and NASB1 (though we'll see how 2 fares next Tuesday).

I also remember Fairly OddParents Shadow Showdown being pretty decent.

 

[RileyXY1]

As all four DLC characters are pretty much all done at this point I think that the DLC will drop at a much faster rate compared to the first game.

 

[Opossum]

This I agree with, yeah. I think the surprise success of the first game genuinely caught them off guard, but now they seem to have a more concrete content roadmap.

 

[RileyXY1]

Plus they developed the DLC alongside the base roster, unlike last time. I think this was why they were leaked and revealed much earlier than with the first game. The first game was released in October of 2021 and it wasn't until May of 2022 that the DLC was revealed. Here, the game isn't even out yet and the DLC has been revealed already.

Yeah. There's also the fact that they had to spend time working on Garfield and Shredder who were meant for the base game, which slowed the DLC pipeline even more so.

In general it should go MUCH more smoothly this time, since there likely won't be that giant content drought that happened after Shredder's release this time.

And that's because there won't be any free update characters this time, and the DLC characters are pretty much all done and ready to go, so I'm expecting them to just release them at a rapid rate or just release them all at once.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Also remember that for the first game they had to work on items and voice acting among other things post launch, most likely at the same time that they were working on characters. Now the base game seems to be much more complete, so yeah I think dlc will go much more smoothly this time.

Along with the possibility of there being more DLC beyond these four, which is what I'm thinking will happen.

Well, not like Nintendo would be hosting tournaments for it. lol.

Pretty cool to see, though. Sony's involvement with the FGC does have its benefits (well... for the most part). Don't know if it means it'll be a main stage game at EVO but it's nice that it's getting some support outside of the devs/community.
