If anything, I would expect the hypothetical third Loud House character to be shown off before Ren & Stimpy.

I wonder where they'd put a Loud House rep in the reveal order, if there is one left... Do you save them for last or push them out a bit sooner?

I had some free time so I figured while I'm arguing in favor of solo Beavers, I'd put my money where my mouth is draw up a hypothetical moveset for Daggett. Someone did it for Vexus, so I thought it'd be fun to try.

Very nice moveset! Lots of Catdog vibes in all of the body modification stuff and it looks super full of references. Can't say it is an IP I have much familiarity with myself, but it looks fun to play!

Buff Dog was definitely the inspiration for the standard Special, good eye. And thanks!

On the topic of this mystery character having a shine move, is there a chance it could be Oblina and the scaring move she used in the first NASB trailer is the shine move?

 

[dlewis53]

I'm hoping the music for this game is pretty good.

...Because I discovered a playlist for extended versions of the music from Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 (the previous Nick game produced by GameMill), and the music for that game freaking SLAPS!

Spoiler: Dagget moveset.

I'll try and do one for Norbert later.

Ah Jeez, It's the Big Fat Daggett.

Question: Have any of the Nickelodeon channels played the 80's TMNT?

Question: Have any of the Nickelodeon channels played the 80's TMNT?

Not as far as i know. The closest thing is their Crossover with the 2012 Nick show in Trans-Dimentional Turtles and other 2 crossovers between them.

But hey if Smash can have Third Parties that have barely any Nintendo presence, i don't think this is too much of an issue, as at least in this case Nick owns them.

At least we know that recent Nick game staffs are blatant '87 TMNT fanboys. Hell, in regards to Shredder's Revenge, DotEmu and Tribute Games pretty much abused a loophole when Nick never specified if their TMNT game had to be based on any specific incarnation.

Makes me wonder how much of a cut in royalties Murakami Wolf and Lionsgate get when the '87 Turtles are used in any capacity.

It has been pretty interesting getting to see every opinion about the subject on this game It has given me a lot to think about. Still, it seems like the general impression seems to be positive towards the gameplay but negative towards the sound and music for the game. I remember a couple of compains aout how it looks visually but nothing that seems too negative. It even made a couple of people change opinion after seeing full on gameplay of the whole thing rather than bits and snips.

One question was brought up on all the videos that makes me wonder which version is going to be the most popular and which version should I get. Has anyone over here decided on a specific version of the game. Which one is it and why?

 

[dlewis53]

I pretty much had no choice but to pre-order the Switch version because the Switch is the only compatible console I own and my PC isn't really designed for gaming.

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

all in due time I know but it's crazy how little we still truly know about this game

I trust we'll find out in due time, but yeah.... Definitely going to be some major news drops depending on how this all shakes out...

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

the roster prediction where you just pretend likelihood based on series isn't that big of a factor

The Switch version, mainly because I would rather have as few physical PS4 games as possible, but also because as a Smash fan, it feels like a natural fit for me.

Yeah, but then I remind myself that it releases next month.

 

[Alicorn]

April looks pretty strong from the exhibition matches.

We get it. The game's coming out in October. Nobody here has denied that since Xbox pre-orders opened. You're not proving a point, you're just being annoying.

Latest reveal always wins, that's how marketing works.

I was just saying, there's probably still some doubters out there somewhere.

At least until the post-release balance patches crop up, anyways.

 

[Teeb147]

I was thinking of getting it on switch at first, but I think the pc version will be easiest for me to play online.

I'm wondering though, if we can't play cross-platform, which will be the go-to for online tournaments?

 

[Mamboo07]

I predict that the next character's moveset to be revealed is Leonardo with Lincoln's moveset being revealed after him.

Considering PC will likely have the best online plus mods I feel like that'll be the one.

Isn't PC use avoided in fighting game tournaments or something like that? Think it was something to do with mods or cost.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Isn't PC use avoided in fighting game tournaments or something like that? Think it was something to do with mods or cost.

It's mostly to do with most PCs being too huge to constantly carry around. Steam Deck should fix that, assuming all games people wanna play will work on Linux. I've been able to play Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear Strive on Kubuntu, the former is 100% perfect but the latter replaces the background of the character select screen with test bars for some reason.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

So just for fun, from the fight we saw what tier do you think the characters are? I feel like April is definitely high tier or top because of her combo potential and very fast moves. CatDog could be high too because of their ranges and they seems to kill very fast. Nigel looks low tier to me but this might because the Nigel player was bad. Lucy unsure, could be mid-low but also the player playing her seems to be not that great. Spongebob will most likely be mid or high-mid. Unsure about Patrick and the Turtles.

 

[UserKev]

Missed this thread it seems.

I want the Shredder, instant buy day one. Aang and Korra are icing on the cake. Would love Plankton as a mech fighter.

 

[RileyXY1]

April's moveset would be revealed before Lincoln's, and perhaps even the Ren and Stimpy reps.

This is hard to get a good read on because, as you alluded to, the two 1v1s we saw had the two opponents be of polar opposite skill levels. So that hurts how Nigel and Lucy look in particular.

I do think that the SpongeBob, April, and CatDog players put out a really good showing. April's strong attacks seem really good for range and power, the boom mic in particular. What I assume is Cat's air up strong is also both incredibly powerful and very disjointed, which seems great for KOs off the top. SpongeBob seems to have strong fundamentals in general, which is a good sign for the mascot character.

 

[Teeb147]

I would guess they'll try their best to make all characters viable and good.

April and Catdog did seem super good and at least high tier tho Catdog is so fast for how much range they have.
Looking forward to seeing top play with each character at some point :D

That duo would definitely be first pick if we were to add some villains to the cast.

Seems like stage theory is a lock given how they mentioned that Spongebob's stage is Jellyfish Fields. Looks like we will get our third avatar rep 100%.

My impulse would be PS5 due to technical benefits and ease of travel, but people will probably want it to be a platform that supports GameCube controllers so... honestly hard to say.

So, Karen would be doing most of the heavy lifting and getting none of the credit? That... sounds very accurate to their character dynamic; I like this proposal.

Woah, they're going all-out with these. Exciting to see that we'll be getting full breakdowns for everyone!

And, yeah, the game does indeed seem to have home stages. Not really a surprise, but nice to have it confirmed. I wonder if that'll impact the Classic Mode equivalent...

unique victory AND losing animations! Spongebob has his little Band Geeks dance when he wins and Patrick nails the board to his head when he loses!

 

[Ze Diglett]

Can we talk about how Patrick got absolutely DEMOLISHED at the very end there? I can't believe Imaaagination Clap SPIKES.
Also, get ready to unironically hear the words "SpongeBob's air combos are too good" in about a month.

 

[Opossum]

Can we talk about that Floor Sweep at the ledge? Lmao.

So cute! If we get team battles, I hope we'll get some unique team battle victory screens too.... You know, recreating famous moves with the duos like this...

That was a feature in Slap City, but that game also had only 9 characters.

And here I had trouble figuring out how to make Plankton work without going the Imitation Krabs route.

Just a shame that we wouldn't hear any of her sass (until further notice).

I wonder if they'll pick up speed showing overview stuff and new characters from next week onwards.

 

[cashregister9]

Now with Stage Theory most likely being true I want to bring back my Theory on who the potential third avatar character is

Azula - The third avatar stage appears to be Omashu, Omashu is where Aang and Azula first fought, This is before they even met Toph. Azula is a popular villain so that would be interesting

Zuko - The Western Air Temple is where Zuko joined Aangs team, So it would be funny if the Omashu stage was Aang's stage and The Western Air Temple was Zuko's stage Appa and Momo appear on the Air Temple Stage, this theory is BUSTED

Toph - This is just because Omashu is in the earth kingdom. But Toph did not go to Omashu in the show.
