Oh my GOD the Beavers look awesome. They really are CatDog done right.

I agree that the Beavers look great, but they are not, under any circumstances, "CatDog done right." They're a completely different kind of duo, and comparing them is a disservice to both the Beavers and CatDog. The only way for CatDog to actually be done right would be bringing them back and updating their moveset, but we'll have to wait a few years to see that happen.

Am I seeing things or did he pull a piano out for an attack?

Yeah.

Looks like it's one of his throw attacks.

He means CatDog the function, not the character. The concept of a seemingly-similar stance fighter with hidden differences, which, even as someone who loves CatDog in NASB 1, was not done right with them, having no different stats and only 3 different moves.

 

[Janx_uwu]

Imma be real I had no idea CatDog was a stance fighter until now

 

[dlewis53]

Yeah.

Huh, I stand corrected. I must've missed that.

I haven't caught that much Hey Arnold in awhile but


If I had a nickel for every time a Hey Arnold character in Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 used a piano for an attack I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

I think the word is based

Just watched Gerald's showcase. I like how he sells the idea of being the cool kid on the block, with the different sports stuff and the skateboard and whatnot. Speaking of, that skateboard move looks really fun, especially with the different directional inputs.

I will say that his model could've been better, though. Instead of making a good 3D design that can look good from any angle like with Spongebob, or going extremely stylized with faces that only look good from certain angles like Jenny or Ren & Stimpy, it feels like they took a weird halfway approach and it just looks off.

 

[SmashPacker66]

I think they did pretty good with Gerald ngl. He’s got a lot of potential in my eyes. If these types of videos are anything to go by, I bet there’s a lot of neat callbacks to Hey Arnold that are hidden in there. (I haven’t seen the show in years lol)

 

[ZeroJanitor]

I think the weird side-face is most noticeable during dev camera shots; it generally looks fine during regular gameplay.

His moveset looks fun, I'm definitely looking forward to trying out his skateboard special in particular!

I mean... I look at these guys and I see two characters who switch between each other and have mostly identical movesets with different properties. Minus the cool assist mechanic, that's basically what they were going for with CatDog the first time.
Anyway Gerald looks awesome. I gotta say I didn't expect him to be a zoner, but he's got some really cool options for locking your opponent down and keeping them in The Zone. I really am spoiled for choices this time, ain't I?

He looked fine in the leaked footage, a "needs to get close to kill" zoner, which I think all NASB2 zoners seem to be in some form.

Most well-designed zoners in the genre are this to at least some degree. Being able to kill from a distance in a platform fighter is generally pretty silly, especially if the game has bad counterplay to projectiles in general like Smash.

 

[Mamboo07]

Spoiler: Yeah, I don't really think we're going to see Timmy anytime soon...

Yeah, this all tracks so far.

Some kind of weird legal mumbo jumbo in place for FOP; it's likely why, despite being a highly popular, big name Nick show, FOP hasn't actually appeared in any Nick crossover games since Toybots in 2007.
(Most recent is the Nick Tennis game)

Even Globs of Doom, the last game in the Unite series, didn't have any FOP content despite Timmy being a prominent character in the first three games.

 

[Alicorn]

This is why IP owners are very tight fist about IPs so stuff like this doesn't happen.

Some random guy owns the rights to Timmy's hat. Like why?

It's just a joke. I think. I hope. The comments about what the DLC pass's gonna be have made my hopes for Timmy plummet anyway but still

 

[Faso115]

For some reason i thought someone would have brought up Tara Strong doing bad takes on twitter as a reason Timmy ain't happening but glad to know it's just classic legal nightmares instead.

Man Timmy makes Sora in smash sounding reasonable by comparison.

She did come back for Ember, so that's not an issue.

Maybe let's not open that can of worms in the funny SpongeboymeBob fisticuffs game thread

Gerald looks much more fun that what I expected I have to say, though I know he's really not my type of character.

Also this isn't a criticism aimed specifically at Gerald but I just realised watching his showcase, am I the only one who find some combos in this game awfully long? I'm used to fighting games that doesn't focused too much on combo (like Smash bros, Tekken, Virtua fighter or Samurai Shodown), so seeing character doing absolutely nothing and getting comboed looks kind of annoying actually.

 

[Alicorn]

It is a demonstration, and there is a way to break out of combo strings so it won't be like watching a slide show like it is in Smash Bros Ultimate

One thing to consider is that they probably aren't DI'ing much.

I guess that's true, but there seems to be a lot of very long multi hit move, such as Gerald up special which you can even slime cancel to conect to other move.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

The tester is doubling down on the whole Timmy's hat thing.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

We could just get hatless Timmy, right?

Not but seriously this really sucks, I'm not sure what even happened internally at Nick for the rights to Timmy being this fragmented.

Well the other thing to consider is that the slime meter isn't infinite, they are expending it quite a bit. If it's an actual match and not staged, the other player might just be saving up for their super.

I'm guessing those could be free updates tbh.

Oh man this is actually genius, the gross-out close up is such a huge part of the show and it's the show that heavily popularise this type of humor (it's sometime associated with SpongeBob but Ren & Stimpy did it way more regularly and before SpongeBob).

Islamophobia.

So someone ask on the discord how in the world the situation where some random dude have full rights on Timmy's hat even happened, and according to that same tester it's because they gave this dude the rights when he left the company.

Honestly I'm not sure if that's accurate because I'm not sure how a tester would have that kind of information unless he specifically asked someone on the team, but if that's true man this is a dumb thing to do. I can't believe Nick would actually give the rights to a part of some of their most important character as a gift without thinking that they might need the full rights to said character in the future. This is genuinely pretty sad honestly if that's accurate.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

TNT said that Ren doesn't actually disappear after the super move (so the steam screenshot was indeed glitched), and the second tweet saying Ren dies was a joke.

Genuinely not sure if this is a meme or not, but I like to think after Ren & Stimpy's super, this grotesque closeup of Stimpy just covers the screen and slowly fades away over the course of 20 seconds, completely obscuring gameplay.

 

[RileyXY1]

Another reason why Timmy might not happen aside from all the legal issues is that it's difficult to come up with a moveset for him that doesn't violate the show's lore. Particularly the whole "you're not allowed to use magic to win a competition" thing.

This might surprise you but the SpongeBob characters are all playable despite many of the stages not being underwater.

 

[AreJay25]

The Fenton Thermos can only catch ghosts, but it's Danny's super in a game where it should only work on two characters, including himself.

It's a crossover fighting game. This is a game where a lazy, Monday hating cat is able to beat the Avatar. Don't overthink it.
