Wavedash is inactionable for the first ten frames, which is exactly the same as Melee. Probably not a coincidence.

 

[Teeb147]

They removed air dashing (unless you use slime) but not wavedashing.

I tried to do a few slime things in training, I think with time I can get used to some things, but I'm leaving the combo extending to later, seems a bit hard to do while in match .

I'm really liking Jenny right now, I think her and Korra will be my mains.
Azula fits my other style that's a bit more aggressive so she'll likely be a character I like a lot too. And the Beavers are really interesting and Dagg nair reminds me of pichu in melee which I liked, I'd like to get more used to their assists but it seems very complex . Since you can use them even while doing other moves, it really opens the doors.

Got terminally addicted to the NASB2's campaign, it's very fun. It's a great way to adjust to a character and get used to their moveset for competitive online play.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Theres not a character thus far I dislike playing though I've put more time in some characters than others, right now I'm "maining" El Tigre and Ember, but Azula, Reptar, Danny, and Lucy are all really fun as well.

I'd like Gerald a lot more if his down special got a slight rework. I'd like to play more Jimmy but he feels kinda messy right now, same with Zim. Squidward is pretty fun too.

 

[Teeb147]

I wonder how the game will change up with patches over time

 

[Kirbeh]

I finally had the time to sit down and play for a little while. Mostly spent that time in training mode so I can't say anything about the campaign but as far as the core game feels goes, I feel like this is a huge improvement over NASB1.

I really like slime introducing meter mechanics, but I could honestly do without the supers. Not because I dislike having super moves but because the ones we got are pretty bad.

The only passable ones are Ren, Gerald, Reptar, Zim and maybe Lucy. And even then they need some work.

Didn't jump online yet either, but from what I'm hearing/reading it's probably best to wait for next patch.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Vindication at last

You know the best part about NASB1 being/feeling so different from NASB2? They're not mutually exclusive!

The first game isn't suddenly rendered irrelevant by the sequel coming out; it's entirely possible to run/enter events for the core gameplay that remains entirely its own

Chum Bucket worst? For me it's easily in the top 3 best, it really nails the vibe of a vilain's lab, but keeping the silliness you would expect from a Sponegebob song.

Just being the worst here doesn't mean I think it's bad, just that when I think about listening to the soundtrack I'd rather listen to other songs.

Uh Oh, someone accidently put on the censors.

 

[Nintykid]

Since we are on the topic of music, the campaign theme sound like something I would hear directly out of Smash or KH, with it's orchestral music and oddly serious tone (granted considering it's story is about saving different universes so it makes sense). Not a knock against the track, but just funny to think about.

Like why is there Kingdom Hearts track in my Nickelodeon game? Lol

If you just tilted it to be horizontal, it'd be canon accurate.

Anyway, I made a thing on the roster thread, wonder what you guys think

I don't think this series should ever have a roster larger than like, 45 at most, but screw it: 65 character NASB roster. Nothing with wacky legal issues like Doug, Catscratch, and FOP (otherwise I'd have Quailman, Judy Funnie, Jorgen, Cosmo & Wanda, and the Cats driving Gear. Would restrain from Dreamworks content even if they were on the table though, that should be reserved for its own game, or a full fledged Nick vs. DW rival game.) Opted to only go for one hyper-wacky pick with an unusual source material, who is placed right at the end.

1. Garfield (Garfield)
2. Odie
3. Michelangelo (TMNT '87)
4. April O'Neil
5. Tommy Pickles (Rugrats)

Ayyy it's Pigeon Man. That's a fun surprise.

All in all there are some really fun additions. Shame about Ember being cut, but besides that I can't really complain.

I would've kept Ember if I didn't put in Luna - I think Ember is a really cool pick, but I prefer Luna who would have a very similar moveset.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I overlooked the fact that you added Luna lol. That makes more sense.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I finished the campaign. It was a decent serviceable mode. The one thing that would help the mode a lot is more enemy variety, stickers, and different power-up characters to help with replay-ability. It kinda got tiring to see the same characters after the 4th run.

 

[Nintykid]

Honestly, I think both Ember and Luna can co-exist on the roster. While Ember relies on both her guitar and her ghostly powers, Luna has been seen to play multiple different instruments (drums, couple of horns here and there) to make a different moveset out of. So they can really set them apart if they wanted to

Even then, we're about to have three totally unique Firebenders. I'm sure they could come up with two Guitar based movesets if they wanted to.

Ember gets cut because of Tara Strong right

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Ember gets cut because of Tara Strong right

Every character she's ever played hasn't suddenly just been ruined by her ****ty behavior. Plenty of fantastic characters are played or voiced by awful people.

Besides, she can easily be recast. They did it with Ren, they did it with Rick and Morty, they did it with Bayonetta.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

Ember outclasses Luna in every way, with Ember in there's no real point of her. Use the trickster Loud House girl... whatever her name was.

 

[RileyXY1]

Speaking of TLH I wonder why the Loud Castle was even added to the game at all. TLH didn't get a newcomer and it even had a veteran cut so its mere existence in the game continues to baffle me.

I mean personally I feel like it was because the movie's recent and they were mandated to include something from it, especially if Lincoln wasn't coming back.

Probably already had it made before they realized they'd only have time to make one TLH character.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I don't really get the point of theorizing what characters were "almost in but cut", especially when there is literally no factual, non-pattern-based evidence for any character one way or the other

It’s just what personally makes sense to me.

Anyway, I’ve had some time with the game and I’m enjoying it! Campaign is fun but a little repetitive (and I’m really hoping the patch to let me use my presets in it comes quick). Actual battles are a lot of fun. It’s such an insane step up from the first game.

It’s also surreal after three years to finally get to play as Daggett Beaver in a platform fighter. What a journey.

Especially considering that the leaker's claims of "more stages than characters" turned out to be false unless you count a generic training mode stage as part of the stage roster. We have a stage with no character (Loud Castle) and a character with no stage (Gerald). Something's up here.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Technically, there are more unique stages than characters - there's the 25 default stages sans training (since it shares a layout with FD), and then the variant stages include layouts that don't exist in the main stagelist

1. Battlefield forms
2. Smashville forms
3. PS2 form Technodrome/Training (Kalos/Duck Duck Pie)
4. FD Form Rooftop (Hazoff Smashville)
5. Battlefield form Miracle City Volcano (PM Bowser's Castle)

That's 30 unique stages when you remove duplicate layouts.
