Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Bugs Me 

Y'all dont realize how sick a chalk zone rep would be

I don’t really understand the hatred for Garfield, All Star brawl doesn’t have to limit itself to just nick shows, it can use licensed characters, just like how smash bros is more than just Nintendo characters As for how Garfield isn’t absurd like the other reps - 1. Garfield in the animated show is as absurd as it gets, dude literally eats food in a microseconds, has toon logic (gets flattened by objects, changes face to mimic other people, etc) 2. this is the same game that has Lincoln Loud and Lucy Loud - Characters who focus is tackling life problems day to day, I don’t think it’s necessary for the game to have shows that follow a certain quota because then it limits itself 3 - As for how fighting doesn’t match his character - same thing as smash bros, why would peaceful characters like Wii Fit Trainer, Isabella, Villager fight people?? There’s no logic to hold someone behind - it’s a cartoon fighting game, it’s an all out brawl man lol 4 - Lastly, as for how garfield isn’t recognized as a nick character, fair enough, but again comparing to smash bros since they are similar, who asked for ice climbers when they first appeared?? Rob?? Game and Watch?? Technically Nintendo character but they haven’t seen the light of day since but all that really matters is if the game is having fun with what it has to offer

Your hatred for Garfield is completely unjustified.

But Garfield’s so funny 😢

Nick's lack of co-operation with this series seems pretty apparent to me, did you know that originally nick only wanted characters from the same show to be able to fight eachother? Yeah. Nick has always been the type to deem failures too soon and then barely acknowledge shows after theyre gone. (Unless they become an insane cult classic like zim) I really really do think none of the 2000s exclusions are the devs fault and its just nick being nick. Jenny and El Tigre being in, to me, shows the devs really do care about repping the 2000s, and are fighting tooth and nail to even get the tiniest scraps of it. Honestly i cant really get mad at this game knowing these devs are trying their best despite all odds, its an underdog story to me. Fairly OddParents is my favorite nick show but ive made peace that nick is gonna be too nick to negotiate with nelvana on the devs behalf. Im just happy with what is here. Also i like garfield

The devs for NASB are the same as a great Indie fighter called Slap City and have been pretty open about issues the game had with Nickelodeon during the first game. Apparently it was Nick's fault there were no alt costumes in the first game and the roster was so limited, so I imagine Nick is holding things back as far as characters in the game. They also mentioned the lack of single player modes in the first game as due to budget issues.

You don't disrespect my boy Garfield like that

14:43 apparently one of the devs really likes Tak so he may have a larger chance at getting in than other 2000s picks. Although I would personally really like to see some more 2010 reps, like Harvey Beaks or even Sanjay and Craig.

I honestly really wish Otis would appear, he appeared in the earliest Nick fighting games.

Apparently Jimmy Neutron had similar legal issues to FOP, that’s why Jimmy didn’t show up in crossover games until very recently. Nick could totally do the same for Timmy, they just don’t want to. At least in terms of console games, they’re weirdly able to bring Timmy back for mobile games. I’m guessing it’s a legal loophole or something

As someone who grew up in the 2010s, I'm very disappointed

I agree that they neglected 2000's characters alot in the first game. I think Aang is the contender for worst represented character in NASB 1. Like, he's the last airbender, and he's got... 1 airbending move, and it doesn't even blow or push people away. He was also lacking in the other elements, and mostly just swung his stick around with no bending. Korra also lacked proper bending, and with both Aang and Korra being Avatars for christ's sake, it's just so disappointing. My make or break for getting NASB 2 will be if Aang and Korra are properly represented this time, and I _do_ have _some_ hope after seeing their brief appearances in the reveal trailer for the game.

If they get Timmy, he’s definitely gonna be DLC

Ehhh I don’t mind Garfield cause I like him

I disagree with a lot here. The 2000s shows don't get repped as much because Nick doesn't care about them, it was only UNTIL NASB that shows like MLAATR and Jimmy Neutron finally started getting recognized by Nick that these properties are worth sinking money into, and I feel that's something that should be appreciated. Many shows from the 2000s are forgotten at this point by Nick, and if we want them in, simply just campaign for them. Hugh Neutron was added because of the fanbase, even the voice actor stated he wanted Hugh in, and do we really want to be mad at an inclusion that made him happy? Sure, him over Jimmy is weird, but the fanbase and voice actor genuinely wanted him and advocated hard for him, it isn't just memes. Garfield isn't absurd? You know he isn't exclusive to comics right? Garfield and Friends is extremely absurd, it would fit right at home on Nick if they ever aired it. Garfield is also a big moneymaker so of course they'd flaunt him. Not to mention there's a dev on the game who's made it very clear he's a huge Garfield fan, so I would NOT want to cut him. Gender diversity is great, but how cool a pick is is usually more important to me. Not that I'd mind more females than males or just a balanced mix of gender but it's not really something I care about. If the fighter works, I'm hyped. Simply getting the rights to FOP isn't as easy as you may think. I'm sure there's way more to it. I also feel you were way too aggressive about Garfield especially, all those f bombs lol Not to say your video ISN'T valid in your criticisms and I get where you were coming from, but some points I feel should've been looked at through other views, especially the 2000s representation. Just show more support for these shows. Miko and Otis ranked pretty high on a most wanted poll, and NASB1's DLC were entirely big most wanteds. So all you have to do to show Nick those shows are worth sinking money into is to keep advocating for them to get in. Devs always say to let your voice be heard by Nick.

I can understand the reasoning to be mad with Garfield’s inclusion, and I respect it. Here’s my two cents on the matter: Garfield is essentially a guest character on the roster. He’s able to get in because he’s now owned by Nickelodeon and Viacom, but since he hasn’t been owned for long, it makes him more sense to call him a guest fighter. Personally I love that he’s here, it’s the first time him and SpongeBob have ever been on the same screen together, that’s pretty historical stuff right there. Also, old Garfield cartoons did actually appear on Nickelodeon so he does have a little history with the network. Is he a Nicktoon? Absolutely not. But is he a good choice? Definitely. Garfield being in the same game as these characters can help give this game even more promotion. Just like the guest characters in Smash, I wouldn’t be surprised if people buy the game for the fact that Garfield is in it. That’s why they slap him on the cover. And when that animated movie with Chris Pratt comes out, you know his popularity will soar even more with the company Fairly Oddparents getting shafted though is rough bro 😭😭🤦‍♂️

I don't agree with this video one bit. All the characters that are in the first and 2nd game are deserved to be in here. And yes that includes Garfield and Hugh who you were WAY too harsh on. The fact that you gave TMNT a pass but not Garfield is total BS.

Honestly, I think Tak as he appeared in the Power of Juju videogames would be a fantastic choice for a new fighter! It's a shame the terrible show adaptation of the series really tainted the franchise and killed any momentum the fanbase had going

They left Arnold out because he's a pacifist but put in Rocko? Arnold and Rocko basically fill the same role. The mild mannered, voice of reason everyman in a wild, unforgiving, self-serving world. Arnold is just as likely to physically fight someone as Rocko and they both have an episode where they're actually good at it but decide it just isn't them in the end.

Anyone think Rango & Rattlesnake Jake should join?

I actually thought from the TN this would be clickbait, but instead I get a genuinely well made video with valid reasonings, good stuff, *I imagine they add Timmy’s dad over actual Timmy*

not the garfield slander. how can anyone hate him. disliking, leave him ALONE

here is my reasoning for Garfield mainly because of The Garfield Show, wich seems to be ironically popular, love to hate if you will and in that show he is more active than the comics so it is a TMNT situation Nick has 1 or 2 shows of the franchise, even though it didn't start there, makes it possible for the platform fighter

As a 2000’s kid, I do not only mind 90’s Nick reps, but also I favor it. Nickelodeon has never been bigger than in the 90’s and the 90’s Nicktoons are the definition of Nicktoons, so if we had gotten a Back at the Barnyard, Mighty B, Catscratch, and FOP reps the All-Star feel wouldn’t be there without all the 90’s cartoons. I hope Rocket Power comes in the DLC.

The imbalance in era representation is something that's frustrated me about the GameMill Nickelodeon crossover games for years and it's so refreshing to see someone else share the sentiment! There are so many good Nicktoon characters from the late 2000s onwards that absolutely deserve to be in these games!

Great vid, I’d like to see a mock up of the roster you’d like to see. Not sure if it should include cuts to what we have or if it should just add to the existing roster. But I agree, there should be at least 4 Fairly Odd Parents characters in this game, and the fact the number is 0 is wild.

So who's going to tell him that Grandma was a request by Nickelodeon

Snap from Chalk Zone Timmy from The Fairly Oddparents Miko from Glitch Techs Otis from Back at the Barnyard Those are my top choices for the 4 DLC characters.

The thing about FOP is that the show was aired on Disney XD on other regions. Maybe that's why FOP didn't show up in recent Nick games despite that Timmy appeared in a Nick tennis game recently. Still, I'm hoping for Timmy to show up in this game as DLC.

LuL he's mad over Garfello

Rocket Powwr premiered in 1999 just like SpongeBob and ended in 2004. So technically, it's a 2000's Show

I am gonna be real, I would take Gertie but not Gerald over Gerald but not Gertie; Gertie has demonstrated IN UNIVERSE that she can throw hands. Aside from that I would legitimately really like Timmy+Cosmo+Wanda, and out of any other FOP character I would LOVE to have Jorgen. Out of the other properties not in the game yet I'd legit be down for Snap, Bessie, and Tak. (Though tbh I'd rather have a version of Tak from the games pre-cartoon, as nitpicky as that is) Re: The Assist Trophy / Collectable thing, maybe the unrepped characters can somehow be present in the roguelite portion of the game? Either as powerups or interactive events or something, like Rudy drawing a health item for your character, or maybe Angelica deals damage to you trying to find Cynthia, or something.

Good video, even though it wasn't a big deal to me, I agree with your points about the lack of 2000-2010's shows representations in both games. And Timmy definitely should be in the game for sure, he's one of, if not the most deserving spot in the roster...

Garfield is love. Garfield is life.

Counter argument about your "Garfield shouldn't be in rant" while I do get your reasoning I think Garfield should be in more as like guess character but him saying why he's here is like saying why Sonic and Pac-Man are in smash bros as also speaking say Garfield doesn't fight cause he's lazy is saying Isabelle can't be in because she can't fight in animal crossing I'm not being rude but seriously you hating on Garfield on that is just ridiculous.

Garfield and Friends did air on Nick at some point in the 90s but that doesn't justify his inclusion

Background characters becoming assist trophies is an AMAZING IDEA

The reasons for a lot of the 2000s and 2010s shows not being in the game probably isn't due to the fact that they're pandering to the 90s, but due to the fact that most of the shows currently not represented are either very obscure or blantly not good at all. Sure as someone born in 2000, I did grow up with and loved catscratch, but even I have to admit that a show as obscure as that or the Xs absolutely do not hold up compared to something like catdog, angry beavers, or hey arnold in terms of legacy for nick. I especially feel this way towards the newer 2010 shows, which if you're just gonna add stuff like Bunsen is a Beast or Sanjay and Craig purely so they can add more 2010s characters, that feels like you're just adding them solely for representation and not based on them actually deserving the choice, because it's hard to find anyone who actually likes those shows because they're ass. Are there good choices for 2010s shows to be put in the game, like Harvey beaks, glitch chasers, and even Tuff Puppy? Sure, of course there are, but adding characters purely based on "this era doesn't have enough shows represented" is kind of shallow. That's why the 90s is so well represented, not only is it some of the most nostalgic characters, but also the most prolific as the 90s is unmatched for how many memorable and quality shows there were. The 2000s had fewer of them, but they were more household names and had longer lasting impact, so those shows like Danny Phantom, Avatar, and Jimmy Neutron having more characters from already represented shows to have similar numbers to the 90s makes tons of sense, because having a similar amount of characters to the 90s by only having 1 or 2 characters for Avatar and Jimmy Neutron and replacing them with characters from the Xs or catscratch is not really an accurate way to rep the 2000s. Would I love to have Mr blik or Otis in the game? Absolutely, but I get why they aren't. I don't think you should be so pessimistic towards the DLC, because most of the super requested 90s characters are already in the game, so now the focus would likely be on the requested 2000s characters. I could definitely see chalk zone, barnyard, Tak, and especially Fairly Odd Parents being DLC, and I don't think you should be really mad about that. Fairly Odd Parents is at an unfortunate legal issue, and I feel like spending budget for the base game to get him in the game instead of that money going into making the game better would be an unwise choice when spending money solely on the characters and not the game makes more sense to do it, especially considering he would be a great DLC pick as he's probably THE most requested character at the moment, it's why all the 3rd party characters for ultimate were DLC (except for castlevania). Does it suck that he isn't in the game right now? Yeah, it does, but just like how FoP was your Nick show, Jimmy Neutron was mine, and it getting represented in the DLC (also they chose my favorite character from it which was even better) felt really special. I understand feeling disappointed in a product you overall feel excited for, because while I love smash ultimate and it's roster, the DLC felt incredibly disappointing for me and I felt very alone on that, especially for all the people attacking me for it, that feeling is definitely valid even if you're in the minority, just try to put things in perspespective.

The fact my boy timmy isnt throwin hands with the angey beavers is a crime

Ehhhh. I don't think it's worth shoehorning less popular characters just to fill some arbitrary era quota. Like, are we going to seriously argue that The X's should get priority over something like Hey Arnold just because it was made in a different decade? The thing about the 2000s era is that Nickelodeon routinely canceled shit that wasn't performing the way SpongeBob was. As a result, most shows from that era just died out before they really built an audience. They ran for like 1 season, and went quickly forgotten. All the exceptions are essentially already here. Jimmy Neutron, Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, Avatar, and Teenage Robot. Yes, Fairly OddParents is a particularly glaring omission, but if we're willing to accept that ownership issues are a good enough reason to exclude Doug, then they're a good enough reason to exclude Timmy Turner too. Idk, I don't think this is a particular problem. The devs took more of a "greatest hits" approach. It's really the best they could do when pulling from so many decades of history. That said, I really like the idea of including some sort of collectible for the non-represented series. My mind immediately thought that instead of trophies, they could include things like sketches. Concept art, design references, or something like that. I think it would both fit the celebration of Nick as an animation studio and be something cool for fans to actually want to collect.

This feels a tad nitpicky to me imo. I think the DLC is going to iron out a lot of your issues, and even then I think we still dunno the roster. We gotta trust the vision! 😂

15:27 i agree, the lack of fop and Timmy in nasb it's bizzare but tbh im very optimistic that they might find a way to get the international rights from nelvana since the devs are 100% aware Timmy it's the most highly requested character now that jimmy, squidward and el tigre are in the sequel, and if you ask me he has to be one of the firts dlc characters to make hype for future newcomers (fun fact, there gonna add more dlc characters in the future). I got an idea on how they can reveal Timmy if they manage to get the rights from nelvana: the reveal will be showing gameplay footage of spongebob, danny phantom, jimmy neutron and then they reveal Timmy, this could work for a great reveal because it will be a callback to nicktoons unite and also a reference on how smash reveal pac-man in smash 4 showing gameplay footage of mario, sonic and megaman.

Idk if it's talked about in video but the reason F.O.P. characters rarely make appearances in cross over games now a days is because in some countries the show is aired on Disney...Nick probably dosen't want to tangle with them. Or at least that's the whispers I'm hearing.

I hope Zim’s moveset is realized more since as of now he’s the only rep for his show. Goddard opens up lot of possibilities for GIR and I think the Gnome should act like a sentry turret similar to the show which would kinda be a new fighting style for a platform fighter. I understand the Irken Pak legs is realistically how Zim would contend with all these other characters as he’s even used it for few combat scenarios in the show, but having it take up a lot of his moves comes off as uninspired at times when he’s just poking and stabbing 90% of match

Good vid 👍

I'm surprised you never covered Powdered Toast Man, because I'll be honest, he's possibly the most weird character that they included, heck, when they announced him, I didn't knew he existed, and I was surprised you had no issues with him

U made some good points about Garfield. It's odd to see him fighting but I guess I like him too much to care and he's mainly in because Thaddeus begged for him. And, I 100% agree with everything u said about Hugh. He just doesn't deserve to be here. If Jimmy came first...maybe. But, the fact that Hugh was put in over Jimmy left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't like the approach they went with not adding the main characters of some series people obviously wanted over the side characters they did put in. And, yes...us 2000's kids are sad. I feel ya. Great critique of this game. Really glad I found this video.

Chalk Zone and FOP are two IPs I would love to see in the game for sure. Angry Beavers is a great one too

Friendly reminder; there is a Garfield strip where he's so annoyed by a loud ice cream truck disturbing his sleep that he smashes the truck and in the next panel, the truck is folded like a futon

My two theories about Garfield being in here are as follows: A) He was a studio demand to flaunt the fact that Nickelodeon owns him. "Hey, look at this cool and wacky game, with SpongeBob, Ninja Turtles, and Garfield!" B) The devs are big fans of Garfield and added him because they had the right to. I dont know why or how it would be easier to get Garfield than The FairlyOdd Parents, but hey, it is what it is. I lean more towards B since I think the devs have way more control over the roster than any higher-ups. Either way, I don't actually mind his inclusion here. He's a really fun character, and I don't see why not since they own him.

I wish the roster was balanced with the eras. I'm still wishing for Timmy Turner to make it in the roster. I also want Tak to make the cut and base him on his appearence and personality from his first 3 games since those video games were better received than the show and because of nostalgia biases. I also found it odd that modern franchises were very underrepresented in this game since a lot of 2000s to early 2010s Nick crossover games roster highly prioritzed shows that were airing on the channel at the time. I almost thought Brendar from a short lived series called "The Barbarian and the Troll" (it's a great watch BTW) made the cut during the first game's silhouette leak, but it was April. I didn't mind Hugh's inclusion though. I find him as a fun character to play as.

> Doesn't like memes > Uses a pretty darn good one as the outro LMAO Tbf, you said what had to be said without insulting the devs and that's respectable. Solid take on the roster, Gertie just doesn't feel right, but everything else is good choices. I'm not surprised TMNT gets favoritism for reps as that's up there in terms of marketable profit just like Pokemon and Fire Emblem are to Smash Bros. -- same with Garfield, but I think of him as a sort of Solid Snake inclusion simply due to popularity. I am hopeful the leaks only show the starter roster and there is more new characters remaining as unlockable. The devs seem to be hyping the campaign for a reason which could end up being a parallel to Brawl's Subspace Emissary with cutscenes akin to the Nicktoons crossover games from the 2000s.

Completely valid but copyright is hard.

lmao @ the ember part i'm gonna be honest, I was very upset with the game for not acknowledging the 2000s shows as much, when mlaatr came, I was very complacent because it felt like the only character I really wanted, and afterwards I felt like I had nothing to complain about roster-wise outside of stating the weirder picks like ember and april. I think you're absolutely valid when you said "maybe me being upset stems from fairly odd parents not being represented", because I pretty much align there since mlaatr has a character. I have a big feeling that timmy is gonna be the final slot on the season pass, sorry man.

im gonna stay cautiously excited, it looks good but i see your points

Hugh was in by popular request, the devs. Care about there customers and community

I understand your criticism... but also (dolphins noise) you dude Garfield was an interesting weird pick

The 3 characters that I really want in is Otis, Timmy turner, and kitty katswell, they could all be fun, and if they're all dlc then I'm gonna be so hyped

14:14 does that mean we can potentially have biggie cheese in the roster 😂😂

I don't see why Nick shouldn't put Timmy in the game, considering the leaks showed Ember Mclain who is also voiced by Tara Strong who also voiced Timmy freaking Turner. Let's hope Timmy gets reunited with Spongebob, Jimmy and Danny someday!

if you watch Garfield do you know how many times he’s run or did acrobatics he does it a lot on his animated adventures he doesn’t do it in the comics because there’s a limited amount of room?(just saying I don’t want to start an argument I wanted to share my view point)

Why do you not have an issue with TMNT but do have an issue with Garfield when Garfield and Friends was a show that aired on NIck... Garfield and Friends is what he's based on.

It would be cool if we can have a Nick Smash Ultimate kind of thing where every Nicktoon is here. They probably don't have a budget for that though. Unless we have to wait for an All-Star Brawl 3 lol. Timmy needs to start showing up in the console games. It's weird that he's able to show up in the mobile games. I would love if he was playable in the Nickelodeon Kart Racers series. I wanna see Chincinatti and Fairy World become tracks. As for the Rugrats, I think Susie & Angelica would be nice to see. They did have a rivalry in the show. Them being in the game would sort of make up for the babies not being playable. The X's make a lot of sense to be in the game. They're a fucking spy family. Same with Tuff Puppy. A spy dog and a spy cat sounds great asf. I remember when the 1st game was announced and I made a post about them on the subreddit, the people in the subreddit thought the show was too obscure to show up. I also never understood the hype for Hugh either from the very beginning. I would rather see Sheen, Carl, and Cindy. They make more sense to me. Whenever I brought up Cindy in the subreddit they would say she would be a bad choice. I'm like how when she fights in the movie and show ? Idk why people act like Hugh was so important in Jimmy Neutron. You're right about Garfield though. It's weird how NASB fans hate the idea of Arnold being playable since he's a "pacifist", but we literally have one of the laziest cartoon characters in history in the roster. Garfield fighting doesn't necessarily make sense either, but he's here. NASB fans are a bit toxic to me lol. They want the whole roster to be filled with meme picks not knowing some of us just don't care for that shit.

I can’t be mad over the roster. The gameplay is more of a concern to me against the roster. Even as a 2000s kid, most of the important 2000 shows have representation and doubling down on more representation for the popular shows makes sense since that’s what sells the games.

It’s very refreshing to see someone with reasonable opinions on this travesty of a roster

Me wanting to see some new stuff would be cool but it's limited because of the era where nick strictly focused on live action shows a little too much that I thought cartoons on that channel were dead. All I could remember from the late era of Nicktoons were the previously mentioned Harvey Beaks, Breadwinners(which I would like to see happen even if not possibly realistic) and The Loud House, and only a couple were remembered through the years.

If I don't see the cow from back to the barnyard in any of the games, I would be pissed

I dont know the others, but with what they have revelaed till now i think that would be better if they give some kind of exclusive price for whoever bought the first game before the launch of this one or at least apply that for the ones who bought the DLCs cause this sequel seems to have the same characters now already unlocked and aparently with the same moveset

Henry and June from Kablam are 90's Nickelodeon characters we haven't seen since the 90's that should return.

What do you think the cutts characters from the roster and the DLC been leaked

I've seen two different RU-vidrs act like Gerald makes more sense as a representative that Gertie and that's honestly baffling to me. If you asked me to pick two Hey Arnold characters for a fighting game Helga and Gertie would absolutely be the top choices. I do agree that Fairly Oddparents should be in a game, but if rights issues are getting in the way, you can't really get mad at the devs for that. It's literally not their call to make

Worst part is they had Timmy turner in a Nickelodeon mobile tennis game that almost no one even knew about that was made a year ago💀💀💀

They CAN put Timmy in video games still. Last year, they released a crossover tennis game for the Apple Arcade on mobile (Apple Arcade games tend to be a lot more quality than the typical App Store game) and guess who added for free in the game’s last character update? It was his first appearance in a game in forever, but it proves that they can add him to games. They also aren’t adverse to him seeing as he also appeared in Nick’s official Roblox destination, the Nickverse (yes, it is as weird as it sounds) also in 2022. So… wtf Nick? Where is Timmy?

6:37 ooooo boy, this reminded of the 2009 Garfield Show (The 3D one that's so memable) I think that can kinda fit on Nickelodeon but i still see no reason for him to be here And I am a huge Garfield fan! At least make a original show nick and then justify his appearance XD.

As someone in their 30s, I'm absolutely thriving with this roster. Still, I'm surprised you didn't mention Mr. Meaty, cousin skeeter, As told by ginger, action league now or even cat scratch.

I want Tuesday X in this game as well as Otis and Parker J Cloud. I would even like Bunsen in and they would give more shows in.

garfield got promised a life-time supply of lasagna and cake and also gets to live in a 38 story mansion

I got over the “reps, reps, REPS!” Thing a while ago. At the end of the day, while Sakurai did put in some fan favorites, he was mostly focused for many years on adding whatever characters he thought were cool. Clearly this game was made by a bunch of 90s kids so of course they’re gonna add their favorites. It’s a little disappointing but it is what it is.

If They Wait Until Nick All Stars 3 To Add Timmy, Im Riot

I totally agree about the absence of the Fairy Odd Parents. Whenever I see Nickelodeon I always thought of Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom and Fairy Odd Parents. Those 4 for me and I'm sure many others helped make Nickelodeon what it was in the 2000s. But I disagree about the whole 90s get more representation than 2000s argument. Compared to 2010s the 90s were absolutely superior in every way. Seriously Chum Chum? What even is that? A drink? Back to the Barnyard? I didn't know that their was a cartoon beyond the movie.

bro has beef with Garfield

At some point their gonna run out of 90’s shows… right? RIGHT?! 😢

The exclusion of Fanboy & Chum Chum still blows my mind, I didn’t even watch it that much growing up they just seem perfect for this game

This video is incredibly true and real and based. I almost wholly agree with your opinions - they are valid. I don’t get why there are so many TMNT reps, Garfield is such a weird and nonsensical inclusion, and the meme picks are almost funny and almost work, but they’re just a (poor) distraction from all the characters/shows missing. Timmy is probably gonna be DLC, I bet we’re gonna see Rocket Power, we’re probably getting another meme pick, and hopefully a 2010s character, but who knows. Great vid!

I think Timmy might come as dlc or there might be some characters that didn’t appear on the linked image jimmy was even in a fairy odd parents special so having Timmy would be nice

**Short rant incoming** I agree with Danny phantom's movement not being very much. Like they didn't really show much love for him as he barely does have any of his cool move and abilities, he has like 14 different powers! He didn't even have his signature move the ghost ray. Instead he got a "phantasmol bolt" He also has some tail whip move that he's never done before and majority of his movest Is just the bare minimum. He mostly does the same move in different variations. He flies at you on the ground, he flies at you in the air, he flies in a circle and he flies down. Danny's ghostly wail is fine but it's pretty useless unless charged at full power which you will never be able to land in a million years on competitive. Along with the ghostly wail I feel that the devs should've given him Reptar's Special which charged fully is a freaking blast beam. Reptars never done that before until now. but the one character in the entire game (before Jenny arrived) who can sh%t out lasers- huge ones at that just doesn't get too?! And lastly For Pete's sake his forward strong Is THE FENTON THERMOS a tool ONLY used for capturing ghost! How it functioned in the game didn't even make sense! I really hope they show better care for his movement in this game bc so far he still has the tail whip move..

Having roster cuts can sting hard…really hard, also you would’ve mentioned the possibility of 3rd party characters being included!!

You gotta remember that nick puts in characters that they want to see. Thats why 90s and stuff is so pushed because they know the market.

Nelvana owns the first season of timmy turner that was aired on Disney.

Garfield is INCREDIBLY popular and draws in a lot of attention especially for a fighting game of all things. And I somewhat agree with the lack of 2000s - 2010 reps, but Nick in the 90s is what's popular. I mean every nick hoodie you see out in public is always with 90s characters. However I do believe you gave some good ideas for characters they should add, I would like to see u delve deeper into that and maybe make some mock movesets. Overall, I see your dislike to like ratio is almost 50/50 and that's how I feel about this video. I can agree with about half of it

Timmy w/ Wanda and Cosmo, Vicky and Crimson Chin would be perfect trio reps of the game

Have you thought of comparing online nick brawl with console nick brawl? I agree there’s so many great shows to choose from and it’s who makes us more money. V.s. Who was on the network. A 2D vs 3D starline, breadwinners, the Wayne,even the penguins of Madagascar. Though I’m surprised they didn’t add someone from big Nate or smurfs yet.

I understand your critiques with NASB1 and 2 completely here. I myself am a 2000's kid and do feel underwhelmed how 90's kids are getting themselves a 5 star dinner meal, while the 2000's kids feel like they get themselves a fast food meal (and the 2010's kids getting like a snack from the convenient store there). I think it's because of Nickelodeon trying to win back the crowd from the 90's kids by having an abundance of merch and video game representation these days, I think they're slowly but surely getting to use 2000's kids though. I see SpongeBob and TMNT as leagues of their own considering how big they are, but of course I am more fond of the former. I was also a tad bit salty that Hugh got in NASB1 over Jimmy thanks to the internet, but I was still glad they represented the show. Jimmy Neutron is the most fond 2000's Nicktoon to me and I was indeed happy to see Jimmy actually in the sequel, but it makes me hungry for more from that show. I would love to see Carl, Sheen, and Ultra Lord as more playable Jimmy Neutron reps. With the other 2000s shows we have, I never grew up with Zim, MLAATR and El Tigre too much, but I did watch some episodes here and there. Honestly I never liked Danny Phantom that much as a kid, wasn't a huge fan of the tone of the show. I enjoyed Avatar too, but it isn't exactly an all time favorite for me. For 2000s cartoons not represented yet, I want to see Barnyard and FOP in there at some point. Barnyard is my second favorite Nicktoon next to Jimmy Neutron, but FOP rightfully deserves to be in this game because of how long it went for and all the memories it gave us. If NASB2 has a bigger budget than the first one, I hope they can go above and beyond by giving us the average boy that no one understands. The other 2010s Nicktoons aren't as remembered or fond of to many due to most of us getting older and moving on from that stuff (and how we mostly stuck with SpongeBob during those years), but more representation from that era would be nice. It surprises me how Nickelodeon hasn't taken the opportunity to plug a new Nicktoon by putting representation from it into any of the GameMill era games (technically they did that with JoJo Siwa, but that's a live action thing and we probably won't see representation from that anytime soon). Regardless, I am getting the game too because I want to show more support to the devs and take the time to appreciate what possible wonders could be inside the next game.

2:49 You lost some credibility there. "Gender Diversity" picks shouldn't be prioritized over characters that are more important and essential for an "All-Star" game like this. There are plenty of (mostly Asian) games with mostly or all-female playable characters yet hardly anyone complains about those. Also, it's wild to see you downplay Zim's villainy like that. The guy wants to conquer Earth and enslave the human race. Plus, he's a mass murderer who at one point stole people's organs. CatDog, The Wild Thornberrys and Rocket Power are barely 90's shows. Especially Rocket Power, which premiered August 1999 and ended in 2004. Other than that I agree with you. You made a lot of good points. I'm blaming Nickelodeon themselves for rushing Ludosity to develop the game so fast and release it too soon for a quick buck. Still, I hope NASB2 is successful enough to get a third game. That would give them an even bigger budget.

well this is starting to age like spoiled milk (at least the representative argument as we are getting jimmy and el tigre)

I grew up in the 90s 00s era, so I appreciate characters from both eras... but yea, the 00s just miss a lot of heavy hitters. Especially the Fairly OddParents, seeing as he was a main character in the Nicktoons trilogy. Timmy, Vicky and Crocker are such shoe-ins for the game. Hell, add Calamitous or Beautiful Gorgeous (for the fem rep) and you got the Syndicate of Evil in as well. I don't care for the turtles or Garfield as they still don't feel like Nick to me. For me they are just taking up space. Weirdly Rocket Power was one of the shows I wanted to get in from the start, with Reggie as a rep, so funny it is the only one left. But definately characters like Rudy, Bessie and Tak would be nice to have, they have so much potential for a good moveset. Instead of searching for reference moves in characters like Oblina.

so my man doesn't know how scary arnolds grandma is I've seen hey Arnold I've seen the wackiness and I honestly cant wait to main her

Honestly, calling CatDog, Wild Thornberries and Rocket Power “90s shows” is kinda stretching, considering they began during the tail end of the 90s and lived most of their lives in the 2000s. 90s Nick merchandise has kinda made it seem like these were primarily 90s shows when they really weren’t. Also with Catscratch, I believe the reason they aren’t doing that is because the characters aren’t completely owned by Nick, as the show was based on a comic. I can see them getting the rights for a big show like FOP, but Catscratch is so niche I don’t think they’d go through legal troubles just to put it in the game. Which does make me sad as I really want them in.

Aside from being blatantly wrong about hugh neutron, the best character in the first game, and garfeild, I can kind of see the points for it, cus it seems like they really are just wanking off the 90s but then again the 90s were the best era of nickelodeon, coming from someone who grew up with the 2000s and whose favorite nick show is danny phantom. Them not doing much with the 2000s and 2010s i feel is also symbolic of nick barely doing anything with their shows in those eras aside from spongebob, that just may be me though. I personally don't see anything wrong with the roster, the best 2000s shows are represented anyway, the rest are kind of mid aside from fairly off parents but that show also fell off hard in the 2010s That being said, timmy ain't never leaving that vault, he's gonna be cryogenically frozen forever while nickelodeon and whoever owns his rights fight to the death forever

Leonardo and Michelangelo were already shown to return in NASB2
