Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Underrated Characters Fans Want

At this point, their entire marketing campaign for the game is based around the similarities to the Smash franchise anyway, so maybe they should just double down on it and include Nickelodeon off-brand Smash Bros reference characters in their already-quite-large roster.


Those looking for another high quality platform fighter can look no further than Rivals of Aether . This 2D fighter features animal champions from four elemental factions (along with Ori and Shovel Knight guest characters), and again sports a roster full of diverse characters and playstyles. This title has interesting modes like the randomized challenges in Abyss Mode, the more casual Tetherball minigame, and Abyss Versus, which will let players take their custom builds into battle with frie

"Artie, the Strongest Man... in the World!" Living in what appears to be a porta-potty but still doing what he can to help children, Artie is definitely a bizarre superhero. While he leaves many questions unanswered and his true power is unknown, he would definitely make a great inclusion in this game.


The game got big enough for the developer to be acquired by Ubisoft in 2018, and has since participated in many crossover events with video game and TV properties. Brawlhalla isn't the most complex platform fighter, with movesets being limited compared to the average platform fighter. Still, because every character in the massive cast plays just a bit differently, and any potential player will surely be able to find their preferred way to pl

Man Ray could play similarly to Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros. Incredibly fast, lots of combo potential but with very few ranged abilities. Perhaps, too, the developers will be able to bring in other Mermaid Man and Barnacle favorites, like the Dirty Bubble.

Lastly, Pat here's Tweet about the lobby system of All-Stars brawl Stars esports is another in-joke for fighting game fans. Of course, even a casual fighting game player could piece this joke together, but the audience who has played games made by Arc System Works like Dragon Ball FigherZ or Guilty Gear Strive with weird lobby systems will understand this joke on a deeper level.

Well, this joke by Luross plays with that idea and talks about how quickly a lot of the Smash Ultimate community would realistically leave Smash for All-Stars Brawl if their promises of rollback netcode turn out to be true. And, since Sakurai already confirmed this next DLC character is the last, nows as good a time as any to hop onto the next bandwagon.

It would be massive oversight to only include one or two characters from a given, beloved series. The trailer seems to show off some of the main, more recognizable characters from the Nickelodeon universe, however, the trailer might just be hinting at others to unlock. At certain points in the trailer, you can see a silhouette in the background of a character just watching the match.

Nickelodeon viewers who grew up watching the early-morning Noggin block will remember this moose and bird duo. Acting as a teacher of sorts to the viewers, Moose would ask questions while Zee would communicate with various blinks.


Donnie can move around the stage with a recklessness that can go unmatched thanks to his animalistic upbringing. He can jump around or maybe even swing around on vines for some of his attacks, or call on some animals to assist him with some wild attacks

But, the dream scenario most fans are probably hoping for is that they'll remix many of the iconic songs from these shows into full tracks similar to how Smash did. We'd love to see a version of "Icky Vicky" from Fairly Odd Parents tailored to a fighting game or even a different rendition of "Gooby Goober" from the first Spongebob movie.


One of its biggest unique traits is that it supports eight-player matches like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate itself. While Roof Rage isn't a bastion of platform fighter innovation like Indie Pogo or King of the Hat might be, it's definitely a platform fighting game hidden gem and worth looking i

This wisecracking blue mouse lives in a hole in the wall of the titular CatDog's abode. While small, he definitely knows how to hold his own, thanks to his tough, streetwise attitude. He’s also known to crack wise with his housemates.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy’s arch-nemesis definitely deserve a spot on the roster. It has already been confirmed that Ren and Stimpy’s Powdered Toast Man is in the game, so seeing another superhero-style fighter would be brilliant.

For example, the Manhattan stage from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is shown quite a bit throughout the trailer. While it doesn't specifically show different variations, it could be a more hidden or nuanced feature that only happens during certain matches. Dynamic stages could make each subsequent match more exciting and varied.


An early entrant to the Nicktoons universe, Rocko's Modern Life is one of the zaniest shows Nickelodeon has ever made , having a wide range of wacky characters it introduced to fans. The show's popularity has strong enough that it should have a character on this roster, and Rocko is the prime candidate h
