SpongeBob's Plankton Joins The Battle In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2

This confirms the leak.

LOL that's definitely one way to improve the game - giving every character Cloud's Limit Gauge.

This game looks already very polished and fun, especially compared to how the original game launched, but I will reiterate what I've said in previous articles - I'll be waiting for the Gold Version that includes all of the inevitable DLC content.

Pretty much confirms the leak. Which I'm down for, some really interesting names in there.

Is kind of a shame when the game's coming out though. I'm hyped for it but between Mario Wonder and Spider-Man that's already a packed week.

Wow, Plankton is going through extreme measures to get the krabby patty formula.

This game is looking really, really good. I'm very excited. Glad Nickelodeon is giving the devs the budget they deserve to make something truly special. They're definitely leaning more closely into "Smash clone" territory (rolls, shields, charging attacks) but that's fine with me. Smash's core gameplay is already great; just give me that but with characters from different properties and I'm happy.

i like how a lot of the improvements take ques from smash, which isnt a bad thing at all. smash has always been good at the "easy to learn, hard to master" mindset

the slime meter is such a cool idea. clouds limit gauge has always been one of the more simple yet effective gimmicks in smash, and having it also influence your combos is very interesting

Of course plankton is in, and he shouldn’t be underestimated, because he went to college!

Seriously though this game looks so fun and much more polished, This looks like the game they wanted to make but couldn’t, I’m glad they got the second chance!

I’m still cautious, but so far my worries have almost been removed entirely!

Plankton in a robot suit? Aww, he should have just been incredibly tiny instead.

...yes I know that would be a nightmare to balance lol

Fix the dam button mechanics and I'll buy it. The first one felt super simple and gimped.

@JohnnyMind were did you hear that the fighting mechanics have changed? I simply could not enjoy myself with the simplistic button attacks they had in the first. If this one is more smash like and less gimped compared to the first. I can't wait to try it!

I’m onboard with this one, it does look like quite an improvement to the first which I liked. I’m waiting to see how all the new modes are tho because the first one didn’t last me as long because it was a little light.

It was honestly only a matter of time. I can just imagine the cool move set Plankton could have considering all the wacky escapades he gets up to in the show.

Only Mr. Krabs is now missing. If he will be playable, we now have all mayor SpongeBob character sin the game.

Finally the game plays like a competent platform brawler! There's no shame in outright borrowing from Smash just as countless 2D fighters borrowed from Street Fighter 2. Don't fix what's not broken.

I have 100% achievements: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (Steam version)

I´ll do it again playing Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

Getting some Street Fighter X Tekken Pac-Man vibes from Plankton. To be fair, it makes a lot more sense for him to be in a mech, given his tiny stature. Not sure why Pac-Man needed one, since he would eventually prove he can be a capable fighter without it.

So it looks like the gameplay is closing in to Smash bros with a bit of Mortal Kombat 10/Street Fighter 6 meter mechanics. There is a few things that aren't mentioned like is the universal cargo grabbing mechanics returned? Is final sma..ahem Super Attacks balanced for tourney play or do you lose meter upon death? Is the air strong attacks still here? I would've put the super attacks into a separate meter. I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Much better than the original due to the mere fact that the RPS mechanic is gone as it was too situational and luck based, you have better chances at recovering/surviving and more movement mechanics if you're willing to burn meter (The Street fighter 6 meter mechanic by itself is an awesome idea. I'm gushing.), the dash attack cancelling mechanic is (hopefully) gone and is turned into the roman cancel and the cancel by itself stales moves so this isn't a win button and there's FINAL SMASHES!

50% SEA... 50% WEED.

@KayFiOS holy that is the smoothest gif I’ve ever seen

Hopefully they make this shine so that they can try again at a Kart Racer. The third one had potential, but what is the use if a lot of your content is locked behind online play when online is pretty much dead.

Really cool, now we just need the Crab! Man, I hope NASB2 is much better than the first. Based on the trailers and information we have it looks like it's shaping up well and has a lot of improvements. Definitely gonna buy this at some point!
