It's a rare thing when a cartoon-based video game gets as much buzz as Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has thus far. While they can often be seen as mediocre tie-ins similar to the comic book film tie-ins from years ago, Nickelodeon has shown a surprising amount of consistency with the quality of its games. Developers Ludosity and Fair Play Lab already look like they've done a great job at recreating some of Nickelodeon's most beloved characters , so now it will just be a matter of sticking the landing with the game's rele

Of the three initial Nicktoons, Ren & Stimpy _ had the shortest run and was cancelled in 1996, likely because of its multitude of controversies. _Ren & Stimpy _ had a short-lived, widely panned 2003 iteration on SpikeTV called _Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon _ which was, as the titled suggests, explicitly for adults. _Ren & Stimpy _ has a fascinating, yet troubled, history for a fascinating, troubled show. But its mark upon animation cannot be ignored, and it's readily apparent in shows like _SpongeBob SquarePants that have gotten games of their own. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Ren & Stimpy _ paved the way for adult cartoons like _Beavis and Butt-Head and South Park , eit

Unlike the characters, the stages weren't exactly confirmed. In fact, some of the stages appear to be shifting, which could mean that one stage turns into another while fighting on it. That said, there are a few stages that were relatively easy to pick out in the trai

Of all the current roster omissions, Squidward might be the most glaringly obvious. Even as Patrick Star is getting a spin-off , Squidward might be the most recognizable character in the entire show next to SpongeBob himself, mostly due to his popularity in meme culture. Also, his character seems to have a fairly easy background to twist into a fighting game kit. He's constantly seen with either a paintbrush or a clarinet, and both could be fashioned into formidable weapons within Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Stars Maps|Https://Brawlstarsfans.Com/ . Plus, like the famous fighting game character Goro, he has 6 limbs, which makes Squidward an excellent candidate for some interesting basic attacks and grappling mo

While Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's release trailer gave fans a quick peek at the game, it also confirmed a handful of characters — 14 in total — that will feature. While the initial roster is fairly star-studded, there are a few contenders that are conspicuously missing. Even though fans should expect that the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise will likely have the most characters in the game, the inclusion of Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, and SpongeBob points to a willingness to include multiple characters from one franchise. As such, even though we currently only have Helga confirmed from the Hey Arnold! series, it's likely that fans can expect Arnold himself. Regardless, there are a few more characters who stand out as obvious choices for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's ros

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's confirmed list of characters is certainly something to get excited about, but there's also potential for so many other characters to make an appearance. The game has over twenty years of Nickelodeon history to draw on, and there are dozens of Nickelodeon characters that could still show up . Some fans are already pointing out some surprising omissions from the first trailer, such as Timmy Turner from Fairly OddParents , and Jenny Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot . While it's entirely possible that more characters like these could be revealed in the future, it would be a shame if that potential wasn't fully reali

Powdered Toast Man was a television superhero and spokesperson for Powdered Toast, a delicious breakfast which tastes "just like sawdust." He flies backwards. He can turn into Powdered Toast dust. He can shoot raisins out of his mouth at dangerous speeds. He has a phone on his tongue which alerts him to danger. His alter-ego is Pastor Toastman, a "cool youth deacon." Powdered Toast Man appeared in two in-show commercial segments before getting his own full, self-titled episode. In "Powdered Toast Man," the hero saves The Pope, voiced by legendary musician Frank Zappa. In short, the role Powdered Toast Man plays in Ren & Stimpy _ __ - long before getting brought into _Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - is comparable to Mermaid Man in SpongeBob SquarePan

The worst part of the pad, and this is by a pretty long shot, is the D-pad. Complicated directional inputs, particularly the "Z" motion (dragon uppercut) and half circle inputs, don’t seem to come out all the time. This is crucial in tight spots. For example, in MVC3 , after using a hard knockdown attack in the air with Viper, you must quickly land near your opponent and input HCB+AA to use her super which will carry her opponent off the ground and set them up for further devastation. I regularly use this combo with both a standard 360 controller and a standard PS3 controller. Although I tried many times, I could absolutely never pull it off on the Brawl
