Fair Play Labs dev here!! We are the main developers of the game! A studio located in Costa Rica! Thank you so much for the possitive comments and lovely reaction! And as a big fan of your content for a long time (love your FF7 videos man) this really warms my heart (and the one of a lot of my coworkers that are also fans of you). BTW, Squidward jank ahh hitbox meme is a light attack!

[@awesomebacon1075]

Hell yeah! You guys did it!

[@user-eb3zu5wn8b]

Best game and idea of this generation. Please don't stop updating and supporting this game I don't think the studio realizes what they've created and accomplished

[@Boonehams]

Animator here! I took care of Lucy Loud and grandma Gertie animations. I was honestly scared the game wouldn't do that well but I'm pleasantly impressed for how things turned out!

[@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy]

Yeah but still room for improvement rn

[@Scyclo]

It's amazing what giving a dev team extra budget and time can do for a game don't you think

[@aliciafraser1835]

A lot still feels super low budget though. They got the voice actors but they sound phoned in, and often don't sync with or even match the animation. A lot of the animations and characters still look pretty low budget too. Not that I think either game is bad, they're just super rough.

It's cool that Nick All-Star Brawl turned things around, but the big question is will the audience support it after how poorly the first game did?

[@JojoDigitalArtist]

For a bit but it will probably not have a long life cause Melee players will always go back to melee no matter what.

[@Mikedot]

Critically: the first game was a failure to the competitive/core audience due to how unpolished/unfinished it was. But financially: the first game was a success because of how low the budget was, allowing for a massive return on revenue, since a lot of parents bought the game for their kids, and the publisher kept introducing the game to new markets over the span of its lifetime. While I don't have hard numbers, a KZbinr named Nick Brawl Guy had a very good assessment of how well the game did, sales wise. That being said: I think this sequel will do way better since it is way more polished, has deeper gameplay mechanics, has lots more content overall and is being sold not at full price ($50 USD instead of $70)

[@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot]

Nope, got burned on the first one. Not paying another $50 (still a ridiculous price) for what the first game should have been. And $50 is still steep for what's there anyway.

[@rickflorida3838]

As a 3d modeler, It's very challenging to make a 2d character look really good in 3d. I made a timmy turner that looked awesome. but when you turned it around it was tough to get a 360 view And still have it look authentic. Theses guys really did it, each character looks true to their individual shows. Just seeing gir, the time ghost, and jennys mom. It gave me so much nostalgia by the way they modeled the characters and handled their animations. they are all spot on. I'm so impressed this looks like a must buy.

[@Substantial-hf1rm]

Very true, it's insane someone as stylized as El Tigre actually looks good in 3d.

[@bobdenvermoreawesome]

makes me think of the jimmy timmy power hour cross over and whenever timmy went to jimmys world he looked so off lol

[@EddiePReacts]

A Smash Rougelite is actually an ingenious idea. That just fits naturally into what Smash does already, I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been done before until now.

[@dylansmith5206]

Speaking Of Smash And Nick All Stars I still hope that Nick All Star Brawl 2 adds in Sonic And Ryu From Street Fighter As Guest Fighters Since The 1st Sonic Film aired on Nickelodeon And Street Fighter and TMNT did 2 crossovers not too long ago

[@dictionarygoat9156]

Watching Max tell a joke from Spongebob from memory was adorable

[@themagicconch842]

That’s certainly one way to describe it.

[@PhantomHalf]

You can tell the first one was made by a group of people that knew the game could be good but were given a shoe string budget to “prove” themselves and now they got the budget they need to make the game they actually wanted to make.

[@spongebobfan78]

24:53 You know you've watched so much SpongeBob when you can identify what Max was describing. For those who don't know, it's from Krusty Towers. Squidward wanted cookies that are similar to what his mom used to make (he was abusing the policy of Krab's hotel, which is basically "do whatever the customer requests"). SpongeBob and Krabs go to the place of Squidward's mom dressed as robbers. The mom gasps and cuts into Krabs trying to stuff a large sack onto the trunk. SpongeBob assists by beating the sack with a shovel. After giving up, Squidward's mom appears and successfully closes the trunk. Krabs was glad that they were finally able to put the _cooking equipment_ on the trunk, with the mom excited to make the cookies.

[@unskilledgamer3642]

You could feel how slowly started dropping at season 4, but Krusty Towers was an episode that was still good.

Dude at 0:52 is El Tigre. A kid with a magic belt that turns him into a costumed superhero that doesn't know if he should become a hero like his father or a villain like his grandfather. It was a fun and cool cartoon, and it's a treat seeing him here.

Okay, so it's his original voice, but they forgot to pitch it up. Interesting. I'm a huge fan of the passive characters. Particularly Nora. She's an underrated character. Basically Dexter if he was an old woman. Truly fantastic that she's here in full display. Can't wait to see how she interacts with Jenny.

[@gioanysgonzalez3396]

Personally the game is really fun and glad they’re making the game feel more unique thanks to the Slime mechanic rather than just making melee but with Nick characters. Plus thanks to having the Nickelodeon license, They have a ton of iconic shows they can uses for their roster. Heck if they wanted to, they can even bring back some of the older characters like CatDog and Toph as DLC characters so people can have their old mains back. I mean ToastMan and Jimmy’s Dad who are from the original roster are technically already in the game but as NPC and they’re even making Mr. Krab a DLC character despite him being in the background so I think the possibility are endless.

[@dylansmith5206]

Speaking of Toph Still hope that the game adds in these Avatar Characters Katara Sokka Jet Suki Avatar Roku Avatar Kyoshi King Bumi Admiral Zhao Fire Lord Ozai Ty Lee Mai Ect................................

Zim's Stage/Theme is insanely good. I'm really surprised by how much they've improved

[@CrossfacePanda]

On that last point in the video, Smash actually had a multiplayer roguelite of sorts in the 3DS version of Smash 4 called ”Smash Run”, and imo it’s the most underrated mode Smash ever had. It was essentially City Trial from Kirby Air Ride but adopted for Smash. I wad always hoping that it would get expanded upon as a single player mode in Ultimate, with multiple paths, endings, more meaningful upgrades etc, but sadly that never happened. World of Light just wasn’t the same.

[@Charlie_Xmas]

ohhhh man! I forgot about that! that was hella fun!
