Finding the many references for Garfield in Nickelodeon All Star Brawl

If I worked hard enough I could've had this uploaded yesterday, but I didn't want to upload it on Monday. Can't thank the devs enough for doing my favorite cartoon character so much justice and being a fun character to play as.

Thaddeus is a Garfield fan so no surprise that he put his heart and soul into this character

[@BlazetheCat130]

I love playing Garfield in this game. He's super fun and he has a really solid moveset! He's easily ranks as one of my top mains in the game so far!

[@fruitlion8]

Props to them. They appealed to the fans and history, not the memes.

[@Yipper64]

The meme appeal was going to be there either way. I mean yeah they could have done some gorefield stuff but it wouldnt really fit...

[@ED-gw9rg]

​@Yipper64 Garfield's too lazy to reveal any of his actual powers. Being an eldritch abomination isn't as nice as napping in a sunbeam, y'know!

[@hank2815]

I’d like to point out that the pie move COULD be a reference to one of his special attacks in the mobile game Garfield’s Defence 2 where he throws a pie in the same way and direction.

[@thisisasupersayin376]

Also probably a refrence to "Splut Week", an event that's happened a couple times where an entire week of strips would be dedicated to Garfield getting Splutted by pies

Garfield is super fun in this game. Even though it’s not a reference, I love that he basically has Kirby’s down air. Still hoping for Timmy, Jimmy, Jenny, El Tigre, Tak and Miko for possible DLC down the line

Hopefully the support for Timmy, Jimmy, Jenny, and El Tigre get them into the game.

A Final Boss Fight for the end of Arcade Mode (Give Me Shirley From Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3 Or Mawgu From Nicktoons Battle For Volcano Island). Some items that aren't over powered like the items in Smash Ultimate. Some more costumes. Some stages based on the Nickelodeon Game Shows Like Legends Of Hidden Temple, Guts, And Figure It Out. Plus the original version of Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida from the 90's. Some Single Player Modes that resemble the modes in Smash. Some Voice Acting. And characters like Rocko, Steve And Blue From Blues Clues, Spider-Man As A Guest Character, And A New Avatar Character like Azula Or Sokka. Give me any of that and I will be a happy man.

Now that there’s official voice acting coming soon, I’m curious to hear who will voice Garfield in English. Fun fact: I met Gerard Surugue as Bugs Bunny and Garfield’s French voice so they are both in their own fighting game now.

[@cjszero01]

I would love it if they got the audio from Lorenzo Music. Otherwise... blow the rest of the budget on having Chris Pratt voice him in the game too. :)

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@cjszero01 2:38: I know you think Garfield's lips moving when talking is weird, but I think I have an explanation about this. It's most likely based on an archaic film-making decision, in which they either stuff peanut butter in an animal's mouth to give the illusion that they talk in film, or they simply don't do that and just film the animals on the screen while dubbing over the character shots. Two examples of the latter I can think of would be from Disney: "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey", and "The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story". Although those movies were after Garfield existed, it's possible this concept was made before Garfield made his debut in the Pendelton Times. Now, Garfield speaking with a movable mouth would come off as weird, but I say it's even weirder when Garfield is paired off with a couple of animal characters that didn't follow this guideline; not just Orson's Farm as a whole (although it's more of a different universe altogether), but I'm sure there some Garfield-specific animal characters in Garfield and Friends that talk with moving lips (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4ioeZeagJibgJY). If anything, having Garfield and his other friends in the Garfield-verse discarding this guideline would've made it less problematic. As for why "the Garfield Show" has Garfield saying they can't understand him, it's possible they were originally gonna have "The Garfield Show" animated with the guideline done halfway (thoughts when he's around human characters like Jon, but speaks with his mouth when around other animal characters). If they were to go the direction of the test pilot, the "You can't understand me" excuse would've been understandable, but because they didn't do that, it comes off as pointless.

[@GuineaPigDan]

I thought Garfield’s neutral air with his arms and legs stretched out was supposed to resemble a Garfield suction cup doll. I didn’t know he grows saber tooth teeth during his get-up animation though. It goes too fast for me to notice.

[@cjszero01]

I thought that too with the neutral air attack but the way the mouth looks like he's screaming made me re-think that.

[@acmeanvil3022]

Garfield is one of the best character designs in the game, up there with CatDog and Lucy Loud in terms of my favourites. The character I hope to get in the most is Miko Kubota from Glitch Techs. The show is perfect for video game tie-ins and it really deserves more attention.

[@saltbaker8683]

These we're truly clever references that shuck In a few good references here and there. I was excepting some of his movement to borrow from either the video games or cute callbacks to Garfield & Friends. Real missed opportunity to fight outside and Inside Jon's House though, but this stage Is truly a delight and makes me crave lasagna even more, (but only on Tuesdays-Sundays)

[@cjszero01]

I worry Jon's stage might have been another walk off stage. I was very happy to see that they pulled from both the comics and the cartoon show for his moves.

[@OfficialCyaned]

Growing up reading several books and books of Garfield comics, I really appreciate these referances.

[@LucarioSmash246]

Every time I would get up in the morning and my parents got the paper, I would always read the Garfield comics first before looking at the others

[@CJ-ln5ov]

I absolutely love Garfield in this game, I’m all for the unconventional characters, and I loved watching The Garfield Show growing up. Guess that explains why talking instead of thinking doesn’t bother me. Also, I have a nostalgic tie to that Final Boss theme from that Garfield Genesis game thanks to you.

I can't believe you are still going after so long. Your top 10 dkc tropical freeze video holds up very well

[@SirBopALot]

Wonderful video! You’re definitely a true Garfield fan! If you don’t mind me helping out, since you made this video before the voice acting patch, here’s something I noticed, as i frequently play as Garfield in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl: One of his quotes when he enters the battlefield can be “Ladies and gentlemen, it is I, Garfield,” which has got to be a reference to Garfield and Friends, as the narrator for that show would say “Ladies and gentlemen, Garfield and Friends,” at the beginning of every episode. As a little bit of trivia for you and many others, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl marks Garfield’s first appearance in a piece of Nickelodeon media in general. Anyway, once again, you did an awesome job with this video, down to every single little detail! 👍🏻

[@TheLeetCasualGamer]

Garfield is a lot of fun I already like having both Ren &, Stimpy and Catdog. But if Rocko gets added in, my wishlist is complete.

[@cjszero01]

Rocko seems very likely considering the items we found in the datamine.

[@ShinyMew112]

okay. completely unrelated. but GOD i clicked on the video... not thinking much... but then got hit by a wave of nostalgia due to hearing your voice! it had been like.... about 10-11 years since i last heard it and its crazy to think that much time has passed and your STILL making videos. i think my favorite of yours was.... your easter eggs video from so long ago! god its been so many years.

[@redmandudebol]

Garfield honestly makes rhis game so much better

[@dizavo]

in orange and black (garfield show with the sabertooth refrence) its halloween and garfield is saying (or thinking its wierd) that the more scary the coustume is the more candy he will get, and just so happens some zoo animal (you see it in the title card) escaped the zoo and is VERY dangerous, so he grabs a teddy seal's teeth from the basement and paints black on him, and scares the locals, ending up in the zoo after all of them call animal control, the zoo animal also got in jon's house, and when garfield escapes, there already running from it, he end's up getting caught and back in the zoo

[@FluffalKyurem]

My top pick for a character is still XJ9.

[@danielsrantsnreviews9198]

This man sounds like he could be an official Nickelodeon announcer.

[@spacesoccercowboy6091]

I don' t have the game but Garfield is the most polished character by far, especially with the move names. I'm gonna guess the next DLC fighter will be Nate from Big Nate, since they might wanna promote the show for Paramount+. If this guess is correct, I might have to tell my tween and early teen self to get ready to tell me a LOT about the Big Nate comics/books knowledge that I still remember!

[@cjszero01]

Based on datamining the next character will be Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[@johnlesher3001]

if they do add nate it better be the book design with the line eyes

Light down air - from the time Jon offered Garfielda second helping of lasagna if he rolled over. March 21, 1979

[@cjszero01]

It's pretty close I'll give ya that.

[@alexmabey7791]

I think you missed one reference. I think " His 9 lives" was used as a reference for another one of his moves. His up special is called Feral Cat, and it reminds me of the evil cat from the "Primal Self" part of the book, when he's about to attack the old lady. (Still the scariest horror comic I've ever read, BTW! 😅)

[@ocass66]

i a firm believer that garfield's theme being jazzy is a reference to the early 80s garfield specials that had music by lou rawls made for them tho one thing i will say is that garfield on the town showed garfield actually fighting like how an actual pissed off cat would fight and i kinda would have liked to see just a tiny bit more of that in his moveset but either way its no biggie

[@Kyler_Comments]

>the cream pie that just keeps going until it explodes

[@beardo5468]

The moment you said the f.smash was a reference it's like my entire world shifted. They really went above and beyond. (kinda makes the rest of the game look kinda bad)

[@NCozy]

If you pay attention the most characters moves are full of references. It just looks janky a lot of the time because the animations are so short. I think they could've fixed it by making the animations a bit lengthier but in exchange letting you cancel them. (In smash these are called IASA frames) Other people have suggested that they could increase the hitstun (the freeze frames after getting hit) so the characters hold their pose for longer after doing an attack.

[@cjszero01]

A lot of the other characters have a lot of references but sadly they are hard to spot because of how fast they go or they are very obscure.

[@TheDreadyGamer]

My 4 BIG requests. Jimmy Neutron (childhood fave, not to mention a surprising lack of CGI cartoon reps. Lots of fun moveset potential too.) Jenny Wakeman (big moveset potential and fun character. Lots of crazy fun stuff you can do with her in combat. Plus, always nice to see another girl join the cast.) El Tigre (representation!! Also, those claws and superpowers could really add something) Princess Azula (the game has a lack of villain reps. And by lack I mean NONE (unless you count Zim, which is… debatable given he’s the protag of his show), Azula’s the best choice to add in my opinion. Also, talk about moveset potential with her firebending.)

[@zeldasmetaknight]

Heres my request: Inspector Gadget (a cybernetic man with many whacky moves, from the gadget copter to the inflatable coat) I'm sure his stage would be Metro City (if the game had spirit battles like smash then Dr.Claw would be the legend)

[@SuperGoker64]

Since I don't have this game, I have to ask: are there super moves in this game akin to Final Smashes? If they were to add them in, I could imagine Garfield's being a reference to the Pet Force continuity. At this point, there are three characters that I would love to see added in for DLC: Jimmy Neutron, Daggett Beaver, and, although she's not from a Nicktoon, Alex Mack. I also wouldn't mind seeing stages based on Legends of the Hidden Temple or Guts.

[@cjszero01]

Nope, Finn and Jake will not be in this game because Nickelodeon do not own the rights to Adventure Time. Which is why they'll be in the Warner Brother Smash Game "Multiversus" because Cartoon Network owns the show and characters. And no, Garfield is not from Cartoon Network. He had a show that aired on Cartoon Network, but that doesn't mean they own the character. Nickelodeon also aired "Garfield and Friends", along with shows like "Tiny Toon Adventures", "Animaniacs", and "Pinky and the Brain", but they did not own those shows. Nickelodeon bought the rights to Garfield a few years ago so now he IS owned by Nickelodeon.
