[@Shahars71]

The saddest thing is, you can totally see where some of these were going but they were just lacking in the supers' storyboarding and such. I mean, just look at Aang's super as an example. In the original show, he charged this attack by swirling all 4 elements around him creating an absolutely massive spear-like attack that, with a big arching motion, he struck down with devastating force (even though it never actually landed because spoilers). In the show, that animation had a ton of weight and build up to it. You knew that if that attack hit, it would be totally destructive. But here, even though they're clearly trying to imitate that scene from the show, there's no motion, no projectile, nothing. This couldn't have been what they wanted this to look like, right? Like, that animation feels like it should've been much more than it actually was.

[@1dayago843]

Totally agreed, I think the supers were a last minute addition so the studio had little time to make the majority of these supers.

[@novembermann4854]

I think if the devs were given more time, they could have done more to polish these up.

It's especially weird when you look at them in total. You have Gerald who tells this story while Lucy just makes a tornado and that's it.

[@johnmaco]

Well, in the competitive scene people are going to deactivate the Supers anyway

[@Galiaverse]

@@johnmaco Why would they? And don't say "Because they did in Smash". Completely different situation here. Everyone here in NASB2 has the same Area Of Effect activation for their super, and the resulting payoffs are all the same. Final Smashes activated via meters were _WILDLY_ different in AoE and payoff between each character. They were supposed to be a bit weaker compared to Smash Ball versions, but some like Ness and Zelda were still extremely effective while other characters were clearly inferior.

For me, Ren and Stimpy is the best because of how beautifully it was animated, and the worst one is Jenny's because she has a lot more potential. I hope the sound issues and maybe some of the visuals will get fixed in future patches.

[@Mariocat99]

That I would heavily agree, I would make a minor rant about Jenny's ability as much of a good character, she is. But I'll keep it short. The super is done too quickly, and their was at least another idea or two that could've been shared, and the move was pretty lame compared to all the others

[@zanpakutoman4225]

Even with the E rating and any sort of time/budget constraints, I feel like some of these lack some creativity. Out of the hundreds of Spongebob episodes and handful of movies, all they could think of for Plankton was a Self Destruct?

[@Mariocat99]

Would be interesting if the game was E 10+ or even T. But I sure know that Jenny would be a rated M candidate.

[@Zuxtron]

​@@zanpakutoman4225 A self-destruct isn't a bad idea for a super, but what ruins it is that right after the explosion, it immediately snaps out of the cutscene and shows him not self-destructed. That's my biggest problem with most of them, the transition from cutscene back to gameplay is way too abrupt, as if the attack in the cutscene never actually happened.

9:12 speaking as someone who loves My Life as a Teenage Robot, her super is a doubly huge L because not only is it a pretty terrible super by the game's standards, but it's also just a really random pull from the source material, especially considering how much the team loves the moveset (evident by them changing very little from the first game). They had other options that would've been so much better, but I have to wonder if there were higher ups turning potential better ideas down.

Somehow I think that the best super for Garfield is one where he doesn't do anything at all, just watches whatever happens happen. A super is meant to represent maximum effort, after all, so what better version of that could there be for Garfield than no effort at all? My vote is for the "TOO MUCH RICE" tidal wave, but any time where Jon screws up and Garfield just gets to watch the dominoes fall is good enough for me.

[@kevingriffith6011]

On the plus side, having the thing that's holding back all these supers being the audio is... probably the easiest thing to fix from a development standpoint. I could see them patching in updated sound for supers much more realistically than I could see them re-animating things or fussing with the pacing of the supers.

[@aringorski4786]

It's not just the audio. The camera angles are weak, the transitions between shots are weak, they take you out of the action for several seconds, and the characters kind of just float in the void while action lines run past them. Like 90% of these are basically Byleth's final smash from Ultimate but *worse.* And Byleth's final smash is one of the worst in that game. If you ask me, a lot of these shouldn't have been cutscenes, they should've just had the animations play on the actual stage. I think at least half of them would've been way better if they didn't take you out of the action.

[@kevingriffith6011]

@@aringorski4786 That's more of a general cinematic super problem. The worst part is that I'm pretty sure it's possible to have it both ways: Hype supers to impress the players for the first time they see a character but without breaking gameplay flow. See, they just need a "short supers' toggle in the options. If both players have short supers toggled on you get a 1-2 second super flash into hit animation that's focused on putting you in exactly the same place with the same health that the super would leave you with. Toggled off by default, and when you get tired of seeing supers you can turn it on.

I feel like this game is in an odd kind of situational limbo. Max was right when he observed that since it's based off of kids' cartoons, the developers were obviously going to avoid getting too violent (plus Nick probably had pretty tight control over what they could and couldn't do). At the same time, however, most of the characters in the game are from shows that aired from the late 80s to 2000s, and the people who watched those shows are now in their 30s or 40s, and hardly need their precious little eyes shielded from seeing Garfield punching Danny Phantom in the face. So they're trying to appeal to younger kids who won't recognize most of the cast, while also trying to appeal to Millennials who will be annoyed by the watered-down content.

They could maybe play it off as a reference to that one scene of that one episode of The Garfield Show where Garfield meets an AU version of himself who randomly turns into a big monster - though, they seem more fond of pulling from Garfield and Friends..

[@Klaereific]

Fun little note about the supers, specially Aang's, in the spotlight trailer videos for the characters you can actually see a lot of the missing vfx. It's rather odd that the polish in those character trailers isn't present here on full release, but it at least gives me hope that they can work those rough spots out faster and reliably.

[@captaineli2461]

There was a day 1 patch that was supposed to be rolled out but it got delayed, I’m assuming that patch was intended to add that all in.

This game really does have those childhood cartoon game vibes

[@GuitarSlayer136]

if by that you mean the vibe of licensed GameCube shovelware Because your not wrong

[@tropicturtle9021]

@@GuitarSlayer136 stinks that the game is still so held back by its presentation. It’s a massive step up from the original game and fixed nearly every complaint people had with 1, but the budget and rushed development is still glaring in a lot of areas. At least it managed to avoid the classic fighting game sin of ‘no single player content’ this time around.

[@thezx5795]

Bro a lot of these feel like they just straight up didn't finish animating or weren't properly directed

[@notawiiu]

imo the only "bad" one was Jenny's 😔 i wish she got proton cannon

[@LordShonji]

Could have even gone with the giant tennis racket and launched them into space

[@MrSkerpentine]

I remember someone suggesting that she should’ve had all of her siblings come out for one big massive attack like Mega Man’s Final Smash

[@inaccurateprophecy8971]

She could have even launched you to another planet on a rocket. She’s got so much potential for cool super moves but I gusss they just didn’t have it in the budget?

[@microblast3700]

Jenny's super was terrible

[@sgr_sean]

Jenny has like even the movies to pick from for big attacks shes done, that and all the benders have actual good moves that couldve been pulled, but i guess making those fast enough for a super wouldve made them all look weird. They all lack cinematic flair, but fair enough its a low budget game, cant be too mad at it.

[@ChromosomeExcel]

They did my XJ9 dirty, what the hell kind of special was that. That one hurt me, with all the weapons she has, she just meditates....really?! This is a full price game and budget looks like beginner dev made it and you can totally tell what show they loved growing up and that's Ren and stimpy

[@ocarinaholmes]

5:44 the way jimmy just fucking stands there accepting his fate

[@Paraguai123]

His freaking imposing stance too. Like "I am ready to beat shit up" only to get pasted by a train

[@crescentfreshsongs]

They are so, so close to nailing this idea. I love how relatively (relatively!) brutal some of these are for a Nick game, too. Ren and Rocko have my favorites, which warms the cockles of my aging heart.

[@MartinDemario]

I hope they get Leo and Mikey back in the game. TmnTdoesn't feel complete without them

[@LooneyTunesBackInActionWasGood]

I know, I hate that they had them both in the last game but not in this one. Seems like something that would be easy to just port over, but for some reason they decided not to. Maybe they had a roster limit and wanted to focus on adding more new characters.

[@unskilledgamer3642]

@@LooneyTunesBackInActionWasGood Port over? This game is not just a sligthly upgraded version of the first NASB. They build everything from the ground up, that includes all playable characters. In order to bring a character from the first game they had to rethink they entire moveset (even if some characters didn't change much the devs had to consider possible changes). And then they had to re-do every model. And animate Every Single Frame of Every Single Animation. That's A LOT of effort, and they simply did not have the budget or time to do that for EVERY past character and still add so much more. Like, they could have reworked all veterans from the first game, but in that case we may not have gotten any newcomers. Or different modes. We can hope that Leo and Mikey appear as DLC in 2025 or in NASB 3. But for both cases the devs need more money and time.

[@P.H691]

They have their models done already, but they are just mocking us at this point

[@igotboredokay.2023]

​@@unskilledgamer3642Yeah, but I think it feels weird because April came back, instead of someone like Splinter or Casey. I just wonder on why April chosen to return over Leo and Micky

[@Nitrogenic]

To be fair these are the original cartoon versions which I personally think are the worst ones to include either way in terms of cool factor

[@Kaelicles]

The fact that all of these were cinematic actually harms some of them, since that pause and unpause of the action is jarring, and some supers are just better when they maintain the regular flow of combat. Lucy’s and Azula’s come to mind there.

[@galaxycamerata]

I feel like Azula's blue fire super would work the best if it was referencing the full psychotic breakdown where shes just screaming in blind rage and breathing fire.

[@sqpenn]

1:34 spongebob laugh was impressive

Speaking of Danny Still hope that the game adds in these DP character's- Skulker The Box Ghost The Lunch Lady Dark Danny (The Adult Version Of Danny) Dani (The Female Clone Of Danny) That Plus add in Vlad as a playable character

[@DesignFrameCaseStudies]

I'm a bit shocked by most of these. On one hand, stuff like Reptar's is very well done, and the humorous references behind the Spongebob's characters' ones are great, but even those fall really flat and without much impact. Squidward's sucks and is only carried by the reference. Plankton's is literally nothing. I can't believe they didn't even use "maximum overdrive." The lack of personality and sound effects in many like the news girl is insane. Ones like Danny Phantom are like... okay, now what? Aang's is completely unfinished as a pale shadow of what I imagine the storyboard would've been. I don't even know what happened to ones like Garfield's.

[@ssrjay_yt23]

Freaking April uses a Nickelodeon version of a spirit bomb

[@nomorepartiezz]

i like how most of them are just like slapping someone around and then theres a couple that are violently exploding the entire planet

[@champthy]

Most of these are like 1 or 2 steps away from being good. They feel like they end early too. I see this the most with Danny Phantom, Garfield, and the benders.

[@Koloshow]

I cannot wait for Rate the Super on Playstation Allstars

[@rchoung34]

knowing Max's chat, people were definitely spamming "maximum tiger" as soon as Max said El Tigre's super was like Ragnarok/Maximum Spider lol

[@dustymax56]

Yes! Thank you for mentioning PlayStation All-Stars! I’ve been getting this vibe from this game a lot. They’re not meant to be HUGE supers like Smash but quick pops to break up the flow of the game

[@trevorghalt1881]

Azula not using lightning in her ultimate seems weird also to me I feel Korra ultimate is better than Aang ultimate because she use the elements like the Avatar and Aang kind of just waves his hand slightly

[@Collato]

To contextualize how wonky some of these are imagine Captain Falcon's Final Smash with every player in their idol animation just standing there waiting to get run over by him.

[@richie404]

It's really cool that they added Supers and some do need to be fixed. Ren and Stimpy's Super is just Amazing, it is a Great reference from the Show. Reptar, Gerald, Zim, SpongeBob and April's Super Attacks are really Cool as well. Since Mr Krabs is confirmed as DLC, his Super should be a reference to the Episode "Clams" where his opponents are tied up as bait and calls the Clam to eat them.

[@joeykorleone6161]

Being a rockos modern life fan the reference from the intro of the show with the giant hand flicking rocko into the real world was pretty cool

[@ItzPeteTv]

Isn't Azula's power move lightning? I'm surprised she didn't strike you with a massive lightning bolt with her super.

[@tropicturtle9021]

Lighting is her down special in the game so I guesss they were trying to avoid using it twice for some reason.

[@ItzPeteTv]

@@tropicturtle9021 true but still it wouldve made more sense since lightning was a huge deal.

I would love to see a rate the super for PSASBR. One of my favorite fighting games of all time honestly and I really wish Sony had given the team another shot.

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

I find it amusing like half of these are just people getting run over by some kind of vehicle.

[@gamerbro8399]

In my opinion, most of the supermoves needs work or some change cuz they dont look or feel effective and they're too plain. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they put supermoves in this game but i do wish they give spongebob the goofy goober rock as his supermove

[@sergioescobar1391]

The funny thing is that El Tigre's super didn't have to be a Ragnorok/Ultimate Spider. It could've more closely resembled Ganondorf's Final Smash and still be faithful to the source material. Still, the benders were done dirty. Jenny especially feels like she was toned down compared to what she could really do in her own show.

[@kevingriffith6011]

7:01 and 11:00 really do show off the difference good cinematography can make. They're very similar supers conceptually, a big energy tornado-y thing, but because the first of the two was just so much more well shot we give it an 8/10, while the second is just much more boring to look at.

[@notofuse8549]

Personally, I think they're both shot beautifully, even more so the second one. But the sound design is just not there for Korra.

[@N0l30dy]

8:35 to see his bewilderment on the Garfield move. The sheer confused curiosity.

[@indoraptor-ep8vp]

My only gripe with the game is that I wish they kept the roster from the original game and added all the new characters on top of it

[@ComradeYasker]

The way they showed Aang's powers after i saw Korra's made me feel some kind of a fury and dissapointment. Idk, they literally made worst avatar more powerful than Aang when she's not even in one kilometer close, what the hell.

[@BumpBobLooly]

I don't like some of the supers like I think Garfield's should've been him mailing them to Abu Dhabi, him kicking them like what he does with Odie, or a giant pie showing up. Azula should've been her shooting lightning like in Book 2's or Book 3's finale. Jenny's should've been either the laser from the first episode, having her sisters show up, or something from the opening. I think Danny's should've been the Ghostly Wail or the Ecto-Skeleton.

[@kevingriffith6011]

Hell, Garfield's super could have easily been "TOO MUCH RICE!", with him just watching casually as Jon and all of his opponents are swept away in a tidal wave of rice.

[@dustymax56]

Holy crap, I didn’t know this game had that many characters. Arnold’s grandma? El Tigre! Gerald?! EMBER?!!!!

[@dillongeorge5866]

I’m glad everyone universally agrees that Gerald, Reptar, and Ren and Stimpy have the best supers. Gerald’s especially, like god dang they went all in on a classic reference to the series that fits him incredibly well 😂👏👏 Zuko and Iroh are scheduled to arrive as DLC, so hopefully those two have incredible supers to make up for the other Avatar characters 😅

[@sumthinorother9615]

Oh god I was Banking on Firebreath to be his defining trait, it can’t just be a super Uh, bomb Ba Sing Se instead.

[@360KnowSoap]

[@sanfransiscon]

I was shocked to see Ember in, but I'm really disappointed in that super. You'd think her strongest move would be sending a stampede of fans to trample you.

[@Kazketch]

Man, really, all of these have great references like de Jenny one, great attention to detail like the Ren and Stimpy's one, and that goes for almost all of the roster, but what the hell happened to the dudes from Avatar? Or April? Those didn't even look like they're from the same game

[@weird_gamer7777]

Definitely going to check this out, looks very fun and interesting. Love the videos by the way Max!!

[@cpMetis]

These feel EXTREMELY "censor board said no". That's why so many people get hit by cars/trains/elephant ass. It must have been the most most violent thing they were allowed to depict! Like Jenny may normally be fine slicing up her enemies, but since this game makes the enemy other Nick characters with picky IP holders they have to just vaguely imply she's slapchoping them. That's why the tiger kid can Ragnarok: they're just cartoon cat claws. Raphael similar, they're so small and NOT-knife looking that they don't make it look like he's actually shanking Squidward.

[@geminidreik2608]

That spirit bomb couldn´t get the right sounds because Toei wouldn´t let them.

[@jpnakashima1224]

The greatest issue is clearly the sound ): Budget or not, the sound design in many of these is simply off or lacking. The ideas are almost all super cool and I love when they animate the models to do more of that source animation stuff, but the sound does hold all of them back. Big improvement, but still some stuff to be ironed out!

[@DistinctRed]

Why did they do Danny and ember dirty like that lmao

[@intriguinglyenigmatic1743]

For Aang they shouldve done the scene where him and Ozin are fighting and hes in the avatar state with all the element sswirling around him or when hes doing the tequnique the lion turtle(?) Showed him and theyre fighting over control of who keeps their bending abilities

[@hollowowlyt]

It’s strange that the game seems well made and fairly polished but the supers are extremely jank. What happened?

[@GrokeytheHunter]

You should also do one for Cartoon Network punch time explosion. Those ones are very similiar to these(they aren’t great, but they are funny)
