'Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl' Gameplay

"Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl" undoubtedly has many similarities to the "Super Smash Brawl" franchise. Both labeled as a fighting game platform, they have an in-game competition where opposing players try to damage each other until one of them "falls off" the stage area. Both also use high-level mechanics like attack, light, strong, specials, shields, parry shields, grab, tauntand super armor.

However, "Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl" has a few more competitive benefits introduced. First, it has the "Wavedash" mechanic, a high-level technique that lets a character glide across the ground without walking or running.

Digitrends also noted that "character phasing" and "edge-hogging" are included. The former is an in-game system that lets characters run through each other, so they can position themselves optimally in the fight (like getting behind the enemy). The latter is used to prevent other characters from climbing back on stage whenever they fall off the platform.

Lastly, "Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl" uses rollback netcode. This is arguably one of the best possible networking used in fighting games.

Ludosity and 'Slap City'

One more detail that immediately caught fan's attention was the developer behind "Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl," Ludosity. This team already has a good history with its first indie-fighter game "Slap City." Players are getting excited that "Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl" features both in-game potential and the developer's pedigree to be a legitimate fighting game experience.
