Okay, so who doesn't love a good taunt in a multiplayer game? Taunting is a silly yet fun feature in many local and online multiplayer games . The Nickelodeon: All-Stars trailer seems to slightly hint at taunts at the press of a button, something that is easy to miss with each character quickly appearing on screen.

The announcement of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Stars updates 2024 certainly came as a surprise, to fighting game fans and cartoon enthusiasts alike. Taking inspiration from the likes of Super Smash Bros. , Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl brings together characters from the company’s history to duke it out in arena matches. Competitors include characters from SpongeBob Squarepants , Invader Zim, and even Ren and Stimpy. It’s also great seeing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles make an appearance as well. The character options are almost as wild as some of the zaniest suggestions for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighters. The roster definitely seems stacked, though some fighters making their way to the arena are still unknown at the time of writing. While it’s great to see fan-favorites make the cut, there are certainly plenty of underrated mascots that deserve a spot on the roster too.

This next one by what obviously appears to be a fake YouTubeKids account is also pretty on point. Basically, every character in Smash has alternate colors you can use to either just make yourself look cooler, or to differentiate between two players using the same character.

The main trailer for this game showcases a wide array of stages to punch and brawl your way through. Having a large diversity of stages from the get-go will be optimal for this game's success. The trailer seems to show the same stages but with different characters in them. Perhaps this is alluding to the fact that there might be dynamic stage layouts that shift depending on the action taking place.

For example, the Manhattan stage from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is shown quite a bit throughout the trailer. While it doesn't specifically show different variations, it could be a more hidden or nuanced feature that only happens during certain matches. Dynamic stages could make each subsequent match more exciting and varied.

If fans want a taste of Nickelodeon All-Star brawl stars updates early , they don't need to look any further than Ludosity's previous fighting game. Slap City is a charming platform fighter built with characters from Ludosity's past games, including Ittle Dew , Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt , and Iji . The game goes out of it's way to make all nine characters play very differently, and there are a ton of stages to play with. The game is known for its "Clutch" button, which modifies attacks when held. It also has a story mode with a very heavy emphasis on platforming. Slap City 's quality and attention to detail inspires a lot of hope for Ludosity's work on All-Star Bra

Lastly, Pat here's Tweet about the lobby system of All-Stars Brawl is another in-joke for fighting game fans. Of course, even a casual fighting game player could piece this joke together, but the audience who has played games made by Arc System Works like Dragon Ball FigherZ or Guilty Gear Strive with weird lobby systems will understand this joke on a deeper level.

Roof Rage is a small indie game on Steam and Switch that is surprisingly fun. Its thirteen different characters are gorgeously rendered in pixel art, and it's smooth animations and good game feel are sure to impress. The game plays in a comparable way to the average platform fighter, but it's systems and the impact of landing hits sets it ap

Seeing that one stage in the trailer pointed to or hinted at certain platform-specific characters or stages. This may not actually happen at launch but could certainly be an aspect for DLC down the line.

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the difference between an exciting trailer that wants to show off its characters to the actual moment-to-moment gameplay. However, each character that jumps into the screen such as Powdered Toast Man and Sandy Cheeks all arrive with a fancy character entrance. This may be nothing more than a trailer feature but more than likely an opening move when first starting a new match.

Next up is Brawlhalla , probably the most successful game on this list. While Brawlhalla 's art and animation style haven't won it a ton of fans, it is a free-to-play game on most platforms that receives frequent updates and has a thriving competitive scene. It's gameplay struck the right balance between deep, and accessible, to draw in a playerbase and keep

A fighting game generally has a bunch of characters that can get into the fight and throw some punches with the best of them, but some characters don't have those abilities. They instead use their superior intellect to outsmart others, and no other character can match the intellect of the boy genius himself, Jimmy Neut

Brawling games are generally played by their community for an extended period of time and a constant amount of secret or hidden goodies to uncover will help with longevity. The trailer seems to hint at that with its deep dive into the sheer amount of content.
