Gameplay for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl revealed!

Today on IGN, four videos were released, one showing off the game's mechanics, while the other three show off some in-game fights.

First, the gameplay explanation, featuring SpongeBob and his pal Patrick! As you can expect with a game inspired by Super Smash Bros., the main objective is to ring out your opponent. Each character has a damage percentage, and as they take hits, the percentage increases. The higher it is, the farther they fly!

The video also explain Light attacks (weak moves that help increase damage on your foes) Strong attacks (which will send a foe flying) and Special attacks (unique to each fighter). Each one has three versions: middle, up, and down. Additionally, if two different Strong attacks hit each other, one will take priority over the other. Down beats Middle, and will cause the opponent to stagger. Middle beats Up, and causes the opponent to turn around. Up beats Down, and causes the opponent to spin out.

Grabs can also be performed not only on the ground, but in the air as well! You can even grab an opponent's projectile attack and throw it back at them! Speaking of which, Strong attacks can reflect projectiles, and each reflect will make the projectile get stronger and faster up to a certain point.

Other mechanics of the game brought up are fighters being able to strafe  (in which the character will always face a certain direction if you hold the left trigger button on certain controllers) and Air Dashing, a move that boosts you in a certain direction, but you can only perform it once per time your in the air. Performing an Air Dash towards the ground will allow your character to perform a Wave Dash, allowing them to quickly slide on the ground and quickly follow up with an attack.

There were also some gameplay footage shown off! First is a fight between SpongeBob, Leonardo, April O' Neil, and Patrick on the Air Temple Stage from Avatar: The Last Airbender!

Next, CatDog get into a fierce battle with Lucy Loud on the Jellyfish Fields stage from SpongeBob SquarePants!

And finally, April O'Neil Vs. Nigel Thornberry on the Jellyfish Fields stage!

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is planned to be released on October 5th. Are you looking forward to getting it? Tell us in the comments below!
