Board 8 > So, they posted Nigel Thornberry's moveset in that Nickelodeon Smash clone.

(+) Yeah! (+)

You look at something like this and compare it to Smash, and it's like a completely different level.

FALCOOOOOOOOON dive 10/10 they know what they're doing

---

They must changed some of those names last minute...

I don't care if he's not top tier, gotta play as a character that makes frog noises.

---

man that only makes me want voices that much more

How are you going to have one of Nigel's special moves be named "Smashing" and not have him say it when he does the move???

---

I assume they didnt get Tim Curry but does he have any voice clips?

---

There's no voice acting in the game unfortunately, but they said it's possible to patch it in.

I'd main Nigel Thornberry if frigging POWDERED TOAST MAN wasn't in the game, hopefully he's next on the spotlight!

---

I think the worst thing here is that there are only 3 specials and up special looks to be more or less the same recovery utility on everyone.

---

3 specials is a bummer but I like what they're doing with light/strong attacks. I've seen a lot of videos on this game and I don't think I'll actually be able to judge it until I play it. The presentation is lacking but everything seems like it's going to play well.

Also this game is fast as fuck so the gap between casuals and good players is going to be way bigger than Smash.

---

The gap is huge in Smash though. And simply having a fast game may not mean anything if gameplay doesn't turn out engaging. I'm waiting for it too, but I'm not filled with confidence from what I've seen.

---

The gap is huge in Smash too, yes, but I'm having a hard time trying to find the words for what I mean.

I think what I'm trying to ultimately say is that people who only have experience with Smash and not other fighting games are going to have a bad time once they realize this game is basically MVC2 as a platform fighter.

I consider myself pretty good at Smash but sometimes I still lose to my friends who are more casual. If the same skill levels were applied to a game like Marvel I would win 100 times in a row against a casual. There's a low floor to be "good" at Smash and a super high ceiling to be a pro. But in Marvel I think there's a higher floor to be "good" because of the amount of things you need to learn and the execution difficulty.

I think this game is going to be a lot more similar to Marvel than Smash when it comes to those skill floors. I also don't necessarily think that Smash skills will transfer to this game. Maybe I'll be wrong but I think the casual crowd will drop this game a lot faster than Smash.

But yeah I agree it'll actually have to feel good and be engaging to actually keep the competitive crowd they're banking on.

---

I get what you're saying, but no offense, if you're pretty good at Smash you should literally never lose to a casual. I have to try very hard to lose to any of my friends when we play.

---

Well they're not complete casuals, they're just more casual than me. I'd say they're about average at Smash but they would never be able to pick up Street Fighter or Marvel or other fighting games.

I think one of the underrated qualities of Smash is how well it makes the different aesthetics of its series fit together.

The pose of that scorpion move looks so painful my spine hurts
