For those who don’t know, this essentially meant that every move in the game could be countered with another move depending on if it was a strong attack or a light attack. Correctly countering the move would cause the other player to flip and leave them open to attack.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/LiquidHbox/status/1687555814947700737[/EMBED_TWITTER]Although it was a unique mechanic that made Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl stand out from other platform fighters, it wasn’t a very popular one and was something that many players didn’t really get on with. Well, it seems that Ludosity and Fair Play Labs were aware of this, as it’s now been completely removed from the game. Now, attacks will just attacks and there won’t be a specific way to counter enemies based on what move they use.That’s not the only thing that’s new in All-Star Brawl 2, however. As was previously hinted at during the game’s initial reveal trailer, the sequel also introduces a meter mechanic similar to the ones found inStreet Fighter 6andMortal Kombat. This “Slime Meter” charges up in battle when hitting other opponents, and can then be used for a variety of different things. The first of these is enhancing your special moves to make them more powerful, such as SpongeBob’s bubble blow going from one small bubble to three big bubbles.[EMBED_YT]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q9E6B70M-k&t=212s[/EMBED_YT]The second use for the meter is a move called “Slime Burst”, which essentially acts as a combo breaker, as well as allowing you to stop your momentum in mid-air and avoid being ringed-out. Finally, the meter can also be used to perform one big cinematic attack to deal a ton of damage to your opponent, SpongeBob’s fittingly sees him using a boatmobile to run down his enemies, while Patrick sees him picking up his house to crush the other fighter.Next:Baldur’s Gate 3 Is A Game Where Every Decision Actually Matters
