Another day, another character showcase for the highly anticipated Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. This time, the character joining is the earth bender, Toph, whose inclusion in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was leaked earlier by someone who attempted to start the game before its launch. Now, the leak has finally been confirmed to be true, with Toph's moveset and stage being given its own showcase.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl comes out in just three days, but the game has not taken its foot off the pedal quite yet. Just yesterday, both Aang and Korra each had their moves showcased alongside their stage. Now, Toph has been showcased, and her moves are interesting since they essentially make her playstyle the opposite of Aang.
Aang is close range and excels in the air, while Toph's air moves are quite weak and her stronger attacks are long range. Her most interesting move is her down special. On the ground, she performs a front flip that deals damage. While in the air, however, Toph will actually create a platform underneath her. This platform serves her as a tool to reposition during a fight or recover from out of bounds. It's a very interesting mechanic, and one of many cool moves that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is bringing to the table.
Alongside her moveset, her stage, Omashu, was also briefly introduced. It's a large five-platform stage and is also dynamic. Supply carts (like the ones Aang and his group rode during the series) will occasionally slide around the stage and hit players. There was also a tease in regards to the cabbage merchant where it was warned that players should not get between him and his cabbages. This could have just been a joke, but it's possible there is some sort of penalty for players that decide to test that out.
Toph is sure to be a popular pick amongst fans who have watched the series and are a fan of her earth-bending moveset. As it stands, she is the final base roster character for the game, as it has been confirmed that the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will ship with 20 characters. Of course, this doesn't mean more won't join later down the line as DLC characters, as Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has many franchises to choose from.
Unfortunately, this all depends on how well Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl performs. If the game ships and is a hit commercially, then the developers will likely start working on DLC characters and some other patches. It all depends on the fans, however, and if this doesn't resonate with them, it's possible Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl won't have many updates. As it stands though, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is looking to come out of the gates swinging.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl launches October 5th for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
