Games To Play If You Like Super Smash Bros.

But, the dream scenario most fans are probably hoping for is that they'll remix many of the iconic songs from these shows into full tracks similar to how Smash did. We'd love to see a version of "Icky Vicky" from Fairly Odd Parents tailored to a fighting game or even a different rendition of "Gooby Goober" from the first Spongebob movie.


One of its biggest unique traits is that it supports eight-player matches like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate itself. While Roof Rage isn't a bastion of platform fighter innovation like Indie Pogo or King of the Hat might be, it's definitely a platform fighting game hidden gem and worth looking i

Not only that, this joke image/tweet is also targeting a very specific audience of Smash/fighting game players who actually know what "DI" stands for, what a disjointed hitbox possibly could be, and what the original quote from this scene in Fairly Odd Parents.

This next one is sort of along the same vein as our first entry, and it's all about how if another game shows up using iconic and nostalgic characters, but has better consumer practices, most people usually jump ship. Twitter user Clipboards uses this concept to make a point of sub-tweeting on another post from @HuskySSBM about how the developers of All-Stars Brawl Stars maps confirmed rollback netcode on their Discord . Rollback netcode is, of course, the type of netcode that fighting game fans much prefer compared to delayed input netcode that Smash uses.


Rivals of Aether even has four new characters and rollback netcode coming in the near future. To make that good news better, those four characters originated as mods on the Rivals of Aether Steam Workshop , which also hosts thousands of user-created characters, stages, and modes. This one is not to be missed, especially now that it has its own sequel in developm

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.

Lastly, Pat here's Tweet about the lobby system of All-Stars brawl Stars news 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.


The game got big enough for the developer to be acquired by Ubisoft in 2018, and has since participated in many crossover events with video game and TV properties. Brawlhalla isn't the most complex platform fighter, with movesets being limited compared to the average platform fighter. Still, because every character in the massive cast plays just a bit differently, and any potential player will surely be able to find their preferred way to pl


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

At this point, their entire marketing campaign for the game is based around the similarities to the Smash franchise anyway, so maybe they should just double down on it and include Nickelodeon off-brand Smash Bros reference characters in their already-quite-large roster.


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 decent amount of shows already have a character on the roster, and Hey Arnold! is one of them, with Helga Pataki being the first representative. Hey Arnold! has had a bit of a resurgence in popularity, so they are more than deserving of a second character, and Arnold himself should be that charac

It would be massive oversight to only include one or two characters from a given, beloved series. The trailer seems to show off some of the main, more recognizable characters from the Nickelodeon universe, however, the trailer might just be hinting at others to unlock. At certain points in the trailer, you can see a silhouette in the background of a character just watching the match.


In the world of competitive fighting games, Super Smash Bros. stands apart from the crowd. A lot of this has to do with how its scene developed separately from the larger fighting game community, and how nothing else really plays like it. Super Smash Bros. is built on a somewhat Kirby -esque approach to platforming, combined with a system of normal moves, special moves, grabs, and smash attacks. The high-flying, mobility-oriented combat is like nothing else the fighting genre has seen, perhaps exhibiting more explosive moments per match than any other sub-genre. The all-star roster of crossover Nintendo characters, which has slowly expanded to include fighters from across the games industry, is the cherry on
