The people behind the next platform fighter Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has released an excess of gameplay images today, including a detailed video showing the cartoon channel’s mascot, SpongeBob, performing one of the most important movement techniques in the genre, the wave. And, oh my God, it’s beautiful.

The arsenal of all the characters consists of a collection of normal attacks and special moves. Attack-like blows are some of the best tools for defeating players with high percentages.
But Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl also diverges from To break in several compelling ways. Holding down the left trigger prevents the characters from moving away from their opponents, allowing them to withdraw attacks without compensation with movement. There is a built-in system of paper-rock scissors that dictates the interaction of high, medium, and low attacks. All projectiles can be reflected several times, growing in strength and speed with each volley. You can even grab projectiles from the air and carry them around before throwing them back.
