Best Beginner Fighters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
For those new to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 or brawler-styled games, choosing characters to get your feet wet can be daunting. Brawler games will have characters who outperform others on specific maps and matchups. Thankfully, you can usually go with a middle-ground character that isn’t too complicated to learn to have fun.
Based on the first game, it’s fair to assume the best beginner-friendly fighters will continue being Spongebob Squarepants, Aang, Lucy Loud, and Danny Phantom in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. These characters were solid picks in the prequel for newcomers since they’re not too complex to control and did good damage output. That may change when the sequel launches and as new characters get tested by players, but consider these fighters if you’re new to the series.
