Will say about Disney is that they seem to be more flexible about licencing out characters and properties as long as the pitch is good (all the Lucasarts remakes Double Fine did) so I wouldn't exactly rule out Doug being in the game just yet.

Meanwhile, I don't see how being derivative of Smash Bros. is a bad thing? As long as you're competent and know what you're doing, it's a concept that needs more games and takes. I think the problem is that most derivatives of Smash are bad. I think the only exceptions seem to be stuff like multiplayer indies that do enough different, Brawlhalla and…that’s it? I never played Slap City but people I follow seem to really like that so that’s why I have more faith than how, for example, PlayStation All-Stars had to be constructed from the ground up with fighting game people who didn’t know what made Smash…Smash. The closest thing to smash that's good, would be Rivals of Aether. Funny enough it seems to be closer to what if Blazblue was built off of Smash Melee. Now I ask the all important question: can Inspector Gadget be in the game?

I wish they could be in it, but they're not owned by Nick at all:

I mean they got Danny Phantom in there and while not as bad as John Kricfalusi, Butch Hartman is still a shitty ass person too. I think it helps that Butch is so far away from Nick at this point, it's not like he'll take major issue with it. I mean, he's got a failed streaming service to not tell people about. He's a busy man. Hey, be fair, he's also very hard at work commissioning people to do animation for him and then not paying them. And it takes time to write up jokes about how people made their friends kill themselves.

Any chance of this game getting serious traction on the competitive scene?

Any chance of this game getting serious traction on the competitive scene? There is a small chance, but outside of people making memes out of the game or criticizing the final roster, there's a chance it won't go beyond a cursory glance when it's first released, especially if they leave out voice acting much like they did with Nick Kart Racing 2 as a cost saving measure. Which is probable. After all, these studios often aren't given large budgets to work with, and they likely have decided that not using voice in the game may allow them more money to devote to better gameplay, at the cost of fan reception.

They should add them as well
I know I said it before but they should’ve gotten a spin off show and Paramount should’ve rolled with this instead of rebooting Rugrats this could have been their answer to MLP FiM.

I'll admit, I was kindof on the "hahaha what if [obscure character]" train (even if I'd seen the same 3 tweets about Hugh Neutron and The Boulder about a million times). But considering the appeal towards older properties and it being by the Slap Fight devs......I'm not saying I'm buying the game, I've never seen a Nickelodeon game that's anything more than a cheap imitation of a popular franchise......but I'll keep an eye on it.
And I don't see it having a "main stage at EVO" game/tournament scene. I would be floored if that ever happened. But "side tournament for shits and grins" ala Divekick, WindJammers, or that Shrek brawler that has a semblance of a competitive scene? If the game lives up to Slap Fight standards gameplay-wise, I could totally see that happening. If there's a competitive, competent game to be had (and if Nickelodeon lets the dev make the game...which, I dunno Nickelodeon game development so MAYBE that's asking for the impossible), there'll be a pocket of the FGC that'll make it happen.

One thing I've found very surprising with this game is how many people know absolutely nothing about Loud House. I at least knew of Lincoln and the art style and the like waaaaaay before I actually watched it.

I'll be honest I only know of the Loud House because a user here used to have characters as their signature and avatar here...
I don't think I've seen a single advertisement for it.
Granted the same could be said about like the wasteland of failed nicktoons which I don't see making an appearance... >_>
Unless Fanboy and Chumchums die hard fan starts a letter writing campaign <_<

Not saying it's unearned, given Chris Savino as a whole, and... certain parts of the fandom, but I was genuinely surprised because I don't socialize that much.

It’s shame this is cartoons only, because seriously this game seems tailor made for Artie, The World’s Strongest Man.
