Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Squidward

Another character spotlight trailer has been released for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, with the attention now shifting to Squidward from SpongeBob.

The gist of Squidward is that he has some unique movement options, “vein popping anger” that can be used for a big speed boost and damage buff, and… artistic talent. SpongeBob fans will be happy to know that he has ground charge attacks from the show. Squidward’s light aerials are also an important part of the character. Additionally, he can execute double jump cancels.
