Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is offering up a closer look at Gerald and his moveset with a new spotlight trailer.

Coming from Hey Arnold, Gerald is a brand new character for this time. He’s said to be a tricky mid-range zoner who excels at locking opponents down with a wide range of projectile options before hitting opponents with flashy combos. Gerald has some weaknesses with speed, but has a strong lineup of special moves. One of his most unique mechanics is that players can pull up a menu and select items for different situations.

Gerald can also throw a limited amount of watches that are long range, fast, very strong. Other moves involve a baseball and a skateboard.
