Summary
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2’s latest update adds a new playable character to the crossover fun: the fan-favorite Firebender Zuko fromAvatar: The Last Airbender. Despite lukewarm reviews, 2021’sNickelodeon All-Star Brawlperformed well enough to warrant a sequel, which was released late last year.Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2was considered an improvement over its predecessor, adding 11 new playable characters from across the beloved children’s cable channels' most popular shows.
This includes several characters fromAvatar: The Last Airbender, a franchise that has seen plenty of representation over the past few years thanks to the recent live-action Netflix series and a host oftie-inAvatarvideo games. The originalNickelodeon All-Star Brawlallowed players to take to the battlefield as main protagonist Aang, his tough-as-nails Earthbender friend Toph, and Korra from the follow-up seriesThe Legend of Korra. The sequel retained Aang and Korra, while adding the villainous Princess Azula to the proceedings.
Now Azula’s brother Zuko is being added toNickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2as part of thenew Update 1.8 patch, which is now available to download. Zuko is included as part of theNickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2Season Pass, which will add four new DLC characters to the game’s roster. InAvatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko was the son of the wicked Fire Lord Ozai, and initially sought to capture Avatar Aang to regain his father’s approval. During the show’s third and final season, Zuko renounced his cruel father and joined Aang, teaching the young Avatar the ways of Firebending to help end the Fire Lord’s tyranny.
Zuko isn’t the only thing being added in the newNickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2update, as various tweaks are being implemented among the game’s existing roster. This includesprevious DLC character Mr. KrabsofSpongeBob SquarePantsfame, who now has Invincibility for all Throw attack states and increased Knockback gain for Charge Down. The duo of Ren and Stimpy, Nigel fromThe Wild Thornberrys, and the aforementioned Avatar Korra are all getting minor changes, and other characters have their Get Up In Place states fixed to match the rest of the roster.
As helpful as these adjustments are forNickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2players, the main attraction of the new update will no doubt be the playable Zuko, whose powerful Firebending attacks and fierce martial arts skills are sure to make him a force to be reckoned with in the arena. He won’t be the lastAvatar: The Last Airbendercharacter to be added toNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, as the ongoingAll-Star Brawl 2season pass also includes Iroh, Zuko’s kindly uncle whose wisdom and compassion were crucial to Zuko’s redemption – a nearly three-season journey that cemented him as one ofAvatar’s most beloved characters.
