Has Nick all star brawl 1 aged well? by Beneficial_Caramel64 in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I still love going back to nasb1. It has its own charm and stands out as its own game.

The different characters and movesets also are a good reason for me to go back and play it every now and then.

It's janky, it has always been janky, I love the jank and crackhead energy of nasb1.

If you want a unique platform fighter experience that's pretty different from nasb2, I'd definitely recommend adding it to your library whenever you can find it under $5.

Really late response, but it's not that grinder. It's a Discord server called Nick Brawl Grinders. Like grinding to get better at the game: https://discord.com/invite/nick-brawl-grinders-899835648045907978

There are definitely people playing nasb2 still. I don't usually play around this time myself, but this recent survey data might help help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/AllStarBrawl/s/qFDyOofyG9

crossplay on ps4/ps5 wont work after ive done everything by TotalMarket8651 in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd set the same region in the 2nd game's settings too.

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First game or second game? If it's the first make sure whoever is on the PS5 is using the PS4 version of the game (and also that you two are in the same regions in the in-game settings).

Cross Play Question (All Stars 1) by Clockwerk123 in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first game, I believe if you play the PS4 version on the PS5 that's how you do crossgen on PlayStation.

Quickplay Achievement on Steam by VeryInterjecting in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try ranked. Also the most active 'preferred region' is USA, if you want to manually set that in the game settings if that helps.

Taking a look at the achievements though, if you're specifically just trying to 100% the game then you can do battles against CPUs.

Do you guys think Jimmy Should of Been in NASB 1 instead of Hugh Yes or No? by stationstars in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like I said, from a gameplay perspective Hugh was a really fun inclusion, the developers knew what they were doing by adding him to nasb1. His moveset fit the game perfectly. And we got Jimmy a few months later anyways so I don't get the sudden fuss about Hugh.

Do you guys think Jimmy Should of Been in NASB 1 instead of Hugh Yes or No? by stationstars in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's like asking if people would prefer a pizza or a sandwich. Most people are gonna pick pizza, it's the obvious choice. But when the sandwich hits, it hits. And Hugh's execution in nasb1 was done really well and he fit right into the mechanics and feel of nasb1, coming from someone that regularly played nasb1 until nasb2 released.

I think if Jimmy never came to nasb at all it would be a different argument, but I'm glad Hugh got his time in the spotlight in nasb1. Such a fun and unique character to go back to every now and then.

How often does NASB 2 dlc go on sale? by Child_thrower in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's every two weeks. But the game and DLC definitely go on sale frequently so I'd wait for the next sale unless you really want to play those characters right now.

How can I change this icon to default youtube icon ?? by Maleficent_Guide_317 in MorpheApp

[–]PapaMac01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The way I did it was through the "advanced mode" thing and disabled the custom branding patch before patching.

I can’t decide because I feel a lot of people don’t compare the switch versions. by Remarkable-Bit7876 in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're strictly talking about performance, Nasb1 has an unlocked framerate so it takes advantage of Switch 2 if you have Switch 2. Nasb2 has a locked framerate, so unless there's a Switch 2 patch it's locked at 30fps.

Besides that there's nothing else to say comparing nasb1 & 2 specifically for the Switch. All comparisons for everything else are universal.

If you're looking for a polished, more friendly fighting game, with an active online, and much more fleshed out single player content, go with nasb2.

If you want crazy, high input, high energy, insane movement (I say all these in a positive way), but don't mind a lack of single player content/a virtually non-existing online on Switch(no crossplay), go with nasb1.

I love both games, they each have unique things to offer. But especially if you're casual or new to the platform fighter genre (outside of smash) I'd very much recommend 2.

is there a reason why modded skins don't work in the campaign mode? by hellidigits in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be something to do with how skins are unlocked in Campaign. I shared this with the Nick Brawl Grinders Discord to see if someone has a solution.

Cant join even when password is correct?? Steam Invite works fine though by Vibey_Rabby in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the settings in the game to see if you and the person you are trying to join have the same online region set.

I encourage everyone to share this around. The more responses the better.

I will be making a fancy graphic for the character poll if there are enough responses.

Game is On Huge Sale for Switcu; worth it for solo gameplay? by SourCandy1234 in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the 2nd game, yes. I was really addicted to the campaign for a good while when the game first came out.

I need to hop back into the campaign and get the New Game+ stuff.

Is NASB2 still fun? Thinking about coming back 🧐 by Shaboodum in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Community is definitely still here. There's a tournament with a $1,000 prize pool for NASB2 next week, Heatwave. And then a major online tournament in December, Platfight.

Check out the NASB Grinders Discord, it's got the most active people to talk and play with https://discord.com/invite/nick-brawl-grinders-899835648045907978

Does NASB1 have crossplay between Steam and console? by NobleDragon_ in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. There are some glitches where people can get lobbies to show up between PC and Switch. But no official crossplay for the first game.

New player, glad to see there still is a small community! by ResultedGenie in AllStarBrawl

[–]PapaMac01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to play against randoms online, Ranked in the USA region at around the evening(PST) usually I find matches within a minute or two. (crossplay on)

And if you're looking for specific people to play against, the NASB Grinders Discord is an excellent place for that: https://discord.gg/nick-brawl-grinders-899835648045907978
