  • Leonardo
  • Aang
  • Lucy Loud
  • Oblina

Another Ninja Turtle rep, the titular Final Airbender, the fifth youngest Loud child, and a candy cane-like monster are all powerful in their own right. Leonardo's maneuvering and spiking specialty is greatly beneficial, meanwhile Aang is predictably active in the air and tin can rack up combos similar a gnaw. Lucy's technical attributes compliment her quick tricks and she has some of the all-time moves in the game, such as "Jump Scare." Oblina boasts astonishing speed, an annoying hitbox, and constructive projectiles, equally well every bit air attacks, such equally her down strong air, that are quick and difficult to punish.

  • CatDog
  • April O'Neil
  • Spongebob

The conjoined canine-feline brothers' ridiculous hitboxes, fast combos, and aerial moves prove the versatility of a duo graphic symbol conforming A-Tier. Apr'south special moves are great at building upward damage to brand up for her lack of reliable KO moves. Meanwhile, Spongebob is the "beginner'due south choice" and a solid character all-around, but mastering his strong moves and aeriform abilities shows how much potential the sponge actually has.

B-Tier

  • Zim
  • Nigel Thornberry
  • Sandy Cheeks
  • Danny Phantom
  • Ren & Stimpy

Zim is a zoner with obnoxious set-up potential and complimentary strong attacks, Nigel's unorthodox moveset is useful because he can survive for very long, and Sandy had an infinite assault like Mikey, only lost information technology in a patch. Nonetheless, she nevertheless has annoying combos to deal with and an effective recovery. Danny Phantom has a lot of solid punishers and the floaty physics befitting of a half-ghost, while Ren & Stimpy circular out B-Tier thanks to their predictably clownish moves with decent KO potential and punishable specials.

  • Lincoln Loud
  • Reptar
  • Helga
  • Powdered Toast Human being

Lincoln might be fast, but about of his attacks are generally weak for doing combos or KO'ing opponents, pregnant zilch too crazy has been done with him as of this writing. Reptar is a archetype heavy, one with stiff projectiles and physical moves that may eventually be sidelined due to his limited potential. Helga has a plethora of interesting moves that accept trouble connecting, and Powdered Toast Homo might look comical and fancy, just his size cripples him considering he can't counter like shooting fish in a barrel attacks that his opponents dish out.

  • Korra

Korra's recovery is odd and she might have untapped potential, simply she is currently then underused that no full general consensus has really been fabricated. She doesn't have notable flaws like other characters, but no true strengths like the ones in a higher place her.

F-Tier

  • Toph
  • Patrick

Toph may have creative earthbending techniques, just her combo game is lacking and her moves are too slow to keep up with the game's pace. Patrick's poor range, lack of speed, and punishable moves - especially his recovery - might exist faithful to his trademark stupidity, only is incompatible with a serious fighting game.
