There’s no telling if this was a mistake by Xbox or developer Ludosity, but it certainly gave fans proof that the characters would be in the game - even if they have yet to be confirmed.
What Toph and Korra Can Bring To Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
With Toph and Korra basically confirmed forNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, it’s worth taking a look at what each character could bring to the game. Starting with Toph, she serves as one of the strongest earthbenders inAvatar: The Last Airbender. It’s likely most of her moveset will revolve around this, pummeling opponents with all sorts of boulders and heavy attacks. It will be interesting to see ifNickelodeon All-Star Brawlalso includes Toph’s ability to metalbend, considering it was an ability she learned late into theAvatarseries and used only briefly during her time onTheLegend of Korra.
Speaking ofThe Legend of Korra, Avatar Korra will likely prove to be an interesting fighter inNickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Much like Avatar Aang, Korra has control over all of the elements and a handful of other mystical powers. Just as Aang was an airbender first, Korra is primarily a waterbender, so that will likely make up a majority of her moveset. There could also be some interesting mechanics based on her ability to enter the Avatar State at will. Considering how powerful she is, there will more than likely be some expectations for Korra to become one of the more effective characters inAll-Star Brawl.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl’s rosterincludes some heavy hitters from Nickelodeon’s history. At this point, it’s hard to think of any more leaks that could come out ofNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, but there is still time until the game releases. Korra had been rumored and basically accepted as a fighter by many fans, and Toph is proving to be a pleasant surprise. Time will tell ifNickelodeon All-Star Brawlwill be able to pull out any surprises that aren’t leaked ahead of time.
