I'm fine with them avoiding putting Arnold in over other characters. He's a pacifist. Grandma was the perfect choice honestly, I've been harping that for a while now.

That being said I doubt this is the full roster and I'm not 100% on this being legit anyway. Unless there's a hard source I'm not aware of. The amount of vets missing is concerning.

I mean yeah but I don't think that's the only factor here. Dark Danny is definitely more popular for instance. Probably the most popular villain from the show after Vlad.
Oh yeah, forgot about him. Dark Danny was like the poster child for "You wasted a perfectly good character" considering how popular he was.

You're probably right then that they wanted another female rep and chose one of the more popular ones from this show.

There's a new graphic novel that just got released that brings back Dark Danny that is supposedly good, gonna read it soon.

The first game had 25 characters after the free update and dlc. Assuming Vlad is playable this game would have a base roster of 26 characters. Considering the graphics overhaul they're doing with this sequel, we can't just assume everyone from the last game is making the cut here.
Also worth adding is that all veteran characters are getting their moves remade to make them more unique and together with Super moves, I can't imagine everyone from the first game coming back.

You pick Pookie over the main man Steely Phil?

I was not expecting the grandma from hey arnold
Ahahaha!!! OMG I was asking for Hey Arnold's grandma when the first game was rumoured/announced. I will just assume that someone read my post on here. She is the most badass character from the cartoons. Also, I'm so glad that my boy Gerald is in.

What a hit, son. I'm gonna buy this game just to kick but as grandma.

FWIW if this really is the leaked splash screen (which given both everyone's in clear detail and the artstyle's consistent across the newcomers AND the veterans who got new art, is very likely), the first game's splash art was incomplete for a while. Nigel Thornberry was only added later for some reason, so it's not impossible there are some remaining characters, although I wouldn't count on too many

It can't be the full roster, because we know Danny is still in the game and he's not on the art.

I know a lot of people probably feel like Korra makes her redundant, but man I would so much rather have Katara playable than either Azula or Zuko. I mean don't get me wrong, they're all great, but for my money Katara is the GOAT bender.

First the great graphic novel, and now Vald and Ember getting on the roster. Danny Phantom fans finally eating.

Wait, is Pookie her actual name? I remember only Arnold's grandpa calling her that and I always just thought it was an affectionate nickname for her.
Grandpa's affectionate names are canon now since shortman is Arnold's last name

I wasn't aware of this. Will have to look into it.

Wow, it warms my heart at how many Arnold's grandma fans there are here.

On top of being one of the most memorable characters from the show, she is just one of those picks that make complete sense for a brawler/fighting game.

In that sense, I'm not surprised her addition is being well received here.

I don't think the promotional art would show EVERY character. I'm sure other vets will be included.

I'm not complaining. I wanted the Angry Beavers and I got them. That alone makes this a Day 1 purchase.

Shieet. Angry Beavers! I'm all for that!

Wooow. Totally forgot this show existed till I saw this image. I watched the hell outta ChalkZone!

Also did they ever fix the Series X version of the 1st game? The screen tearing was truly horrendous, made it less enjoyable to play.

Putting only half the turtles in one game and then only the other half in the sequel sucks. Give me 4 turtles cowards!

I'd love to see MK-style digitised characters of Clarissa and Sam or Fergus, like in one of Clarissa's homemade games (or Keenan and Kel or something, if they'd have more recognition.)

Arnold's Grandma's name is Gertie. We learn it in the episode "Girl Trouble". Pookie is just a nickname.
