00:00 Hey, everyone, Jake Steinberg, GameXplain editor and frequent sore loser in Platform Fighters here
00:06 to walk you through the rowdy, angry beaver duo from way out of town, Daggett and Norbert,
00:14 because they are partnering up and combining their strengths in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.
00:20 Daggett and Norbert have a unique ability as part of their moveset that really puts the dynamic
00:25 in dynamic duo. Tag Out. With this move, the beavers can swap between each other on command
00:32 to take advantage of either Daggett's quick speed and potent combo game or Norbert's superior range
00:37 and strength. Simply swapping back and forth between beavers isn't the full extent of what
00:44 this duo has to offer. However, they are neutral and side specials both call in the other beaver
00:51 to offer some assistance, and you can even tag out while these attacks are active for some tricky
00:57 movement and crazy combo extensions. As powerful as this ability may be, you still have to be
01:04 careful. If Daggett or Norbert gets hit after they've been called in for an assist,
01:09 they'll take a bit of damage and they won't be able to tag out for a few seconds. Besides Tag
01:14 Out, each beaver has totally different special moves and by extension assists. When controlling
01:20 Daggett, their side special brings out Norbert to perform Mashed Potatoes Blast. This move is a bit
01:28 inaccurate from afar and also can be blocked by platforms, but it's still a great way to compensate
01:34 for Daggett's own lack of range. When controlling Norbert, their side special instead becomes
01:40 Chainsaw Chomp. With this attack, Daggett is sent out forwards to gnaw at their opponents,
01:46 dragging them with him. If this move hits and you're feeling a bit fancy, this would be a
01:52 perfect time to tag out and keep the combo going. As for Daggett and Norbert's neutral specials,
01:58 when playing as Daggett, Norbert gives a cheers to the new years and launches a beam across the
02:04 screen, launching opponents upwards for a follow-up. While not as long-lasting as Mashed
02:10 Potatoes Blast, this move covers a lot of space horizontally. The final assist in their moveset,
02:16 Hidden Logs, the assist provides an excellent way to pressure a retreating or overly defensive
02:22 opponent and since Daggett stays out for a considerable amount of time, you're given a
02:27 chance to tag out to his position after trying to find an opening. Keep in mind that this does make
02:33 it easier to hit Daggett and disable their tag out ability for a short duration, and the rockets
02:39 do not follow the target if they're closer than where the previous rocket landed. Essentially,
02:45 the rockets won't hit an approaching target. Daggett's up special has really great horizontal
02:52 reach for getting back to the stage, but if you want a little extra mobility, his charged horizontal
02:59 aerial attack, Silent Wind of Doom, launches him forward with a fierce kick. Norbert's recovery is
03:07 generally a bit worse despite having greater vertical reach with his up special, which also
03:13 delivers a powerful lightning fast strike to opponents right next to him. Playing solo as
03:20 either beaver is a perfectly viable option, but with all of the trickery available through their
03:26 assists and tagging out mid-combo, you'll definitely see moments where it pays off to
03:31 learn how to play both of them. If Daggett's mobility isn't enough to be the difference maker,
03:36 you might want to rely on Norbert and his golf club to keep opponents out or to control space
03:43 with hidden logs. If you are up for the challenge of playing two characters at once and want to try
03:52 out a unique assist-based fighter, then the angry beavers Daggett and Norbert are waiting for you
03:59 in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.
