Posted on GameMill Entertainment’s official YouTube channel, the roughly five minuteNickelodeon All-Star Brawltrailer goes in depth with the “gloomy goth girl” Lucy Loud. For those unaware, Lucy L. Loud is one of ten sisters toThe Loud Houseseries protagonist Lincoln Loud, signified by her distinctly goth appearance. Lucy is described as a highly technical character with a relatively short range, but compensates with three status variants called Scare Modes: Normal, Vampire, and Ghost. These Scare Modes can be toggled by landing a Neutral Special, with each mode altering Lucy’s special moves.
Lucy Loud’s moveset utilizes stereotypical Goth iconography: coffins, black umbrellas, and other things dealing with horror and the supernatural. Her accompanying stage is fitting as well, being the rainy and gloomy Royal Woods Cemetery featured in the Nickelodeon show. As mentioned before, Lucy Loud is the latest in an ongoing series ofNickelodeon All-Star Brawlcharacter showcase trailers. One of the other most recent showcases featuresThe Wild Thornberry’s Nigel Thornberry, who differs from Lucy Loud in quite a few ways.

The game is being made by the same team who developed the widely well-receivedSpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, so it stands to reason this new title will be equal to or even greater than its predecessor.
