As All-Star Brawl 2 is tied to Nickelodeon's virtual universe, the game can only release a limited number of characters in the future.

5) Fighting mechanics:

For those familiar with the Super Smash Bros. series, certain elements of Multiversus' battle gameplay may not be satisfying. You cannot block or grab your opponent in this game, but you can evade their attacks.

You can also power up each fighter individually, leveling them up to gain unique abilities and other enhancements that can then be used in combat. In return, these items reward you with Perks that increase your character's strength or support capabilities.

Such features are not present among characters in All-Star Brawl 2.
