Rocko Rama is a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, originating from Rocko’s Modern Life. He was announced on July 27th, 2023.

Moveset[]

Playstyle[]

Rocko is a zoner with small range on his normals, but he can take control of the stage with his projectiles. His flaws are his mediocre recovery, lack of killpower, and, as said before, low range.

Light Attacks[]

O-Punch (Neutral Grounded): Punches forward. DAMAGE: 4
Wallaby Kick (Side Grounded): Rocko balances on his tail and kicks forward. DAMAGE: 8
Losing It (Up Grounded): Rocko's brain springs out of his head. A good anti-air tool. DAMAGE: 7
Clean Lovin' (Down Grounded): Rocko mops the floor, with Spunky attached. You can repeatedly press the button to keep the attack going. DAMAGE: 8
Abdominal Snowmonkey Defense 101 (Neutral Aerial): Swings a rolling pin in a circle. Covers all around him and is overall his best spacing tool. DAMAGE: 7
Tail Slap (Forward Aerial): Slaps his tail forward. Low range but a good combo tool. DAMAGE: 7
Karate Lesson (Back Aerial): Rocko does a karate kick. DAMAGE: 13
The Insensitive Selfish (Up Aerial): Punches multiple times upward while wearing boxing gloves. Now a juggle tool instead of a kill option. DAMAGE: 9
Bat Bonk (Down Aerial): Swings a rolling pin downward. Slow to come out, but a good spike. DAMAGE: 7

Strong Attacks[]

SHUT UP! (Side Grounded): Screams at the opponent. This move also has a slight windbox. DAMAGE: 14 (Sweet), 10 (Sour)
Family's Pogo Stick (Up Grounded): Rocko jumps upward on his prized family pogo stick. The upward arc has more power, while the downward arc is weaker but easier to hit overall. Using it offstage will result in a self-destruct without slime cancelling. DAMAGE: 14 (Up), 9 (Down)
Maintenance Hammer (Down Grounded): Rocko slams downward with a hammer. A pretty basic and powerful attack, but also slow. DAMAGE: 15
The Scream from the Opening (Side Aerial): Rocko freaks out, his eyes springing out of his head. This move also has a slight windbox. Very similar to his grounded version, but with slightly more range. DAMAGE: 15 (Sweet), 10 (sour)
Sad Crying Clown In An Iron Lung (Up Aerial): Rocko pulls out a rare painting of a Sad Crying Clown in an Iron Lung and swings it upward. DAMAGE: 14
Gutter Ball (Down Aerial): Rocko pulls out a plunger with a bowling ball attached and drops the bowling ball downward. The bowling ball acts as a falling projectile and a ledge option. DAMAGE: 7

Special Attacks[]

Spunky (Neutral): Rocko sends out his faithful dog Spunky to attack any opponent in his way. If Rocko hits Spunky or presses the neutral special button again, Spunky will turn around. You or your opponents can also pick up and throw Spunky for additional power but smaller distance. If an opponent hits Spunky, he will be stunned for a short bit before disappearing. DAMAGE: 10 (Base), 12 (Thrown)
- Slime Version: Spunky goes faster and bounces along the stage.
Suck-O-Matic (Side): Rocko hops on the Suck-O-Matic; which goes forward and sucks up and opponents and launches them away. This can be used as a recovery tool as well, and can be jump cancelled. The grab launches forward for average knockback. It is a hit grab. DAMAGE: 10
- Slime Version: The Suck-o-Matic stays in place, but the radius is much larger, as well as being a command grab, ignoring shields. DAMAGE: 6 (Hit), 16 (Throw)
Conglom-O Rocket (Up): Rocko pulls out a firework rocket, sending him flying high, before he falls to the ground. The rise is slow while the fall is very fast. A risky move to use as the fall will inevitably result in a self-destruct without slime cancelling, but is still a decent recovery due to it's height.
- Slime Version: The rocket sends Rocko a little higher.
Jackhammer (Down): Rocko pulls out his trusty jackhammer, which moves around very randomly. If the opponent makes contact with the jackhammer, they will get hit multiple times. Spunky can be placed on top of the jackhammer, allowing it to go faster as well as gained power. DAMAGE: 5 (per hit)
- Slime Version: The Jackhammer moves forwards instead of moving randomly. Spunky will still make the movement random.

Throws[]

Grab: Rocko spins the opponent on his finger as if they were a basketball.
Pummel: Rocko dribbles the opponent. DAMAGE: 1
Forward Throw: Rocko chucks the opponent forward. DAMAGE: 10
Back Throw: Rocko chucks the opponent backwards. DAMAGE: 10
Up Throw: Rocko throws the opponent-ball upwards as if he's shooting for a hoop.
Down Throw: Rocko dunks the opponent towards the floor.

Other[]

Wallaby On Wheels (Dash Attack):Rocko skates forward, slipping and falling over. DAMAGE: 9
Super Attack: Rocko channels his inner Mr. Smitty and yells at the opponent(s), sending them outside of Kind of a Lot-o-Comics, where they are hit by various objects (a truck, a bullet train, a large boat, and then a meteor) and ending with a giant hand flicking the opponent.

With Vlad Plasmius[]

"Um, excuse me... but isn't this all rather... uncalled for?" (first encounter)
"That was a very dangerous day!" (after losing)
"I would kneel, but I wouldn't want to scrape my knees, you know." (Rematch against the first fight with Vlad)
"Well look at that. Nice guys don't always finish last after all. Unless... you're not actually a nice guy, are you?" (first encounter, after win)
"How rude! I would think if you were really a ghost clone, you'd just say so." (finding out Vlad was a clone)
"Aaahhhh!!" (watching the universe being destroyed for the first time)
"I do hope we can put this whole awkward "destroying the universe" business behind us." (Confronting Vlad for the second time)
"Why that's very kind of you to say so. I'll still have to beat you though, you know." (Rematch against the second fight with Vlad)
"Oh look at that. I guess this means your days of evil scheming are over. Just one thing... can you send us home now?" (After defeating Vlad for the second time)
"Oh dear. Victory day is a very dangerous day. Now what will I do?" (Asking Clockwork to save him after Vlad's machine malfunctions and destroys the universe a second time)
"I see your point but one little thing: you are quite the bad baddie!" (Confronting Vlad for the third time)
"My, what an intimidating and painfully long speech!" (Refusing to listen to Vlad)
"Sorry about the machine. Had no choice, really. So how about being a good sport and you know... surrendering?" (Telling Vlad to give up after disabling his machine)
"Let's not get back on this merry-go-round, mister. Take it from me, they can be dangerous!" (Rematch against the third fight with Vlad)
"Oh dear. I'm afraid it was unavoidable. I do want to get home and stopping your evil plan seemed to be the only way." (After defeating Vlad for the third time)
"Oh dear. I don't like the look of that at all." (Watching the universe be destroyed a third time)
"Oh my... excuse me, Mr. Ghost. But... what brings you here?" (Asking Vlad why he is in the Timeless Stardial)
"Um, excuse me, but what exactly do you mean "trapped?" If you're here, then I beat you and saved the universe after all." (Wondering why Clockwork would leave him and Vlad trapped in the Timeless Stardial)
"I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I am glad I could help save the universe and all..." (Talking to Vlad after defeating Clockwork)
"You're saying you didn't want everything to go boom? I find that hard to believe." (Doubting Vlad's intentions)
"It's hard to believe that you were trying to help, you know." (After Vlad insisted he was going to fix his machine)
"Nice try, but that doesn't change the fact that you took control of my mind." (After hearing Vlad's side of the story)
"I do hope you're ready to make up for what you've done." (Expecting Vlad to atone for his actions)
"You really shouldn't do that, but if you do... I feel pretty good about my chances against you." (Telling Vlad he'll keep beating him in future encounters)
"Wow! This was great!" (after defeating Vlad in a post-game rematch)

With Clockwork[]

"Spunky!!!" (after Clockwork tells him that Vlad's machine would destroy the universe)
"This is a fine mess. Now you've got me all out of sorts." (after learning that Clockwork knew Vlad was a ghost clone)
"Now that is just plain rude. Appreciated, I guess, but rude!" (Clockwork apologising for his deception)
"Oh my, you're looking a little pink there, my friend..." (After finding Clockwork, but realising there is something wrong with him)
"That is quite a generous offer, but who'll feed Spunky? Thank you, but I think I'll return home instead." (Refusing to accept his offer to return to the Timeless stardial)
"Well, he certainly seemed quick to anger, didn't he?" (After Evil Clockwork disappears)
"Well, wasn't that nice of him to invite me over like that?" (Being challenged by Evil Clockwork)
"I'm sure a little smashing never hurt anyone... but you have. Instead of carrying on, let's go back to the Timeless Stardial, shall we? You must be exhausted from being evil by now!" (Begging Clockwork to return to the Timeless Stardial to undo the effects of Vlad's machine)
"I'd say you were a few bricks shy of a full load... but I think someone stole all your bricks!" (Before starting the final battle with Clockwork)
"That was not what I'd call the time of my life." (After being defeated by Clockwork)
"Thank you. I think I'll just sit this one out." (Rematch with Clockwork)
"Now that wasn't very fair of you, was it?" (Clockwork replenishes his health bar)
"SHAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAP!!!" (Being granted the power to defeat Clockwork)
"Huzzah! You're back. I can't tell you how relieved I am." (Freeing Clockwork from mind control"
"So the real story comes out. Why didn't you say something before?" (Clockwork explaining how he was affected by Vlad's machine)
"Perhaps you didn't count on the fact that I'm not a dog but a wallaby!" (after defeating Clockwork in a post-game rematch)

Miscellaneous[]

"Why I bet you and Spunky would be best pals!" (When meeting Gary)
"How wonderful! Perhaps this isn't the end after all!" (After being given an energy dampener by Nora Wakeman)
