**Patrick** is a playable character in *Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2*, originating from *SpongeBob SquarePants*. He was announced in the reveal trailer released on July 27th, 2023.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Patrick is a grappler bait-and-punish character focused on dealing large amounts of damage and brutally punishing any mistake an opponent makes. However, he lacks range and has a mediocre recovery overall.

### Light Attacks

* Wumbo Combo (Neutral Grounded): Spins in place.
* Belly Bump (Side Grounded): Bumps his belly forward. His old neutral light in NASB 1. DAMAGE: 15
* 3 AM! (Up Grounded): Patrick quickly swings a Krabby Patty above his head before eating it.
* Toot Laser (Down Grounded): Patrick fires a laser from his pants.
* Star Spin (Dash Attack): A cartwheel attack.
* Free Form Jazz (Neutral Aerial): Does a belly pose whilst spreading his arms/legs out.
* Side Kick (Forward Aerial): Does a forward kick, akin to his old neutral air in NASB 1.
* Tantrum (Back Aerial): Patrick throws a tantrum by padding his legs. Hits multiple times.
* Table Flip (Up Aerial): Patrick flips a table, which acts as a constant projectile that bounces along the ground rather than a standard attack. DAMAGE: 8 (Table), 14 (Arms)
* I wanna do some kicking (Down Aerial): A downwards kick attack.

### Strong Attacks

* No! This is Patrick! (Side Grounded): Patrick slams a phone down in front of him.
* Gimme That Hat! (Up Grounded): Patrick shakes a coat rack above his head as if he’s choking it. Hits multiple times.
* Steel Buns (Down Grounded): Patrick slams butt-first onto the ground while wearing steel buns; letting you avoid low-hanging attacks. He can also land on any platforms close enough to the ground.
* I'm Gonna Starve (Side Aerial): Chomps down, sending Patrick forward a short distance.
* Star Spin (Up Aerial): A powerful horizontal spinning attack. Gives a small vertical boost that can help with recovery.
* Single Scoop Strawberry Cone (Down Aerial): Patrick wears an ice cream cone and falls toward the ground head-first. You can grab the ledge during this move.

### Special Attacks

* Double Lariat (Neutral): Patrick becomes incredibly muscular and performs a spinning lariat. As of Update 1.3, the move now reflects projectiles.
	+ Slime Version: The move becomes much larger and gains super armor.
* Hugdriver (Side): Patrick gives his opponent a bear hug before leaping into the air and slamming them on the ground. DAMAGE: 15
	+ Slime Version: The move gains super armor.
* I'm Already a Star (Up): Patrick halts in mid-air and flies forward in whatever direction the player is holding. Any opponent in his path is grabbed and thrown. DAMAGE: 12
	+ Slime Version: The move travels further.
* Counter Star Slam (Down): Patrick initiates a battle stance. If he’s attacked during this, he counters by slamming the opponent on the ground three times. If you counter a projectile, you’ll instead dash forward.
	+ Slime Version: Deals more damage.

### Throws

* Forward Throw: Patrick leans back before tossing the opponent forward with great force.

## Role in Campaign
