I love some content about season two predictions. How they’ll handle axle and Mr. Grim. How they may handle the tournament or new characters or what side characters we may see and fun ways to introduces them!
Good list, Nick! I'll offer my personal top 10 and bonus thoughts: 10. Roadkill - a TM icon easily best in TM Black as you've said, but is also really good in 2012 and TM1 too. 9. Warthog - personally I greatly prefer the station wagon/tank tread design for Warthog over the military humvee, so TM Black again is my favorite version of Warthog. 8. Spectre - if we're counting bosses, Minion (TM2 version) would be here, but as it is, Spectre at #8 is known for portraying iconic sports cars with it's famous ghost missiles, and I think the original TM1 Spectre is my favorite. 7. Thumper - solid in every game, my favorite version of the lowrider is easily TM2 since his flamethrower special is **so strong** in that game, but shout-out to its design in TM4 too. 6. Sweet Tooth - the mascot of the whole series, I think he's best (not counting TM4) in 2012 with the Laughing Ghost special, heavy armor, and lots of ram damage (and that's how I play, completely ignoring the Sweet Bot form of him, too)... honorable mention to the original TM1 version of him too, though! 5. Darkside - the ramming champ of TM, while I respect how overpowered he is in Small Brawl, the blue design doesn't quite fit so I give the edge to its 2012 version where the design is great and the game's physics and weight make it so much fun to bodyslam into enemies and watch them get launched through the air with massive damage (whereas Small Brawl feels a lot more floaty)... Dollface in Black deserves a shout-out too though as an all-time favorite character and story! 4. Shadow - this purple hearse to me perfectly embodies what the vibe of TM is all about and is great in every game; I love its design in 2012, the driver Raven in Black, its broken special power TM2, and how Shadow is one of the rare recurring characters to have never been screwed over by Calypso. 3. Axel - so creative and unique in the best way possible, strongest in TM2 but I love how sharp it looks in 2012, its story of being a self-torture machine in Black, and how badass it looks with spikes in TM4 too. 2. Mr. Grimm - at its best its lack of armor matters very little when considering how quick and powerful he is, most-so in TM2 where you can nearly two-shot all enemies with its special, but I also love the human cannibal character in Black and how well that represents the game its in. 1. Mr. Slam - as I wrote in the Discord, Slam is so fun to me for being able to grab your enemies and just slam them repeatedly in the ground, so much feel-good caveman-brain fun best represented in its TM2 debut, but can be just as good and fun in Small Brawl too!
I have a response to your list: For thumper they weren't as good in Head-on as you know since they weren't as tanky as they normally are and their special got butchered a bit.
It’s cool to see how each game has different broke top tiers and how they all function to abuse the mechanics of the game to their advantage. These videos act as great food for thought and discussion in the community. Personally I would definitely have to pick Warthog as the overall best character to run through the tournament with in Black. His damage output is just light years beyond what any other character can produce, especially on hard mode. Once you learn how to deal with the AI and get them trapped you can just nuke them with that flamethrower when you combine it with other weapons and especially mega guns. On top of that he’s also among the most heavily armored cars in the game, with the best handling for making sharp turns right next to Axel. There’s a very good reason he’s the best speedrun character for this game. Keep doing your thing Nick. These videos are good for the community.
9:44 Why wouldn't you ram them before using "Axel power?" The combo is ram, Axel power so they can't drive off, turbo ram again, and then axel power as they are trying to drive off.
I just had to add my top 10 aftrr seeing this. Here they are in decending order: 10. Sweettooth TM2 9. Roadkill TM1 8. Pizza Boy TM4 7. Club Kid TM3 6. Outlaw TM Black 5. Spectre TM2 4. Shadow TM Black 3. Thumper TM3 2. Axel TM2 1. Roadkill TM2
For Small Brawl Twister, she has 1/10 armor based on testing along with mime and grimm, 2/10 armor is crimson fury, spectre and warthopper. Twister and Crimson Fury imo are the best from those 2 armor classes, they both are fast and have good specials
Mr. 8 won?! Proud of my boy! I picked on him in my recent playthroughs when playing against him. lol He was always driving around site seeing like he was on vacation or something. Was always the easiest to fight against, BUT TO PLAY AS HOWEVER...ya'll better run for your f****** life! Mr. 8 is great, he'll send a shock to your face! ⚡️
Being Irish I am very disappointed that Micro Blast isn’t on this list. Guess he just couldn’t Measure Up to the competition. Was such a Low Blow. Maybe next time he will Rise to fame.
Top 3 predictions Mr. Grimm for the high risk, high reward playstyle amd infamous special. Spectre for the ghost missiles alone, don't even need to see your enemies, just point in their direction. Sweettooth for the durability and above average specials that always tend to have good tracking. On top of the fact the car has become a transformer at this point.
I love thumper but TBH you need a bit of skill to really use his special effectively. If you don't first freeze the enemy his special is sorta useless to new players.
Not a "best" character by definition of powerlevel, but I've always been a fan of Grasshopper. Plus it being a weak vehicle always makes the playthroughs more difficult. I do hope they bring them back for future titles and give them a halfway decent showing though.

How about a "best and worst incarnation of each character" list?
that's a good idea
Seriously when is the whole world going to stop pretending that TM 2012 & Small Brawl isn't a good game. They are both fun.

Who do you think is going to be in season two of the TV show? Aside from who they actively showed us to be confirmed for the tournament?

What about top 10 best drivers in Twisted Metal?
Had no idea Twister was so good in small brawl, I need to try her out lol.
Can't really argue with that. I'd definitely would have put Darkside (SB) or Shadow(TM2) at the top myself but a pretty solid list overall.

9. Roadkill TM1
8. Pizza Boy TM4

Now make one for which AI is the strongest.
Also where auger? He might drill ya from behind for not putting him on here

I heard there will be the newest version of this game recently.
hell yea dark side made to the list (i forgot add from 2012 in discord)
I need get small brawl to try that dark side
Being Irish I am very disappointed that Micro Blast isn’t on this list. Guess he just couldn’t Measure Up to the competition. Was such a Low Blow. Maybe next time he will Rise to fame.
Top 3 predictions
Mr. Grimm for the high risk, high reward playstyle amd infamous special.
Spectre for the ghost missiles alone, don't even need to see your enemies, just point in their direction.
Sweettooth for the durability and above average specials that always tend to have good tracking. On top of the fact the car has become a transformer at this point.
If you had to put in a honorable mention for head-on what would it be? Lets say without the upgrades which one would you consider the best non-boss?
Slam
Great Video!!!
No thumper? He’s broken in every game he’s in.
I love thumper but TBH you need a bit of skill to really use his special effectively. If you don't first freeze the enemy his special is sorta useless to new players.

im glad u arent one of those elitist jaffe fanboys that just bandwagon on tm3 and tm4 to fit in. your opinions are much more well-rounded
Character and cars. Some of us know the difference. Label the video titles accordingly.
Eat my a$$ lmao (Had to censor myself thanks to youtube's guidelines)
842 I agree 😂😂😂
Please. We all know the best character in the series is ATV from Head-On. /s
🤣🚴♀
