'''''Just your average Joe. Not to be confused with a kangaroo.''''' | |||
Rocko Rama is the title character of ''Rocko's Modern Life.'' A jovial Australian immigrant, Rocko moves to the American city of O-Town with his dog, Spunky. From there, his life becomes a series of (mis)adventures in trying to adapt to his new surroundings, often helped (or not) by his friends, Heffer and Filburt. | |||
== Playstyle == | |||
Rocko is a zoner, and an amazing one at that. While most characters are content getting in your face and getting their combos in, Rocko's not about that life: he'd rather summon Spunky and Jack(the)Hammer using his special attacks and attacking when you least expect it. Rocko possesses amazing stage control abilities and can wall you out better than most. In addition, he has some nasty strong attacks for securing the stock when he's walled you out long enough. | |||
If you like sitting back and controlling the pace of the match, Rocko is the wallaby for you! | |||
== Metagame == | |||
Rocko is ranked 7th out of 29 on the current [[Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2/FAQ|tier list]], in the S tier. This is a noticeable improvement over his 12th out of 25 placement in the first [[Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl]]. | |||
Rocko possesses a potent zoning game, with Spunky and Jackhammer allowing him to take control of the stage very quickly. This is further helped by his aerial attacks, with Light Neutral Air allowing him to keep opponents out at a quick pace. Rocko also possesses a very strong edgeguarding game, with Strong Neutral Air killing fairly early, and being able to combo into itself. | |||
However, Rocko does possess some flaws. Notably, his combo game isn't as strong as his other qualities, and he is a lightweight, which means if the opponent gets in on him, he can be knocked out fairly easily. Rocko has also had a historically tough time with bugs, due to his nature as a puppet character. | |||
Rocko has been a consistent character in the metagame all throughout, having strong representation both in online events and offline majors. | |||

* ''' | * '''Defensive Beast:''' Rocko has some of the best defensive tools in the game and can control the pace of the match to his content. This is a great contrast to other strong characters in this game who are more offensive than defensive, and makes Rocko a very puzzling character to fight for some players. | ||
* ''' | * '''Zoning:''' Spunky and Jackhammer are some of the best zoning tools in the game. Spunky in particular can be thrown to throw players off your scent. | ||
* ''' | * '''Small:''' Rocko is a short little guy. This means in addition to his wall of projectiles, he is also not the easiest character to hit. | ||
* ''' | * '''Fantastic get off mes:''' Rocko has fantastic aerials and normals to push his opponent away from him if they do happen to get in. | ||
* '''Amazing strong attacks:''' The majority of Rocko's strong attacks are all fast and kill early. In addition, Neutral Strong has a windbox, so even if your opponent blocks, you can pressure them safely. | |||
* '''Safe''': Rocko's biggest strength. A majority of his toolkit is very easy to use and will keep the opponent at bay for the whole match. | |||
|cons= | |cons= | ||
* ''' | * '''Not many combos:''' Don't be mistaken, Rocko has ''some'' combos, many of which are great, but if you're looking for a particularly flashy character that has strong offensive prowess, you might as well go to the left and pick Tigre instead. | ||
* '''Light:''' While Rocko can live for a while due to his safe wall setups, he is quite easy to swat when you eventually do get in on him. | |||
* ''' | * '''Buggy:''' Rocko is occasionally plagued with nasty glitches depending on the patch. This can either alter how he plays significantly or just be a minor problem. | ||

* | * Rocko swings his rolling pin in a circle around him. | ||
* | * The initial hit is on frames 4-5, and hits in front of and below Rocko. It has a more vertical launch angle than the late hit. | ||
* The late hit is on frames 6-14, and covers a wide arc behind Rocko below, behind, and even above him, going from the ground to above a platform at shorthop height. It has about a 45 degree launch. | |||
* Active frames end before the pin reaches straight above Rocko, leaving a blindspot diagonally above and in front of him | |||
* Because of the disjointed range, wide arc, and active frames of neutral air, it's the go to spacing move for Rocko, especially since his other light aerials don't have huge hitboxes. | |||

Compared to a lot of other characters, Rocko is fairly unusual to the naked eye. Rocko is not a particularly complex character, but he is unorthodox and simple compared to a lot of the cast. While he is absolutely not without a combo game, he doesn't do anything particularly flashy with his normals, and a lot of them, such as his Jab, Forward Light, and both Neutral Strongs, smack the opponent away rather than keep them in close quarters. This is because Rocko is one of NASB 2's premier zoner characters, and his main goal is to keep his opponent away within a safe distance from him at all times. Rocko is all about space and controlling the tempo of the match. | |||
Spunky is your best friend as Rocko, true to the character. You can use Neutral Special again or hit him to change his direction, grab him and throw him in all 4 directions you are able to as your opponent (you can even pummel him to mix up the timing), or use him at the same time as Down Special to make the jackhammer more unpredictable. Spunky respawns very fast on hit as well, which means Rocko usually has access to an approaching active hitbox at all times against his opponent. The opponent can hit Spunky to knock him out for a short time, but this then leaves them open to being punished by Rocko. | |||
While combos aren't what Rocko is centered around, he isn't without them Rocko's main combo tools are his light aerials, since his grounded lights usually push the opponent away from him (though Down Light is good as a confirm into a combo.) | |||
* Up Air Light is a great juggle tool. Main go-to for combos. | |||
* Down Air Light is capable of pillar comboing from a throw. | |||
* You can also use Spunky to lead into confirms, as mid-combo he's a fairly active hitbox thats useful for restarting. | |||
* | Rocko has some of the most versatile strongs in the game as well: | ||
* | * His Neutral Strong is an extremely powerful kill tool, and even if it whiffs, the windbox on it can still push the opponent away and keep Rocko safe from a counterattack. Similarly, the air version is also very threatening, especially offstage. | ||
* | * Down Air Strong is quite interesting as it also doubles as a projectile: the ball spawns and descends vertically as Rocko uses the move. This means it's extremely useful for edgeguarding, and even maintaining space onstage as it's hard to catch Rocko while he's using it in the air. | ||
* Up Strong launches him in the air and is extremely powerful on the ascent. The descent also has a hitbox, though it's not as powerful. Great for use out of a spotdodge. | |||
The name of the game with Rocko is stage control and defense. Spunky, of course, is his main way of accomplishing this, but also jackhammer. Both are extremely disruptive and make it easier for Rocko to not interact with the opponent. Rocko himself isn't very interactive: you will spend a lot of time running away from your opponent in the air or via wavedashing. Rocko has pretty average stats, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem if you play your cards right. His light aerials and especially strongs aid in walling out the opponent further. | |||
Momentum is also a major factor to consider when playing Rocko. At an advantage, time is very much on your side. If you have the upper hand, it's best to just annoy your opponent with your projectiles and only interact when necessary. However, if you don't have the upper hand, or are down a stock (or more), it can be much more difficult, as Rocko doesn't have a ton of true confirms into any of his strong attacks, which means you might be going into panic mode and lose your cool looking for an option. '''Every neutral win counts.''' | |||
Recovery isn't a huge issue for Rocko, but it is fairly plain and linear, making it predictable, so mixing it up is necessary. Side Special is good after a jump horizontally, or just point blank, and Up Special is his main vertical recovery tool. It doesn't shoot up particularly far, but it is reliable. EX gives it a considerable boost in height, which means if you have a bar, might as well use it. | |||
Speaking of, Rocko's meter usage isn't particularly big. Aside from the recovery as mentioned before, it mostly comes down to the essentials such as Burst. Slime cancelling from his aerials might be useful for you if you need a confirm, but his Specials don't get too much of a boost, and are mostly situational. Rocko's meter build isn't particularly big either due to his nature of not interacting with the opponent. | |||
Overall, Rocko is a very plain defensive zoner. His mantra is simple - "Stay out." Absolute mastery of the character is optimizing his stage control and knowing when its best to engage and (especially) disengage. | |||

About
Just your average Joe. Not to be confused with a kangaroo.
Rocko Rama is the title character of Rocko's Modern Life. A jovial Australian immigrant, Rocko moves to the American city of O-Town with his dog, Spunky. From there, his life becomes a series of (mis)adventures in trying to adapt to his new surroundings, often helped (or not) by his friends, Heffer and Filburt.
Playstyle
Rocko is a zoner, and an amazing one at that. While most characters are content getting in your face and getting their combos in, Rocko's not about that life: he'd rather summon Spunky and Jack(the)Hammer using his special attacks and attacking when you least expect it. Rocko possesses amazing stage control abilities and can wall you out better than most. In addition, he has some nasty strong attacks for securing the stock when he's walled you out long enough.
If you like sitting back and controlling the pace of the match, Rocko is the wallaby for you!
Metagame
Rocko is ranked 7th out of 29 on the current tier list, in the S tier. This is a noticeable improvement over his 12th out of 25 placement in the first Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
Rocko possesses a potent zoning game, with Spunky and Jackhammer allowing him to take control of the stage very quickly. This is further helped by his aerial attacks, with Light Neutral Air allowing him to keep opponents out at a quick pace. Rocko also possesses a very strong edgeguarding game, with Strong Neutral Air killing fairly early, and being able to combo into itself.
However, Rocko does possess some flaws. Notably, his combo game isn't as strong as his other qualities, and he is a lightweight, which means if the opponent gets in on him, he can be knocked out fairly easily. Rocko has also had a historically tough time with bugs, due to his nature as a puppet character.
Rocko has been a consistent character in the metagame all throughout, having strong representation both in online events and offline majors.
