We hope you enjoy this new permanent edition to the game, and may all your 2v2 brawls be filled with risky plays and gloriously coordinated combos.

addedModified Test FeaturesThis week, we're looking into pulling a final bit of power from aerial dodges by moving some recover distance from them to Recovery attacks. With this change, the variation between travel distance of the different Recovery powers becomes more meaningful, so we've brought some of the outliers like Sword closer to the middle. Some Recover Time on miss has been added to the powers that increased travel distance to adjust for their continued movement making them less punishable. Expect a number of other power adjustments over the next few weeks, including more iteration on the Recovery attacks. In particular, we plan to audit aerial powers with high active frames now that the Dodge duration is significantly reduced, and tweak ground kits to make defending against a Dash approach or a Dash jump approach a choice with clearer right and wrong options. The 4 frame startup on directional dodges has been removed. Most of the feedback on it suggested that the dodge window on a string not being the same across all options caused more confusion than it solved problems. Startup on forward Dash has been reduced by a frame to make the minimum timing for canceling it into an attack when following up a hit the same as a Chase Dodge. It also increases the relative power of Dash versus a Backdash or other defensive options

School is back in session, and Brawlhalla’s Legends are not impressed. Ada already landed herself in detention, Koji is up to no good, and Asuri just won’t stop running in the halls on her first day of class. That’s right, it’s time to go Back to School. We hope all of the goodies we’ve cooked up will help soften the blow of summer ending and homework beginning. Remember: Don’t play Brawlhalla in class. Learn from Ada’s mistakes. Have fun!

Back to School!

Detention Ada - “Being bad feels pretty good, huh?”
