Patch 2.23 - Patch Notes

Welcome to Patch 2.23! We’ve uncovered a brand new Treasure Chest, added new test features, implemented some awesome new gameplay changes and ran through a batch of balance improvements to keep making Brawlhalla better and better.

The Ancient Treasure Chest Has Been Uncovered!

Chest Exclusive Skins

White Fang Gnash
Fangwild Fawn Ember
Winged Serpent Nai

New Test Features

While we’ve created a huge list of features we’re testing internally, there’s some ideas we wanted to get into your hands to try out as soon as possible.

Signature Jumping: allows you to hit the jump button while charging a signature for an aerial Signature attack. This currently does not consume your dodge.
You can now charge a Gravity Canceled signature by up to 25 frames.
Jumping off the wall is no longer a grounded jump, it is now treated as your first aerial jump.
Remove the strength then damage tiebreaker and just have moves clash.

Gameplay Changes

A change to thrown weapons disappearing sooner should make players think twice before utilizing a weapon throw. We’ve also made a number of changes to soft platforms so you’re able to fight more fluidly around and through them.

Thrown weapons will disappear much sooner after becoming inactive.
Holding down while doing an aerial attack will allow you to travel through soft platforms.
Snap to the ground attack distance cap lowered by 30%.
Snap to the ground attack additionally lowered by 50% on soft platforms to prevent accidental platform cancels.
Jump ledge canceling distance tightened on light attacks by 30%.

User Interface

"Randomize All" option added to podium picker menus inside the character select screen
Randomize option command for the picker menu has been moved to left trigger / left bracket
You can now see your teammates' picks while Blind Pick is active.
Exclusive items now appear first in the list of the grid of possible items for the chest

Clans

Added personal contributions to the clan page.
Increased clan leader board from Top 3 to Top 10.

New Legend Rotation

This week's Free Legend Rotation includes Brynn, Diana, Kor, Queen Nai, Sir Roland, and Teros.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where spectators would not update the ELO of the players.
Fixed a bug when joining a 2v2 ranked lobby would not update your ELO immediately.
Fixed a bug where the server could get in a weird state when clients disconnects early in the start game process.
Fixed bug where noskull mode was active for everyone regardless of setting on the main stage platform in Shipwreck.
Fixed bug where a character would remain move locked for what would have been the duration of the dodge if they were interrupted during the two frame dodge startup. This mostly affected moves with very little stun (such as throws or sigs done on characters with low damage).
Fixed a display bug where the color picker in Ranked 2v2 would sometimes display a selected color icon rather than the intended "locked state" for the partner.
Fixed a bug where the randomize costume/color picker would return the currently selected item.
Fixed a bug that let the combat broadcast overlap the HUD in 8 player FFA games.

Balance Changes

Sword

The Sword Recovery has quite a bit of time built in to the attack that gives it quite a lengthy recover time, so we are bringing it closer in line with other Recovery powers.

Sword Recovery: Decreased Variable Recovery from 15 to 14.

Axe

The Axe Side Light is a great set-up tool with good range. We are slightly decreasing the Damage to fall in line with its utility.

Axe Side Light: Decreased Damage from 16 to 15.

Bow

The Neutral Light and Neutral Air both provide quick coverage and solid Damage, so we are shifting power away from these attacks into the Recovery attack. This should further differentiate the Neutral Light and Neutral Air, while making the Recovery feel a bit more impactful.

Bow Neutral Light: Increased Variable Recovery on Miss from 19 to 23.
Bow Neutral Air: Decreased Damage from 21 to 20.
Bow Recovery: Increased Variable Force from 46 to 48.

Hammer

The Hammer is receiving a couple changes to its overly strong vertical power in the air. The Ground Pound hitbox better follows the animation, resulting in less horizontal threat during the attack. The Recovery is now slightly easier to punish on miss, as it was relatively easy for a Hammer user to cover their mistake.

Hammer Ground Pound: Rehitboxed to better match the animation.
Hammer Recovery: Decreased Hit Window from 7 to 5; Increased Fixed Recovery on Miss from 1 to 3.

Gauntlets

The Gauntlets Side Light's Damage could feel a bit underwhelming, particularly when used toward the end of its range. We are slightly increasing the Damage for this approach tool.

Gauntlets Side Light: Increased total Damage from 11 to 13.

Sentinel

Sentinel's kit is currently a bit too strong in certain areas; Sentinel's Side Hammer has very high Damage and Force with great range, while his Neutral Katar does relatively low Damage. We are shifting some power between these two to balance out the kit. We are also increasing the maximum charge time available on the Side Hammer to be similar to other Signatures.

Sentinel Side Hammer: Decreased Variable Force from 58 to 56; Decreased Damage from 32 to 30; Increased maximum charge duration from 47 to 74. (The standard value on most Signatures)
Sentinel Neutral Katar: Increased Damage from 15 to 18.

Queen Nai

Queen Nai is a bit too powerful at the moment, so we are trimming one of her clear outliers to fall in line with other similar attacks.

Queen Nai Side Katars: Decreased Variable Force from 61 to 59; Increased Damage from 18 to 20.

Scarlet

Scarlet is slightly over-performing expectations, so we are shifting some power within her Neutral Lance to be a little less threatening at medium damage ranges, while feeling a bit more rewarding throughout.

Scarlet Neutral Lance: Decreased Variable Force from 53 to 51; Increased Damage from 15 to 17.

Thatch

Thatch's Side Blasters has not seen much use during play, as it has a slightly longer than average Time to Hit with a medium amount of horizontal range. We are decreasing the Minimum Charge for a slightly faster Time to Hit.

Thatch Side Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge from 18 to 16.

Fixes

Scarlet's Down Lance and Ada's Neutral Blasters now follow the proper rules and are no longer able to jump during their recover time.

Scarlet Down Lance: No longer able to jump during recovery.
Ada Neutral Blasters: No longer able to jump during recovery.

Bloody Fun to pay

Helpful? Yes No Funny

best game

This game make me happy.

This is just a mere copy of smash bros, its just recommend to people who likes to pass the time.

fun.

This game is good, i enjoy it

Fantastic party fun. Pretty hectic when you play brawlball with a few friends, and it doesn't get boring. Best of all, it's 100% free. Grab this game as soon as you can. You wont be disappointed.

gay

Everyone is just spamming the same combo because it is the easies way to win.

Matchmaking gives you way higher ranked players sometimes. Just leave the game and they will have to play versus bots. You will find a new fair match really really fast.

Getting insulted by other players in this game is normal. You will get used to it:

Know super smash bros? This game is similar except you will have less fun, see more combo spammers and gettting more random insults.

Brawlhalla is cool :

PROS:

Free to play
Addictive
Skins = Swagness
Intense
Easy to play
Not a pay2win
The Friendship game

CONS:

High Ping = instant rage
Spammers
Ragers
The "ez n00b" because you lag
The Hitbox

Still a great game.
If you want to invest some money, just do it to support the devs, and if you like this game.
-> The Valhalla Pack is very cool, and worth its price.

A balanced, free PC-Version of Super Smash Bros

PC Gamers were missing a title like Super Smah Bros for a long time but Brawhalla outperforms its unofficial big brother in many aspects.
The basic elements and controls are the same or atleast similar as they used to be in SSB. As usual for a competitive game It´s kept as simple and beginer friendly as possible, but offers advanced mechanics and a wider depth with a steep learning curve. The game may lack of character (legend) variety in the sense that a lot of them use similar weapons which often have almost identical hitboxes for some moves, but that is what makes the game so special, it´s highly balanced and skill-based. The combos are more likely bound to the weapons than the legends, which means no legend will seem completely new, nor innovative but there are minor changes to some of the moves and every combination of weapons only exists once in the whole game, giving the legends their uniqueness. Besides from that the game has a great developer and community support, new legends, maps and gamemodes are constantly added to the game.
In the end, its a great competitive SSB-like game that offers up to hundreds of hours exciting content for completely free.

As an avid and competetive player of Smash Bros. Melee; I was initially skeptical of this game. Thinking that it was trying to be a Smash Bros. clone, or something of the like.
I was caught off guard by how fresh this game feels, and I'm almost hesitant to say that they improved on the Smash Bros. formula in some ways. This game is very easy to pick up, but not at all easy to master. Combos are challenging, but rewarding, characters are balanced very well (there aren't any sh*t tier legends, and every character has a fighting chance), and the weapon/item system is very interesting.
I could go on and on, but seriously, you are missing out if you don't give this gem a try.

(PS- THIS GAME HAS ZERO ASPECT OF PAY TO WIN. EVERYONE IS ON EQUAL GROUND.)
Probably my favourite game on Steam right now. 10/10
