Cassidy Sig Rework
Brawlhalla devs have been gathering feedback on Cassidy and it looks like a big change is coming based on players’ complaints. Cassidy is getting an entirely new tool “while retaining the original.”
New Down Hammer changes: Cassidy will now throw her lasso and trap her opponents in it.
- Bonus: Also reworked on Globox!
New Side Hammer: Charge variant will perform the original Down Hammer tornado signature. The uncharged Side Hammer remains unchanged.
Dash Updates
Also graduating from Experimental – the startup time for backdash has been decreased both in neutral and during dash dancing to be more symmetrical with forward dash.
Now, just like forward dash, you can attack out of a backdash freely.
Other than the slightly reduced impulse speed compared to forward dash, there is no penalty for performing a backdash anymore.
Spectate Delay
Introducing a new setting in the “System Settings” menu. Spectators can now control the amount of delay when spectating a match. Select “Quality” for a 3 second delay, or “Speed” for a 1 second delay. Players on Steam can still type the launch option to accurately set their delay.
Unified Competitive Map Pool
The competitive Map pool has been unified so that 1v1s and 2v2s are the same, and increased the pool from 7 to 9 Maps.
The full pool includes:
- Small Brawlhaven
- Demon Island
- Apocalypse
- Small Fortress of Lions
- Western Air Temple
- Miami Dome
- Mishima Dojo
- Small Terminus
- Halo
Brawl of the Week: Jotunheimer’s Doom
This limited time mode has you playing in a 2v2 match that lasts only three minutes — but it’s three minutes of total chaos. There will be “dangerous, random” conditions that are determined by an Ice Giant’s dice roll to make it even crazier. Meanwhile, your team will score two points for every KO and lose one point when KO’d.
“The jötunn with the most points wins!”
- Dice & Destruction Game Mode
- 2v2
- 3 Minutes
- Most points at the end wins!
