At first I wasn't sure about the new rule change using health but after watching the first 5 min I actually agree with the change. From what I observed the ball does more damage based off of ball speed. You lose a chunk of health whenever you get hit. Your health begins to flash to indicate to the player that if the ball hits them at that current speed that they will lose a stock/life. It's a surprisingly simple and elegant solution that allows the game to be a bit more forgiving when compared to lethal league 1. Great job @Team Reptile Edit: Also Woolie is wrong. Throwing the ball is a new feature in Blaze, it was not present at all in Lethal League 1
It's a "what killed me" rage counter and I think it works ok. It kinda takes away the divekick suspense, but I think it's a good choice for match flow.
In the original it just felt lame when you had a couple bursts where the ball never got to get to a decent speed. The faster the ball the more fun I tended to be having so I'm happy bursts can't end suddenly when the ball is still slow.
there was no HP in the first one, everything was insta death. the environments used to be 2d with 2d character sprites, now everything is 3d models and 3d stages. Grabbing the ball is also new, the first one only had hits and bunts and the Y button was used for taunting.
I agree, having health was a good change. There were way too many times where I got killed going for the ball at the same instant as my opponent. I like the catching mechanic as a way to fake out your opponent.
The more I looked at it the more I thought the throwing was new. Throwing and health do introduce new strategies though as throwing is like a shotgun, while health allows for you to chip at your opponents health and gives a reason to also charge up for a better reason than just style points.
The Switch is a VERY solid system. Not the most powerful graphically but it has plenty of power in system handling. I have yet to see the system struggle to keep up when a lot is happening on screen.
Sonicfalcon16 no brawls had much games like Mario kart,perfect dark and Mario party I don’t know why they stopped honestly because they were always pretty entertaining and I would love to see them play super Mario party because they only played one of the crappy ones
The game is pretty intuitive and the controls are responsive. It’s no surprise how quickly they got a handle on the basics. I wish they had the “how to play 2” unlocked so they could learn tech like parrying and parry countering.
@@gintasylv6457 he made the soundtrack for jetset radio which heavily inspired this games artstyle, and they have a person in roller skates named jet but i dont know who thats linked too.
all 3 of them are muppets. Liam's a muppet too but he felt anxious about being the only one among them without fully articulated hands. So he started his own stream.
Fun Fact: (if i remember correctly) The creators of Lethal League consider all the ships and the doujins of the characters in the game CANON. Let that sink in. Also, if i am completely wrong, you can blow me up in comments.
Little do they know bunt makes the ball slower, but if you bunt a ball thats already pausing everything or screen turns black, there won't be a pause if you hit the ball after the bunt and the ball will just go fast while staying deadly.
For anyone wondering, a full powered ground attack or a forward air are both smash attacks. A smash doubles the speed of the ball, while a regular hit only increases it by 1. The ball takes longer to launch depending on how much speed it has and how much you are adding, so when the ball is flying at around super fast you can either try and take control and double the speed making even harder to hit or go for a rapid-fire launch.
This might get buried in the comments but there a few systems not touched in here that add some depth to the game: - To avoid Pat's technique of point-blank shots on fast balls, you can spend a bit of meter to parry, by pressing Bunt during Hitlag. This shields the ball from a hit and you can hold it to delay the Hitlag. -To counter THAT, the new Grab mechanic beats parrying, so you can fake out your opponent. -No need to predict the ball launch, the Boombox at the bottom charges the volume after an attack. When the bar is full, the ball will fly - Every character has a movement quirk plus a double jump that they barely used. Switch rides walls and the ceiling, Raptor has a walljump, Candyman jumps high, Jet hovers, etc. - The ball only doubles speed by Aerial Attacks with a direction, Charged Attacks and after a bunt. The game is pretty Amazing and feels much more balanced than the last one, please give this one a try!
Some food for thought, you can continue your special for every time you hit the ball after the special was activated. This was in the previous game as well, this is especially effective with candymains
the pauseless hit in your first match was cause of the power attack, Charging until it released by itself. when you power attack it cancels a lot of the hitlag, just like when you bunt and then hit.
Okay, goddamn. EVERY SINGLE TIME I see the gameplay where they get into those high speeds... My heart can't take it. It just can't. It's too good. Like, those holds are the BEST. And then there's a shake, then the color palette changes, THEN IT BECOMES NEGATIVE Too good. How can such a simple game be so hype. It should totally be an e-sport, man
For heads up, the new mechanics are the grabs, the health, and the fact that all characters have a straight down angle they can hit. Also there's a way to parry that the tutorial still doesn't teach you for some goddamn reason (was hoping they'd throw that in since the last game didnt teach it either). Hit bunt while in the hitstun and you'll parry anyone swinging at you and fill your special meter when successful. If you wanna see what high tier gameplay looks like, there's a 150 person tournament tomorrow and top 8's getting streamed on twitch
New to your channel somewhat, Jet Set Radio was my literal first console video game I ever owned. It was literal surprise when I heard you guys talking about it.
I really appreciate that they didn't change the original track for the asylum stage that much (There's a new layer of instrumentation). Ordinary Days is my favourite track in the game.
I don't know if anyone's commented it yet, but the reason the charge was so short for the last shot of the first match was because he was pre-holding the button to charge before he got possession
I need this game ! Dude, that hype level which constantly growing with the speed of the ball is enourmes and especially the effects that pushes this hype into the next level is god like . Im down to say that this is the true next gen multiplayer experience that we needed in a long time! Leathal Leauge blaze is just Goty for sure !
Woolie: "This might be my main over here." *mouses over final boss*
Typical Woolie.
He actually moused over Nitro. Besides, Doombox isn’t as busted as you’d think.
Woolie's love for the Jet Set Radio aesthetic trancends your puny love for Soul Calibur.
Rohan Kishibe and 『Heaven's Door』 There has never been a more powerful aesthetic.
Soul Calibur would be better if it looked like Jet Set Radio
well soul did come from funk
I may never see another jet set radio. But at least I have this game.
_Sweet Soul Brother VI_
*AIN'T NOTHIN LIKE A FUNKY BEAT!*
*FUNKY FRESH BEATS*
*FUNKY FRESH BEATS*
what a banger
Going to be my favorite stage and song with Candyman's right behind!
THIS IS MY [S T A N D], FUNKY BEAT!!
I never knew there was a world that a song can beat Ordinary Days and Scream
And we haven’t even heard all of the soundtrack yet

He was clearly misremembering Latches grab and throw as a universal mechanic lmao. Latch was probably his main too.
It means no more laming the fuck out of people with roundstart slowballs from point blank range that prevent you from ever hitting high speeds.
I still going to play with one hit deaths it just feels more competitive
It's a "what killed me" rage counter and I think it works ok. It kinda takes away the divekick suspense, but I think it's a good choice for match flow.
In the original it just felt lame when you had a couple bursts where the ball never got to get to a decent speed. The faster the ball the more fun I tended to be having so I'm happy bursts can't end suddenly when the ball is still slow.
After a certain speed, you notice their hp bars start blinking, that means that no matter what, if the ball hits you... you are dead.
there was no HP in the first one, everything was insta death. the environments used to be 2d with 2d character sprites, now everything is 3d models and 3d stages. Grabbing the ball is also new, the first one only had hits and bunts and the Y button was used for taunting.
I agree, having health was a good change. There were way too many times where I got killed going for the ball at the same instant as my opponent. I like the catching mechanic as a way to fake out your opponent.
You can still play with no hp, 1 hit kill. They just didn't turn off hp.
There also seems to be some wakeup mechanic that recovers the ball to you like at 36:54
The more I looked at it the more I thought the throwing was new. Throwing and health do introduce new strategies though as throwing is like a shotgun, while health allows for you to chip at your opponents health and gives a reason to also charge up for a better reason than just style points.
You can also grab the ball out of a parry apparently, be prepared for extra counter meta.

I can't express exactly why but this is one of my favorite comments I've seen on youtube in a while.
Thank you for this, I'm a blazer and the POP makes me a bit too LIT specially late in the night.
That whole 36:00 sequence was the best shit ever.
Especially when the fucking achievement popped up and OOOOOOOOOOOOH!
I want this pinned.
*The most slept on hype game to date....i could see this at tournaments at a real competitive level*
Yeah with the changes they added this is peak competitive party game
I'm not sure about 1v1s, but 2v2 teams were crazy cool to watch in the original when both teams knew what they were doing
If it was slept on it wouldn't be on the Switch.
The Switch is a VERY solid system. Not the most powerful graphically but it has plenty of power in system handling. I have yet to see the system struggle to keep up when a lot is happening on screen.

What the hell, how do you go from being near base level scrubs to having a rally that sick at the start of the final match? GOD THIS GAME IS HYPE.
They went from "super scrubs" to "Holy fuck they broke time!"
The game is pretty intuitive and the controls are responsive. It’s no surprise how quickly they got a handle on the basics. I wish they had the “how to play 2” unlocked so they could learn tech like parrying and parry countering.
I see we are finally getting Blazeblue.
when this game pops, it SLAPS
And when it SLAPS it BANGS!!!
Never has a game needed slow mo replays more.
I want to make sweet love to this soundtrack
At least some of it is composed by none other than Hideki Naganuma himself.
I think its from the london stage in capcom vs snk 2
I want to make sweet love to your artwork

CRAZY TALK STRIKES AGAIN
3:08 TIMESTAMPS GUY CALLED OUT
IS TIMESTAMPS GUY CANON NOW??
TIMESTAMPS EXPOSED
Lol I always thought that those timestamps were a funny thing.
Tortique does his job well
I am loving this style. Honestly 3d models and texturing goals.
D...Did Pat say he doesn't remember the Free-for-All mode? The MAIN mode? The mode they played???
Crazy Talk is out of control.
Tyler Ruins to be fair, they played it four years ago and Pat is getting old.
Pat doesn't remember what he had for breakfast this morning.
Woolie also thought you could throw in the last game
Liam took all Pat's memories of him when he left.
Tfw the funky fresh beats kick in
aint nothin like it
Spoilers: they don't find the ingame shop for the locked characters/stages/modes
Consider the fallowing:
Pat is a muppet.
Pat is the Muppet king.
Does that mean Matt is a puppet?
all 3 of them are muppets. Liam's a muppet too but he felt anxious about being the only one among them without fully articulated hands. So he started his own stream.
I thought that was Mono.
So you're saying he's Candyman IRL? That makes way too much sense.
"I don't remember this mode being in there."
Free for all was definitely in Lethal League 1.
not only that, it was the mode they played the most in their video for it.
THE LETHAL LEAGUE FANBASE ISNT DEAD YET GUYS
It never died!
aww dude we need to get jerma and star on this
this game has only been growing in players despite how old it is
Lethal League for EVO!
I think it died pretty quick, which is a shame
*list* *of* *jump* *scares* *and* *shocks* *for* *those* *what* *is* *easy* *spooped:*
there is a crocodile :O
Babymech2 you're a star now
Thanks, I don't know if my heart could have taken the shock.
You can't keep getting away with this, you scrublords!!
Always down for more of this game. It's comes with built in hype.
I wonder if they even noticed health was optional. Guess they couldn't see the bottom left corner..with the 6 sets of eyes.
Wait, who are the other 3?
@@TheRadioSquare Pat is a cyclops, Matt has 3 like garnet, Woolie has 8 eyes like a spider. 1+3+8=12, or 6 sets.
Matt wears glasses so doesn't that give him 4 eyes?
Wow, way to bring it back
@@louiesalmon3932 that's still 3 sets lol
Seriously, when you get all the characters and stages unlocked, do more, it's addicting to watch.
and other game modes
My poor baby soul can't handle how wrong and half informed they are coming into this game.
That said Jet is new best girl.
Thanks bro
I wonder why people like this game so much? OH BECAUSE ITS A WELL MADE GAME WITH AN INTERESTING CONCEPT AND NO LOOT BOXES OR FORCED DLC
Latch - *"FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!!!!"*
Fun Fact: (if i remember correctly) The creators of Lethal League consider all the ships and the doujins of the characters in the game CANON.

Your life bar flashes when you're in danger of a killing blow. That's neat.
You're mostly here for this: 35:55
Chrono Warp = Activating The World cuz you're hitting the ball so damn fast
Bless your soul for time stamping that.
tortique's timestamps are unarguably better, but for this single moment I feel a few seconds of buildup is more appropriate.
People have gotten it to a million, everything turns to abyss and it's horrifying.
I called it: Lethal Overdrive
Ain't nothin' like a funky beat.
FUNKY FRESH BEAT
This isn't a Fisticuffs. This is a SUPER BEST FRIENDS BRAWLLLLLL!
16:00 the track that sold me on this game
If I recall, Pat said Candyman freaked him out in OG Lethal League. I feel lied to now.
You can postpone Sonic Unleashed and Dante's Inferno all you want but you'll never escape.
never stop posting this, even if they actually do them
Remember that one dude who would ask for Blazblue over and over again
@@EleazarA Seems he has reincarnated, but with a new obsession.
I'm hoping Oct 31st is a Dante's Inferno shitstorm into an LP Nov 1st. But it might be another Silent Hill they haven't played yet.
the hype that is this game tho
I've always loved how if you do a fully charged smash, the time the ball is frozen goes WAY down. That was in LL1 too.
I love "Ordinary Days", the song in the "crazy room".
Little do they know bunt makes the ball slower, but if you bunt a ball thats already pausing everything or screen turns black, there won't be a pause if you hit the ball after the bunt and the ball will just go fast while staying deadly.
I CANT HANDLE THESE FUNKY FRESH BEATS!
Completely new grab and throw mechanic introduced: "Oh yeah I remember that in the first game"
Me: Excuse me?
Sucks you didnt unlock the characters. Grid, Nitro and Doombox woulda been perfect for ya’ll

I'm so fucking buying this game the second it comes out
19:40 this is why I love this channel and their motto, ¨never prepare, always unready¨
I fucking love the phrase "inverted windjammers"
Jet is like a cross between Ibuki and Gum and you don't know how 100% HERE I am for that.

Too good. How can such a simple game be so hype. It should totally be an e-sport, man
They still don't know about the shield
This game is like a sidescrolling Windjammers.
A fighting game that set in a cyberpunk version of Jet Set Radio?
Words cannot even describe how much I love this game already
Cyberpunk version of Jet Set Radio?
So....Jet Set Radio Future? Like Neo Tokyo is outright Hong Kong mixed into Shibuya.
I'm glad after 100,000 years they finally realized we greatly prefer that they actually learn to play these games before going in.
So glad Lethal League got the sequel it deserves. Gonna have to pick it up when I clear out my backlog a bit more
