Chizuru Makes Some Waves!
Hey Duelists! We've got a brand-new update out, featuring our latest guest character: Chizuru from Super Ledgehop: Double Laser!
Chizuru is a high-speed character with a dynamic playstyle, capable of switching on a dime between long-range pestering and in-your-face mixups! This high level of versatility doesn't come for free though, requiring you to manage your gun's ammo supply to maintain access to your strongest tools. Combine that with Chizuru's many unique cancel options, and she becomes a surprisingly technical, yet highly rewarding character with lots of room for self-expression!
You can try out Chizuru in Duels of Fortune RIGHT NOW, as well as all the other new content we've included in this update! Here's a shortlist of what you can expect:
- A new playable character!
- 2 new stages! (plus 1 updated stage!)
- New Super Ledgehop-themed costumes!
- 5 new Missions!
- New Pride-themed alt colours!
- Bug fixes and minor balance adjustments
We've made a short video to show you a slice of everything this update has to offer! Check it out below!
