Added Teching: When getting hit, and when your character is still in ‘hit stun’, you can press ‘Dash’ to tech and recover instantly from hit stun. You need to press it in a 8 frame buffer, before touching the ground. You can’t spam the ‘Dash’ button either, as that would lock out the window when you can successfully perform the tech.
When successfully performing a tech, you instantly stop your hitstun, and you are invincible for 21 frames. You can also do a tech roll by holding the left or right direction at the start of the tech
Before we added teching, characters were invincible during their get-up-from-ground animation. That’s no longer the case. This allows even longer combo strings against opponents who don’t tech or DI the right way.

Our next guest character will join Brawlout just in time for the Nintendo Switch release next month.
Character Variants: As well as cosmetic skins, each original Brawlout character has up to three Variants; alt versions of the character with different stats, outfits and even new moves. Our plan is to balance each one of them just right, to make them suitable for competitive tournaments.
The more you play a character, you’ll increase its Mastery Level, which in turn unlocks unique rewards
You’ll also unlock tons of other cosmetic items for your characters, plus combat effects and lots of taunts for your characters
