Hey everyone, here is our first feature update for Brawlhalla Alpha.

The four existing Legends (Bödvar, Cassidy, Völst, Lord Vraxx) now have stat and power differences, check out what makes each one unique.

We did a batch of great changes suggested by the community, thanks for all the feedback! In addition to that we fixed a pile of bugs, made some balance changes, and improved lag slightly (don't worry we're still working on lag and there's plenty more to come).

Update to Characters

• Each Legend in Brawlhalla now has 4 special powers, one for each weapon!
• Each Legend now has different stat allocations.
• Legends page now active on the main menu, with the stats and powers of each.
• New colors and minor costume change for Cassidy to help in-game readability.
• Minor color changes to Volst to increase readability.

Community Requests

• New 1v1 map added for smaller games.
• Hold back on a controller or tab on the keyboard to see player name and score in a match.
• Change your Legend's colors on the character select screen by pressing any direction after selecting your Legend.
• Sudden Death now disarms and respawns appropriate players instead of continuing combat at the moment of the tie.

Performance Improvements

• Changed login flow to take you to the main menu even if you haven't connected yet.
• Added a Reconnect to Server button to help... reconnect to server...
• Updated combat simulation to help lessen lag in Online play.

Bug Fixes

• Scoreboard no longer cuts off the victor's name in the header at the top of the screen.
• Local matches no longer spawn items more frequently than Online matches.
• Players using controllers no longer get stuck in a state where they can't slide on a wall without pressing the stick.
• Items start blinking before they expire when playing Online like they do for Local games.
• Fixed a bug where you would not get sent back to the main screen after getting disconnected from game lobbies.
• Controllers connecting midgame will attach themselves to players who had controllers dropped from them. This should fix an issue people are having with the F310 momentarily losing connection.
• Players can no longer change characters after a game has been started by the host.
• Thrown items should no longer "ride the rails" on the underside of hard platforms.

Powers

• Increased recovery time on Heavy Aerial Down attacks and gave them a slight angle offset to address ground pound chaining.
• Slight decrease to Light Aerial damage/impulse on the hammer, particularly the up attack.
• Slight decrease to minimum charge times on the pistol Ground Heavy attacks.
