Dropping shit like a pigeon.
Grid
Grid gets two JUMPER CABLER outfits and an extra move in this update. For his new special move you have to get a full meter, crouch and then press jump to activate 'Electrostatic Charge'. It gives you a full charge hit the next time you hit the ball.
Ranked
The Ranked mode is completely changed into a division system. With this, a new season starts and ranks will be reset. But before we do, let's go over the top ranking players of season 1. On the leaderboards Twitch-DizzyyHM sits on the #1 spot and they worked for it, no doubt about it. However, since we're honoring single competitors on this list and this is a shared account we considered it only fair to the others to reduce DizzyyHM's rank somewhat.
Top Rankings Lethal League Blaze Season 1:
- #1 Sivil
- #2 Daioutzu
- #3 Monk/Honkey/Banana
- #4 Hang Boy
- #5 mylokolya
- #6 Prometheus
- #7 Zaxer2
- #8 88mpharu
- #9 Metrekec
- #10 Twitch-DizzyyHM
- #11 meller roll soul
- #12 b3b3
- #13 Hyperfresh
- #14 coffeeground
- #15 CandyMaster145
- #16 Tixl
- #17 Adnarel
- #18 Battler
- #19 Bitnix
- #20 THE GIANT RAT
Gratz to all these players! The new system won't feature a leaderboard in the same way, making way for the Divisions. Divisions go from the 8th Division all the way up to the 1st Division. Every Division has three Stars to more specifically show where you are placed.
After each Ranked match you'll be able to see your progress to the next division in the result screen. Winning will make the bar go up, losing will make it go down. Even if you're at the bottom of the bar you're allowed to lose 2 times more before you will get demoted. Once you've played Ranked once, your current rank will be visible in the main menu.

Tech & tweaks
Some new advanced techs are introduced in this update:
- Sliding grabs
- Pivots, allowing you to more quickly turn around
- Early release charge hits, allowing full charge hits even if you release 4 frames earlier
You can crouch and press the opposite direction within 4 frames (including simultaneously) to cancel the crouch and execute a pivot. They won't be necessary all the time, but they can come in handy in critical moments. Gameplay has seen a lot of tweaks in general, take a look down here to see all the changes in this Content Bombardment!
