Why Brawlhalla is So Frustrating

The game does technically work as a fighting game, but it's very very weird, and VERY very frustrating...

GET IT FOR THE KIT KAT NO KAP KIT KAT KIT KAT

shwerpys rants are so good because the aren’t just created completely off of rage and anger, they are always extremely well put together and calm.

It's the very thing that's plagued me with this game for so long, and half the reason I actually stopped playing. There is nothing more humiliating or infuriating then reading your opponents move perfectly, having them MISS or FAIL it and they just shrug their shoulders and hit you with another one free of charge.

I agree with the points. Esp about the punishing part, like its not about "punishing the move" (unless they threw it out really badly) but punishing the dodge. This is important for weapons like spear/blasters since their most damaging thing they can do is when you have no dodge

Bro I think I cracked it for one session. I went from 1800 to 2100, same character I always use, got off the game with 0 losses, woke up the next morning and fell back to like 1950 and to this day have no idea how I did it.

Shwerpy actually seems like such a chill dude

Lol you talking about the dodge in brawlhalla made me understand why I was so thrown off when I got into guilty gear. GG tells me I get a burst that resets neutral like once a game and it felt weird but now I know it's cuz I'm used to free neutral resets in brawl every couple seconds

Interesting discussion. However there's also one thing - the movement speed in this game is ridiculous and the characters too dmall, which is why passive play might still be stronger. No matter how unpunishable an opponent's approach option is, it doesn't matter when you move that fast, have 3 jumps and a tiny hitbox - they'll eventually make a mistake and allow a big string to happen. It is in general much easier to fuck up when approaching than when trying to not get hit.

The thing that’s so frustrating about brawhalla is that depending on how you’re feeling or depending on how the game feels you can either win or lose 5 times in a row against people who are either way lower or way higher than your skill level and considering how dodges work in this game it gives you a unique sense of despair when you lose.

[Excrucio-says-hf]

They should definitely lower the damage output because it’s way too easy to K.O someone even with no type of skill

[TriggerTrove]

Those times your community is so toxic the game devs solutions is to remove the chat feature 😭

"Brawlhalla is stupid."

Coming from someone playing for 5 years.

[gowgox]

Maybe there should be a parry mechanic to help punish moves
My idea is when you dodge and the other players hitbox goes into the area you dodged in it adds extra endlag to the move
It should be added to make punishing easier and balanced enough to not make it free and change the meta to passive play

[weatherinme]

ye gotta agree ive been playing for like 6 months now and still cant consistently punish sig spammers while im able to do most basic combos and strings which just makes me think im worse than the people who queen nai sig spam from far and just instantly jump away

[retroreaper]

Really good points. Good to see my man getting back into brawl. keep up the great content

[henrybitencourt]

My biggest pet peev is that the devs don't fix the match making system they don't fix the elo system in ranked (trust me is getting worse) they dont fix the netcode the server and the ping system instead they overtune weapons undertune and power creeping new characters and weapons to be OP and then nerf them hard

[snowcrow]

I have a super deep understanding of the game (imo). I've been playing and consuming brawlhalla content since like 2017 maybe. I've been mid to high plat for around half that time playing ranked either every or every other season. I just cannot get passed like 1950 elo. I think it's cause I'm just not consistent enough.

[noidontubi]

i remember when i first found your channel back when you had like 50K subs, you've come so far man, proud of you.

[LenoxVeleno]

You have a vibe in your videos that is so unique I can't define it, but I love it

[YourFavoriteFear]

I'm so glad shwerpy still makes brawlhalla videos ever since Pavelski left Shwerpy is my favorite brawl youtuber
