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.

[@upop4198]

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

[@Shwerpy]

A lot of people jump after whiffing too if they don't have a dodge so reading that jump is crucial for spear. Blasters I feel gets so little out of dodge reads though

[@kobe9063]

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.

[@கிரிஸ்]

Indeed true...its in the mood to play way more technical sometimes...and less care when it come to the newbue guy...or the guy we know we beat them..yet the same time that guy can win 5 times in a row and thats so frustrating me even though i am older player than him..always make hate this part 😅

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.

[@ottosantiagolassus]

the problems with this games; 1. too many jumps 2. Dodge is broken( you should not be able to dodge right after you did a f#@$ing move, especially a heavy attack 3. Every time you respawn its a f@#$%ing sweat fest just trying to get a weapon. 4. Too many characterss that are basically the same. 5. the new characters basically made the old cast useless because of how broken they are

[@starrymarch]

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

[@Shwerpy]

Oh Lord GG is so much harder for me I can't handle anime games How does the burst thing work?

[@starrymarch]

@@Shwerpy you have a meter for it that has a long cool down and does not reset between rounds. You use it either while in hitstun to escape a combo that you normally couldn't, or you can use it in neutral to get full meter for super attacks or other stuff. There is even a meta for baiting out this burst (burst hits a small area around you so you can miss the opponent)

[@BvstJungkookist]

For me it's the toxicity. I could enjoy the game and be so much better if the players weren't so damn toxic, to the point I quit because of the rage lol.

[@dabossxp6930]

[@gowgox9362]

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

[@Shwerpy]

A parry mechanic sounds interesting but the implementation will have to be really well thought of Plus BMG doesn't like to make changes LMAO

[@alibi4052]

This is also good and horrible (not in a bad way,but just bad given my experience of regular brawl) if this was added,then everyone will constantly spam dodge right after whiffing or just in general to bait people.

[@mr.dolphin4760]

@@alibi4052 then add a drawback to the dodge to prevent players from spamming it for example: you could make it so that when someone fails to parry they become stunned and easy to punish and if they already parried then there's a cooldown before they can parry again while also making the only way possible to parry is to neutral dodge on land

[@nobodycares1065]

Its frustrating because the devs are dumb. They do nothing but encourage passive play by giving you infinite dashes that you can spam all game long making most matches insanley boring. Not only this but they stack it with items like the sticky bomb and the mine. Throw it and run away then hit some one into it. 2. Every weapon is damn near the same. Sidelight into a combo or dlight into a combo. Bow blasters sword boots axe hammer and spear all have the same dlight -> sair combo and its fucking stupid. 3. The game is just blatantly boring. The game modes arent a lot of fun because hardly anyone plays them unless its for brawl of the week and the only way to play them is custom games. 4. Another thing about the devs being a bunch of ass hats, everytime a new weapon is released, they dont tweak it before hand, and it becomes the best and most op weapon for about 3 months till they nerf it. Like just fix it before it starts. 5. This is the same with lots of other games but the battle pass is just a cover show to make up for lack of game content and ideas. The ability to "customize" your character is dumb. It changes the hitbox and effects which can throw you off (often why people play skins that have silent affects so that theres no give away of whats coming). 6. The absolute bullshit that some weapons can do. Sword sidelight hits infront, below, behind, above, and catches most dodges and is insanely fast. Spear nlight is unpunishable on ledge and out ranges even blaster sair. 7. The biggest component. *True combos* ... No no no... These completely take skill out of the equation of the game. No matter how good you are, no matter how long youve been playing, no matter how fast you are, you cannot do anything to avoid them. And not only this, you can stack that with weapon throws to get 5-6 hits in one true combo. Tldr: Its a "fighting" game where the main focus is to run away and make a middle ground the entire match. This game is like 2 boxers in a ring that run around in a circle throwing their gloves at each other, while both being to afraid to make a move. Its not a fighting game at all, its a waiting game and its stupid.

It’s literally hot garbage and that’s why I’m hype for multiversus to return. The only reason why people play brawl because it’s the only alright platformer out rn thats playable on all devices.

When brawlhalla starts falling off I can’t wait to see what these dumbass devs do to try and bring their players back

Brawlhalla was my very first platform fighting game. Then when I started playing games like Smash bros I truly realized how garbage it was. And with the releases of Nickelodeon all stars brawl and Multiverses I then truly realized that the game sucks.

[@KainDizengarth]

As someone who have been playing Traditional fighting games for more than 25 years now (daamn I'm old) this is my main issue with Brawhalla. I learned to play so I could share the game with my friends some years ago and that was the first thing that I told my friend I didn't like, how safe everything was, specially the Dodge. In traditional FG there's always gaps to try to take you turn back and mindgames around that, but here that practically doesn't exist. I manage to learn the game and play fine with them, even though it mas my first platform fighter and one of them is really good, mainly cause I'm use to read other players and that helps me a lot to catch habits and common mistakes but it can get reaaaally frustrating when you know what they are trying to do and is still hard to punish them cause everything is cancelable in dodge and it has no recovery time.

[@somerandomguy7325]

I feel like the dodge is useless in brawhalla mostly because it does not like when you’re getting combo’d and you use that small window to dodge it doesn’t do anything you can’t punish them nor can you really turn the tables on them and don’t get me started on some of these goofy ahh combos

[@nikhilthavi]

It is frustrating when you learn your opponent's pattern and then time your move but it does not register because they perform their attack which gets registered as they higher 'agility' Also some weapons can perform long chain of attacks with more combinations while others cannot simply beacuse they do not have such fuctionality

This is the worst I've seen brawlhalla be and I have 3 different accounts(908 hours on my most recently made) for over 5 years. They need to hire random high ranked players to play test/ give recommendations for changes because what they have been doing for the past few months is just sad. If it keeps up the game will die out on console.

[@learnyoutube3865]

*If you are between Gold and Low Diamond 2300, and YOU WANNA IMPROVE, read this:* Look, if you are in gold/plat/diamond ur probably a masher. Learning to get good at brawl its like when you start and you cant punish heavy attacks, but the difference is that you need to learn how to punish light attacks. For you to be good at punishing i recommend playing the same character because of spacing, it is really hard to space out moves and know WHEN something is punishable while still in active frames (Blasters are a good example, alot of people whiff DLight on blaster on the side of the map and you come to punish and u get NLighted). Honestly i dont think there is a real way to practice this, what i would reccomend would be to play passive and try to punish everything that the opponent does. Now there is a common misconception between playing passive and running away, if you are playing agaisnt your favorite pro that you always thought he was ''agressive, fun to watch and etc'', well he will probably wait for you to make 1 mistake or just whiff moves that arent punishable until you start attacking, so no. PROS ARENT AGRESSIVE LIKE PLATS THINK, they dont just run up and RANDOMLY SLight someone (What i mean by pros, are people that constantly get top 8, because even in top 16-32 people mash). Okay if you made it this far i respect and this is where things will get more complicated, after you learned to be passive and tried to punish everything you will realise that some stuff will probably be ''unpunishable'' after a certaing range, so all you have to do is read their movement after they miss attack. *Mental:* Listen here, dont get mad, if you are getting mad you are letting your opponent control you, you are reacting the way that they want you. A good way to avoid getting mad is to play to learn instead of playing to win, and even when you start playing to learn you will get mad at the start (''Why is this guy tryharding, im just practicing in experimental omg'', ''Why he is taunting me''). Make a GOAL to not get tilted for kor thumbs down or an whatever emote, just ignore. Ow yeah and after you learn how to be passive you will also realise that you suck at punishing them, and it comes down to that dilema when you start the game ("OMG THIS IS GUY IS SIG SPAMING, HE IS SO BAD, IF ONLY I WAS SIG SPAMMING I WOULD BEAT HIM") but the difference is that he will be mashing light attacks. *Dodge in after whiff:* They miss an attack and they dodge TOWARDS YOU and attack immediatly, the reason why they do that is because they expect for you to try to punish them. When you see someone doing this in match it will be a little bit harder to punish, usually what i do is approach after they miss the attack and REACT to the dodge in. Dont jump, dont dash dance around just approach them with a normal dash or lag dash and REACT to the dodge in. Weapons like scythe, spear, gauntlets and greatsword get alot of benefit from this. *Jump after whiff:* This is the easiest, i find really easy to punish people doing this. As long as you can react to the jump, you shoudnt have no problem punishing. (This is rlly common after they miss a dodge as well) *Dodge away, dash after whiff:* These are the harder ones, because at the start you wont really know if they will do that again and you REALLY NEED TO OVERSHOOT, once you learn how to react it will be easy to punish. *Bubble:* Imagine there is a bubble where your opponent attack hits, when you enter that zone they will feel pressured and do something like dash away, attack, dodge, jump... You have to read that, and it will be hard to apply this! *Some notes:* After some time you will learn there will be even more bigger moutains to climb like reading peoples movement out of plataforms, when they cross up or when you approach them what they do and also you need to learn to figure it out what move they will do based on their movement (A really basic example is triple jump, to pressure an attack and dodge, and sair. You can just figure it out that the guy will throw out a sair based on his moviment). And the best way for me to practice is honestly just wait, see if they will actually do what i thought and react. Dont do hard reads, always react to the option that you think they will do, and also right when the attack starts to come out, you need to be out of the range of the attack. Microspacing is hard. *REACT, DONT DO HARD READS:* Im gonna give a dodge example because is the easiest, if they are dodging In, Out and Spotdodging just focus on the 3 dodges that he is doing the most, and forget about the rest. If he dodges in, out or spotdodge you can react and punish, if he dodges up, up away or whatever you can catch their landing later. The reason why reacting is way more safe, is because you are not GUESSING, you are actually just putting yourself in a spot where you can react. Probably most of you will just stand still and react, but try to move when you are trying to react, otherwise the opponent will adapt to you doing nothing after hitting the attack and wake up dair on you. (Just jump, or a simple dash dance) *Patterns:* Once you get good you will realise some patterns, im gonna give one that is completely obvious in lower elos (ESPECIALLY IN GOLD AND PLAT). Gauntlets players LOVE to SLight and Wake up sair (In plat the ones that learn to not wake up sair, will always jump, i promise you no one fast falls after a slight in plat). Identifying patterns like this can win you games (LITERALLY) in low diamond. Some other mentions are auto sair on Lance and Cannon, you can literally bully these players by just waiting for their attacks and getting the timing that they sair, ESPECIALLY LANCE PLAYERS, they will DAIR JUMP SAIR, SAIR, DAIR. You can just get the timing. Sword players waking up nlight after anything, blasters randomly going to the edge and spamming DLight (when you approach they nlight you), and bow players whenever they are in a big range (EVEN IF THE DLIGHT IS NOT GONNA HIT), and good gs players only mash and abuse dash cancel, just wait and punish. *Bait:* It is not hard to bait at gold and plat, when i smurf is rlly easy to punish them by just baiting. I SWEAR YOU CAN LITERALLY MISS LIKE A GUN NAIR ACROSS THE STAGE AND THEY WILL APPROACH YOU AND MISS AN ATTACK. Most of the Aerials of the game you can use to bait. The downside is that you need to know wtf ur doing, and be really careful. The higher it gets people wont fall for your baits, and if you dont space correctly you will get punished by a confident player. You can also use dodges to bait, you just need to do something that will intrigue them in to attacking you and yeah. *Final notes:* its 2 am and the reason i wrote this testament is because i really wanna help people out. I wouldnt be surprised if 90% of brawl players missconcepted passive and running away, and also if they had an ego thing that (A rule for themselves) to never be passive, if you think likethis you are dumb and there is no other way to put it, its literally saying ''If i told you that you can win 100k playing passive would you do it?'' and these 90% would probably say no still. Usually you just need to wait and agress on what you know you can punish, the more things you can punish the more you can agress (if you can read movement, bait, punish and pressure its not that hard to be ''agressive'') *edit:* i forgot about this, when you find someone being passive and playing exactly like you do, you will realise that you need to start baiting, pressuring and mixin your options to get hits in. (Instead of dashing in a platform and fall to the ground, you fall and jump before hitting the ground). (And not that many people make this far). And i also think 2300's are plats and diamond should be 2500 (But is most regions vallhallan is reachable if you get to this elo, so idk what they should do. Maybe they should keep the same values but make everyone start at tin, so 2300's would go to plats, and plats would go down to gold, and diamond would be more respectable. Most pros wont tell you the ''secret sauce to be good'', this is pretty much what you need (its rlly hard to execute all of these things tho), even darkgoul said on his stream that he doesnt do the most and he is like 2500 or more, just be more passive and move, pressure them.

Hyper-agressive katars then wait til i have a frame to attack and keep hyper-agressive

Yo Supreme watermelon shark roblox guy here, love the vid :) I'm hoping for more content from you, whether it's brawlhalla or not. - Vinneh

[@zrudu]

because brawlhalla feels different from other fighting games, i find it very hard to move to another game such as smash

[@lisapainfulthe7438]

KitKat's never getting punished. it gon hit you good all the time.

[@prezireplayz8229]

Dodge and block should both be in the game as a toggle-able thing since i love being hyper-agressive (but no dodging in ranked since ranked already makes you cry)

[@notcarbuncle1493]

Frankly, punishing isn’t fun. If a game is balanced around this, then in my opinion, its a fucking shit game that barely holds itself together. And I don’t want that to be true, I enjoy this game, but fucking god its just never fun. I never leave a session of this game happy I’m always miserable

[@nikkobird590]

I don't even know if you're able to punish in this game😂

[@spider6060]

hey diamond gs player here what im about to say is in the context of someone who litterly only plays mako but from my experience reading or throwing out moves isn't actually how you get good at this game i kinda of think of it as a kind of flow you start a read miss and then catch their reaction and to do this you have to be actually good at neutral and finding ways to deal real damage without reads and doing it actually consistently getting better at this was how i got to diamond I'm still not great but id recommend finding something like this to practice when your playing i chose this because its really important on gs but for katars id say something like knowing what attacks to use more specifically offstage for me i know what i just said could probably just count as get better at neutral but that's just how i chose to learn that. so yea be consistant or somethin

[@spider6060]

also play experimental if you hate ranked 90% of my playtime isn't ranked and I've enjoyed the game allot more and from my experience you don't learn less just because you don't lose elo (there is a hidden experimental elo) when i started playing ranked i was instantly plat and got high plat not long after also hitting plat for me was basically an early version of what i play now since countering sigs taught me how to play better

[@MaimunT]

So that's why I'm stuck in mid gold... I try to punish, but aggressive play is too busted

[@starcloner2524]

8 months later the game hasn't changed

[@TechnicSky]

BMG should add a shield or block. Real talk though, Shwerpy is really talking about things that I absolutely agree with. Punishing is difficult and unrewarding when trying to use defensive skills.

[@TechnicSky]

@albert einstien yeah but it can’t be activated in the air and those reads would still be possible with Brawl’s movement. Plus, just gotta make it so that the shield/block is either, stock-dependent (i.e. it’s one shield for all three stocks or so) temporary (like a smash shield, it goes down from overuse) or reliant on a character’s defense (make it stronger for characters like Magyar, but weak for characters like Ada, this makes stats far more important to consider). Hell, they could probably make it to where that higher dex means that if a character attacks a shield, they can attack again until their opponent decides to try and dodge or do an out-of-shield option (sigs or down light, for examples).

[@TechnicSky]

@albert einstien That sounds like a weird mechanic not gonna lie. Shoulda just made it a normal shield. And imma be real. Yeah that’s true, but tell me when changing the stances on stats is more effective/Game-changing than not. You telling me Magyar, at 10 Defense, still gets sent flying by Lucien’s sigs just because of how hard they hit. And are not proportional to Lucien’s attack stat? Make that make sense. And although you’re right about how the shield would make people more nervous, then they could simply make it a “block/guard” instead. Bam, no shield. Still depends on your legend’s defense still. And the “guard” can be stopped by grabs like in Smash. So any sigs that have grabs or any type of immobilizing, they instantly drop the opponent’s guard. Guarding and dodging is still an option. And hell, you could make guarding be dependent on direction. So stuff like Petra’s down sig could get around that.

i love playing brawlhalla but i cant get my rank up becausei get matched with annoying players who spam wether its a single combo or a bunch of moves ALWAYS leading to the same move and its so frustrating because im working so hard and i cant climb a single rank without getting matched with a cheesing person :(

[@SoDarkaries]

yeee shwerpy making videos often now!!

[@EggZu_]

what if recovery frames were added to dodge so you can't just immediately jump out of it

[@Dot_1]

i hope they make an update for people who run brawlhalla on 32 bits because we cant play ranked since easy anti cheat not supported for 32 bits

[@kemalerdemsahin410]

If they seperate dash and dodge to different buttons this problem can be solved easily. Performing both op moves at the same time with one button is simply too much and it results with neutral reset all the time.

[@EnhancedTrashBin]

Its so frustrating when I meant to dodge but instead I dash back or dash inward. Ridiculous how BMG never made a separate button layout option for that.

[@Shwerpy]

I feel like as long as dodge exists the problem will still be there

[@Shwerpy]

This is true though

[@MiilkGod]

Lmao man got the halloween shit goin on watchin it on halloween day rn

[@Rxpier]

2:30 this is the main reason brawlhalla mechanics are flawed, you’re not guaranteed anything if you play well, you can’t play well infact, you either have to play a specific playstyle or you lose 😂

[@ST-in7fo]

Nha punishing is what took me out of gold, I just stay in the blind spot of the weapon thanks of my movement and punish every whiff; i find swords really good at doing this, even if I can use slight instead to switch to a more approach oriented playstyle. But with gauntlets playing aggressive is free, this weapon has no endlag and si much built in movement

[@ZombieChickenFTW]

first person to explain this right thanks

[@Rya_Vt]

Said “that’s not passive thats being an asshole”😂

[@venitro7]

Aggressive is not free when you have input delay so big you end up doing the wrong moves. Not being able to move how you want is death.

[@LeAkisake]

It is frustrating because it doesnt do the thing i press on the keyboard. Dodge dont work, strings and combos dont work, game is bad

[@hierarchyofmood1220]

I just quit because as you said it's frustrating I see brawlhalla as a fun past time which is why I suck in the game but I literally just can't with people who cheese and plays so aggressive I just SD

yeah i agree on basically everything you said ESPECIALLY ABOUT 2's. playing friendly 2's is what brings alot of fun for me and my friends but its also what made all of us quit the game. spammers in friendly 2s are WAAYYY harder to deal with when you are the last one alive because if you die youll never get another weapon without taking damage or dying.
