Brawlout update out now (version 2.1.0) – Fire Temple stage and more

A significant update for Brawlout has just gone live. A new Fire Temple stage has been added with version 2.1.0, along with character balancing and more.

Below are the patch notes:

Gameplay

General changes

• Tribalstack Tropics is now available in Competitive Mode with the side platforms removed.
• Reduced the blast zone sizes on Shivering Coast
• All charge attacks deal increased knockback when charged
• A visual effect has been added to many high-impact attacks when they connect on an opponent to give them a little extra OOMPH.

Ledge changes

• Removed the 55 frames ledge grab restriction after getting hit, players can now grab ledges immediately after taking damage.
• Characters no longer get ledge invincibility after landing on Olaf’s pillar/platform
• Decreased ledge snap distance when facing the ledge from 2.5 to 2 (snap distance remains 1 when not facing the ledge)

Teching changes

• Wallteching has been added.
• The teching window has been reduced to 10 frames. The cooldown for a missed tech is still 30 frames.

Menu changes

• Decreased result screen timer in online lobbies for spectators.
• Added a new controller setting “Use taunts on pedestal” . This defaults to “On”. If set to “Off” you can’t use taunts on pedestals (like on the character select / stage select / result screen) and frees up the dpad for navigation.
• Online lobby list now shows how many players can still join the lobby rather than how many playing slots are free
• Added an option in Practice mode to set your rage or maintain it to a specific value

Bug fixes
