![]() There are 12 stages in total and have varying platform layouts and sizes. īrawlout features for the most part, competitively legal stages. In my opinion, the Drifter is the most beginner friendly character as he plays a bit like Marth and the other sword characters in Smash. Some are better for rushing in and slashing, while others are great for trapping your opponents. The game’s base characters and the two guest characters feel very unique from each other too. Some characters have additional specials which can only be used in the air, or after a jab combo for example. Characters in Brawlout are not limited to the four specials. Gamecube controllers can be used by using the Gamecube Adapter on the Switch as well. The game has the same exact button layout as Smash, which means it’s very easy to learn and master. meteor smashes, breakfall, directional influence and even wave dashing are all present in Brawlout. The game also features a lot of advanced techniques that Smash players will be familiar with. By either receiving damage, or by dealing it players will build up their rage meter which can be used to stop combos or enter rage mode which gives them extra strength. This means it’s always better to be attacking, or moving into position in order to attack. Gameplay:īrawlout does away with shielding and grabbing in order to focus on fast-paced action. What’s worse is that the clone characters will appear to have the same ending as their original counterparts. ![]() All in all, the story in Brawlout is a mixed bag: it’s there for those who want it. Before the fights in Arcade Mode there is a quick back and forth between the characters, but it usually equates to, “I guess I have to beat you up now”. Unlockable characters are sometimes alternate dimension versions of the base characters or possible future versions of that character. My main issue with the story in Brawlout is that it’s pretty confusing. What’s more is in the Brawler menu option, there is lore for all the characters which details their backstories. There is an ‘Arcade Mode’ where players can fight 8-12 battles and are rewarded with a short ending. At the same time, Brawlout is a fighting game, and thus story isn’t THAT important. While both games have guest characters, the focus is on completely original characters with their own history. With the help of Iwata, Sakurai was able to receive permission to use Nintendo characters and the rest is well history.īrawlout much like Rivals of Aether features completely unique characters and builds their own lore and world.
