This guy really just popped up in my recommendations out of nowhere like a door to door salesman and completely sold me on this sequel I didnt even know existed
fantastic!
Thank you for shining some light on this game. This game is actually creative and fun asf but it just flew under the radar.
team reptile makes goated games that are sadly underrated
The visuals, the music, the high tension gameplay, it keeps me coming back for more. And it's one of the few games where I feel like I can drop one of my friends into, have them know nothing about it, and they can still dominate
yea it’s a pretty intuitive game which I love
I am intrigued about a game where you hit a baseball until it's rivals the speed of Which the atoms split in a warhead
I like your description
this game has a super active competitive scene full of lovely people!! they run a regular new comer tournament too that only people with under 200 hrs can enter. they held an in person tournament at Combo Breaker, and it's being ran at Fete 3 too! Amazing game n glad to see a video on it pop up in my recommendeds ☺️
yea! participated in one of them, was really fun! good community
glad you finally found one game you’re acceptably good at ✊🏻
I’m not even good at it, duel me in tf2
@@blunderly ill duel you in LLB and youll see how much lower the skill-level can go
im like 99% sure the candyman at 9:10 was me, i remember those disappearing legs like it was yesterday
hahaha really? that’s rad that was a sweet knock out
after 2 years i can finally rest easy tonight
you don’t have to
Wow, I didn't realize how much I love this kinda presentation. I like how you admitted the few flaws to give an honest interpretation of the game
There was this really old obscure in-browser multiplayer game called sumo volleyball which was addicting af, and this reminds me so much of it. I'm aboutta cop both of these games for $20 total on Steam cuz of the sale rn, ridiculous.
this game looks sick and i really dig the way you presented it
idk how u popped up in my recommended but im def excited to see anything you put out in the future if ur planning on doing that
edit: just went to go watch ur last video, that was a banger too
the way you speak and present stuff is really calming which is something that i really appreciate
tldr youre swag i think
thanks a ton! appreciate it, defo worth checking the game out esp since it goes on sale a lot
this is my favorite blunderly video
that’s a low bar but thanks g
Always nice to see a video promoting LLB, as it's a really fun game even before you get a handle on how to play right. Plus, it has a wacky factor to it that makes it all the more fun, like Doombox's Crouch and Candyman's ability to slide through walls to appear on the opposite side of the arena.
yeah I dig the chaos included that doesn’t go overboard in making the game too casual
this is the video of all time
Ain't nothing like a funky game
i have managed to convince 3 streamers to buy LLB by just giving a very rough and basic description of the game
"its like playing dodgeball with baseball bats and trying to kill the other player"
haha nice yea it’s an easy sell on just a description alone
Finding people still taking about what I'd consider one of the most criminally underrated games ever is insane to me
Love to see it tho
good that more people are still gushing over this title even after all these years
Theirs Platform Fighters that have a little bit of this ball control in it and its always interesting to bounce a cannon ball into a aerial combo
I found this game a week ago after grabbing Bomb Rush and I fell in love with both. I wish more people did feel that same but I’m glad that at least some people appreciate it. Also I suppose it’s more known in the UK than the US seeing they recently had Fete 3.
yea! just hearing about bomb rush before it even released made me pick up lethal league. fete 3 is cool I want more indie games in big tourneys
@@blunderly do you know how popular the game is on US servers? I’m scared to sign up for Nintendo online service and then literally no one plays the game
@@spliffsforbreakfastTo be honest I have no clue, esp. for switch. I'd wager it's not that popular tho, would not be worth buying online for it imo
great vid! a lot of your sentiments are things i've been trying to put into words for a while over the years and it's nice to hear some love gushed for the game!
The game has an insanely active discord so you can still meet up with new players or high skilled players matches are always being run its very fun.i just wish the community talked more about its netcode tho
yea definitely this, netcode is the only thing holding the game back imo and the discord can only help with a niche crowd who's super invested but not the average customer that wants a good fighting experience without having to outsource its multiplayer
I've been playing LLBlaze for the past week or so and something interesting I've found is that losing doesn't suck. I've played a lot of fps games, and in those the long drawn out matches where dying means you either sit around for a few minutes doing nothing or have to find your way back to the action makes losing and dying feel like you did horrible. In this game I don't feel that, dying only makes you pause for a few seconds to think of why you died and how to not die next time, and every game only takes a maximum of 10 minutes, given that's the limit you set. Those together means I can fight against the #1 player in the world and not want to quit after a single match along with the top players in the world not being full of themselves and letting a newer player get a few stocks on them to keep them around and learning for longer.
I agree totally, there's a lot of moments that are exciting even at a loss like getting a high rally
Great video, I was looking to get into LLB lately and I've been gathering opinions on the game. Amazing quality video, thank you for this and keep it up !
hey appreciate it! yeah I definitely recommend the LLB Stadium discord server if you plan on getting into it, they have tourneys/matches all the time
Good to see you back creating content again, Blunderly ✨
I am your 800th subscriber and am turning on notifications because I love the way you talk and express your opinions
Keep up the good work, man
yo I appreciate you tons! bless mrlavenderpumpkin
Nostalgia!!!! PLAY BALL!!!! LETHAL LEAGUE!!!
It's about time, Blunderbutt. ;^)
hahaha long overdue
funke-ey and i like it
BLUNDERLY
candyman can teleport himself
the king has returned
Oh hey, it's that game
High speed murder pong
best summary I’ve seen so far lol
I use to play the shit out of the orginal Lethal League and like you I never liked fighting games (still don't really) but I never got that into LLB I've only played it for a few hours.
yea! it’s tough if you don’t have others who want to play it as well
i hope you enjoy our little ballin community
I have, one of the major draw factors. I did an NPC tourney like last year which was fun even tho I got decimated pretty early lol
all the people from my old twitter community bringing back their youtube accounts 😭
JERMA VS STAR
I cannot find anyone to play with in this absolute gem of a game. If I do the ping is unusually high and super laggy, meaning there's no dedicated server for India, still enjoy arcade mode every now and then..sad af
yea it’s pretty brutal, ping is gonna be tough and I don’t see it being fixed any time soon, still local co-op is fun
There are actually no servers at all, its all P2P connection but the game will try to match you up against people relatively close to you with good ping at first before eventually setteling with people further away if it cant find anyone close
@@baltikus9438 yea I think most of peoples issues are really just because the online player base isn’t large enough to actually get a lot of those close matches, although I’ve still heard a lot about net code or whatever that’s impeded it regardless. I’m not much of a tech guy so I don’t know if that checks out for sure
@@baltikus9438 apparently you have to find matches on discord and that too is pretty few and far between but it's better on weekends around 7-11 pm pacific time but who has the time..smh. Wish I was a kid with all the time in the world..LOL
LLB is one of those games where I can 100% admit I am complete dogshit at the game but keep playing it anyways because the style and the substance is so strong that it's just a joy to play around in even if I'm buttfumbling my way thru every match.
lol same, I think it's why I like it so much, speaks good of a game's design when you can still enjoy it without being far along the learning curve
Great video. Its extremely well made and even better paced. This video was amazing and ill be excited to see what you make in the future.
I will say however is that i dont agree with your take that fighting games supers (you call them specials in the video) and meter are most often just extra damage. Every major fighting game has its own plethora of super moves that provide useful utility options and not pure damage. And even more fighting games have ways to use their meter that isnt just a super move.
Guilty Gear, the video you used as one of your examples, has a central mechanic called Roman Cancel that allows you to slow down and cancel any move time for 25% of your meter. This has various, almost infinite appliances, most being non-damaging.
Again, you said you dont really play fighting games so i cant blame you, but I just disagreed on that point.
thanks for letting me know about that, should’ve done more research on them rather than just anecdotal so I appreciate ya. I plan to get more into the fighting genre and invest some time into them
I have this on my steam wishlist almost sice it came out on steam. After this vid i will probably just buy it.
haha wow, yea I recommend for sure or getting it when it goes on sale
I knew about this game's existence because of Jerma and Ster
9:33 I mean this as respectfully as possible: You don't understand traditional fighting games if this is your take. This game looks awesome though and this video convinced me to give it a shot!
haha yea I hear you, that was a bad take I’ve gone back on after getting into street fighter and learning about others. appreciate ya
@@blunderly No worries! Its still a pretty great video
Blunderly using big words scares me
How did you not mention that this game is basically just super hyper anime pong
I hadn’t even heard of that until this very comment but you right
never a hater always a lovah
i feel heard.
Baller
The fighting game I want on the switch is Power Stone. It was on Sega dream cast
I've never heard of it, would be interesting to see a lot of the niche sega games make a return to modern platforms in some capacity
I love LLB, even if I'm not that good at it. It's a shame you can only grab a game thru the discord tho
agreed, wish I could just boot up online and get quality matches but alas. I do love it too tho, and I’m not good at it either haha
i’m a big blunchan fan
that’s what I’m sayin
wow thats my bestie fr
this video is so slay!! (you don't exist)
how can our controllers be real if our hands aren't real
@@blunderly this is so deep, guys can we get 2 likes :((
I played this!
good!
I have a problem with the section about "special moves" at 8:24
First of all, to get the pedantic part out of the way, what you're referring to are "supers". "Special moves" are moves usually performed with a motion plus a button that don't require any resources, like a hadouken, while super moves require some sort of resource (Super meter, EX meter, Tension Gauge, etc.), that's the main difference. I'm sure you're aware of that, but I think it's important to get that out of the way first.
The biggest problem here is that you describe supers as "straight forward kill moves with not much utility", which is completely false. Most supers in fighting games are utility supers, and supers that only serve to deal damage are often considered quite bad. As an example, the most common type of super is the invincible reversal, a big move that makes its user completely invulnerable during its start-up whose main purpose is to escape pressure and knock the opponent away.
Even if you for some reason only consider supers that fit your definition of "kill moves" (which I will assume means supers that are used in combos for damage), there are so many factors that go into consideration beyond how much of the opponent's health bar you're taking away: Does it do stun? Do I get a better knockdown so I can continue pressure? Do I *sacrifice* my knockdown for pressure? So on and so forth
It's honestly quite baffling that you would assume such simplicity from a genre that you yourself admit to not be that interested in. I would recommend you do more research in the topics you cover in the future.
In any case, I love Lethal League Blaze, and I'm happy that there's people talking about it.
yea I’ve mentioned in other comments that I regret making that claim, after playing other fighting games recently like street fighter 6 and getting into the genre more that was really just a poor take. I appreciate your comment as it’s given even more insight into it that I still didn’t know, I appreciate ya.
As a walking talking fighting game encyclopedia I do have a problem with one specific claim you make. Super moves in fighting games aren't *always* big damage enders and kill options, or even really that often. Some games or series do fall into the habit of universally making most/all supers That Move That You Do At The End Of A Combo, namely Street Fighter (SF3 nothwithstanding), but there's equally a storied history of supers you do for various other utility, including as a punish option, as a reversal option, as a way to keep the opponent blocking during a mixup, as a mixup in and of itself, or even to enhance your basic moveset.
I'm not here to convince you that traditional fighters are better or that you should like them more than you do, I think Lethal League is amazing too! I understand your problem of not being able to get past the onboarding process, I've had that problem with every single fighter I've ever dabbled in (including Blaze). But the claim that fighting game supers are never interesting without any asterisks felt like a gross overgeneralization that I couldn't leave without correction. Keep up the good work!
ay I appreciate the feedback, you’re not the first to point this out and I agree! I’ve been trying out more fighting games and I see that was a boneheaded take of mine that came mostly from like only a surface level understanding of the genre. I’ll have to consult you if I do another vid on a fighting game someday lol you clearly know your shit.
@@blunderly I legitimately don't I'm bad at everything I've ever played, fighting or otherwise, and my most developed skill is parroting things I've heard from someone else. In fact this may have been my first and only original thought in a freak cosmic accident. Any feedback I could give you you'd be just as likely to find on Dustloop or an equivalent. I appreciate the faith in me though!
Approved by Simp gamer 62
I appreciate your approval simpgamer629
You sound exactly like nicholas cage
that’s a new one lol I’m cool with it
i only know of this game cause of jerma and star lmao
yea I found out about it thru some friends who played it after seeing them play it tbh lol
Fantastic video, but I gotta be real and just let you know that your comment at 8:31 is not really accurate to fighting games. What makes special moves interesting is their utility, and special moves that cost meter usually have even greater utility. A special move usually isn't considered 'good' if all it does is just do a lot of damage. I know this is pedantic, and I know your comment just comes from a lack of knowledge about fighting games, but... hey somebody had to say it.
No grudge here- great vid. seriously.
Thanks! And yea I agree, I recently have gotten into Street Fighter 6 and I hadn’t really played many fighting games before that but I see I was pretty wrong about special meters in general that’s my mistake
@@blunderly Oh damn was not expecting so fast a reply. Kudos. Fighting games are really cool, Lethal League is a pretty sick one. Hope you one day dip your toes into other parts of the genre, they're a lotta fun
@@Smitteys86 yea I’m defo more open to them since I’ve made that video lol even if it hasn’t been very long, appreciate the shout tho! let me know if you have any specific recommendations Id be down to try
Marry me blunderly
does this mean more fgc related content 👀👀??
lmaooo I couldn't tell you tbh, my next video is going to be on music in games, I don't have a niche I'm settling on
Super smash bros montage callback?
mega man montage was the goat
Everything is okay except audio kinda sucks imma be real
yo thanks for the feedback, still working on mastering audio it’s not my strong suit but it’s a sure fire improvement over my older stuff I think. anything in particular that bothered you with it?
first
