I'm surprised they pulled an Urchin Underpass and yanked one of the arenas from ranked. It'll probably come back, with some changes.

Impressed with the changelog.

I definitely don't regret it. It's so much fun. I'm pretty sure this is going to surpass my playtime for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe pretty easily.

When I jumped into Party Match the first match I played was 3 player Hedlok Scramble. Another player got the Hedlok ball, but both decided to beat up on me. So I had 8 arms flying at me. I didn't last long... This mode seems like chaotic fun.

Looking at my stats I see why I hate hoops. I had a 87 win % in V-ball, but a whopping 38% for hoops... fuck hoops.

My hoops win rate is at 80 and v-ball at 70. People are bad at hoops.

This game makes me laugh. Max is awesome, full of zaniness like all other characters. I love this game. Pure fun.

All his poses and talk is crazy good.

Weird that it lists Sky Arena as my best stage for Version 1. I... don't play party mode that much. Also, Popper/Cracker/Hydra nerfs! godisreal.gif

Okay you know how I said fuck 1v1v1.

Well Hedlok scramble the new mode makes it really fun.

It adds another layer of strategy.

Still waiting to get it lol.


Loving Max Brass, love loud boisterous characters so he's fitting that role quite nicely for me. Love his default kit too. Only 1-2 other max brass's in my party room atm, kinda surprised. People lose a game on him and swap out.

Yeah this game is gonna look like a different package in a few months.

Didn't expect this much in this new update. Its also nice to see the developers listen to the complaints.

Weird, I feel like Max Brass helped me tap into my rage. I almost came back from the magic pixel & sent the enemy to the brink. But sadly, rage blinded me & led to my defeat for the round. That said, I won the entire match.

Max Brass is fun to play as.

His buff mode takes a while to get use to but damn does it feel like a completely different game lol.

The even weirder part is that when my rage boiled over, I was landing more of my punches than usual as Max Brass & bodied the guy in the 3rd round.

Max Brass is AWESOME. I didn't think I'd like playing as him too much since I'm a Ribbon Girl main, but he feels surprisingly nimble.

Not sure why some here are saying his arms don't curve much. The Nades in particular are easy to whip left and right to chase down targets.

And two of his three arms EXPLODE!

I think I dont understand Max. You can only buff when you're low on HP? (Like spring man?) I remember the CPU going buff regularly.

Max Brass is great, the other changes seem very solid.

Am I the only Helix main????

Anyone get to the end of Grand Prix yet? Curious to see what they changed.

Max Brass's own GP is a regional tour where he starts out in Spring Man's stage. You still fight Max Brass but I don't know what the announcer says. Not sure if anyone has done it on 7 yet, don't think so.

Do a FULL CHARGE after a Dash or Jump, a la Min Min.

It lasts for ~5s or until knocked down I think. You can do it again while buffed.

This game's AI is so god damn frustrating. I've been stuck on Barq & Bite since release on level 4 difficulty and I can't beat him. It doesn't help that the physical controls for punching are awful and my punches miss 50% of the time and the AI instantly blocks every time I unleash a special.

I've been stuck at rank 9 for weeks, after this patch I got to rank 10 in 30 mins. It felt like all the cobras were struggling lol

With the addition of Max Brass, I was thinking of other possible character ideas.

One that I thought was solid was a cowboy with rope arms. His three Arms could be Revolvers, TNT, and Spurs. His name could be something like Roy Round-Up.

Has anyone else thought of any other possible character ideas? Its neat to think how different and varied the characters are.
