Combo Techniques In Brawlhalla

Brawlhalla techniques are strategies or methods used along with the Brawlhalla combos to achieve specific goals within a game, such as advancing to higher levels or when the players want to win; these techniques can include mastering the gameplay mechanics and using specific items or abilities.

String 

A String is a series of attacks, movements, or signatures that can be executed in such a way as to maximize the ability to continuously pile up damage for a knockout while simultaneously providing as little room for the opponent to escape.

Dash  

To move quickly, you can use a technique called “Dash” by pressing the Dodge button and a side directional button when your character is on the ground, providing a burst of speed.

• If you hold the directional button after dashing, your character will start sprinting.
• To Dash forward after attacking, press down instead of the directional button, as the regular Dash input will cause a Chase Dodge.
• A Dash jump can be performed by dashing in any direction and then immediately jumping, resulting in a forward jump with more momentum.

Dodge Read

In Brawlhalla, a “Dodge Read” refers to a strategy where players predict and react to the opponent’s dodge by following up with an attack.

• Dodge is a defensive move that allows the players to quickly move out of harm’s way by pressing a certain button combination.
• By anticipating the opponent’s dodge direction, players can position themselves to land an attack when the opponent is vulnerable, making it a powerful strategy to use in combat.
• A dodge read requires quick reflexes and precise timing, and it can be a key component of high-level gameplay in Brawlhalla.

Gravity Cancelling 

Gravity Cancelling is a technique that can be used to catch opponents off-guard, create new combo opportunities, and gain a positional advantage over an opponent.

• This technique allows the players to perform grounded attacks while airborne, giving the element of surprise and the ability to perform unique combos.
• To perform a Gravity Cancel, players must input a ground attack while in mid-air, which will cause the character to immediately stop and perform the attack.
• It requires precise timing and execution, and it can leave the players vulnerable if not used correctly.
• This technique can be used to catch opponents off-guard, create new combo opportunities, and gain a positional advantage over an opponent.

Fast Falling

Ledge Cancels

If players perform a Down Light attack, down a signature, Ground Pound, or a dash when the lower part of the character’s hitbox is on the platform, it will result in a ledge cancellation.

• This will quickly snap the character to the platform and execute the move that was inputted.
• Ledge canceling can be made easier by jumping sideways, which allows the character to hover over the platform for a longer time.
• It is also possible for the players to ledge cancel right after dropping through a platform.

Gadget Catching

• You can catch any Gadget thrown in the air by pressing the grab button at the correct time.
• This technique can be beneficial when your opponent is throwing bombs, but it also involves some risk.
• There is a dedicated training room in Training Mode for practicing this technique of catching bombs.

Slide Charging

• Slide Charge can be performed by using a signature move while falling off the ledge.
• The technique involves running toward the ledge and then executing the move.
• However, not all signature moves can be slide charged.
• Additionally, players can perform a reverse slide charge by facing the opposite direction and falling off the ledge with a Slide Charge.

Types Of Attacks

There are different types of attacks that a player can utilize depending on the situation. 

Ground Attacks

• In Brawlhalla, Ground Attacks refer to the moves that can be performed while standing on the ground.
• Each character in Brawlhalla has a unique set of ground attacks that can be used to deal damage to opponents, knock them off the stage, and secure KOs.

Neutral Light

This simply means pressing the light attack button with no particular direction selected.

Side Light

This means pressing the light attack button while holding your character’s movement towards the left or right sides.

Down Light

This means pressing the light attack button while holding down your character’s movement.

Air Attacks

• Brawlhalla features a set of moves that can be executed while the players are airborne, called Air attacks.
• These attacks are specific to each character and can be employed to inflict damage on opponents, force them off the stage, or achieve a knockout.

Neutral Air

This is the same as neutral Light, but you’re in the air.

Side Air

This means you’re in the air and holding a side like Side Light.

Down Air

Same as the other air ones, it means holding down while in the air, just like Down Light.

Recovery

The recovery move is self-explanatory as it helps you recover by pressing any movement button besides down to recover from an animation.

Ground Pound

Holding down on the ground and pressing the heavy attack helps you hit the ground with both strength and speed.

Signature Attacks

• These are the signature moves that are specific to the legends that the players use.
• They follow the same terminology as the other attacks, such as Down Signature, Neutral Signature, and so on.

Movement

Dashing forward causes the character to run with their hands out behind their back, while Dashing backward results in a backflip.
