Buddy
|
Buddy is one of the gamemode available in Brawlhalla. It can be played in Custom Online matches and is sometimes available as the Brawl Of The Week.
This gamemode was added as part of the Adventure Time crossover.
Mechanics
In the Buddy gamemode, teams of up to 2 players each compete against each other. Each player selects two different Legends before the game starts. During the match, each player will control both of their selected Legends at the same time. This means that all attacks are mimicked, and if a player picks up a weapon both Legends get a weapon. Players earn +2 points for getting a KO and lose -1 point for getting KO'd. The team with the most points by the end of the match wins.
There are certain mechanics that allow finer control of each legend:
- If the legends are too far apart, then while moving around, whichever legend faces the other will move towards it.
- If the down button is held for more than 13 frames, both legends will face eachother, and if too far apart, will move towards eachother.
- If a player holds dodge for more than 10 frames, control over the second legend picked will be suspended; once the dodge button is released, the player will regain control of the second legend. If this is activated when the second legend is charging a signature or a throw, the charge will be released.
The only two maps available in Buddy are Under the Canopy and Kung Foot Arena, which are both very small maps with no way to get knocked off the map.
Because of this, the way to score KOs is very different. A legend dies from a hit if the legend has atleast 150 damage and the attack has more than 250 force. A legend that dies will bounce around the map a few times and then get properly KOed. If one of the player's Legends gets KO'd, only that Legend will be KO'd, not both.
Maps
There are two maps available in Buddy matches; a unique map made for the mode, and another map borrowed from the Kung Foot mode:
