PATCH SUMMARY

On the last version update (1.11.2), I put here that the next version would be v.2.0.0, and that the game would switch from 3D format to 2D. Although I was able to get 2D to work, it was extremely clunky and felt a lot worse to play. Jumping would not face you downwards unless you turned around twice, trying to fix the code made it so that the character kept constantly switching facing direction every 100 milliseconds. Some abilities with knockback, especially Ashe's coach gun, would knock characters out of the bounds of the 2d area, despite the fact I coded it to teleport characters back in if they left it. Wall climbing on Genji felt very weird and clunky, and aimed attacks from projectile and hitscan heroes alike felt AWFUL. So 2D won't be coming to Overbrawl, but the other features and new hero and rework ideas are still on the table. Blocking attacks is a new feature as of v1.11.3 though!

Current Version: v1.11.3

Welcome to OVERBRAWL!, a fighting game slightly inspired by Guilty Gear. The game is played in a 1v1 or 2v2 format, and you need to win up to 3 rounds to win, by either eliminating the enemy team or having more players alive on your team when the time runs out.

UNIVERSAL ABILITIES

Bubble Block
-Holding Interact on any character will Bubble Block, which blocks all attacks at the cost of ult charge.

Sweep
-Crouch + Melee to sweep an enemy, which knocks them on the ground, stunning for longer than a default attack.

Block
-Walking backwards while standing will block any high and air attacks, but is open to low hits. Walking backwards while crouched blocks high and low, but not air attacks. There is a 0.08s (5 frames) delay before you are counted as blocking, and can still be hit.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO

-Stuns do not provide invulnerability, but being knocked down (except for specific moves, like Honorable Reinhardt Shatter) provides the phased out status until 0.096s after wakeup.
-As of 1.11.1, if a 1v2 scenario occurs (whether a teammate died or you don't have one) you now gain a passive 35% damage resistance.
-Emoting gives +10% ult charge to all players (If the emoting player is on Lucio, they gain +15%).
-Future heroes that will be added:

• Soldier 76: A simple rushdown character with risky and committal abilities but good pressure.
• Ramattra: Requiring good resource management, Ramattra is able to summon omnics to help him fight, and apply devastating pressure in his Nemesis stance, which grants him access to strong special abilities.
• Kiriko: Untouchable by enemies if used properly, as some of her specials provide an intangibility effect. These abilities usually leave her vulnerable if timed incorrectly, as they have longer startup and recovery windows. Very dependent on reading the enemy's next move.
• Brigitte: A mid/long-ranged zoner, keeping the enemy away from her with her whipshot attacks.
• Venture: Insane rushdown pressure with their Drill, Venture is left incredibly vulnerable if the Drill runs out of Battery, as they have limited options for attacking or escaping.
• Pharah: Less burst movement than other rushdowns and is vulnerable to anti-air attacks with most of her moves.
• Symmetra: Still in concept, so likely won't make it into V2. All I know is she'll be a zoner.
• Sigma: Same as Sym, still in concept.

HEROES, AND THEIR ABILITIES EXPLAINED

The controls/inputs for each ability is listed below the description, but this section is here to break down what new abilities do.

---

ASHE

Passive

-Ashe must deal damage to aim with her rifle.

Contact Grenade

-While she is crouching, Coach Gun has been replaced with Contact Grenade, which does ok damage but is mainly useful for stunning enemies and knocking them back with its very forgiving radius.

---

CASSIDY

Passive

-Focus Meter: Cassidy can only fire his gun during Focus Aim, which drains the Focus Meter. When the meter is empty, he cannot shoot again until the meter is more than 25% full. Regenerates overtime, but the refill can be sped up with Concentrate or by using his ultimate.

Deadlock Jab

-Cassidy throws a slow but heavy jab. knocks the enemy upwards, has more damage than quick melee, and has a 4m range, but has a slightly longer startup.

Focus Aim

-Pressing Ability 2 while standing will slow Cassidy's move speed while allowing him to use his primary fire. Damage dealt will stun the enemy. Any damage taken will stun you and cancel Focus Aim. Cassidy can shoot as long as his Focus meter is not empty. The meter drains at 12%/second, and 21% per shot fired. His ultimate refills most of the Focus Meter very quickly. Focus Aim can be cancelled by crouching.

Concentrate

-Refills a chunk of the Focus Meter very quickly, but leaves Cass vulnerable to attacks for a moment.

---

DOOMFIST

Kinetic Shot

-Shooting while crouched will make Doomfist punch a ball of kinetic energy forward. It deals decent damage and applies a short stun. Has invulnerability frames on startup.

Rising Uppercut

-When on the ground, pressing Crouch and Power Block will uppercut an enemy within quick melee range. Has invulnerability frames on startup.

One-Punch Install

-Only available with 100% ult charge and less than 100hp (including overhealth). Triples rocket punch's damage, and slows down time while punch is charging. Lasts until the end of the round.

Seismic Bringer

-Doomfist stalls in the air for a moment before slamming to the ground, knocking down enemies hit that are not crouching or in the air.

---

GENJI

Shuriken

-Deals minimal damage, has a slow projectile speed, and stalls Genji's gravity and movement during use, but is Genji's only poke ability. Has infinite ammo.

Chaos Strike

Sol Eterna

-Illari slides through enemies in a short range, knocking down and damaging them if they are not in the air.

Backblast

-Illari turns around, firing a heavy shot from her gun which propels her backwards. The shot deals more damage and has a bigger radius than Solstice, but doesn't travel very far. Mainly meant as a means for her to close the gap on heroes like Ashe or Cassidy, but does damage and stun if Illari collides with someone.

---

JUNKER QUEEN

Passive: Wound healing dealt increases JQ's Rampage Meter, using her ultimate will immediately fill the meter as well. Damage dealt with her shotgun will reduce the gauge. When the Rampage meter is filled it doubles her damage, but lowers her move speed and drains her health. It also disables her shotgun.

• When Hogs Fly: A giant roadhog falls from the sky, knocking down all enemies when he lands.
• Thanks, Friend!: A friendly roadhog spawns in the center of the map, using his ult and spinning around for 3 seconds.
• ...Friend?: Same as the last event, but this roadhog is hostile to Junkrat's team.

Junkenstein's Cookbook

-While jumping, pressing Ability 1 causes Junkrat to lob a small scrap ball at the enemy.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock!

-If Ability 1 is pressed while crouched and looking at an enemy within 2.5m, Junkrat places a bomb on the enemy, which stops them from blocking for a few seconds before detonating, which damages them and knocks them upward.

Tu'i Tua

ZENYATTA

Passives: After losing certain amounts of health, change forms. Full HP = Harmony form, 200 is Chaos form, and at 100HP is Discord form.
