Combine this with a double jump or a fast fall, and you can bunt out of your special and smash the ball very quickly. You can go straight vertically up or down, or diagonally up-left/up-right. The angles you can release at are a bit different when you bunt. If you hold the Bunt button while in the tornado animation, the ball will be bunted when it is released instead of hit. You can use this to fake out people who try to predict the timing of the release. This will make you stay in the tornado animation for a second longer before releasing the ball, and add a bit more speed to it. You can also delay the ball release by holding the Swing button when you activate the special. This gives you six different trajectories to send the ball that you can choose, and launches very quickly. You can send it horizontally in front or behind you, or diagonally up/down in front or behind you. While you’re in this spin, you can hold a direction to send the ball to. When he uses it, he flies into a tornado-looking spin (see the picture above).
Raptor can use his special out of a regular hit or a smash hit. Let’s get into what each character can do now. Depending on your character, your special will do different things. When the meter is full, hit the ball and press the Swing button again before you release it (you can also press the Grab button). This will give you the last charge to fill your meter. By default, you need 4 charges to fill the meter. To use your special, you first have to fill up your special meter. The special meter is just below it, and it has three charges. The League also pays very well, enough for Raptor to support himself and live while he hunts for the one who killed his parents, though this remains un-expanded on.Above is an image of the health bar and special meter. In addition to this, Sonata is a breakdancer and is trying to boost her fame and recognition- and though this is possibly an underground profession, not too much fame can be earned in a scene where most people aren't allowed to know you are. But due to the City Streets stage and the fact that in the original voice acting recruitment flavor text for LL Latch was mentioned to dislike being forced to play in the league- it almost seems like a sanctioned gladiatorial type sport. Who is it run by? Doombox? Why does he attack you at the end of the challenge mode? What is his purpose?įirst off, it's easy to think of the League as underground and I almost want to believe that is true.
It is mentioned that Raptor's home was wiped out by an Oribtal Strike in the original flavor text for recruiting voice actors which leads me to believe the government is trying to take out threats- or there is war. Also, in the City Streets stage, there is a tank standing by (though I will discuss this further later) and at a certain point a riot breaks out. This can be concluded somewhat through the street punk feel of the game, the creation of the league, and from the stages and backgrounds.ĭuring the Hammer Express stage the skyline can be seen scrolling by and multiple buildings carry the same signs and logos, leading me to believe they are all owned by the same corporation. The world of Lethal League seems to be post-modern corporation owned/run with anarchy/rioting taking a rise. So we'll be talking about some of that here!
So I think that this game has a very good feel to it and the characters are so uniquely quirky that I feel this universe wouldn't be out of place in a comic or show of some form, but the lore is only lightly touched on.
