Lod776 Dude, one of the programmers got their job explicitly because they did Switch x Latch fanfiction and sent it to the main boss guy. I believe it was called "Of Teeth and Circuits."
+madvertiz0r Just as fun: you can hit the ball at the same time of locating a "Golden Rectangle," making it reach infinite rotation and maximum velocity. (Okay, you probably can't, but one can dream. :P)
I love how the zaibatsu have made all these hella cool friends, like Takahata, Max, English Rustleman, Swery65 and that unbelievably attractive doorman.
So, those of you who wish to measure the hype level, just keep an eye on that "Speed" counter on the bottom of the screen. When it breaks 1000, shit got real. :D
as soon as I saw this game I knew I was going to main Candyman, I still don't have the game but Candyman is still my main. I don't care what anyone says.
I love the Candyman kind of trope, where a character is CLEARLY a bat-shit insane person that is more than capable of just murdering peoples, but puts up the paper-thin facade of "I'm just really happy, smileyfaces". It's so awesome, I love those kinds of characters.
I didn't know I wanted jet set radio and smash bros wrapped in a creamy nougat and peanut butter layer of hand ball and animu tropes. What platform is this game on?
Hypest thing about this game is that there IS actually a fucking master hand style boss character. After the mirror match with anti-you in single player, the fucking boombox gets up off the bottom of the UI and becomes a super robot. Fucking sick.
That's crazy, it's on psn right now. Sorry for the slightly late reply. You can get lethal league and play online without ps+ and you can get this one game called lethal league blaze and play online with ps+ I'm pretty sure lethal league blaze is out right now. Go check it out! Edit: Gorillaz, Bonsai Pop and the horror show... I see you're a man of culture. (plus a few others)
I HAVE WAITED FOR SO LONG I HAVE ASKED MATT PERSONALLY WHEN THIS WAS COMING WHEN HE SAID, "SOON," I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM BUT NOW THAT IT IS HERE... I AM READY
I WANT TO PLAY THIS SHIT SO BAD. This kind of has a Jet Set Radio look/vibe to it. Not as far as the gameplay (obviously), but character designs, the music and the stages. And the art style too. Love it.
A few quick lessons: double tap to peform a special when the meter is full. when you bunt the ball and immediately hit it, it fills 2 pegs to your special meter. every character has diffrent angles, specials and move mechanics. the 2 meters at the bottom represent the time of the delay after hitting a hard ball. I just love the simple depth this Dutch game has Keep it up guys!
When the bars at the bottom fill up, the ball is let go from the hit. That is the visual cue that allows you to plan ahead, not just try to react to impossibly fast balls. Also, hitting the strike button twice is what triggers the special for every character except Switch.
So, dunno if they figure it out in the video but, the way super hit work is you have to get full meter through hitting the ball four times, than double tap the hit button when you his the ball next. Except with Switch, his super activates differently. I think you double jump into the ball or something? Raptor's Super hits the ball twice Switch's Super ??? Candyman's Super makes the ball phase through the wall on one side and come out the other side of the screen at the same angle. Latch's Super has him eat the ball momentarily and spit it out where you want Sonata's Super lets you change the ball's trajectory twice after the hit (I'm too slow to use it to it's full potential though) Dice's Super hit gives the ball a ping-pong esc arc until it hits a surface.
Switch 's ability is somewhat defensive. You hit jump twice, and the skateboard will begin to flip until he makes contact with the floor. If the ball hits the skateboard while it's flipping, Switch can then direct the ball towards one of four angled directions. (up-right, down-right, up-left, down-left). In a scramble/emergency/panic, Switch can try to just jump at the ball while kickflipping.
Little do we know, they're all playing on the same Keyboard, making Senpai not playing at his fullest and him not winning the tournament. Please rest in piece Senpai, may we carry on your legacy of being the best.
each character has their own angles, switch's special has to be done by pressing jump twice or while hes upsidedown while hitting the ball, bunting the ball while hitting it shields the ball for a short time, if candyman continues to hit his special while the ball is still his face it will go on until it hits an enemy or until the enemy hits it back, hitting a bunted ball gains 2 meter and there is no charge up time to launch it
Welcome true believers to what I call "Future Successful Fun Baseball!" In this game the goal is to beat each other with whatever you can find before the game starts. If you so happen to either be really smart or really lucky, you can reach God Speed with the, as Pat calls it, parry mechanic. In this game, the winner is always the one with the bigger, faster, and stronger balls. Have fun. God Bless at God Speed.
A "sex kick" is an aerial attack in which a foot or arm remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust. The term was coined by smasher Matt Deezie as a sexual innuendo referring to the properties of the attack in the original Super Smash Bros.
There is a final boss so Liam gets his "master hand" Also its hitting the strike button twice to activate supers. Minus switch who uses jump twice to use his but his is different cause he can only use it while jumping and he hits the ball with his skateboard beneath him
DacDaMan710 What kind of item or sports equipment would you think could match for this game? Here's my ideas: Crouquet paddle bat, golf club (putt -putt) and a tennis racket.
Fun fact: The creator of Lethal League said "Hey, you know fanfiction? All fanfiction made with the characters in my game is canon."
That's a horrifying thought.
Really? Time to start my Switch x Latch fanfic. Nothing can stop it! *evil laughter*
Lod776 Dude, one of the programmers got their job explicitly because they did Switch x Latch fanfiction and sent it to the main boss guy. I believe it was called "Of Teeth and Circuits."
crazyinsane500 Oh? I wonder if I could write a good enough fanfic could I be hired? If so then that would skip a few steps in my plan.
crazyinsane500 So that one Raptor x Latch one is real!?
You can hit the ball so hard, you accidentally summon King Crimson.
This made me laugh more than it needed to. "It just works."
+madvertiz0r Just as fun: you can hit the ball at the same time of locating a "Golden Rectangle," making it reach infinite rotation and maximum velocity. (Okay, you probably can't, but one can dream. :P)
I love how the zaibatsu have made all these hella cool friends, like Takahata, Max, English Rustleman, Swery65 and that unbelievably attractive doorman.
He's strangely attractive for a doorman.
Don't forget Zone-tan.
Asuka Rangurē Shikinami People try to forget Zone-tan but they just can't, the tentacles won't allow it
Also they hang out with fucking Stamper and Jontron.
Mac Martin Never forget the Big Papa Plague himself
This is the hypest shit I've seen in my goddamn life
Lethal League personifies hypest shit.
What I'm saying is that Lethal League is a person somewhere and the hype is too hot for TV.
Keep looking
Reality shits it's self as the game continues
Sprech41 at first i thougth this was a fighting game ..but now i get it ..
Raptor=TOP TIER TASTE
I certainly wasn't expecting lethal league in fisticuffs.
The music in this game is so. Fucking. Sick.
And now the guy who did Jet Set Radio did the trailer music for the sequel.
So, those of you who wish to measure the hype level, just keep an eye on that "Speed" counter on the bottom of the screen. When it breaks 1000, shit got real. :D
CyricZ If you look at the boombox volume you can also find out when the hitlag stops. Past 1000speed its really the only way to hit the ball.
I swear, all of these guys have amazingly contagious laughs.
as soon as I saw this game I knew I was going to main Candyman, I still don't have the game but Candyman is still my main. I don't care what anyone says.
Matt is blue, Pat is red, Woolie is green, and Liam is yellow. Stop messing with the natural order of things!
This is the first Lethal League let's play i've seen that hasn't gone gaga over Candyman.
Pat should always be Red.
Matt should always be Blue
Woolie should always be Green
And Liam should always be Yellow.
WHY WOULD YOU EVER DEVIATE?
GreenGearMood If there's a pink option for Liam is the only time I can think of.
GreenGearMood IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE SOMEHOW!
GreenGearMood I was just about to comment the same thingThey do this all the time
It's like they don't even care :'(
That GAME screen when Matt won with Candyman was perfect.
I love the Candyman kind of trope, where a character is CLEARLY a bat-shit insane person that is more than capable of just murdering peoples, but puts up the paper-thin facade of "I'm just really happy, smileyfaces". It's so awesome, I love those kinds of characters.
Benjamin Or when a character is just SO HAPPY, that they SEEM to be a crazy person putting up a facade.
Now THAT's meta. xD
I wish I knew more about the lore/characters/world etc of Lethal League. It looks super interesting.
Toffeehammer Devs confirmed that all fanfic is canon.
the steam trading cards for this game actually tells a little backstory for each character.
Did ya get lethal league blaze?
"How do i do the special?" "I dunno"
At least call this what it is, Scrublords.
5 year comment... Seems about right. How's quarantine doing?
This is what I miss~ four best friends getting together on the weekend playing games and getting hyped. The friendship and the hypeness~ u u.
We have been recovering from severe hype deficiency for years now since the breakup
I didn't know I wanted jet set radio and smash bros wrapped in a creamy nougat and peanut butter layer of hand ball and animu tropes. What platform is this game on?
PC.
***** thank you
Skip the PB for me, I'm allergic :P I'll take wrapped in cheese
Hypest thing about this game is that there IS actually a fucking master hand style boss character. After the mirror match with anti-you in single player, the fucking boombox gets up off the bottom of the UI and becomes a super robot. Fucking sick.
This game needs to be on PSN today
It's on PSN this Tuesday.
That's crazy, it's on psn right now. Sorry for the slightly late reply. You can get lethal league and play online without ps+ and you can get this one game called lethal league blaze and play online with ps+
I'm pretty sure lethal league blaze is out right now. Go check it out!
Edit: Gorillaz, Bonsai Pop and the horror show... I see you're a man of culture. (plus a few others)
"The UI at the bottom is great! And it's all unnecessary." *screams*
Windjammers.
Do it.
You want to.
I'm extremely on board with this decision. Please play windjammers eventually.
Tommy Whitaker Yo. Gotta live like a windrammer as you fuck.
Tommy Whitaker i was getting the same vibe!
Tommy Whitaker WE GOTTA PUSH WINDJAMMERS FOR SUMMERJAM
Guybrush Threepwood Not sure if thats a play on words or a typo.
The Gorillaz should be characters in this game.
TheSuperMerc Something inside me sez Y E S to that!
Air Hockey cost me my fingers.
Air hockey killed my father... And raped my mother.
Knifey McStab Dayum bro, thats rough. i know the feeling, Put-Put killed my brother....he just had to get his ball from the sand trap.....
Misaka Mikoto Cool story bro, I once played air hockey with some nerd who lost her fingers, Good times... good times.
Then how did you type this?
Knifey McStab Air hockey sacrificed my sister for more time on the clock
Y'know, under all those "HAVE A JAWBREAKER!", "EAT THIS!" and all the character's screams, the soundtrack sounds really awesome.
The beat for that character select reminds me of the hallway before the final boss in Streets of Rage.
Liam being an instant Latch main is a show of great taste
HAVE A JAWBREAKER
IT'S! OVER!
LETS ROLL!
THE CRITICAL ERROR WAS YOU
EASY PREY!
SWITCH FLIP!
They didn't figure out the volume tells you when the ball goes :(
And they didn't change any options! I hope they keep playing it off the air, because there's more depth to find out.
Zanpa This. So many missed systems....
I'm currently 14 minutes in but do they find out how to actually do special by double tapping the hit button when their bar is full?
No... SO MANY SYSTEMS MISSED!
They think it's automatic cause they spam hit.
THis reminds me of Jet Set Radio.
Switch is basically Roboy from JSR
Imagine my surprise and joy when I'm looking to buy this game, and I see my favorite youtubers made a video on it
The Lethal League Blaze video got put out today...and woo is it a good one
I think this has been the most interesting Fisticuffs episode... I couldn't look away until other fighting games.
I HAVE WAITED FOR SO LONG
I HAVE ASKED MATT PERSONALLY WHEN THIS WAS COMING
WHEN HE SAID, "SOON," I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM
BUT NOW THAT IT IS HERE...
I AM READY
Still one of the best intros in youtube history. Anyway, I want to see these guys play the sports game Deathrow from the original X-Box.
I can listen to "Ordinary Days" all day
:( miss these
I WANT TO PLAY THIS SHIT SO BAD. This kind of has a Jet Set Radio look/vibe to it. Not as far as the gameplay (obviously), but character designs, the music and the stages. And the art style too. Love it.
37:37 Woolie did you mean Jackie Robinson, the first black MLB player? Cause Smokey Robinson is a singer. Never heard Tears of A Clown?
HYPE: The Game
A few quick lessons:
double tap to peform a special when the meter is full.
when you bunt the ball and immediately hit it, it fills 2 pegs to your special meter.
every character has diffrent angles, specials and move mechanics.
the 2 meters at the bottom represent the time of the delay after hitting a hard ball.
I just love the simple depth this Dutch game has
Keep it up guys!

Raptor's Super hits the ball twice
Switch's Super ???
Candyman's Super makes the ball phase through the wall on one side and come out the other side of the screen at the same angle.
Latch's Super has him eat the ball momentarily and spit it out where you want
Sonata's Super lets you change the ball's trajectory twice after the hit (I'm too slow to use it to it's full potential though)
Dice's Super hit gives the ball a ping-pong esc arc until it hits a surface.

In a scramble/emergency/panic, Switch can try to just jump at the ball while kickflipping.
I really wonder how the video game characters feel in this game, with baseballs going at the speed of "Za Warudo" smashing them in the face.
Do you guys know the definition of a windjammer?
It's the agonizing screams of a stuck turd.
JEEEZUS.
This looks unbelievably hype! I need this game in my life.
Switch looks like RoBoy from jet set radio future
I've never seen Matt have so much genuine fun before :D
Little do we know, they're all playing on the same Keyboard, making Senpai not playing at his fullest and him not winning the tournament. Please rest in piece Senpai, may we carry on your legacy of being the best.
16:12 "ZA WARUDO!! TOKI WO TOMARE!"
I don't know what this is but It looks awesome and I want it.
God, something about this game, makes it always a joy to watch.
This is the coolest thing I have seen in ages! Next time I have a party with friends I need to play this with them.
God, I can't wait until this gets finally releases on consoles.
i could watch yall play this all day lmao. so much hype
This is basically smash mixed with jet set radio, like even Switch is pretty much Roboy
There's actually a small part of me that would like watching you guys do a co-coach 2v2 bloodbowl game
Liam just stopped talking like...5 minutes in.
He was like 'These fools...they're Let's Playing....I'm PLAY Playing."
Finally! Been waiting for this since I saw it way back when.
This is the first time in a long time where I saw you guys play a game and thought "I need that now"
This game's characters should have their own comic book series.
This game seriously needs to get funded more. Literally the hypest gameplay I've seen for a while.
This is a hype as game. I'd definitely play it if I could.
I'd play the shit out of it too. I just don't have any money for it.
I don't even have a computer.
Laptop?
Nein
each character has their own angles, switch's special has to be done by pressing jump twice or while hes upsidedown while hitting the ball, bunting the ball while hitting it shields the ball for a short time, if candyman continues to hit his special while the ball is still his face it will go on until it hits an enemy or until the enemy hits it back, hitting a bunted ball gains 2 meter and there is no charge up time to launch it
God the city night and padded room themes are the best :O
Looks like Woolie's back to his old FNF reign of terror again
1 year anniversary next week. Feels likes yesterday. Here's to another year.
Welcome true believers to what I call "Future Successful Fun Baseball!" In this game the goal is to beat each other with whatever you can find before the game starts. If you so happen to either be really smart or really lucky, you can reach God Speed with the, as Pat calls it, parry mechanic. In this game, the winner is always the one with the bigger, faster, and stronger balls. Have fun. God Bless at God Speed.
Baller Speed
Robo-Brinks CJ Speed, he kills Ballers, he must be faster.
With enough experience, you'll reach Ball-Polishing Speed!
It's Murder Time Fun Time!
I read this in stan lee's voice.
Damn! I was just thinking the last several weeks they should play this. AND NOW THEY ARE! SICK!
ABOUT TIME!
I've been waiting for this ever since the beta came out years ago!!
What the hell I never expected UK Garage in a SBF video literally all my interests colliding in one video
You guys need to play more of this. Please god.
I love candymans "DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!"
in case they don't figure it out, specials are activated by double tapping swing on hit with a full bar of meter
I'm pretty sure this is the only fighting game with robots, baseballs, and a DBZ style power level meter displayed on a boombox.
A "sex kick" is an aerial attack in which a foot or arm remains extended for a few moments after the initial thrust. The term was coined by smasher Matt Deezie as a sexual innuendo referring to the properties of the attack in the original Super Smash Bros.
Man I've been meaning to get this game... this video has made getting it a much higher priority. it looks fun as hell
This game looks super fun to play and was a blast to watch! I marked out for that Za Warudo bit!
If there was ever a game where frame rate was important, it's this one.
Yooooooo my heart actually sped up watching. This game is hype in a can.
I have been waiting for this since Smash was a possibility. I'm so happy.
Lol
Awesome episode. I love these Friday Night Fisticuffs and Saturday Morning Scrublords.
Liam is that one kid who brings his favorite game and doesn't tell anyone how to play
Pat is Player 1.
Woolie is Player 2.
Liam is Player 3.
Matt is Player 4.
You're welcome.
The most epic game of Super Smash Balls (best I could come up with) I've ever seen.
love lethal league, game is crazy when you get better at it.
Can confirm on Tumblr their is rule 34 on latch the croc.
FINNALLY! AND IT WAS GLORIUS! Such an enjoyable watch
There is a final boss so Liam gets his "master hand" Also its hitting the strike button twice to activate supers. Minus switch who uses jump twice to use his but his is different cause he can only use it while jumping and he hits the ball with his skateboard beneath him
my favorite episode ever
The art style and music is so Jet Set Radio.
I have been waiting for this for so long.
Oh man, Lethal league! Finally! this game needs more love.
Also, latch is the coolest.
This game needs 10 more characters.
DacDaMan710 What kind of item or sports equipment would you think could match for this game? Here's my ideas: Crouquet paddle bat, golf club (putt -putt) and a tennis racket.
LL hipster reporting in, been riding this hype train since day one, have been waiting so long for this FNF.
I haven't heard music this hype since killer instinct.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHIT SINCE NIDHOGG, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
When the ball really starts going everyone turns into a DDZ character screaming while they charge up.
why is this not in life already??
It's good to have you back FNF.
Candyman is the best character. Jesse Cox proved that.
