This one got away from me a little, so it may be too short notice for you to travel last minute - in that case I want you to tune into the stream at least! But I'm getting ahead of myself. The community is hosting a tournament at Combo Breaker next week, Sunday May 28. Two players had already committed a $350 pot bonus. We are rounding it up to $500. If you happen to be in the area that day (Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center near Chicago) and want to take part: All community tournaments only require a spectator pass, which is $30 for a day. Got that or already are a competitor at Combo Breaker? The signup for Blaze is over on the All In Together: Community Tournaments page. (signup may be closed while they arrange brackets for minimal conflicts - check again later, if you cannot sign up at the moment) The tournament will start at 4PM and the top 4 stream will begin around 6PM (the time this steam event is scheduled for) on IFCYipes. Now, to get a bit ahead of the curve and prepare you for what's to come before we post individual events about each, a list of other local tournaments this year:

HELLO!
The European Blaze community is gathering for a local tournament at Hessen Crash in Bad Hersfeld, Germany on October 15.
It's a side event, but with the amount of top players committed to travel and compete we decided to give it a push and sponsor it!
That includes a 500 pot bonus, a trophy for first place and YinYin at the event all weekend with whatever merchandise he can carry there.
If you ever wanted to meet and challenge top players like JawDrop, Cherry, Neerasure and many more, this is the place to be at.
The tournament will be played on PCs. That means all types of input methods should work, but two keyboard players meeting may still pose a challenge. Be ready to use a backup in that case.
Matches are planned to be streamed on twitch.tv/dawn_of_revival
A competitor pass is 35 until Oktober 7, spectator entry is free.
And if you want to convince someone interested in a different kind of cultural event to accompany you on a trip there, the town happens to be hosting the oldest German Volksfest in the very same week.

Long ago, when he was still in his early adulthood, Nitro spent his days doing odd jobs that needed muscle. One of these stints was fighting in the local wrestling league. In his biggest match to date he accidentally pulled off the mask of his opponent and an opportunistic thief made off with it mid-match. Nitro immediately stopped fighting and vowed to continue the fight only when he returned it. And he left and never returned. Some say he is still looking for the mask to finish that legendary match.

Speaking of which, the community modding expert in chief MrGentle has created an excellent public leaderboard website: https://blazelb.xyz
Unlike the steam front-end we've been using to archive previous seasons it is not limited to displaying the top 200 players and can instead fetch you the entire list. It even tracks daily rank and score movements.
But here is the absolute cherry on top: It also exposes player statistics we never got around to properly present you ourselves. If the steam profile is public, you can view the win and play rates per character.

When Jet caught her breath she was just outside of the burning hideout. Smoke was already filling the badly lit alleyway. Then it hit her; her trusty jetpack was still inside. Flames were spitting out of the doorway, it didn't look like she was able to go back in like this. She ran out to the street and saw the Shine City fire brigade setting up their gear. She pleaded to them to try and find the jetpack, to no avail. They sure weren't risking their lives for some 'toy'. Jet, not one to give up on a friend, smoothly zipped into one of their spare suits and jumped into the fire.

We ran into an issue with pivots on the latest release and picked that opportunity to improve a few things!
The outfits for Grid win by a small but decisive margin! This one could truly have gone the other way, if just a few Merchranger supporters had picked Nitro instead. But it seems these outfits aren't Grid at all ...
Who is this then?
Back when Grid entered Shine City in hopes of expanding System's territory, he decided to set up a power provider telemarketing scam company 'Quality Output'. It was not to last, because the Shine City Police quickly busted the operation. To his surprise, Grid was standing face to face with his long lost brother Volt, now 'agent Volt' of the police's High Charge Devastator Unit. The two were well matched and to Grid's advantage, the ensuing fight destroyed all evidence and caused a city wide blackout.

Here are the 5 outfits that are 30% off for Halloween until 2 November: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1399791/Lethal_League_Blaze__Gigahertz_Visualizer_X_outfit_for_Doombox/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1174410/Lethal_League_Blaze__Master_of_the_Mountain_outfit_for_Dust__Ashes/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1204070/Lethal_League_Blaze__Heavyduty_R_Evolution_outfit_for_Raptor/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244880/Lethal_League_Blaze__Late_Stage_Illmatic_outfit_for_Dice/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1269880/Lethal_League_Blaze__Nuclear_Nourishment_outfit_for_Toxic/
High up in a seemingly abandoned skyscraper, on an empty floor without entrance there stands a single large closet. In that closet hangs a contraption, something from a time Toxic would rather not think about. Using the data she had found on Latch, she delved into questionable arts and created an ivory automaton. As a product of her mindstate at the time it turned erratic and hostile. Now it's sealed away, set to activate if Toxic would ever be captured by the Shine City Police.

The alternate version of the "Ivory Puppet: Killer" outfit is the "Ivory Puppet: Mourner":

A mysterious figure has been spotted causing trouble in the sewers ...

Switch wins by a landslide (3.7k votes), outnumbering the combined votes for Nitro (1.4k) and Grid (1.6k). These two will see a rematch in November.
Without further delay, here is the outfit you voted for!
[previewyoutube=lDBPqPMeoX4;full][/previewyoutube]
One hot summer Switch was fed up with cruising the same old streets and decided to go on a skating roadtrip. Of course, he first made a quick detour to go pick up some spare parts at the Citynetics factory. Immediately after entering a server room Switch tripped, fell and short circuited his motherboard into a full-on robo-hallucination trip. As the 'Mechranger' he traveled many worlds and saw the true name of things. He recounted his tales to Raptor and told him how Rex is the founder of citynetics and turned Latch into a cyborg. Raptor responded "What are you even talking about you can of beans?".
The alternate version of the Insectoid Loneriding Mechranger outfit is the Galaxy's Edge Mechranger:

Choose one of these three outfits to be the next DLC:
Finally releasing the Doombox outfits individually last week was a bit of a bumpy ride! Turns out granting the Doombox DLC to all existing Soundtrack owners made it impossible to purchase the new bundle (or the Soundtrack, when owning Doombox first). To resolve this we removed Doombox as a bonus outfit from the Soundtrack, but everyone who purchased it before today still owns the outfit individually. If you had any trouble completing this new bundle before, it works now! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16023/Soundtrack__Outfits_Bundle/
[previewyoutube=tEx1uz0AOhs;full][/previewyoutube]
During a hefty Lethal League Match between Doombox and Sonata, Doombox suddenly transformed back into his Boombox form and spit out an indescribable entity. Sonata was taken aback at the way it crept towards her when it suddenly leaped at her. Sonata's vision faded and her mind spiralled out of consciousness... When she came to, she could feel the beat of her boomhammer flow through her veins. This is not bad at all...
The alternate version of the Stereo Overdrive Arachnida outfit is the Midnight Tinnitus:

This is how Toxic came upon her new equipment:
Seeing the potential in Dust & Ashes, Toxic took on an odd-job in the West Shine City Hospital to find out more about the person Dust was before his amnesia. Having found no trace of such a patient while going through the records, she instead found out about certain classified medical experiments. She didn't care much about the subject as she did for the high tech equipment they had made for it that was supposedly stashed away in an underground South Shine City facility. In between vats filled with spinal cords that didn't seem human, she found what she was looking for. Gear for a special occasion.
The alternate version of the Nuclear Nourishment outfit is the N. N. Second Opinion:

Here is a refresher of everything to look forward to when the Medical Mashup hits next week!

What got him wrapped up like that? Read on:
When Dice was caught by the Shine City Police in the Sewage Facility he was forced to make his escape by dropping straight down into the pipes. Now, the Sewage Facility doesnt just contain simple waste water. Full of unspeakable toxins and experimental bacteria, Dice soon lost consciousness. Some time passed and in a stroke of luck, Latch detected his lifeless body on his Robo-Subs sonar. While in Latchs care, Dice bandaged his own diseased skin and quickly fled into the darkness as if possessed by some primal instinct. He was spotted destroying his long time rival Doombox in a match not long after.
The alternate cursed version of the Late Stage Illmatic is the Lethal Infection colorway:

And it comes with a story:
"In an attempt to find out more about his past, Raptor tracked a piece of Rex Works equipment back to Citynetics, Shine City's biggest construction company. After infiltrating the Citynetics factory with the help of Switch, he locked himself in one of the higher offices. Scrambling through some important documents, he noticed the names of the board directors. Reginald, Edgar and Xavier Saur. A loud bang erupted from the door. The guards had him cornered. Having lost his bat along the way, Raptor grabbed what gear he could find and mowed himself through the door."
As usual the pack has two variants:
- The Heavyduty R. Evolution colorway. A bright overall with warning sign colors.
- The Nightmare Survivalist colorway. A fever dream inspired monster look.
Hellooo Mama
The Shadow Surge Update is live! Once you boot up that sweet LLB, the new character Dust & Ashes is unlocked straight away! But before you do, listen up for the latest in Shine City.
Dust & Ashes
Sentenced to death and hanged. In his final moment he was hit by lightning. The word 'Dust' echoed in his mind as he was thrown into a state of limbo between life and death. His shadow was split from his body and turned into an entity called Ashes. Dust carries with him a watch that stopped on the exact time of his execution.
Dust has some spicy angles, an asynchronous special using Ashes and a gameplay mechanic that allows him to float around the stage. Try holding his taunt for some slick stylo.
[previewyoutube=cs0jFDsxwhg;full][/previewyoutube]
Ranked
The ranked mode on steam goes into a new season! The ranks will be reset once more and should be a lot more flexible this time. Now, without further ado, this season's HALL OF FAME
Hold on tight, these will later come to Steam with the Shadow Surge update as well.
We have reworked all character models and stages, tweaked visuals and drove over the code with a bulldozer a couple of times to vastly improve performance on Nintendo Switch in both docked and handheld mode. A 1v1 matchmaking mode is added for the competitively minded among a myriad of other fixes. Heres the full list:
Well well, look who decided to show up...
Straight from the hereafter, it's Dust & Ashes
Sentenced to death and hanged. In his final moment he was hit by lightning. The word 'Dust' echoed in his mind as he was thrown into a state of limbo between life and death. His shadow was split from his body and turned into an entity called Ashes. Dust carries with him a watch that stopped on the exact time of his execution.
https://youtu.be/cs0jFDsxwhg
Dust & Ashes is going to join the stacked roster of Lethal League Blaze, no charge!
The Shadow Surge Update
The boyos are not yet fully assembled yet, so you'll have to wait for the 'Shadow Surge' update to drop before you can start playing with them. We'll be showing more stuff that we'll add in that update in the coming weeks. This will include the changes and optimizations we made for the console version of the game, which means the game will run better on Steam as well (but we have a good hunch that existing mods will break and need a workaround).
Speaking of consoles, when can they expect the Shadow Surge update? Due to the strict patching guidelines on game consoles it won't be simultaneous. The Nintendo Switch version is still scheduled to get the optimizations patch first after all!

Looking at the official soundtrack on Steam we figured it needed something extra. And who else than Doombox to spice up any album?
As the first time we do a kind of exclusive outfit, it needed to be something special. So we made it that both variations have visualizers that respond to the live sound in the game.
Here's how it looks:
https://youtu.be/2juyQvy8VQM
Gigahertz Visualizer X and Gigahertz Visualizer Z are available now for you to pick online and offline if you have the Lethal League Blaze - Soundtrack DLC in your library.
The Bundle
If you're not part of the league yet and you're looking to get a grand entry into the game, we created a Game + Soundtrack & Special Outfit bundle. This will give you everything that available so far at a 15% discount.
Mini Breakdown:
- Fixed that the CPU in the Story Mode would sometimes refuse to use a Power up
- Added Gigahertz Visualizer X
- Added Gigahertz Visualizer Z

Modding
On to the BIG modding news: we've found a way modders can modify the character models and throw 'em ingame without too much hassle. Our own Nilsuke is making a guide and although it's not finished yet, but you can already download the official modding package containing all the character models with bones usable for model swapping so you can get going.
http://lethalleagueblaze.com/charactermodels/LLB_Character_Models.zip
For now, be aware that every bone should influence at least one part of the model. This makes it harder to do full model swaps. We will probably find something for this in the future.
Here are some examples of things you can do already:
Head on over to #modding on the official Discord if you feel up for this and want to help eachother out.
