History YMMV / Brawlhalla

* UncannyValley: The way Magyar's crawls on the hammer side signature can be very unsettling. [[NightmareFuel It gets worse in Switchcraft, especially with the souls.]]

* GuideDangIt: Some of the Battle Pass missions require you to win using specific characters. Some of them like "Characters native to Asgard" or "Members of the Valhallan Ladies' Book Club" can be deduced from reading the lore entries, but others like "Characters used to win the (X) tournament" or "Characters who include "bot" in their bot name" are just obscure enough that you'll either try out until you come across them or just go out and google them.

** When playing online in free-for-all or lower ranks, it's common that people will continually use signature moves. Some legends commonly associated with this playstyle are Queen Nai, Teros, Thatch, and Orion. It doesn't help that the each week of battlepass missions will be guaranteed to have 3 missions that require getting wins, [=KOs=], or damage with specific weapons. Cue a large portion of the community to play as legends that have 2 of those weapons at once.

** Since the introduction of greatsword, it's been used in large tournaments by a vast majority of players due to the relative ease of use (Not as finnicky as scythe, not as weak as katars, not as range-dependent as blasters) and very high [=KO=] potential.

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''VideoGame/RivalsOfAether''. In a show of good-natured competition, lead ''Rivals'' developer [[https://twitter.com/danfornace/status/804029768874086400 Dan Fornace once challenged]] the developers of ''Brawlhalla'' to a contest to see whose Twitter account could reach 20k followers first, with the loser having to make a skin based on the victor's game. In the end, [[https://twitter.com/Anyny00/status/809194597972840448 Brawlhalla won by a large margin]], but the contest created something of a FriendlyRivalry between the fans of both games.

** [[{{Ninja}} Hattori]] has been on the receiving end of this for a while. She has two of the best weapons in the game, great signatures with large coverage, and has one of the highest speed stats in the game. She's also beginner friendly, and has a lot of options for high level play.

* DarthWiki/NightmareFuel: With the introduction of Magyar and his signatures, this adds in potential creepypasta should players ever combine him with Switchcraft.[[note]]A gamemode that scrambles legend weapons and signatures[[/note]] Whoever ends up getting his hammer or greatsword will have exorcisms when performing these signatures, particularly either weapons' neutral or side signatures. Doesn't help that the characters are programed to use their KO'd expression for them. Magyar only has his eyes dissapear so his helm looks empty, but for most characters, they may be mistaken for dead or at least in a lot of pain.

* CrazyAwesome: Because of the legends being... legends, there are some examples.
** [[{{Pirate}} Thatch]] fires literal cannonballs out of his [[HandCannon blasters]], and those cannonballs also happen to [[MadeOfExplodium explode.]]
** [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Xull]] uses both a [[BigFuckingGun cannon]] and an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] with the ''highest strength stat in the game.''

* CrazyAwesome: Because of the legends being... Legends, there are some examples.

** '''Mid Tier:''' Rocket Lance[[note]]Can kill quickly but has glaring weaknesses, recovery move can end prematurely if it hits and opponent[[/note]], Cannon[[note]]Large hitboxes and high damage but is slow and predictable.[[/note]]

* CharacterTiers: Because of patches, the game's weapon and legend tierlists usually vary with four exceptions:
** [[{{Ninja}} Hattori]] and [[CatsAreMean Asuri]] are almost always on the top of tierlists, and have generally dominated the meta with high speed and versatile weaponry.
** [[ALoadOfBull Teros]] and [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Xull]] have always been on the bottom of tierlists due to their slow speed and over-reliance on their strength stat.

** When playing online in any mode (besides Experimental 1v1s and Platinum and Diamond ranked 1v1), it is to be expected that people will spam the signature moves or ground pounds for various moves. Some legends are even repeatedly used such as Queen Nai, Teros, Thatch, and Orion. It doesn't help that the battlepass will also have 3 missions that involve getting wins, [=KOs=], or damage with a specific weapon. Cue a large portion of the community to play as legends that do 2 of these at once.
*** The second battlepass's "Hit with 5 different signature attacks" only makes this even more common since it's practically a requirement to spam signatures.
** Various legends are also used in non-spammy ways because of a ridiculous chain of combos, especially Jaeyun or Mako with the new greatsword weapon that its unique combo with light attacks has become a TierInducedScrappy to a portion of the community.
** If there's a viewership rewards[[note]]Rewards gained by watching the official Brawlhalla twitch channel[[/note]] that give out a skin, it's pretty common to see it being used online.

* TierInducedScrappy: [[{{Ninja}} Hattori]] has been on the receiving end of this for a while. She has two of the best weapons in the game, great signatures with large coverage, and has one of the highest speed stats in the game. She's also beginner friendly, and has a lot of options for high level play.

** [[{{Minotaur}} Teros]] and [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Xull]] have always been on the bottom of tierlists due to their slow speed and over-reliance on their strength stat.

* MostAnnoyingSound[=/=]SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: The KO sound effect, the former if you're on the receiving end, and the latter if you're delivering it.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Summer 2019 saw the surprise addition of Creator/CartoonNetwork icons [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum]] to the game's roster.

* TierInducedScrappy: [[{{Ninja}} Hattori]] has been on the receiving end of this for a while.

* MemeticMutation: Having been going for two years, there are bound to be at least a few memes.

** Wu Shang's gauntlets down signature's startup has hitboxes, deals a large amount of damage and knockback, and hits on both sides of the legend.

** In a similar vein Ulgrim's lance down signature, Ragnir's axe down signature, and Cross' blasters neutral signatures are attacking for the entire duration of the charge, unlike most other signatures, meaning a lot of players have and will run into them.

* ShipToShipCombat: This was bound to happen, since lore entries will contain interactions with other legends.

* ShipToShipCombat: This also happens a lot.

* ThemePairing: This happens a lot within the fandom.

** [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Xull]] uses both a [[BFG cannon]] and an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] with the ''highest strength stat in the game.''
