Brainwashed and Crazy: In Blaze's story mode, Latch puts a mind-control mixtape into Doombox, unwittingly at the behest of the Safety League, that turns him into a mindless specter of violence.And in Blaze, it will also tag it into your color, making it your own. While it doesn't really add any power to the ball, it will come in handy when it's going at near the speed of sound and you need to slow it down unless you want to get KO'd. Boring, but Practical: Bunting, which strikes the ball back into its neutral phase and temporarily slows it down a bit.In fact, someone was even killed during one game, causing the ban in the first place and sending it underground. With balls going at speeds of Mach 1, it's no wonder that the entire sport was banned. Blood Sport: The titular Lethal League itself.Beware the Silly Ones: Candyman may be a bit wacky, but he can be quite tricky and powerful as the other players.It gets especially hilarious if the player bunts the opponent, which will send them flying upwards into the air. Latch is a special case in that he can actually swallow a defeated opponent. Some characters can use their specials on them too, such as Raptor, Grid, and Latch. Beating A Dead Player: Players can strike opponents out of the arena after they have been knocked out.Battle in the Rain: The pool stage becomes this when the ball reaches ridiculous speeds.Battle Amongst the Flames: Paradise Field is set on fire if the ball's speed gets high enough or if it's the final battle in Arcade/Story Mode.Batter Up!: Raptor uses his baseball bat to hit the ball.Justified in that he then uses his exposed sharp claws to hang onto walls. Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Latch is modestly-dressed for a crocodile, bearing a hoodie, some sweatpants, and a beanie cap, but leaves his hands and feet bare.The sequel adds in Jet, Nitro, and Toxic for good measure.Badass Normal: Raptor, Sonata, and Dice.

Back Stab: A swing only hits in front of you, so sending the ball past the opponent and bouncing into his back is an effective way to score.Art Evolution: The models, animations and backgrounds in Blaze are considerably improved over the first game, with the characters moving more fluidly and the backgrounds being fully realized 3D assets with moving props as opposed to just being semi-static sprites.All There in the Manual: The bios for each character can be found on the game's website.
