I thought he'd be added to ranked when the new season started but I was wrong, he's still insane 😅

I think a lot of people don't know this yet so it might be a good oportunity to abuse him in ranked.

I fear my obsession with getting all the hypercharge icons for my favorite brawlers is gonna lead me to be broke

Good: Bolt is now officially out for everyone to play in both ladder and ranked.

Bad: You cannot swap to unlock him for some reason, so either have brawler keys ready or be ready to burn through credits.

That is all.

Oh and his hypercharge is also out now.

They've completely gutted the starpower entirely.

That alone means Bolt is no longer invincible against cc.

That alone plus everything else means bolt competitive viablity is going to tank soooo bad.

Yes, we still have the op hypercharge but unless that charges in 2 supers, we are soo screwed.

But on the otherhand that means bolt is no longer completely braindead broken to play and the new hyper might (hopefully) encourage more people to play our glourious king.

So dispite the fact that we might never see our goat in the s tier again, I still welcome this new era for us battling racers.

Also, I made sure to update the guide I'm working on to include the nerfs and hypercharge, so don't worry.

Alright, that's all from me, see you on the racetrack of battle bumpers!

I think the name Bolt has more meaning than what we think. I think B.O.L.T means:

B=?
O=one
L=last
T=Tree

I think the tree ornament on bolt has a deeper meaning. Perhaps bolt is somehow connected to a tree in some way.

The B could stand for something like beloved (maybe bolt is originally made from a sacred rare tree but was evolved into a super high technology robot made for destruction by speed.)

Or maybe the B stands for bound (maybe bolt has a secret connection to a certain tree which is why he has to wear the ornament.)

Or it could mean something like blooming (maybe bolt is the last hope for trees in Starr Park or maybe for a special type of tree that can potentially also has lore into it.

It could also be stuff like beacon, beyond, or even something more dark like broken. I tried thinking of any word with B that could have lore. What do you think?

There might be some stuff changed before the update, but this is the projected changes as of now

It was a matter of time until he got these nerfs, but hey also a buff so I’m happy about that. With him getting a broken hypercharge as well I doubt he’ll go down a lot in the meta. So keep enjoying bolt to the fullest while you can!

Edit done by me in Capcut (high-ish effort)

BREAKING WALLS WHILE IN SUPER FARM. FREE KILLS

[removed]

I have bolt on 2650 done in 5 days, 40 minutes a day.

Some of these brawlers are ranked high because they help bolt if they are in your team, some others counter him instead.

Lowest rankings= easy brawlers to counter and bad in team, optimal team is bolt+gus+poco/Colette imo.

What do you guys think?

For the time being, im going to be taking a break from pushing him to prestiege 3, this is for a few reasons.

1. It feels completely unfair to play him considering how broken he is right now and telling people that I actually like him is going to make them think im no skill, (this is also why I never said I loved moe when he 1st released).

2. Im on vacation right now meaning my time is not only a lot more limited because of the fact im out of the house a lot, but also the internet buffers a lot which causes major issues playing him sense that straight up stops his speed.

And 3, im just not having fun because, it's so easy to get hardstuck and im getting so sick and tired people with genuinely braindead brawlers, (like daminian, crow, emz, bibi, Collette, Edgar, etc). The ladder meta is genuinely the worst it's ever bin and I would legitimately be doing a disservice to bolt if I kept forcing myself to try to go for a goal when im not having fun doing it, and bolt is kinda the main reason I'm still play this game so if im not having fun with him. What's the point?

However: This doesn't mean im done playing bolt, I have a robots only/robot skins mini account that actually has bolt and ill play him there, also theirs modes that actually don't give you trophies and so I'll play him there as well. Finally, once bolt gets added to ranked in the next season, I will be playing him there as well.

(As for when ill start playing him again, im gonna at least edit until the next update so that he'll hopefully get some nerfs (although considering how the last few modern brawlers got slaps on the wrists at best, i don't think that's too lightly).

On the plus side, I can finally work hard on the bolt guide now.

That's all for boltdates. See you around.
