Ubisoft’s Super Smash Bros-like brawler Brawlhalla welcomes a new addition to its roster today on 23 September 2019. The transforming mecha is the 47th Legend to join the game, and his name is Vector.

Vector comes with suitably timey-wimey convoluted backstory too. Here’s the official description of the new fighter:

Travelling across the galaxy from a future universe, cybermarine Arcturius Vector entered a time portal to go from 3006 to 1987, pursuing his nemesis the Mechassassin Blackstorm, far into the distant past of New Earth.

Vector’s mission, to stop the Mechassassin from eliminating an ancient leader named ‘Sen-tin-el’, didn’t go quite according to plan.

Upon arrival, Vector found Sentinel, a Superhero, locked in deadly combat with the evil enemy KABAL.

Joining forces with Sentinel, Vector led the counterattack against KABAL’s alien invasion force and fought the Mechassassin Blackstorm and a squadron of super-intelligent super-jets.

Today in Valhalla, Vector fights, builds jet engines with Scarlet, and pursues other hobbies.

Vector is available to purchase for 7200 Gold. He comes with three different skins; Hyperdrift Vector, Vector Model 01, and Dragonaut Vector, each of which costs 140 Mammoth coins.

In addition, the Autumn Shard 2019 animated avatar and the Autumn Wind Katars weapon skin will be available for purchase for a limited time from 24 September to 9 October 2019 (to commemorate the Autumn Championship from 28 to 29 September 2019).

Brawlhalla is out now for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Check out Vector (in action!) in the trailer below.
