In the weeks leading up to Jaw Breakers, we conducted interviews with the Nobody and Somebody, Lethal League’s foremost tag team. While we didn’t have a chance to upload it before the tournament, our discussion was too good to remain unseen. Never before have we encountered such an enigmatic and dynamic duo. Reader discretion is advised,





Where are you two from?



Nobody: “Spring Hill, Florida.”

Somebody: ”I’m from Chicago, Illinois. My Mother and Father are from Panama and Costa Rica respectively.”

What got you two together?



Somebody: “I was looking for someone to face, and Nobody decided to take me up on a match or four. Because you can never just do one. The most vivid memory I have of those matches was me downbunting him, and he just goes into Steam Group chat, and he’s just like “You did not just downbunt me. That’s it.” And after that, he destroyed me in every match we played. Afterwards, I added him as a friend and we played on and off for a while, until we heard about Combo Breaker. When the news of that got out, there was this really massive surge in popularity in 2v2 team matches. The two of us teamed up with Double Candymans, and just worked on getting Co-Op Candychains down until the strategy to beat us was to take one of us out as quickly as possible(Usually me.). Back then, my name was just Jelrin, but because of Combo Breaker, and me teaming up with Nobody, I had to play the part and change my name to Somebody. The name change has stuck since then, and I can’t bring myself to ever change it back to what I use to have it, not even for a short period of time.

Who are your favorite characters?

Nobody: “I guess Sonata will have to be my favorite due to her mobility and decent charge time. I play everyone similarly, so having the mobility improvement is a plus. For a while, however, I did main Candy after the Dice update ever since SmellyHobo showed off the candy chain. I picked it up myself, wrote a tutorial on easy ways to do it, and the Candy Craze spread like wildfire.”

Somebody: “I have to say that Candyman comes out on top… Candyman became my solid pick after I learned to Candychain from Nobody. Once that realm was opened up to me, I completely fell in love with him.”

What does it take to be good at Lethal League?

Nobody: “Memory. Take time to memorize each character’s angles, the safe zones of some characters, parry range, charge times, MEMORY. Once you have that down, it’s all reflexes and defense. If you just go in willy-nilly, you’re going to get parried.”



How would you describe your Lethal League strategy?

Nobody: “Figuring out how my opponent plays as fast as possible. I also tend to back-bunt into smash a lot (TIP FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STOP ME). But really, I smash for any angles I’m not comfortable guarding regularly.”

Somebody: “ Strategy? What’s a strategy? My only strat really is just to just have fun and experiment. My playstyle is ever evolving as I rack up the hours (475 as of writing this.) I’m usually always trying to push the limits of how well I can control my candyball chains.”

Tips for new players?

Somebody: “Don’t get discouraged when you’re getting rekt. Take it all in stride and pay attention when you’re fighting people who edge you out in skill, or completely dominate you. What are they doing? What are you doing wrong? What do you think you can do to stop them? It’ll also help to get really cozy with everyone’ angles, and after that, see how they all change on each stage. It’s going to take a long time, and it’s gonna get frustrating, but beyond that frustration is one hell of a game, and endless enjoyment. Don’t stop, don’t give up, and just give it everything you got. We’re all here to have fun and soak in the experience.”
