Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Jacob Lash is an asshole.
- This was the tagline for Deadlock in Steam Replay 2024.
- Lash’s parry animation was changed after streamer JoeyCheerio shared feedback during a livestream that was being watched by Valve Senior Animator Jamaal Bradley. He suggested the move should feel more like a heavy, belly-first chest smash, similar to King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The updated animation was introduced in a later patch, with Bradley stating "we appreciate our players".[2]
- Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese localization as "Chico T.", a pun on the word "chicote" ("whip").
- Lash's voice line that he "used to do an uppercut" seems to be a reference to a datamined unused ability of his, named "Shoryuken" in reference to Street Fighter.
- "Thinking About Lash in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lash in the Hideout.
- Lash's killstreak voice line "Winning's my business and business is good" is a possible reference to the Megadeth song Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!.
- Lash's Ground Strike upgrade voice line "They're about to learn that their arms are too short to box with god" is a possible reference to a quote by pro wrestler CM Punk to The Rock in WWE. The phrase was popularized by the 1976 Broadway musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God.
