Grandmaster rewards: 

Combat Changes 

We’re making a myriad of general combat changes in an attempt to reward more offensive gameplay. These changes affect all fighters universally, but any additional character-specific changes will be listed in the character patch notes. 

Dodge Cancels 

  • Dodge Attacks now cost only 2 units of dodge meter, down from 3 units 
  • Dodge Attacks and Dodge Jumps now play a special visual effect to help with clarity for all players 
  • Receiving a hit after a Dodge Cancel where the initial Dodge avoided an attack will now remove the “DODGED” text pop-up 
  • Dodge Jump cancel window while dodge meter is empty (fatigued) delayed 18 frames; now matches fatigued Dodge Attack cancel window 

Dodge Lands 

  • Fixed an issue where fighters could sometimes dodge into the ground without Dodge Landing 
  • Dodge Land cancel window advanced 7 frames, fatigued cancel window delayed 5 frames 
  • Fighters now retain more momentum on a dodge land 
  • Fighters now have more movement control on the ground during a dodge land 
  • Forward Dodge Lands can now carry fighter momentum off the ledge of the main platform 

Dodge Fatigue (Empty Dodge Meter) 

  • Base dodge fatigue time increased to 10 seconds from 8 seconds 

Wall Cling & Wall Fatigue 

  • Fighters will reach maximum wall fatigue after spending 5 seconds on a wall, down from 8.5 seconds. 
  • Fighters will begin to slide faster on a wall after 2 consecutive wall clings, down from 4. 
  • Fighters will reach maximum wall fatigue after 8 consecutive wall clings, down from 12. 
  • Fighters will no longer refresh their air dodges or air specials if they wall cling at maximum wall fatigue 
  • Fighters losing dodge meter from maximum wall fatigue can no longer gain any dodge meter until the fighters land on solid ground.  

*NEW* Priority Hitboxes 

Certain attacks can now be classified as “low priority” hitboxes. Low priority attacks cannot trade with normal attacks. If a low priority attack connects with an enemy on the same frame the attacker is hit with a normal attack, the low priority attack will be ignored. Character-specific low priority attacks will be listed in the character patch notes. 

  • All ground side attack combo hits (besides the finisher attack) are now considered low priority attacks. 

Terrain Bounces 

  • No longer affected by attack decay 
  • Knockback reduced 

*NEW* Automatic Ground Teching 

When a fighter is the victim of a combo that includes a terrain bounce, if they are floor bounced again in the same combo they will instead perform an automatic tech. An automatic tech breaks the combo by stopping the fighter on the ground and returning them to an idle pose with invincibility frames. If the fighter holds left/right during the tech, they will move a short distance in that direction while retaining fewer invincibility frames. The automatic tech will not occur if the floor bounce happens too soon after the first terrain bounce. 

This will allow us to add more power into ground bounce combos without fear of accidentally introducing infinite loops in the future. 

General Bugfixes 

  • Fixed an issue where end-of-game and mission damage dealt stats were inaccurate. 
  • Fixed an issue where certain attacks would trade incorrectly. 
  • Fixed an issue where fighters could perform certain actions while rung out

Finn 

Finn is living up to his ideal as a speedy, combo-heavy assassin a little too well right now with his ability to carry opponents across the stage resulting in very low damage ring outs. We want to promote a little more offense from Finn by reducing his ability to charge his attacks for extended periods of time, while also making his combo game a little easier to deal with.

  • Rage Mode Ground Down Attack 
    • – Repeat-move lockout increased to 24 frames from 17 frames 

Jake 

Jake has been underperforming for a while due to the over-centralizing strength of his Bite neutral special. We are looking to evaluate some quality-of-life buffs for a future patch to make his strategy less Bite-dependent. 

  • General 
    • * Fixed an issue where Jake’s neutral dodges were not playing their ending animations 
  • Air Down Attack 
    • ~ A floor bounce incurred from the first hit of this attack will not count towards the automatic tech bounce threshold

LeBron 

Congratulations to LeBron James on winning Gold! In celebration we’ve given LeBron some buffs, but only because he won. Our new Auto-Tech system allows us to prevent an infinite loop that was occuring due to being able to repeatedly ground-bounce opponents so we’re reverting the change to Air Down Special from the last hotfix patch.

  • Air/Ground Side Special

  • Air/Ground Down Special 
    • * Fixed an issue where Reindog fireball had no hurtbox – this will fix issues with reflection and projectile clank interactions 

Rick 

Rick has become very frustrating for opponents due to the large size of his jab and how often players use the move in neutral. We want to reduce the strength of his jab while also giving him better combo tools across his kit to increase diversity in his moveset.

Samurai Jack 

Samurai Jack was released as an incredibly popular new fighter, and players immediately found success with his strong side special and quick Focus Meter gain. We’re hoping to tone down his side special as a “do everything” attack and also reduce the number of times players can use his super strong Focus Meter attacks in a single game. This should bring him more in line with the rest of the cast.

    • * Fixed an issue where Jack was rotated perpendicular to terrain when terrain bouncing 
    • * Fixed issue where Jack’s dance animation wouldn’t play when affected by Gizmo’s “Rhythm’s Gonna Getcha” perk

  • Ground Side Attack 1 
    • – Hitbox size reduced; visuals updated to match 
  • Air/Ground Up Special 
    • * Fixed an issue where The Joker could sometimes not ride his balloon immediately on spawn 

Velma 

Velma can be oppressive as a projectile zoner, but still lacks the tools to complete her combos when she gets into melee range. We are limiting the strength of her projectile tools while increasing the strength of her close-range attacks to give her a better punish-game when she finds her moment to strike. We have also given her a new attack in the form of an on-cooldown down special that she can use to start combos at close range.
