General
- All fighters are now available for play in local play game modes

- In Platinum, Diamond, and Master tiers RP loss is capped at -19.
- If you haven’t played a character recently, your win/loss streak will be reset for the purpose of matchmaking. This applies to both Ranked and Unranked modes.
