Full Patch Notes

General

Music	Addition	Added two new music tracks, both from Cosmic Hat Games' Rolling Rampage: Block Desert and Area 51³ - Block Desert now has a chance to play automatically on Desert Train - Area 51³ now has a chance to play automatically on Cube City in Peril
Volume Settings	Fix	Improved the calculations for volume settings to make the percentages more accurate - WARNING: IF YOU HAVE ADJUSTED THE IN-GAME VOLUME SETTINGS AT ALL, THE GAME MAY BE MUCH LOUDER THAN IN THE PREVIOUS VERSION
Controls	Addition	Added an option in the Control settings to swap the WASD and Arrow Keys inputs for Player 1 and Player 2 - With this, anyone who wants to use arrow keys as Player 1 is now able to do so. It's a hacky solution, but with the limitations of the input system, it's the only one really available.
Movement	Adjustment	Improved the internal calculations for movement. The feel of ground movement is unchanged, however air movement now has some added smoothing when changing direction
Super Meter	Adjustment	Heavily simplified the calculations for Super Meter gain when attacking or being attacked. There have also been some notable changes to meter gain: - The amount of meter gained from landing an attack has been increased very slightly - The amount of meter gained from landing an attack is now reduced when the attack is blocked - The amount of meter gained from blocking or being hit by an opponent's attack has been reduced
Burst Gauge	Adjustment	- The amount of Burst gained from taking damage now scales in a combo depending on the number of attacks used, rather than the number of hits - Attacks that hit multiple times will no longer give the opponent additional Burst for every hit - To compensate for the above changes, the base amount of Burst gained from being hit has been slightly increased
Break Burst	Fix	- Break Burst now lifts your character up slightly higher, to prevent the character sometimes landing on the ground before the free-fall recovery on whiff can occur - Fixed an issue where Bursts didn't halt your vertical velocity on startup
Light Attacks	Adjustment	All Light attacks have had their blockstun slightly reduced.
Blocking/Blockstrings	Adjustments and Fixes	- Increased the amount of pushback received when hitting a blocking opponent in the corner with normals - Pushback in the corner will now also begin to drastically increase after the opponent blocks 6 attacks in succession - Normals that have any forward movement will now have their velocity gradually reduced as a blockstring goes on, albeit very subtly - Fixed an issues where you could sometimes be hit during blockstun if you let go of the block input - Fixed an issue where crossup protection could be broken if at least 2 moves were landed in the same blockstring before the crossup occurred - Fixed an issue where using a reverse beat in a blockstring would have different effects depending on whether the opponent was using Back-to-Block or Block Button
Grabs/Throws	Minor Adjustment and Fixes	- Universal throws (6H) can no longer activate if the opponent is in a knockdown state. - Fixed an issue where breaking certain characters' universal throws could sometimes result in the throw break animation not playing properly - Fixed an issue where it was possible to grab an opponent during their pre-jump animation (most noticeable against Guy) - Fixed an issue where having a lot of forward velocity and being hit by a grab could sometimes cause you to keep sliding past the player who grabbed you - Implemented a potential fix for an issue where being hit with an attack just as you grabbed the opponent caused both players to be put into hitstun but return to idle almost immediately
Clashing/Disjointed Attacks	Fixes	- Disjointed attacks now clash with each other instead of phasing through each other - Fixed an issue where disjointed attacks would clash with non-disjointed attacks - Fixed an issue where two moves clashing would always result in both players hitting each other
Damage-Over-Time Effects	Adjustment	- Reduced the damage of damage-over-time effects, such as poison (250/second → 200/second)
Visual Effects	Adjustment	Updated the on-hit effects for fire0based attacks
Reversals	Fixes	- Fixed an oversight where it was possible to break an opponent's guard with Reversals, allowing them to start combos due to the increase in hitstun - Fixed an issue where a Reversal could K.O. the opponent if it dealt exactly enough damage to bring them to 0 HP - Fixed an issue where getup Reversals would not put the user into free-fall on whiff if the last thing the user landed was a standing Reversal
Loop Escape	Fix	Fixed an issue where triggering a loop escape would not reset Wall Bounce and Floor Bounce uses properly
Projectiles	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where projectiles with a vacuum effect on hit would still cause this effect if they hit an armoured opponent
Unblockable Attacks	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an airborne opponent with an unblockable move that also causes a crumple on hit would result in the opponent immediately exiting hitstun
Dashing	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where dashing into a normal would allow you to cancel that attack into a dash-only command normal - Cancellling dashing commmand normals into other dashing command normals was intentionally left in, however

Menus

Credits	Adjustment	The credits sequence is now skippable
Victory Screen	Addition and Fix	- You can now deselect the option you choose on the victory screen using the back button (B on an Xbox controller by default), as long as the other player hasn't chosen yet - Fixed an issue where the Confirm button could continue to be pressed after selecting an option on the victory screen, causing the sound effect to play repeatedly
Character Select Screen	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where changing between back-to-block and button block using the character select screen's controls menu would not correctly update the setting in-game

Stages

New Stage Variant	Addition	Added a new Grey Screen variant for the Green Screen Stage - An additional option for the green screen stage that was requested by the community!
Master Locks Dojo	Fix and Adjustment	- Fixed certain models in the stage being on the wrong rendering layer, causing them to appear in cinematics that normally hide stage elementsa - Updated the particle effects on the stage's variant
Dasteel Workshop	Fix	Fixed certain models in the Dasteel Laboratory variant being on the wrong rendering layer
Diamondeye Casino	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the camera could scroll too far to the right on Diamondeye Casino after a KO, causing lots of clipping
The Flying Swordsman	Fix	Fixed an issue where the left side of the stage had no wall after a KO occurred
Necromancer's Keep	Fix	Fixed an issue where it was possible to trigger the Star KO animation on the stage
Magma Core	Adjustment	Updated the hit effects for the stage hazards
Meteor Shower Town	Adjustment and Bug Fix	- Updated the effects for the meteors in the background, as well as the stage hazards - Fixed an issue where the meteors would instantly vanish if blocked instead of exploding

Solo Modes

Mission Mode	Addition and Bug Fix	- Added 3 new Missions: - Hair Styling - Ultra Crash Siblings - Fabulous Flex Off - Fixed an issue where the meteors would instantly vanish if blocked instead of exploding
Training Mode	Fixes	- Fixed an oversight where resetting in Training Mode wouldn't remove certain lingering hit effects, such as those from fire and electricity attacks - Fixed an issue where the Hard Knockdown cooldown timer would persist between resets - Fixed an issue where the Reverse Beat cooldown timer (when used against a blocking opponent) would persist between resets
Combo Trials	Addition, Adjustments, and Fixes	- Added a new trial for Clyde, which is now Trial 06 - Updated Rattlebone's Trial 07 to work better with the changes made to his Jumping Heavy, and to make it a bit more interesting - Removed an unnecessary dash requirement in Red's Trial 10 - Fixed an issue where Baron's Trial 05 displayed incorrect notation for the Orbital Grapple move - Updated Shiverskull's Trial 09 to make the cancel into More Swords at the end slightly less tight - Updated Ember's Trail 08 to work better with the changes made to her Throw - Fixed an issue where certain moves, when used as the final in a trial, would count towards the trial's completely despite appearing to whiff

Clyde Brightstar
Major Overhaul
Clyde was the first character ever developed for the game, and that age was starting to show in both his visuals and the overall feel of his moveset. So, we decided to give him a big overhaul! Many of his animations and visual effects have been redone from scratch, certain moves have been touched up in their functionality, and he's even got a brand-new move to play with!

Visual Effects	Update	All of Clyde's fire-based attacks have had their visual effects updated. Any changes to animation will be noted separately
Crouching Light	Buff	Reduced startup time (11F-9F)
Crouching Heavy	New Move and Fix	Updated the move's animation, though it is functionally identical outside of the following fix: - Fixed an oversight where the move's jump cancel window didn't start until a few frames after the hitbox bceame active
Jumping Light	Adjustment	Slightly increased vertical knockback to improve consistency in combos
Jumping Medium	Adjustment	Slightly reduced vertical knockback to improve consistency in combos
Jumping Heavy	Slight Nerf	The slight bounce from the move now occurs slightly sooner into the animation, to prevent being able to cancel the move before the bounce
Throw (6H)	Update	Updated the move's animation, though it is functionally identical
Rushing Straight (6M while dashing)	Buff	The move can now be cancelled after hitting a blocking opponent
Blazing Combo (4S, formerly known as Blazing Dash)	Overhaul	The move has been completely overhauled, with Clyde now moving forward in three steps instead of a long, continuous movement. While it still retains a similar purpose as before, landing all three hits is now much more consistent, and it feels overall better to use
Blazing Force (4[S])	New Move	- An alternate version of Blazing Combo, performed by holding the Special button - A single, powerful punch that takes longer to startup, but lets you act sooner than opponent if they block it! Use it to rush in and immediately start putting on the pressure! - Unlike Blazing Combo, this move cannot be used in the air
Inferno Upper (2S)	Buffs and Fix	- Altered the hitboxes so they no longer gradually change in size - Removed the property that made the first two hits of the attack unable to hit airborne opponents - Removed the property that made the last two hits of the attack unable to hit grounded opponents - Fixed an issue where the hitbox visualizer in Training Mode made the move's hitboxes look larger than they actually were - All these changes have also been applied to Ember's copied version of the move
Meteor Slam (j.S)	Fix	Fixed a VERY silly oversight where the move would hit low if it landed during the final few frames the hitbox was active
Eruption Fist (5SP)	Adjustment and Nerfs	- Updated the move's animations - Reduced total damage (7000-6000) - The move now forces the opponent out of hitstun after a certain amount of time, preventing it from comboing into itself - If the move is used too close to the corner, Clyde will now be moved slightly out of the corner (though not far enough to ever cause the move to whiff because of it)
Brightstar Barrage (2SP)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the opponent could sometimes end up behind Clyde after the initial hit of the Super, causing the rest of the hits to whiff
Miscellaneous	Adjustment and Bug Fixes	- Updated Clyde's intro animation - Fixed an issue where Clyde's animation for turning around after a run could override the Burst animation if they happened at the same time - Fixed an issue where using a jumping heavy, Blazing Combo, or Meteor Slam during a long jump could cause the move's inherent velocity to be overridden by the long jump

Annie Dasteel
Moderate Tweaks
Annie didn't have much wrong with her, and in fact is still one of the characters we're proudest of to this day! She's nonetheless received a few changes to help her better integrate her Portable Supercharged Tesla into her zoning, as well as a few other miscellaneous tweaks.

Crouching Heavy	Buff	Increased the hitbox size to make the move connect more reliably in the corner
Throw (6H)	Bug Fixes	- Fixed an issue where the throw break window for Annie's throw was much shorter than other characters - Fixed an issue where breaking Annie's throw would cause the opponent to teleport in front of Annie, sometimes leaving them in a soft knockdown state
Portable Supercharged Tesla (2S)	Buffs	- The disc's velocity has been increased, making it reach its destination in roughly half the time compared to before - Reduced the startup of the trap activation (13F-6F) - Reduced recovery time of the trap activation by roughly 9 frames
Volatile Condensed Energy (j.4S)	Nerf	The orb will now disappear if Annie is hit by an attack

Sir Rattlebone
Moderate Tweaks
While Rattlebone is very much supposed to be effective at almost everything, some of his moves were a bit overtuned, making him stronger than intended in some areas. His changes are few, but they should help reign him in significantly.

Standing Heavy	Nerf	Changed from an overhead to a mid - However, the move now becomes an overhead again during Chivalrous Spirit
Shield Bash (4S)	Buff	The move can now be cancelled into its follow-ups slightly earlier
Kingbone Slicer (7/8/9 during Shield Bash)	Nerf	The move now advances damage scaling separately from the intial Shield Bash hit
Tibia Chopper (S during Shield Bash)	Nerf and Buff	- The move now advances damage scaling separately from the intial Shield Bash hit - Increased the move's forward velocity to help it combo more consistently from the initial Shield Bash hit

Shoto Kanji
Moderate Tweaks
Shoto's offense is pretty oppressive by design, but this could make him quite frustrating to fight at times. We've toned down some of his more obnoxious elements, such as his projectile game and his block pressure, while keeping his big damage and combo game largely untouched.

Standing Heavy	Nerf	- Increased startup time (10F-11F) - Increased recovery time (12F-16F)
Electric Blast ([S])	Nerf	- Increased recovery of the aerial version (total animation length: 35F-40F) - Shoto can no longer have multiple Electric Blast projectiles on-screen at a time - However, Shoto can now have both an Electric Blast and an Electric Ball on-screen simultaneously
Storm Kicks (4S)	Nerf	If the move whiffs or is blocked, Shoto will now play a lengthy landing recovery animation upon hitting the ground. This animation will NOT occur on hit - This change has also been applied to Ember's copied version of the move
Thunder Eclipse (5SP)	Nerf	When the projectile is blocked, it now disappears afteer only 6 hits, instead of 12
Miscellaneous	Adjustment and Bug Fix	- Improved visual effects for the fire-based attacks on the Shoto Goto costume - Fixed an issue where using Storm Kicks during a long jump could cause the move's inherent velocity to be overridden by the long jump

Derrick Stone
Minor Tweaks
Derrick was largely fine, so we didn't touch him much. He has received some small nerfs, but they're mainly in the interest of correcting some oversights, and don't greatly affect his gameplay. He does get a cool new costume, though!

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Pilot Derrick - (To unlock: Beat the new Mission "Ultra Crash Siblings")
Standing Heavy	Nerf	Slightly reduced travel distance
Dust Ball (5[S])	Nerf	The dust ball will now disappear if Derrick is hit by an attack
Junk Toss (2S)	Adjustment	If the turtle shell item is blocked, it will now bounce off the opponent like normal instead of passing through them
Miscellaneous	Fixes	- Fixed an oversight where Derrick's Break Burst invincibility lasted longer than other characters - Fixed an issue where using The Derrick "Special" during a long jump could cause the move's inherent velocity to be overridden by the long jump

Cole "Red" Maxwell
Moderate Tweaks
Red's gotten a few nice buffs, including two new ways to secure a Hard Knockdown, which helps really drive in his bullying playstyle!

Standing Heavy	Buff	Slightly reduced horizontal knockback
Bruiser Beatdown (5S)	Buff	The Rage-enhanced followup now grants a Hard Knockdown
Break Barrage (5SP)	Buff	Now grants a Hard Knockdown
Beam Overdrive (2SP)	Adjustments	- Now causes a floor bounce even if the standard floor bounce has alread been used, ensuring that it's always possible to combo off it - If the move is used too close to the corner, Red will now be moved slightly out of the corner

Baron Brightstar
Minor Tweaks
While he wasn't desperately in need of changes, Baron's regular Brightstar Bomber has gotten the same treatment as its Grand counterpart for combos, since it was previously possible to use it many times in a combo with little drawback if timed correctly.

Brightstar Bomber (5S)	Nerf	Note, these changes only apply to the ground version of the move. The air version is untouched - The move changes to a "weak" version if used multiple times in the same combo. The weak version has reduced damage and travel distance, and will force the opponent's hitstun to end quicker than usual - The move no longer forces the opponent's hitstun to end quicker than usual, allowing for easier follow-ups - All these changes have also been applied to Ember's copied version of the move
Miscellaenous	Adjustment and Fixes	- Universal throws can now be activated against Baron from slightly further away to compensate for his wider collision box - Fixed an oversight where Baron's Break Burst animation was shorter than other characters - Fixed an oversight where Baron's Blast Burst invincibility lasted for less time than other characters

Sylvan Blackjack
Moderate Overhaul
Sylvan's got a wealth of new options to play with, thanks to a complete overhaul of his Slot Machine special! The changes make working your way up to Full House Mode much more engaging and interesting, as there are even more possible routes to achieve your goals, and lots of new considerations to make in regards to the order you collect Aces!

Standing Heavy	Buff	- Updated the animation - Drastically reduced recovery time (58F-26F) - Good god, what were we THINKING??
Throw (6H)	Nerf	Increased recovery time after a successful throw (26F-31F)
Draw Card (4X)	Buff	- Reduced the length of the animation that plays when drawing an Ace (46F-26F) - This animation has also been updated to more clearly show which ace was drawn - Slightly reduced the length of the animation that plays when drawing a non-Ace card (33F-31F)
Ace Energy (4X with Ace)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Heart Energy projectile would continue to move during cinematics
Security!! (5S)	Addition	Added an additional HUD icon that appears next to Sylvan's card slots that shows when Withers is on cooldown
Slot Machine (2S)	Buffs	- Reduced Recovery time (32F-19F) - Sylvan's Ace Energy projectiles can now trigger the slot machine, and cause a unique interaction. Each different suit will guarantee one of two specific outcomes - Spade guarantees either Damage Up or Poison - Heart Guarantees either Healing Items or Poison - Club guarantees either Meter Gain Up or Explosion - Diamond guarantees either Cheat or Explosion
Cashing Out (2[S])	New Move	- An alternate version of Slot Machine, performed by holding the Special button - Sylvan summons a slot machine that begins rolling automatically, and always results in an Explosion. The explosion is smaller than weaker than the normal one, but cannot hurt Sylvan, making it more of a proper attacking move! Use it to enhance your zoning and extend combos in new ways! - Like your regular Slot Machine, you can hold forward or backward to change the spawning position - If Sylcan is hit while the Cashing Out slot machine is rolling, it will stop rolling and become a regular Slot Machine that can be hit by either player - This move cannot be used in Full House Mode
Full House Mode	Fix	Fixed an issue where Sylvan's Full House timer would drain during his own Super cinematics
Miscellaneous	Adjustment	Updated some of Sylvan's move names - Super Slot Machine is now called "Break the Bank"

Captain Shiverskull
Moderate Tweaks
A few miscellaneous changes, but the big one is that Shiverskull's crew can now be hit by the opponent's attacks, making his crewmate pressure a bit less safe overall. On the bright side, though, he's looking sharp with his new costume!

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Mafia Shiverskull
Crouching Heavy	Buff	The attack's hitbox is now disjointed, meaning it no longer counts as a part of Shiverskull's hurtbox
Davey Bones' Locker (4H)	Buff	The move can now be cancelled after hitting a blocking opponent
Give No Quarter! (2S)	Nerf and Fixes	- The summoned crew members can now be hit by an opponent's attacks, which will interrupt their own attacks and cause them to jump away - They are still immune to projectiles and throws, however - If the move is used too close to the corner, the crew members will now spawn slightly further back than usual, to prevent them spawning beyond the walls of the stage - Fixed an issue where the crew members' hitboxes would permanently vanish if they hit an opponent using an armoured move
Miscellaneous	Addition and Fixes	- Added new intro and victory dialogue between Lumina and Shiverskull - Fixed an issue where using Ship Sinker during a long jump could cause the move's inherent velocity to be overridden by the long jump - Fixed an oversight where the Classic costume prevented you from using Shiverskull's character-specific Training Mode setting

Lumina Blackjack
Bug Fixes
Just some good 'ol bug fixes for her! While Lumina does seem to be a very strong character, there's nothing in particular that we feel confident in changing about her right now. A puppet character in a game as free-form as Duels of Fortune is bound to be powerful, after all!

Chip	Fix	Fixed an oversight which caused Chip to be able to delete Super projectiles
Timber (8S)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the move could trigger a Loop Escape on the grab hit instead of the throw hit, leading to a guaranteed unblockable setup
Miscellaneous	Addition and Fixes	- Added new intro and victory dialogue between Lumina and Shiverskull - Fixed an oversight where Lumina's Break Burst invincibility lasted longer than other characters - Fixed an oversight where Lumina's Blast Burst hitbox was active for less time than other characters

Black Heart
Moderate Tweaks
Black Heart was definitely a very overtuned character, having no serious weaknesses while being capable of some of the most terrifying mix-ups and knockdown pressure in the game. With these changes, we've attempted to better accentuate his intended weaknesses while keeping his strengths intact.

Visual Effects	Update	All of Black Heart's fire-based attacks have had their visual effects updated
Dashes/Long Jumps	Nerf	- Increased Black Heart's hurtbox size while dashing on the ground. The height is now on par with that of Clyde's forward dash - Slightly increased Black Heart's hurtbox size during long jumps
Head Over Heels (j.2H)	Nerf	The slight bounce from the move now occurs slightly sooner, to prevent being able to land on the ground before the bounce
Gelatinous Shadow (5S)	Nerf and Fix	- The blob projectile will now disappear if Black Heart is hit while it is active - Fixed a visual issue where Black Heart's Gelatinous Shadow projectile would not spawn its disappearing particle effect when blocked	Violent Kicks (2S)"	Nerf	The move now changes to a "weak" version if used multiple times in the same combo. The weak version has reduced damage, reduced vertical knockback, and forces the opponent's hitstun to end quicker than usual
Heart Breaker (2SP)	Nerf	The projectiles from the heart will now only spawn higher up in the air, to prevent them from spawning on top of the opponent
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issdue where using Trick Punch during a long jump could cause the move's inherent velocity to be overridden by the long jump

Justin O. Guy
Bug Fixes
I mean... How do you improve something that's already so perfect?

Miscellaneous

Fixes

- The landing lag animation for each of Guy's states is now 1 frame shorter - This was mainly to fix an internal math issue where the Caffeinated state's landing lag animation was technically "7.5 frames" in code, despite that not being possible - Fixed an oversight where Guy's Blast Burst hitbox was active for longer than other characters

Callowman
Minor Tweaks
Just one change for Callowman, but it's something that was probably long overdue. Sorry, floating green buddy.

Callow Crash (5S)

Nerf

The aerial move now whiffs on crouching opponents, to prevent it from being essentially unblockable if performed close to the ground or against taller characters

Doodle
Minor Tweaks
Doodle is a weird character to balance, but for this update, we've just made a few small changes, including a buff to Ultimate Doodle to bring it in line with other major install Supers. Doodle also gets the third of the three costumes in this update!

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Vintage Doodle - (To unlock: Beat the Mission "Contrast") - Note: If you have already beaten this Mission, you will have to beat it again to trigger the unlock. We will work to find a way around this for any future unlocks that are added to existing Missions
Visual Effects	Update	All of Doodle's fire-based attacks have had their visual effects updated
Throw (6H)	Fixes	- Slightly increased the range from which Doodle can activate a universal throw - Fixed an oversight where Doodle's throw could grab airborne opponents
Hot Sauce (j.S)	Nerf and Update	- Changed the jar hit from an overhead to a mid - Updated the look of the fire puddle
Ultimate Doodle (2SP)	Buff	Now resets damage scaling by 50% when used (capping at 110% damage) - This puts it in line with other major install Supers like Rattlebone's Chivalrous Spirit and Baron's Red Supergiant
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where dashing into Doodle during the later stages of his idle animation would cause him to slide across the screen

ERROR CS1501
Minor Tweaks
Mostly bug fixes, as is to be expected from the living glitch itself, but we've also slightly tweaked the feel of ERROR's flight.

Delete Gravity (j.S)	Adjustment	ERROR's flight has been reworked to make the movement feel much less slippery. ERROR will now come to a stop much quicker after letting go of a direction.
void Consume(); (2SP)	Bug Fixes	- Fixed an issue where hitting the opponent just as they entered a void Consume();-enhanced portal would cause them to be able to move around during the super cinematic - Fixed an issue where the opponent call fall through a void Consume();-enhanced portal, just as the portal expired, causing them to never come back - Fixed an issue where holding Burst during the move's startup would prevent you from Blast Bursting during the move entirely - Fixed a visual issue where the particle effect for an enhanced portal could appear on a pre-placed portal that had already vanished
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where ERROR's "trip" animation caused them to skip part of their knockdown animation when landing

Mystery Johnson
Moderate Tweaks
Johnson gets a nice movement speed buff to help him maneuver and close the gap more easily! A certain sharkman has also gotten a bit faster (though not exactly willingly).

Movement	Buff	Slightly increased Johnson's movement speed, both on the ground and in the air
Bloody Moonfish!! (2SP)	Buff	The Shaz projectile now travels faster
Trigger System	Bug Fixes	- Fixed an issue where performing an Impact Run from certain moves would cause Johnson to walk forward instead, but at running speed - Fixed an issue where Bullets could still be spent after a round ended
Miscellaneous	Fix	Fixed an oversight where Johnson's landing lag animation was longer than other characters

Ember
Moderate Tweaks
Aside from the MOUNTAIN of bug fixes she's gotten, Ember's also received some nice buffs in a few areas to help her more consistently do what she wants to do!

Standing Heavy	Buff	Increased the size of the hitbox so the move connects more consistently from medium attacks
Throw (6H)	Buff	Greatly reduced the horizontal knockback from the push hit, allowing for it to start combos from midscreen
Spin Attack (5S)	Buff	Now grants a hard knockdown
Slime Trail Mix (4S)	Bug Fix	Implemented a potential fix for an issue where using the move too close to a dropped blob would sometimes cause the blob to not be absorbed
Blob Lob (2S)	Buff	- Reduced the startup time of the teleport attack (25F-17F) - Slightly increased the hitbox size of the teleport attack
Copy Abilities	Bug Fixes	- Fixed an issue where the Shoto copy ability retained a previous issue of Storm Kick's hitboxes being visualized incorrectly in Training Mode - Fixed an issue where the forward version of Sylvan's copy ability did not have a maximum range when facing left - Fixed an issue with the Sylvan copy ability where resetting in Training Mode just as Withers touched the ground would result in his legs being misplaced on subsequent spawns - Fixed a visual issue with the Doodle copy ability where Doodle's shoes were missing - Fixed an issue where rolling the Ember copy ability from Luck of the Draw would cause subsequent uses of Spin Attack to grant you the Ember copy ability as well, regardless of your opponent
Miscellaneous	Fixes	- Fixed an oversight where Ember's Blast Burst hitbox was active for less time than other characters - Fixed an oversight where Ember's landing lag animation was longer than other characters - Fixed an oversight which caused Tomato Ember to be unlocked by default - Fixed an issue where the Tomato Ember costume had incorrect colours for Ember's slime form - Implemented potential fixes for various issues related to rematching from the victory screen while either player was playing as Ember

Bosses

Tiny Evil Clyde	Bug Fix	Implemented a potential fix for an issue where TEC's Back Special would cancel itself before the move landed
The Mask	Addition	Added a proper K.O. animation to the boss
The Pill	Bug Fixes	- Fixed an issue where the Pill's install would persist between rounds - Fixed an issue where the Pill's ragdoll that appears when it is KO'd would not match the selected alt colour

Full Patch Notes

General

Air Dash	Bug Fix	- Fixed an issue where attempting to buffer an airdash before jump-cancelling an attack would result in the character automatically performing an aerial attack - Implemented a potential fix for an issue where buffering an airdash before jump-cancelling an attack would result in the airdash ending immediately after it started - Implemented a preventative measure to stop buffered dashes from starting during landing lag
Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the meter penalty from using a Reversal would persist between rounds and Training Mode resets

Stages

New Stage	!!!	- The stage Cube City in Peril from the Zorb boss fight is now available to play in any mode! It's been updated slightly for the occasion! - Also added a new music track for this stage, "Cube City", a track directly from the new Rolling Rampage game! This song was composed by LeviathanMusic!

・New stage

・Major balance changes

・Bug fixes

Full Patch Notes

Lumina Blackjack

New Character

!!!

Sylvan's niece and personal secretary, Lumina is Duels of Fortune's very own puppet fighter! That means you'll actually be controlling two characters at once: Lumina, and her gigantic living puppet, Chip (who may or may not also contain the soul of her deceased brother). Lumina and Chip will both move at the same time when you hold a direction, though Chip is a bit slower, and is unable to crouch or jump. And while Lumina makes use of the Light, Medium, and Heavy buttons as normal, the Special button is used exclusively by Chip. With correct positioning and tight execution, you can have Lumina and Chip attacking simultaneously for an extremely threatening dual offense! She's likely the most difficult character on the roster so far, requiring a high level of knowledge and skill to make the most of, but offers a strong, rewarding, and thoughtful playstyle for those willing to put in the effort.

General

New Music	!!!	Added a new music track: The Dance of Solitude (Lumina's Theme), by Jack7
Loop Prevention System	Addition	Implemented a new loop prevention system, meaning that repeating the same move, or sequence of moves, over and over will now cause the opponent to automatically tech out after the third repetition. For more technical information on how this system works, read here
Reversal	Change	Performing a Reversal now causes you to gain Super Meter 75% slower for the next 4 seconds (Some players found that Reversals did not have much effective cost, since it was very easy to regain the spent meter immediately afterward. This change aims to make Reversals more of a proper commitment in that regard.)
Battle Pop-Ups	Change	Removed the “Guard Break” text pop-up that appears when you successfully hit a blocking opponent, as it was causing unintended confusion for some new players. The “Unblockable” pop-up still appears for landing an unblockable move, however
Blocking	Change	Added a system to protect against high-low unblockables. If you block an overhead or low, you’ll now automatically block any attacks of the opposite property for about 4 frames (This was mostly added because of Lumina, but may apply to other future characters as well)
Blocking	Fixes	- Altered the way velocity is applied to blocking players so that you will no longer slide across the entire screen when blocking certain moves - Fixed an issue where dashing into a blocking opponent would cause them to slide much further than usual
Damage Scaling	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where rapid multi-hit moves would not update damage scaling correctly
Blast Burst	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where inputting an attack right as a Blast Burst ended would sometimes cause the attack to cancel its animation early
Combo Counter	Fix	Adjusted the combo hit counter so that certain objects (and Chip) don’t appear to clip behind it
Music	Change	Updated most of the music tracks in the game to be .ogg format, drastically reducing the amount of storage space they take up

Stages

New Stage	!!!	Added a new stage: Necromancer’s Keep
Unknown Plane	Change	Updated Unknown Plane to add more space behind the stage, making room for objects/summons that spawn slightly in the background such as Shiverskull’s crewmates and now Chip
Desert Train	Change	Adjusted the positioning of the train to make more room for objects/summons that spawn slightly in the background, such as Shiverskull’s crewmates and now Chip
Desert Train	Fix	Fixed a minor visual issue where the wind effect on Desert Train aligned with the camera’s view, causing the effect to appear rotated at weird angles during cinematics
Office Block	Fix	Fixed an issue where the post-round wall collision didn’t extend high enough, causing fighters to be able to pass through the wall after a KO
Iced Caps	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the “squeak” sound effect from the snails on Iced Caps would always play when the stage was loaded, even if hazards were disabled

Menus

Character Select	Change	Updated formatting of the colour selection text on the character select to be more in line with other text in the game
Stage Select	Change	Rearranged the stage select to accommodate the new Necromancer's Keep stage
Lore Journal	New	Added new Lore entries: Lumina Blackjack and Chip Blackjack (To unlock both: Beat Arcade Mode as Lumina)

Solo Modes

Mission Mode	New	Added 5 new Missions: - Black Hole Brawl - From Whence You Came - Knight in Super Armour - Sibling Rivalry - Dramatic Battle
Mission Mode	Change	Overhauled much of the UI in Mission Mode - Updated the visuals of the Mission previews and descriptions - Added a reward preview for any Mission that has an unlock tied to it - Updated the visuals of the Mission/Minigame/Boss Fights character select (also adding the ability to select alt colours)
Arcade Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where fighting Derrick in Arcade Mode would play Ember’s theme instead

Clyde Brightstar

Inferno Upper

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where hitting Clyde out of Inferno Upper would always put him into aerial hitstun, even if he had not left the ground yet

Annie Dasteel

Portable Supercharged Tesla (Down Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Tesla trap would still appear to move during Super freeze
HSC Function 203-A (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Gizmo’s laser could fire automatically while Annie was in hitstun

Sir Rattlebone

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Royal Armour Rattlebone (To unlock: Beat the Mission "Knight in Super Armour")
Crouching Heavy	Change	Increased horizontal knockback to make air combos more consistent

Shoto Kanji

Electric Blast (Hold Neutral Special)	Nerf	Reduced the size of the projectile’s hitbox, making it match the visual better and allowing for it to be low-profiled more easily
Doctor Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where unlocking the Doctor costume wouldn’t trigger the unlock pop-up

Derrick Stone

Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Derrick used his standing hurtbox size when crouch-blocking
Junk Pull (Down Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Derrick would not enter the hitstun animation when being hit during aerial Junk Pull

Cole "Red" Maxwell

Beam Overdrive (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where using Beam Overdrive would cause Red’s hitstun scaling to freeze forever, persisting even through rematches and Training Mode resets. This fix has changed the properties of the move somewhat, but it should still be functionally identical
"Rugged" Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Rugged costume's alt colours failed to load correctly

Baron Brightstar

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Boxer Baron (Unlocked by beating the Mission “From Whence You Came”)
Diamond Crusher (Hold Down Heavy)	Nerf	Increased damage scaling when used as a combo starter
Meteor Cannon (Down Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, if Baron was interrupted from behind during Meteor Cannon, the move’s hitbox would remain active for a single frame, causing the attacker to also get hit
Grand Brightstar Bomber (Half-Circle-Back Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where landing Grand Brightstar Bomber would completely reset hitstun scaling (NOTE: We have also now added this as a feature to Boss Mode Baron)

Sylvan Blackjack

Card Draw (Back + Any Button)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where any of Sylvan’s Card Draw, Card Throw, or Ace Energy animations would continue playing the animation for a short while if Sylvan was hit during them
Vacation Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, when using the Vacation costume, Sylvan would be sitting in mid-air during the Arcade Mode boss intro cutscene

Captain Shiverskull

Barrel O' Pain (Neutral Special)	Buff	Added Hard Knockdown property to the initial placement of the barrel
CANNONBALL!! (Neutral Super)	Buff	Using the move now resets your wall bounce, so that the wall bounce from the Super itself will always happen
More Swords!! (Down Super)	Nerf	Increased startup before the cinematic (5f → 20f)

Black Heart

Love Bomb (Up during Neutral Super)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the Love Bomb variant of ‘Til Death Do Us Part did not have a minimum damage scaling cap like other Super Moves

Callowman

New Costume

!!!

Added a new costume: Half-Suit

Doodle

Miscellaneous

Fix

Fixed an issue where Doodle could occasionally clip out of bounds and enter the real world

ERROR CS1501

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: NULL Suit
Invalid Action (Neutral Special)	Buff	Reduced recovery time (35f → 27f) (This should make it easier to combo after the move in most situations)
Invalid Action (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitstun decay would sometimes freeze after performing Invalid Action
Miscellaenous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where ERROR’s head model had some overlapping polygons

Ember

Copy Abilities

Fixed an issue where landing a multi-hit attack (such as crouching Heavy) immediately after landing a non-projectile Copy Ability would cause Ember’s hitstun scaling to freeze forever

Bosses

The Pill	Change	The Pill’s blocks can now be destroyed by stage hazards
Masked Oni	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Masked Oni’s move list was missing

Costumes

Bug Fix

Corrected the name of Red’s suit costume to Scruffy Suit

Addition

Full Patch Notes

Derrick Stone

New Character

!!!

Derrick is a very wacky and unique character who has the ability to pull random items and throw them at the opponent! Each item has unique properties, effects, and uses, so it's important to take note of which ones you get and use them accordingly! Derrick is great at controlling space with his items and his Dust Ball projectile, pressuring an opponent's guard, and performing long air combos! It's not always easy for him to get going, and he lacks meterless defensive options, but his strengths can nonetheless making him a formidable fighter!

General

Hitstun Scaling	Change	Altered hitstun scaling so that it now increases per move instead of per hit. This should make multi-hit attacks much more effective to use in combos, as they will no incur much more hitstun scaling compared to single-hit attacks (Note that not all multi-hit attacks benefit greatly from this, as previously there was just a multiplier in place to reduce the amount of scaling per hit that multi-hit attacks incurred. However, for characters with several 3-hit or more attacks, such as Clyde, Callowman, and ERROR, this change opens up tons of new combo possibilities!)
Throwable Items	Change	Altered the way dropping a held item when you get hit works; if you’re holding an item, the chance to drop the item when taking damage is now higher, but you also now won’t drop the item at all unless your opponent’s combo counter has reached 5 or higher
Projectiles	Change	Unblockable projectiles (such as Derrick’s new Buff Boy Plush item, and some Boss attacks) can now instantly break armour, to mirror how other Unblockable attacks work
Getup Reversal	Nerf	All Getup Reversals that put the character into the air will now cause them to enter a vulnerable falling state if the Reversal whiffs. This change affects the following characters: Clyde, Rattlebone, Shoto, Black Heart, Callowman, Doodle, and ERROR
Burst	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where a Burst and Reversal could be used at the same time (NOTE: This fix may have also fixed an issue where blockstun animations can sometimes override the Burst animation, but that issue is extremely difficult to recreate intentionally, so we’re not 100% sure)
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where aerial moves that retain any amount of momentum that is less than all of it (such as Shiverskull’s jumping Heavy) would retain all of the character's momentum when moving backwards
Air Dash	Bug Fix	Made a potential fix to an issue where inputting an air dash while switching sides with the opponent could sometimes cause you to air dash in the wrong direction
Block	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where it was possible to “block” grabs by pressing back just as the grab was about to connect
Character Select	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, if a Boss character was selected in Versus mode, it was possible to deselect them by pressing back while on the stage select

Menus

Lore Journal	!!!	Added a new lore entry: Derrick Stone (To Unlock: Beat Arcade Mode as Derrick)
Lore Journal	Change	Reorganized the Lore Journal to group characters by story relevance, and to group all the guest characters together
Facts	!!!	Added new loading screen Facts for Derrick

Solo Modes

Arcade Mode	Addition	The final fight before the boss of an Arcade run is now a Rival Fight! - Each character has a certain selection of other characters who can be their Rival, and you will now always fight one of those characters as your last normal fight! For example, Clyde will always fight either Baron or Black Heart, and Shoto will always fight either Derrick, Shin, or Shoto Goto - On Normal and Easy mode, Rival Fights are essentially identical to a normal fight, just with a specific character. However, on Hard mode, Rivals will be given Boss enhancements, which grant them more health, more damage, and some special character-specific buffs or gimmicks to watch out for! - Some Rival Fights are also guaranteed to be on a specific stage! For example, Shoto vs Derrick or Shoto vs Shin will always be on the Master Locks Dojo
Mission Mode	Additions	Added two new Missions: - Food Fight - The Floor is Lava
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where certain battle options/modifiers wouldn’t properly update when entering the Training Mode character select
Combo Trials	Fix	Updated Callowman’s Trial 05 to fix it being impossible to complete
Combo Trials	Fix	Adding missing text colours to Ember’s combo trial text boxes

Stages

Dasteel Workshop (all variants)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where it was possible to trigger the “Star KO” animation on Dasteel Workshop and all its variants
Office Block	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where a water bottle in the background of the Office Block stage would render over certain sprites and particle effects
Magma Core (Hazards On)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the rising lava hazard on Magma Core would grant meter when hit by it
Stage Hazards	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where items that disappear after a certain number of uses could cause the item spawning system to break after they disappear

Clyde Brightstar

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Casual Suit Clyde
Dash	Fix	The braking animation for Clyde's run now stops his ability to pass through the opponent, to make it more intuitive and to prevent situations where Clyde would seemingly play the incorrect braking animation

Annie Dasteel

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Formal Suit Annie
Throw	Nerf	Reduced damage (2400 → 1800) (We're really not sure why Annie's throw did more damage than average despite also having much longer range. We've now rectified this!)

Sir Rattlebone

New Costume

!!!

Added a new costume: Stylish Suit Rattlebone

Shoto Kanji

New Costume

!!!

Added a new costume: Tidy Suit Shoto

Cole "Red" Maxwell

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Scruffy Suit Red

Boss Mode	Change	Inspired by the aforementioned bug, Red in Boss Mode can now use all Bruiser Beatdown followups on whiff

Baron Brightstar

Crouching Heavy

Buff

When fully charged, Baron’s down heavy now has the ability to destroy certain objects that linger on the floor. These include ERROR’s portals, Doodle’s fire puddles, and Derrick’s bananas and magnets. (NOTE: Annie’s Tesla Coil traps and Ember’s blobs are excluded for now, as they are not actively dangerous when on the ground and must be manually activated)

Sylvan Blackjack

Security!! (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the tracking version of “Security!!” (performed by holding forward) had no max range when performed facing left
Restraining Order (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting Wither’s grab hitbox during Restraining Order would sometimes cause Sylvan to take damage

Captain Shiverskull

Miscellaneous

Addition

Shiverskull can now use the character-specific Training Mode option to select which crew member he will reset to at the end of a combo or after manually resetting positions

Justin O. Guy

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Karate Gi Guy (Unlocked by beating the Mission “Food Fight”)
Taxi Please! (Neutral Super)	Change	Guy’s “Taxi Please!” Super now has a unique timer graphic to show when the taxi will arrive, instead of reusing the graphic used for install Supers
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Guy could perform a janky-looking air dash when not holding his briefcase
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Guy could perform a forward long jump while running backwards in his caffeinated state
Just a Kick (Jumping Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the move's velocity wouldn't be applied correctly if performed out of a long jump

Callowman

Throw Break

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where Callowman’s throw break animation would not play

Doodle

Ya Like Parries? (Down Special)	Nerf	- Drastically increased recovery time after a successful counter (20f → 36f) - Increased horizontal knockback (This is to prevent Doodle being able to combo from his counter easily, at least outside of the corner. The counter is a very powerful defensive tool, so he now has to spend resources to follow up on it in most situations)
Throw	Fix	Fixed Doodle’s grab startup not having a sound effect
Stryker Costume	Fix	Fixed an issue where the sound effects during Stryker’s intro animation were not affected by audio settings

ERROR CS1501

Invalid Action (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the wind could push players during Super freeze
Integer Overflow (Down Super)	Bug Fix	- Fixed an issue where ERROR’s detached head could still move during super freeze if timed so that the head spawned just as the other opponent activated their own Super - Fixed an issue where ERROR’s detached head would always still be able to move during cinematics that don’t freeze time - Fixed an issue where ERROR’s detached head would still be active on the victory screen if the opponent won the match while it was active - Fixed an issue where ERROR’s detached head could still be hit during its “Glitching” state (whenever ERROR is in hitstun)
NAME Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where picking up throwable items using the NAME costume would cause them to visually break

Ember

Crash Landing (Neutral Super)	Change	Can now no longer cause a KO until the final hit, like many other Supers
Crash Landing (Neutral Super)	Fix	Fixed the explosion hitbox from Ember’s Crash Landing super remaining active for much longer than intended
Crash Landing (Neutral Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Ember could still collide with other players while inside her ship during her Crash Landing super, leading to unwanted effects
Miscellaneous	Fix	Fixed the name of Ember’s Back Heavy being incorrect in her move list
Throw Break	Fix	Fixed Ember’s throw break animation being slightly longer than every other character's

Bosses

Tiny Evil Clyde - MIsc.

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where Tiny Evil Clyde couldn’t be selected for Missions, Boss Fights, or Minigames, even with Boss Mode enabled

Ember

Jumping Light	Nerf	Reduced the amount of blockstun dealt to the opponent
Jumping Medium	Nerf	Reduced the amount of blockstun dealt to the opponent
Bouncy Dash (Back Heavy)	Nerf	Increased recovery time (16f → 20f)
Blob Lob (Down Special)	Nerf	If Ember gets hit while the blob is active, the blob will now be destroyed
Super Moves	Bug Fix	Made a potential fix to an issue where performing a Super immediately after finishing a copy ability animation would consume the required Super meter but prevent the Super animation from playing

Bosses

Doodle (Boss Mode enabled)	Additions	Doodle now has some extra changes when Boss Mode is enabled: - Charging is much faster than normal - Molten Doughnuts have no limit on the number that can be on-screen
Boss Mode	Fix	Doodle and Ember's special UI elements will no longer disappear with Boss Mode enabled
Zorb - New Costume	Addition	Zorb now has an alternate costume, Eyepatch! This is another character from the game Zorb is originally from, who was already featured in Stryker's throw animation, so we thought we'd turn him into a special boss costume as well!

The Mask - Down Super	Addition	Added extra sound effects to the Mask's down super

Air Dash

Fix

Fixed missing speed line effects on Red's air dash animation

Justin O. Guy

Taxi Please!! (Neutral Super)	Addition	Added new visual and sound effects for Guy’s Taxi super on hit
CPU Opponents	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where a CPU Guy could perform air dashes (albeit, very buggy-looking ones)

Baron Brightstar

Trucker Costume

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the Trucker Baron costume’s eyes would be layered on top of his sunglasses during his victory animation

Black Heart

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Ayall Form Black Heart (Unlocked by completing the Mission "Ayall Brawl")
Arctic Costume	Fix	Fixed a slight model issue with the Arctic costume

Callowman

Callow Crash (Neutral Special)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where using Callow Crash in the air after a long jump would halt the attack's forward momentum

Bosses

Boss Mode	Change	Any character in Boss mode will now no longer enter a vulnerable state after whiffing a Break Burst
Black Heart (Boss Mode enabled)	Additions	Due to the new Mission, Black Heart now has some special changes when Boss Mode is enabled: - Crouching Medium now tracks the opponent’s position up to fullscreen - Gelatinous Shadow (Neutral Special) and Negative Fire (Jumping Special) now grant Black Heart meter even on whiff - Negative Fire projectiles now home in on the opponent's position - Heart Breaker (Down Super) no longer stops if Black Heart is hit - Black Heart no longer goes into a vulnerable state after whiffing Violent Kicks, Negative Fire, or Love Bomb
The Mask - Misc.	Nerf	Reduced total character HP
The Mask - Misc.	Buff	The Mask now gains meter from using its summon moves and teleports
Donner Misterkay - Grim Devasto	Bug Fix	Made a potential fix to an issue where Donner could move during his Grim Devasto super
Donner Misterkay - Misc.	Bug Fix	Fixed a visual bug where the Schwarzerblitz logo would appear when hovering over Donner on the boss character select, even if he wasn't unlocked
The Pill - Misc.	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Pill was always unlocked by default in the Mission Mode character select if you had Boss Mode enabled
The Pill - Back Heavy	Buff lol	The Pill's cube now has a hitbox while spawning, which is unblockable. This is mostly to stop the cube from pushing characters into walls and the floor as it's spawning but it's also really funny
The Pill - Back Heavy	Fix	Altered the collision of the Pill's cube so it is less likely to clip players into walls

April 20, 2023 - 0.3.1 - Late April Fools + Balance Patch

・Major balance changes

Full Patch Notes

General

Music	Addition	Added a new music track: We Need a Gyro -Judo Mix-, the Andrea Demetrio remix of Callowman's theme made for his appearance in ExploJudo!
Miscellaneous	Addition	All Special and Super moves now deal chip damage against blocking opponents. For most attacks, chip damage is 1/5 (20%) of the attack’s normal damage, and cannot cause a KO (it will leave the opponent with 1 HP instead). Certain attacks (mainly beam Supers and other moves that can keep you trapped in block for a long time) have their chip damage reduced to 1/8 (12.5%)
Super Meter	Change	The amount of Super Meter gained from all sources has been reduced by 25%
Reverse Beats	Change	Added a prevention system for infinite blockstrings: When you use a reverse beat after hitting a blocking player, you are now locked out of using any more reverse beats until a short time after the opponent exits blockstun
Super Attacks	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where both characters performing Super moves at the same time could cause one of them to become frozen in place
Damage Scaling	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where some projectile Special moves would sometimes not abide by the 30% damage scaling cap for Special moves
Character Selection	Fix	Fixed an oversight where Baron, Guy, and Johnson could not be chosen by the Random character selection

Solo Modes

Training Mode	Changes	- The “Show Damage Data” setting is now enabled by default when starting up Training Mode - The Damage Data window will now update when hitting a blocking opponent - The Damage Scaling Percentage display in the Damage Data window will now also display the percentage of damage dealt as chip when hitting a blocking opponent
Mission Mode	Addition	Added a new Mission: Exploding Judo Federation
Mission Mode	Fix	When cycling costumes in the Mission Mode character select, costumes that are not unlocked will now be skipped instead of loaded and silhouetted, to improve performance

Annie Dasteel

Portable Supercharged Tesla (Down Special)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where Portable Supercharged Tesla’s disc hitbox would not deactivate if a Training Mode reset or round change occurred before the trap was ever activated

Sir Rattlebone

Disguise Costume	Addition	Rattlebone’s Disguise costume now has a bonus EX alt colour that takes off his hood and glasses. This will be needed for Story Mode, so we thought we would allow players to select it normally as well!
Chivalrous Spirit (Down Super)	Addition/Buff	While the install is active, all sword normals now deal chip damage

Shoto

Lightning Upper (Down Special)

Buff

Using a Blast Burst will now refresh the “strong” version of the move if it was already used up in the combo

Justin O. Guy

New Costume

!!!

Added a new costume: Super Guy

Sylvan Blackjack

Ace Energy (Back + Any Button (with Ace))

Nerf

The Medium Heart projectile will now disappear if Sylvan is hit while it is on-screen

Baron Brightstar

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Trucker Baron
Command Grabs	Fix	Fixed Brightstar Bomber and Grand Brightstar Bomber having an unnecessary pass-through property

Captain Shiverskull

Give No Quarter! (Down Special)

Nerf

Crew members will now stop attacking and jump away if Shiverskull is hit while they are active (This change makes it so Shiverskull can no longer instantly make himself safe by calling a crew member, as it was understandably very annoying when you managed to get a successful hit on Shiverskull, only to be completely stopped by a crew member)

Callowman

New Costume

!!!

Added a new costume: Judo Callowman

Doodle
After testing around with Doodle a lot more and trying various things, we discovered he was still a BIG problem. He was frustrating to fight and boring to play as due to his most optimal strategy being to spam Doughnuts and Hot Sauce as much as possible, which was only further worsened by the new addition of chip damage. His effectiveness in close quarters was very strong as well, so he practically had no weaknesses. We've made some significant changes to his kit in the hopes of making him more fair and fun for both sides of the matchup!
Sorry, Doodle. We did, in fact, nerf those guns.

Crouching Light	Nerf	Increased startup time (5f → 7f)
Crouching Medium	Nerf	Increased startup time (6f → 10f)
Scribble Slash (Back Heavy)	Buffs	- Reduced startup time (25f → 20f) - Increased projectile damage (300 → 600)
Molten Doughnut (Back-Forward Charge Special)	Nerf	Doodle can now only have one Molten Doughnut projectile on screen at a time. Attempting to fire a second one will now result in no projectile being fired
Hot Sauce (Neutral Special (in air))	Nerf	The puddle will now disappear if Doodle is hit while it is active
Ultimate Doodle (Down Super)	Buffs	The following changes have been made to Ultimate Doodle: - Increased the amount of time the buff lasts for, which in turn allows more chargeless Doughnuts and Haymakers to be performed during a single use of the Super - While in Ultimate form, the one-at-a-time limit of Molten Doughnuts is now removed - While in Ultimate form, Fractured Haymaker now becomes an overhead (Since the goal of these Doodle changes is to encourage using more of his moveset rather than spamming a few select attacks, we wanted to give some buffs to Ultimate Doodle that make it more worth spending meter on compared to Meter Burner. It will now allow Doodle to restore some of his former overpowered glory, if only for a brief time!)

ERROR CS1501

Integer Overflow (Down Super)	Nerf	The head projectile will now stop in place if ERROR is hit while it is active
Miscellaneous	Fix?	Fixed an issue where ERROR's win quotes were broken when facing another ERROR (but added the bugged quote as an actual win quote on purpose because it was funny)

Mystery Johnson

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: Referee Johnson
Trigger System	Buff	Using two bullets in a combo will now lock the opponent out of using their Break Burst, similar to the effect that Blast Burst has for other characters
BLOODY MOONFISH! (Down Super)	Buff	At any point after throwing Shaz, you are now able to Trigger Cancel, with Impact Run also being available, allowing you to skip the recovery animation
BLOODY MOONFISH! (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Shaz projectile could be hit by attacks, which would damage Johnson
Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Johnson would enter his standing block animation for a single frame when crouch-blocking

Bosses
Some people considered Donner to be a bit too easy for what he was, so we've made some changes to hopefully remedy that.

Donner - Misc.	Buff	- Slightly increased max health for the boss version - Donner will now gain back all six bullets after a round, regardless of whether he wins or loses (also applies to Johnson when using Boss Mode on him)
Donner - Forward/Back Special	Buff	- Reduced the startup time - All Darkness Indomita follow-ups now retain the armour of the stance itself
Donner - Darkness Indomita (Neutral Special)	Buff	- Reduced the startup time - All Darkness Indomita follow-ups now retain the armour of the stance itself
Donner - Circle of Doom (Down Super)	Buff	Increased the size of the initial projectiles
The Mask - Misc.	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where The Mask would use the opposing character’s win quotes instead of its own

April 6, 2023 - 0.3.0 - Schwarzerblitz + Balance Patch

・Mystery Johnson added

・3 new costumes

・Donner Misterkay boss fight added

・5 new missions

・Bug fixes

・Major balance changes

Full Patch Notes

Mystery Johnson

New Character

!!!

Added new playable character: MYSTERY JOHNSON

General

Music	Addition	Added new music track: Shape in the Snow -Vocal Mix- (This is the original version of the song by Wontolla!)
Blocking	Change	Blockstun (the time in which you are stuck blocking after being hit) has been increased by 1-2 frames for all attacks
Blocking	Change	Players in blockstun can no longer be hit by grabs (This change prevents unfair situations where a player could be locked in blockstun and then immediately grabbed without having any opportunity to avoid it. Namely, this addresses Baron's oppressive grab mixups and Shiverskull's More Swords pressure)
Dash	Change	Added a small buffer window for inputting a dash during another action, mainly to make dashing out of an attack easier and more consistent
Burst/Reversal	Change	After being hit by a Break Burst or Reversal, you can now air tech backwards or downwards, rather than being forced into a neutral air tech. Forward air tech is still locked out, however (This change should help prevent situations where landing a Break Burst or Reversal could grant an immediate advantage, due to the launched player being unable to maneuver effectively afterward. They will now have the option to either quickly return to the ground with a down tech, or back away with a backward tech)
Burst	Change	Slightly reduced the amount of Burst meter gained from taking damage
Guard Reversal	Nerfs	Several changes have been made to Guard Reversals. - Removed the time freeze that previously occurred during the startup of Guard Reversals - For all characters, slightly increased the startup time and drastically increased the recovery time (though the recovery is sped up upon a successful hit) - Reduced the duration of blockstun from blocking a Guard Reversal - Some characters' Guard Reversals have had their hitbox size reduced. See individual character sections (Following the requests of several community members, Guard Reversals have received numerous hits to their overall strength. The goal with these changes is to introduce more counterplay options against Guard Reversals, and to encourage using them more thoughtfully, as previously there was essentially no penalty for throwing one out at a bad time. They are still a very strong option, but you must now be more careful about when to use them.)
Armour	Nerf	All Armour (with the exception of Baron's Tough Armour) can now be instantly broken by low attacks (This is a somewhat experimental change, but similar to Guard Reversals, we want to introduce more counterplay options against Armour, as many players have found it to be a frustrating mechanic to deal with.)
Blocking	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the blockstun timer would go down during cinematics
Blocking	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, when using the button block system, players holding the block button had no friction
Throws	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where it was impossible to throw tech out of some characters' throws
Super Moves	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where timer-based Supers, such as installs, would continue to have their timers tick down during cinematics
Super Moves	Bug Fix	Removed unnecessary extra cameras from some Super cinematics, which should reduce lag
Burst	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Break Bursting out of an opponent's combo would not properly reset their wall bounce and floor bounce, if they were used up
Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an opponent during Reversal recovery would not apply knockback correctly
Crumple	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an opponent in knockdown with a crumple-inducing move would cause the crumple to end prematurely
Taunt	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where pressing the Taunt button simultaneously with either Super or Burst would cause the player to taunt while still consuming the resources for the Super or Burst
CPU Opponents	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where CPU opponents could sometimes use the back-to-block system, which they are not programmed to use, leading to them failing to block most attacks

Solo Modes

Arcade Mode	Addition	Added a new alternate Arcade Boss: DONNER MISTERKAY! He replaces Sylvan when playing as Johnson, or any of the Schwarzerblitz costumes (on Hard Mode only)
Arcade Mode	Addition	Roy can now occasionally appear in place of Guy as an Arcade Mode opponent
Mission Mode	Addition	Added 5 new Missions: - Faceless Face-Off - Reverse Horde 2 - No Bullets? No Problem - When the Lightning Strikes - The People's Champ
Mission Mode	Change	Missions which allow you to select any character now also allow you to select a costume
Mission Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where failing and retrying the Reverse Horde mission would cause the player to become unable to act
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the "caught" sound effect in the chase minigames would not obey audio settings
Minigames	Fix	Fixed the "You Were Caught" text in the chase minigames using the incorrect font

Clyde Brightstar

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: RENZO OUTFIT CLYDE (To unlock: beat the Mission "No Bullets? No Problem")
Guard Reversal	Nerf	Reduced hitbox size
Heat Rush (Neutral Special)	Nerf	Slightly reduced hitbox size for all hits
Standing Heavy	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Clyde's hurtbox position would snap noticeably at the end of the move
Throw	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Clyde could pass through opponents during his grabbing animation, leading to the throw often whiffing near the corner
Inferno Upper (Down Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Inferno Upper would sometimes randomly deal slightly more damage than usual
Brightstar Barrage (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Brightstar Barrage's cinematic follow-up was not fully invincible

Annie Dasteel

Guard Reversal	Nerf	Reduced hitbox size
Hi-Volt Stun Grenade (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where resetting in Training Mode just as Annie's stun grenade exploded would cause the explosion effect to still spawn after the reset

Sir Rattlebone

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: CHEZ MICK RATTLEBONE (To unlock: beat the Mission "Faceless Face-Off")
Crouching Medium	Nerf	Slightly reduced horizontal range (This simply brings the attack's hitbox more in line with the animation)
Crouching Medium	Nerf	Increased recovery time
Shield Bash (Back Special)	Nerfs	Some changes have been made to Shield Bash and Kingbone Slicer. - The initial shield hit can no longer be cancelled on block - Increased recovery time of Kingbone Slicer (the jumping followup) (These changes should hopefully help mitigate Shield Bash's overcentralizing nature in Rattlebone's moveset, and encourage the move to be used more carefully)
Guard Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Rattlebone's Guard Reversal would not play the on-hit animation while Chivalrous Spirit was active
Guard Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Rattlebone's Guard Reversal would sometimes play the on-hit animation even when the first hit did not connect
Costumes	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Disguise and Robobone costumes used the incorrect misc. animations

Shoto

Guard Reversal

Nerf

Reduced hitbox size

Cole "Red" Maxwell

Guard Reversal	Nerf	Reduced hitbox size
Bruiser Beatdown (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Bruiser Beatdown's followups could be performed by simply holding down the Special button for the entire duration of the move

Baron Brightstar

New Costume	!!!	Added a new costume: EVILOBSTER (To unlock: beat the Mission "The People's Champ")
Giant Tackle (Back Heavy)	Nerf	Reduced the amount of time the armour is active for (now starts on frame 10 instead of frame 5)
Brightstar Bomber (Neutral Special)	Nerf	Brightstar Bomber is now counted as a launcher (meaning it will have reduced damage and hitstun upon being used multiple times in a combo)
Muscle Form: Red Supergiant (Down Super)	Buff	Muscle Form now grants Baron a 25% damage reduction from all sources while active (Since it was harder to put Baron into a combo in this form, he would take full unscaled damage from attacks more often. This change is to counteract that extra damage)
Grand Brightstar Bomber (Half-Circle-Back Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Grand Brightstar Bomber could not hit opponents who were just hitting the ground from a launch, like other command grabs are able to
Star Breaker Slam (Neutral Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where holding down the Taunt button as Star Breaker Slam was ending would cause the opponent to remain in a knockdown state for much longer than usual

Captain Shiverskull

Guard Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where opponents hit by Shiverskull's Guard Reversal would tech out later than intended
More Swords!! (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the camera would be misplaced and frozen if the opponent activated a Super at the same time that Shiverskull's More Swords cinematic began

Black Heart

Guard Reversal	Nerf	Slightly reduced hitbox size
'Til Death Do Us Part (Neutral Super)	Nerf	Some changes have been made to Love Bomb, the jumping variant of this Super. - When pressing up to perform Love Bomb, Black Heart will now stop in place for a brief moment before jumping - Increased the recovery time of Love Bomb after whiffing (These changes should help turn the Super into more of a mind game when used in neutral , rather than simply allowing Black Heart to react to whether or not the opponent jumps)
Miscellaneous	Change	Altered Black Heart's "free fall" animation (plays after whiffing certain aerial attacks) to be more distinct from his normal falling animation
Combo Trials	Change	Altered Black Heart's Trial 08 so that it still works with the aforementioned changes to Love Bomb

Doodle

Crouching Medium	Nerf	The move can no longer be cancelled after being blocked
Fractured Haymaker (Down-Up Charge Special)	Nerf	Some changes have been made to Fractured Haymaker - Now hits Mid instead of Overhead (meaning it can now be blocked crouching) - Reduced damage (2600 → 2200) (These changes to Crouching Medium and Fractured Haymaker should somewhat limit Doodle's offensive capabilities, bringing him more in line with his intended design as a fast and versatile, but still overall defensive-leaning character)
Pitiful Doughnut (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Pitiful Doughnut would not shoot a projectile if a Back Heavy projectile was on screen
Guard Reversal	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Doodle's Guard Reversal appeared to have a broken animation when using the Stryker costume

Bosses

Shooting Star (Super Move)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where Shooting Star's Super projectile was on the incorrect sorting layer, allowing it to collide with objects (such as players) in unintended ways

February 21, 2023 - 0.2.0 - Controller Overhaul

・Complete controller system overhaul

・Bug fixes

・3 new missions

・1 new costume

・Minor balance changes

Full Patch Notes

General

Controls	Major Change	Control rebinding has been reworked and improved. The profile system has been removed, but now both players are able to rebind controls simultaneously! You can also now pull up the control rebinding menu directly from the Character Select Screen!
Crumple	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an airborne opponent with a move that causes crumple would not update the opponent's hit state
Miscellaneous	Addition	Button glyphs for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch controllers will now appear when using those controllers! (NOTE: Third-party controllers will likely not be recognized as their first-party counterparts. In this case, the button glyphs will default to the standard Xbox glyphs)
Miscellaneous	Change	Edited the poster that appears on game startup, as D-Input controllers are now fully supported!

Menus

Character Select Screen	Addition	On the character select screen, controllers can now be manually assigned to the desired player through a special pop-up screen. This screen will appear whenever a new controller is assigned (or by pressing the ESC key while in the rebinding menu), and can be manually closed by pressing Start. Any player not assigned a controller will be controlled using keyboard
Stage Select Screen	Addition	Added a small animation to the stage select to help make it easier to navigate
Stage Select Screen	Change	Slightly altered the visuals of the music selector
Lore Journal	Bug Fix	Potentially fixed an issue where backing out of a lore entry could cause the player to become stuck on the lore screen

Stages

Office Block	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where it was possible to stand on top of the breakable glass with hazards on
Unknown Plane	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the walls could start closing in while intro animations were still playing

Solo Modes

Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the training dummy would always use Button Block, even if Player 2 controls were set to Back-to-Block
Mission Mode	Addition	Added 3 new Missions: - All the King's (Stick)Men - Are You All Left? - BOSS MISSION: Shady Business
Mission Mode	Addition	Missions that require you to defeat a certain number of enemies will now display the number of enemies remaining at the bottom of the screen
Mission Mode	Addition	Some Missions, including all Boss Missions, will now play intro animations at the start of the fight
Mission Mode	Fix	Fixed an oversight in the Mission "Poker Face" where defeating the opponent with Sylvan's fully-powered All In Super move would not count as a victory

Clyde Brightstar

Skeleton Costume

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the costume's arms floated above the main body

Sir Rattlebone

CPU

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where a Rattlebone CPU could not perform the Kingbone Slicer follow-up attack for Shield Bash

Cole "Red" Maxwell

Bruiser Beatdown (Neutral Special)

Bug Fix

Fixed a minor animation error in which Red’s beam would be slightly larger than normal after whiffing a Rage-enhanced Bruiser Beatdown

Baron Brightstar

Brightstar Bomber (Neutral Special)	Buff	Now causes a Hard Knockdown (This is to help give the move a unique purpose compared to Grand Brightstar Bomber. While it remains the slower, weaker attack overall, it allows Baron to better keep up his advantage)
Grand Brightstar Bomber (Half-Circle-Back Special)	Buff	Hitbox has been extended slightly downward (There were some cases in which this move would whiff on opponents who were crouching or using certain hurtbox-reducing attacks, so this should fix that. Note that this change does NOT mean that GBB can now grab opponents out of a knockdown state)
Star Breaker Slam (Neutral Super)	Buff	Now causes a Hard Knockdown (Some players found this Super not worth using as it made Baron lose any advantage he may have had. This change should help mitigate that)

Captain Shiverskull

CPU

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where a Shiverskull CPU could not perform the Sword Spear follow-up attack for More Swords

Black Heart

CPU

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where a Black Heart CPU could not perform the Love Bomb follow-up attack for ‘Til Death Do Us Part

Doodle

New Costume

!!!

Added new alternate costume: Knight Doodle (To unlock: Beat the Mission "All the King's (Stick)Men")

January 4, 2023 - 0.1.2 - New Year's Patch

・New minigame added

・Bug fixes

・Other minor changes

・No balance changes

Full Patch Notes

General

Throw Tech	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where throw techs checked for the wrong state, rendering them unusable. No idea how that happened
Dashes	Change	Non-run-type dashes now use continuous momentum, meaning that dashing into the opponent will not longer stop your dash momentum, and you will now be able to "push" other players with your dash (NOTE: We've tried to keep everyone's dash length/speed the same as it was before, but there may be some slight differences due to having to change the system entirely. If these slight differences happen to break any combo routes, trials, etc., please let us know)

Stages

Prison Courtyard	Change	The NPCs on the stage have been updated with new, more unique designs and smoother animations. This also applies to Prison Courtyard (Basketball)
Prison Courtyard	Fix	Fixed the textures/meshes on the wire fence so the tiling is seamless. This also applies to Prison Courtyard (Basketball)

Solo Modes

Arcade Mode	Addition	Added some additional NPC icons to the jumbotron pool
Minigames	Addition	Added a new Race to the Finish minigame: Magma Core! (NOTE: This minigame is not 100% finished yet, and as of now is only available through the Minigames menu. When it's done, it will be properly added to Arcade Mode)

Annie Dasteel

Steampunk Costume

Fix

Fixed an issue where Steampunk Annie's hover sound effects were unaffected by the global volume settings

Baron Brightstar

Star Breaker Slam (Neutral Super)

Fix

Baron is now properly made invincible for the rest of the animation after connecting the initial grab

・New stage variant

・4 new missions

Full Patch Notes

General

Break Burst/Misc	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Break Bursts, and other moves with a special whiff-recovery animation, would play said animation even on hit if the opponent recovered fast enough
Grabs	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where grabbed players would sometimes be in the wrong animation state
Super Attacks	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Super cinematics could override the fadeout effect from returning to the main menu mid-match
Silly Physics Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where players would not fall through ERROR's void Teleport(); portal in Silly Physics Mode
Miscellaneous	Fix	Added a failsafe to prevent players from falling below the stage on non-Ringout stages. If a player somehow manages to clip below the stage, they will now be snapped back up to ground level as soon as they enter their recovery animation

Menus

Character Select

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the SFX for returning to the main menu from the character select was not affected by volume settings

Stages

New Stage Variant	!!!	Added new stage variant: Office Block (After Hours) (To unlock: Beat the Mission "Overtime")
The Flying Swordsman	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where parts of the stage would clip through the fadeout effect used for exiting the match and changing rounds
Euterpe's Cradle	Change	The rain effect now counts as an NPC, and will thus be disabled if NPCs are turned off in the graphics settings

Solo Modes

Mission Mode	Addition	Added 4 new Missions: - Overtime - Meat vs Metal - Cain the Cane - Heavy Blizzard
Mission Mode	Fix	Prevented the player from being able to select a Mission while backing out of Mission Mode
Mission Mode	Fix	Prevented the player from being able to back out of Mission Mode while a Mission is loading. This fixes a major issue where two Missions could be loaded simultaneously, causing the game to be effectively unplayable
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where resetting just as a grab connected would cause the next use of the grab to instantly skip to the throw animation
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the SFX for the barrel breaking was not affected by volume settings
Combo Trials	Fix	Fixed an oversight in which the button prompt for closing text boxes did not match the actual button used for this action

Justin O. Guy

New Costume

!!!

Added new alternate costume: Ugly Sweater Guy (To unlock: Beat the Mission "Overtime")

Baron Brightstar

Miscellaneous

Fix

Baron is now compatible with Big Heads mode

Sylvan Blackjack

New Costume

!!!

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue which caused Mandible's animations to be drastically mistimed with the rest of the Super

Black Heart

New Costume

!!!

Added new alternate costume: Arctic Black Heart (To unlock: Beat the Mission "Heavy Blizzard")

ERROR CS1501

Integer Overflow (Down Super)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the head projectile could be moved during cinematics using Rubberbanding

Bosses

The Mask - Misc.	Fix	There is now a hard upper limit on how high the Mask is able to fly, in addition to the existing limit that was relative to the other player's vertical position
Tiny Evil Clyde - Misc.	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Tiny Evil Clyde's floating head projectiles could become frozen indefinitely if a Super was used

December 17, 2022 - 0.1.0 - Baron + Guy Patch

・Added Baron Brightstar and Justin O. Guy

・New stage added

・3 missions added.

・Bug fixes

・Minor balance changes

Full Patch Notes

Baron Brightstar

New Character

!!!

Baron Brightstar is a massive, hulking grappler with a wide array of devastating command grabs. He may be slow, but if he gets in a good position, it's going to be VERY difficult to stop him. Aside from highly-damaging grappling attacks for nearly every situation, Baron also comes with an earth-shattering Crouching Heavy that can launch from nearly full-screen, an armoured punch that can make the opponent crumple in place, and a powerful Super Move that grants Baron PERMANENT armour for a short time. Although he is the estranged father of Clyde Brightstar, it seems that the two of them couldn't possibly be any more different.

Justin O. Guy

New Character

!!!

Justin Ormal Guy, or just "Guy" for short, is... well, he's just a normal guy. In a world largely populated by people with all sorts of crazy superpowers, Guy is one of the few to be born without one, and sadly for him, it shows. Guy is a pretty pathetic-looking fighter, with absolutely no concept of martial arts, and his only real "weapon" being the briefcase he carries around. He is heavily looked down upon by other competitors, and yet somehow, he perseveres. Maybe, hidden somewhere within this joke of a fighter, is the potential to do incredible things, the likes of which have never been seen before... maybe.

General

Miscellaneous	Addition	Added screenshake effects to certain moves and actions in the game, mainly for Baron. In addition, there is now a screenshake slider in the Graphics settings, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the screenshake or disable it altogether (this option will most likely be moved to a separate Accessbility section in the future, when we have more accessibility settings to put there)
Songs	Addition	Added new song "Paper Jam (Guy's Theme)" to the music select and Jukebox
Unblockable Attacks	Change	Unblockable strike attacks now break armour
Burst	Change	Break Burst and Blast Burst now both break armour
Burst	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where projectile Supers could be bursted out of early if the attacking player was no longer considered to be in the "attacking" state
Super Attacks	Change	All Super Attacks now break armour
Install Supers	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where blocking attacks would still allow you to gain meter with an Install active
Camera	Fix	Slightly tweaked the camera movement, mainly to fix several minor issues involving camera positioning and snapping
Projectiles	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where projectiles tagged as jump-cancellable launchers (such as Callowman's rock) would allow the player to jump cancel them multiple times in a single combo
Projectiles	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where projectile attacks could build Super meter while an install Super was active
Reversals	Bug Fix	Potentially fixed an issue where holding down the Reversal button to repeatedly perform reversals could cause the player to get stuck idling or crouching, with the reversal visual effects still applying
Paralysis Effect	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where if Player 2 performed a Super while Player 1 was in Paralysis, the Paralysis would become permanent
Paralysis Effect	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an opponent with Blast Burst just as the Paralysis effect ended would cause the Blast Burst knockback to not apply correctly
Getup Rolls	Bug Fix	Potentially fixed an issue where getup rolls would sometimes not apply velocity to the character
Character Select	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the player could toggle Boss stats (red names) on any character, even if the Boss Mode extra was disabled
Character Select	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Insane AI warning message would appear outside of Versus mode, and could even appear for a player rather than a CPU
Stage Select	Change	The stage select has been slightly rearranged
Victory Screen	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes choose incorrect victory quotes if a character's entire name was contained within the first part of another character's name (i.e. Shoto and Shoto Goto)

Menus

Lore Journal	Change	Edited the following lore entries: - Cole "Red" Maxwell
Facts	Addition	Added new facts (loading tips) relating to Baron and Guy

Stages

New Stage	!!!	Added new stage: Office Block
Ringout Hazards	Change	On stages with ringout zones on the sides (such as Urbanima, Duels of Fortune Arena, and Boxing Ring), you can no longer bounce opponents off the far corner walls
Nightmare House	Fix	Nightmare House is now properly tagged as an "indoor" stage, meaning it cannot trigger the Star KO animation

Solo Modes

Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the dummy would not block low-hitting projectiles if it was in a standing state, even if set to block all attacks
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where you could reset before the “Ready, Fight” pop-ups appeared (also applies to Combo Trials)
Arcade Mode	Change	Hazards are now forced off during the Sylvan boss fight, even if they were set to be on for the rest of the run
Mission Mode	Addition	Added 3 new Missions: - Bullet Bounce Arena - Daylight Robbery - The Best Defense
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Horde mode enemies wouldn't take chip damage from projectiles while blocking, as they do for all other attacks
Minigames	Changes	The Shadow monster in the Chase minigame now changes its speed to match the average mobility of your character. This means that slower characters like Baron have more time to complete the minigame, while faster characters like Clyde have less time
Minigames	Change	Enemies in the Chase minigame will now attempt to jump over objects such as beds
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Car object's exploded pieces were missing a texture
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the camera for cinematic Supers would not work properly in minigames
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the pause menu would not appear in minigames other than horde battles

Annie Dasteel

AI Annie Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where AI Annie's Colour 08 was inaccessible
AI Annie Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where AI Annie would be the Boss version if spawned in Arcade Mode

Sylvan Blackjack

Shirtless Costume	Addition	When using the Shirtless costume for Sylvan, the statue spawned during Restraining Order (down Super) will now also be shirtless
Boss Version	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the slot machine rain attack would be skipped if Sylvan was put into a unique hit state (such as wall bounce or floor bounce) by the hit that would have triggered the attack to begin
Boss Version	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the slot machine rain attack could be started during a cinematic
Restraining Order (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the grabbed player would remain frozen in a grabbed state for several seconds if the move was interrupted before the cinematic began

Captain Shiverskull

MORE SWORDS!! (Down Super)	Nerf	Added a brief startup period to the move before the cinematic, during which Shiverskull can be interrupted. This prevents him from being able to use it immediately after getting up from a knockdown, which rendered him untouchable
Give No Quarter!! (Mandible)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Mandible would be unaffected by Super time freeze after firing his cannonball

Callowman

Villain Vanquisher (Down Super)

Change

The background that appears during the cinematic will now change colour depending on the costume and alternate colour selected

Doodle

The Mask - Misc.	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Mask's summoned minions could get stuck in the corner on stages with physical walls (such as Master Locks' Dojo or Training Room)

September 30, 2022 - 0.0.2 - Bug Fix Patch

・Major bug fixes

・Minor balance changes

Full Patch Notes

General

Fonts	Change	Changed the main large font used throughout the game, and on this game page, to "Bangers." We've also updated many sprites in the game that used the previous font. (For the past several years we've been using a font called Badaboom, but recently we realised this poses a major problem for if we ever want to commercialize the game, as licensing that particular font would be very expensive. As such we've decided to change to a similar, but royalty-free font. This font change may take some getting used to, but it's to help secure our potential future!)
Controls	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Heavy button wouldn't function correctly if bound to a trigger.
Audio Settings	Change	Adjusted the volume range so that the volume can no longer be increased to the point of distorting the audio. What used to be 85% volume is now 100%.
Character Select Screen	Addition	Added a special message that appears when changing the CPU difficulty to Insane.
Character Select Screen	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where selecting Random too quickly would sometimes result in the previously-highlighted character being selected instead.
CPU Opponents	Change	CPUs set to Insane difficulty no longer have full character resources, as this caused some unintended bugs.
CPU Opponents	Bug Fix	Attempted to fix an issue in which CPU opponents would sometimes jitter and freak out after having their guard broken.
Music Selection	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where selecting a music track other than "Auto" would cause the song name to not display at the top of the screen at the start of the match.
Dashes	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where performing a Super or Reversal at the very end of a dash could sometimes cause the Super or Reversal to not activate despite the meter being spent
Super Attacks	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where pausing the game as soon as a cinematic begins could cause both players to become frozen and unable to act
Super Attacks	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where you could pause during the cinematics of some Supers
Taunts	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where pressing an attack button during certain characters' taunts would cause the attack to come out immediately after the taunt, but stop its animation early
Match Intro	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the "Skip" button during intro animations would not change its button icon based on your set controls
Victory Screen	Bug Fix	Players can no longer start a taunt for a brief period before the screen flashes white to start the victory screen. This should hopefully prevent an issue where taunting just as the victory animation started would keep the screen permanently white and softlock the game
Text Pop-Ups	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where unblockable projectiles would not incur the "Unblockable!" text pop-up if they caused a guard break

Stages

Stage Hazards	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where stage hazards on Meteor Shower Town, Kingsland Graveyard, and Magma Core would not pause during Super cinematics
Ringout Hazards	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where touching the death plane on a ringout stage granted both players a full Super meter
Dasteel Workshop (Hazards)	Change	Altered the physics of the Stun Grenade throwable item to be more intuitive
Magma Core (Hazards)	Change	Slightly decreased the cooldown of the lava pillars' active hitboxes
Magma Core (Hazards)	Change	Setplay objects that can be placed on the retracting platforms will now delete themselves when the platforms begin moving back up. (The only exception to this is Shiverskull's crew members, who will drop down onto the ground level when the platforms rise)
Magma Core (Hazards)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where ending a round while the rising lava hazard was active would cause the next round to start with both players standing in the lava
Magma Core (Hazards)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where players could repeatedly jump on the retracting platforms as they were rising in order to stay on them
Magma Core (Hazards)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where some setplay objects (such as Shiverskull's crew members and Sylvan's slot machine) could not be placed on the retracting platforms. (Note that ERROR's void Teleport(); portal still cannot be placed on the platforms, which is intentional, as allowing that would create its own whole slew of issues)
Magma Core (Hazards)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Shiverskull's "CANNONBALL!!" Super would visually break when used on the retracting platforms

Solo Modes

Arcade Mode	Addition	Rattlebone CPUs in Arcade Mode now have a chance to be wearing the Disguised costume
Training Mode	Change	The "Low/Mid/Overhead/Unblockable" pop-up icons that appear when Show Damage Data is enabled will now appear on projectiles as well. Their graphic has also been updated
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the Low/Mid/Overhead/Unblockable icons would spawn out of view if an attack was landed too close to the corner
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, on the Training Mode character select, the training dummy could be selected using Player 2 menu controls
Training Mode	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where a training dummy set to Crouch would stop crouching after the player used an attack
Combo Trials	Change	"Grab" combo steps now tell you how to perform a grab
Combo Trials	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where reversals could be performed while a text box was on-screen
Mission Mode	Change	If the Boss Mode extra is enabled, boss characters can now be selected for Missions and minigames that allow you to select any character. Note that this abides by unlock conditions, so you will need to have a given boss character unlocked to play as them
Minigames	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the centerpoints of the barrels and washing machines in the Destruction minigame were slightly offset, leading to situations where your character wouldn't always turn to face the object
Minigames	Fix	Added a ceiling to the Nightmare House minigame to prevent players from being able to get on top of the walls
Minigames	Fix	Extended the hitbox of the Shadow monster upward so it's impossible to jump over it
Boss Fights	Addition	Added a proper description for a certain star-themed boss. Also updated the descriptions for all other bosses
Boss Fights	Change	Updated the layout of the Boss Fights menu

Clyde Brightstar

Jumping Light

Nerf

No longer hits overhead. (Turns out this move was a braindead-easy instant overhead. Gotta keep our future big-bodies safe!)

Annie Dasteel

Hover	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the hover animation would break when hovering after a Long Jump
HSC Function 174-A (Neutral Super) HSC Function 203-A (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where projectiles from Annie's Supers could be reflected by characters with reflectors (namely Sylvan and Doodle)

Sir Rattlebone

Lifeguard Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Lifeguard Rattlebone's "sword" didn't move correctly in his bonus idle animation
Lifeguard Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Lifeguard Rattlebone's "sword" visibly clipped into his hand in his victory animation

Shoto Kanji

Thunder Eclipse (Neutral Super)	Change	If Shoto uses this Super in the corner, he is now moved slightly out of the corner. This is to prevent an issue where the projectile could spawn out of bounds and be unable to hit the opponent
Omega Lightning Upper (Down Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the lightning column effect sometimes wouldn't disappear after a Blast Burst

Cole "Red" Maxwell

Breaker Barrage (Neutral Special)

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where the first hit of the Super would not connect against OTG opponents

Sylvan Blackjack

Boss Version	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where, during Boss Sylvan's slot machine rain attack, it was possible to Burst in the middle of the stage and hit the hidden Sylvan before he reappeared
Dash	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where you could perform an air dash in Wagering Mode by storing the inputs (such as by performing an instant air dash)
Full House Mode	Change	If both players are Sylvan and are both in Full House mode, projectiles will now only get teleported between them once each before the projectile vanishes completely
Security!! (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Withers (the skeleton bodyguard) could block Super attacks

Callowman

Miscellaneous	Addition	Added the follow-up for Callow Rocket to Callowman's move list
Callowtron Costume	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the losing player would still be visible on Callowtron's victory screen if the match was won by timeout

Doodle

Miscellaneous	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Doodle would not work with Big Heads mode
Taunt (Stryker costume)	Bug Fix	Fixed a slight animation error in the Stryker costume's taunt
Note:		We're still very unsure how to address the issue in which Doodle can remain standing or walking while storing a down charge by holding Taunt. It would be a very easy fix, but some have expressed that they don't want the bug to be fixed. At the same time though, the bug very much goes against Doodle's intended balance philosophy, so we aren't comfortable with keeping it in its current state forever. For now we have left it untouched, but we will continue to try to think of a way to address the issue that we are happy with.

ERROR CS1501

Invalid Action (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where hitting an opponent with only the final hit of Invalid Action could cause both players to be pushed a significant distance across the stage
Invalid Action (Neutral Special)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where the final hit of Invalid Action could cause Destruction Minigame objects to quickly snap to ERROR's position. This could be used to push both ERROR and the object out of bounds

Bosses

Shooting Star - Misc	Change	Corrected a mistake where Shooting Star's grab was listed on his move list, which caused some players to assume it was a unique command normal
Shooting Star - Starry Night (Super)	Bug Fix	Fixed an issue where Shooting Star's Super projectile would not vanish if it exploded before reaching the ground
Zorb - Wrath Beam (Neutral Special)	Nerf	Slightly increased startup time Slightly reduced hitstun Removed wall bounce property (Zorb isn't meant to be that hard of a boss so these changes should help make it a bit more fun)
Tiny Evil Clyde - Misc.	Change	Changed alt colours 04 and 08
