Official Patch Notes: https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/jojos-bizarre-adventure-all-star-battle-r-patch-v2-2-0

Italics denote undocumented changes.

General Changes

• Adjusted transitions into knockdowns so that if an opponent is in hitstun while airborne, hitting them right before they touch the floor will no longer force them into a knockdown state.
• Fixed a bug that would cause both characters to slide apart while they were in direct contact with each other.
• Fixed a bug that, under certain circumstances, would cause certain attacks that inflict the Hard Knockdown effect to allow the victim to perform a Down Evade.
• Fixed a bug on the Nintendo Switch version of the game that would allow non-projectile Assault Assists to interact with downed opponents during a Cinematic Taunt.
• Fixed a visual bug that would make it seem as if an Assault Assist whose Assault Assist Stocks had run out was put into cooldown, which would happen if an Attack button and the Assist button were pressed at the same time the point character jumped.
