JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Patch Notes/Ver. 2.30

Official Patch Notes: https://media-center.bandainamcoent.eu/games/jojo/patch-notes/JJASBR-patch-note2-3.pdf

Italics denote undocumented changes.

General Changes

• The amount of Assault Assist Stocks carried by Support Attacks now determines the cooldown time of their Assault Assist.
• Assault Assists will now autocorrect towards the opponent upon landing on the stage and performing their attack.
• Adjusted the transition from hitstun to a neutral state so that characters can perform any action instead of being locked into Guard or Stylish Evade.
• Adjusted the hurtboxes during a vertical launch state for most characters.
• Adjusted the Hard Knockdown effect caused by hitting airborne opponents with an attack that causes the Crumple effect so that the juggle state caused cannot be overwritten by attacks without hit effects.
• Upon attempting to use a Stylish Guard during the final recovery frame of all grounded attacks (which only allows characters to Guard or use a Stylish Evade), a Stylish Evade will now be performed.
• Adjusted the transition into a jump state so that all characters' legs do not have hurtboxes from frame 2 onwards.
• All Counter-based abilities, when successfully activated, will now apply damage scaling to combos starting from them, reducing damage dealt by subsequent attacks to an initial threshold of 80%.
• Fixed a bug that would cause a character to be rendered with a black model for a brief moment if they successfully activated a Counter-based ability with an aerial attack that hits behind the opponent.
• Implemented the following changes to the Mounted Style:
  • Adjusted the transition from Dismounted Mode to Mounted Mode (and viceversa) so that Reversal Assists, as well as attacks that cause the Launch effect, properly prevent the character from going into an airborne recovery state.
  • Quick Mount's hitbox no longer manifests if the character is hit before the Super Armor takes effect. In addition, the character will remain in Mounted Mode if they are attacked after the Super Armor runs out.
  • When hit by grounded moves that cause the Hard Knockdown effect but not the Launch effect (such as most sweeps), characters in Mounted Mode will be forced to Dismount, being left in an airborne state.
  • Characters in Mounted Mode can now be affected by Command Throws of any kind. In addition, being hit by a Normal Throw will trigger an automatic Throw Escape and force the character to Dismount, leaving them in an airborne state.
