Kirby Battle Blitz/Patch Notes/2.4

2.4.2

General

1. Hard Infinite protection now triggers properly if a helper hits the opponent.
2. The Queen's Street camera change from last patch no longer applies to KBB Beginnings.
3. Fixed an issue where using the same super within the last five moves (Stale Moves) caused proration to be set to 60%.
4. Fixed an issue where wallsplat state would teleport characters to the other side of the stage if not facing the right direction.
5. Removed High/Low Unblockable protection for now.
6. Characters are now invincible to everything but throws during grab tech window time.
7. All counters no longer make the opponent block if the player is not attacking.
8. All projectiles no longer make the opponent go into pre-block state early.

Stages

1. Shifted around the foreground grass's layer in Hunter Hillsides.

Aege

1. 2B's Startup has been adjusted. (10 -> 14)

Bill

1. Fixed a bug where Bill could use 236B with only 500 meter when it requires 1000.
2. Fixed a bug where cancelling into 5C from multiple moves didn't check that Bill had 200 power.
3. Fixed a bug where cancelling into j.2C from multiple moves didn't check that Bill had 200 power.
4. Fixed a bug where 5C could hit even if you had max juggle.
5. Fixed a bug where 236A's explosions didn't connect if you have max juggle.
6. Pyromaniac explosions now stop making contact with your opponent once you hit 200 proration.
7. Pyromaniac explosions now apply double proration if your juggle is capped.
8. Cancelling j.5a into j.2c now requires that the player hold down and press C (Before you just had to press C).

• These explosions come from a special move, so they should connect even if your juggle is capped.

Fly

1. Fixed an issue where some moves didn't check for how much juggle Fly has remaining.
2. Fly's 214C is now paused if fly is tagged out.

• This includes his passive metergain and lifedrain.

Jay

1. Fixed an issue where using the no-heat variant of 2C whlist having heat caused 2C to whiff.
2. Jay's 5A and 5AA are now techable.

Jodie

1. j.6C is no longer frame 1 if done out of an airdash.
2. 6C is no longer frame 1 if done out of a run.
3. Swapping Stances while the announcer starts the round will no longer give Jodie control earlier than allowed.
4. Jodie's 236C and j.236C no longer have invul unless the grab has succesfully connected.
5. Sword Jodie's j.5B now has triple the hitpause on a fatal counterhit.
6. j.5C no longer has invincibility if not done from 5C.
7. Removed all invuln from 5BB.

9. Unarmed 6C->2C now does 133% of the original damage of Sword j.5C. (vs 200% from before, 78 -> 52)

Leon

1. Fixed an issue where the third uppercut for Leon's 214A would cause Leon to fly forever if whiffed.
2. Shock Cracker (236A.236A) can no longer cancel into Star Breaker (214B) unless the instant variant is performed.
3. Adjusted recovery of 4A. (10 -> 13)
4. Adjusted blockpause of 4A. (4,4 -> 4,1)

Vivienne

1. Fixed an issue where dash cancelling (Using starburst) out of Vivienne j.6c low to the ground placed the character into dash state rather than airdash.
2. Removed the ability to cancel standard throw into 6C
3. Fixed a bug where Vivienne could lose the ability to attack after 5Y.
4. Fixed an issue where Vivienne's 5BB could be teched immediately after landing vivi 5AA.

• This cancel didn't really make much sense as throw launched the opponent upwards, making it unable to combo properly anyway

2.4.1

-WIP-

System Changes

• Fixed a bug where supers that were meant to not be able to be tagged out from were capable of doing so.

• Added an indicator that reveals the position of the character if a character is offscreen.

• Fixed an issue where a helper that is in an attack state while the main character has successfully landed an attack caused a spam of "Counter Hit" messages at the side.

• Added Additional Training Mode Options.

• "Enemy Mode" sets the dummy's life. Same options to choose from as the "Player Life" options.
• "Restart Match" restarts the match without reloading the characters and stage.
• "Reload Match" reloads all of the characters, stages, and HUD gauge, then starts the match.

• All Star Strikes' superflash now have a 7-frame window to buffer an attack before the superflash ends.

• The "Reversed!" Text has been changed to only show when the character does a certain invincible super/counter on wakeup.

• Updated Credits.

• Engine Settings are now hidden by default.

• It's not recommended that these are adjusted at all, but if there's ever a need, just edit config.json instead.

• Wacky Settings are now hidden by default.

• This is because the 8v8 mode was removed long ago thanks to an engine update.

• Added Snapback.

• In tag mode, if Counter and Tag are pressed at the same time, and the character has at least one bar of meter, the character will now smack the opponent off the screen.
• This forces the opponent to use another character on their team.

• Added DHC.

• In tag mode, if an attack button (A/B/C) and Tag are pressed at the same time, during a Star Strike, the next character (tagged in based on input) will do a Star Strike of their own to add damage.

• Increased the amount of redlife players gain on being hit in tag mode to 50%.

• Fixed a bug where the game could softlock briefly if your opponent was KO'd while you were recovering from an air counter.

• Added a sound effect when a player performs an instant block.

• Added a proper continue screen.

• Before, it either didnt show any text or showed you how many continues are left. Additionally, you had to confirm with the Power Charge button.

• Updated the victory screen.

• Win Quotes are now smaller, and now fit more text.

• Adjusted Combo Counter and Side Action text placements.

• You can now can dash AND backdash cancel your attack, both on block and on hit, when StarBurst is active.

• Fixed an issue where doing a StarBurst dash cancel from a crouching move would send the character to the airdash state incorrectly instead.

• Added an effect for when the character reaches the juggle limit in a combo.

• Added an effect for when the character is starting to use a star strike.

• Power Delay, StarStrike (Counter), StarBurst, and Hurtstates have all been made common files, code wise.

• MODDERS - To use these new common files instead, add the new KBB_Playable constant to your character, then edit your .def files to disable loading the old files.

Stages

• Adjusted Camera Zoom and Vertical Pan and Stage Bounds for the following stages.

• New Animation
• Hunter Hillsides
• Mount SpriterZ
• Extreme Tag Terrain
• Egg Garden
• Drifter's Rooftop
• Puffball Park
• Queen's Street

• This change does not apply to the VS. Vivienne event.

• Squeak Squalls
• Distant Dimension
• Training Room
• SR Seige
• Catastrophe Colosseum

• Slightly decreased the wind's opacity in Rushing Railway and Hunter Hillsides.
• Adjusted Ground Heights of Crazy Forest Fight, Hunter Hillsides and Catastrophe Colosseum

Character Changes

Updated the template to use the new juggle state on all attacks.

v2.4

System Changes

• Added High/Low unblockable protection

• When you high/low block an attack, you cannot wrongblock the opposite attack for 1 frame

• This prevents situations where getting hit by a high attack and a low attack on the same frame is unblockable
• Note however that 1 frame is an incredibly small window so you will most likely have difficulty blocking these anyways

• Reduced the startup of star constellation from 20 frames to 10 frames. However it no longer refunds meter on hit.

• This change applies to red counter too.

• Added a stale moves system.

• The game now keeps track of the last 5 moves you did in a combo. If you repeat a move from this list of 5, the game will add juggle to your combo

• The amount added increases with the number of times used, starting at only 1 juggle but increasing exponentially
• Note that this will not apply if you cancel a move directly into itself, such as Aege or Saito j.5a j.5a.

• Repeating the same super move within the last 5 moves applies a huge 50 proration and 50 juggle penalty to your combo
• This penalty should be minor or unnoticable in a "Normal" combo but become very apparent if a player uses a loop, especially shorter ones.

• Adjusted the height that characters bounce when hitting the floor while in a downed state so that characters have less variance in their bounce heights.

• Some hurtboxes have been adjusted as well

• Added Leon. Finally! Congratulations, Taku!

• Made fixes to the Recover Direction and Liedown Time training option.

• Added Random Options for Recover Direction, Liedown Time and Grab Tech in Training Mode

• Removed Hiryobrine.

• Getting hit by Glitched State will now replace the meter bar with a time bar that counts down until it's over.
