Rising Thunder technical alpha update issues fixes and adds variants
Radiant Entertainment did not take long to offer the first update for Rising Thunder's technical alpha, offering a good amount of fixes and some new variant moves to check out.
The Rising Thunder technical alpha kicked off last week and the team at Radiant Entertainment has already issued its first patch. On top of fixing some major issues and some netcode troubles, the new update has also added a few new items.
Those items come in the form of a pair of new special move variants. Edge will get a new Binary Flux, in which he can deploy a double projectile that powers up his S2 special. Meanwhile, Chel gets the new Stinging Wind move, which is advancing attack that starts up quickly with a quick recovery.
The full patch notes can be found below, couresty of the Rising Thunder forums:
Bug Fixes

- Computers with slow load times should no longer display an odd camera angle and "Waiting..." message when loading is complete.
- Improved performance during normal gameplay and rollbacks.
- Change Character and Change Loadout buttons are now disabled while searching for a match.
- Fixed desync with multiple hit volume overlaps.
- Fixed issue where some moves were not properly dizzying opponents.
- Fixed combo counter malfunction that sometimes permanently maxed out the juggle limit.

- Standardized block pushback caused by normal sweep attacks:
