Gameplay Systems

Anti-Infinite System: We've lowered the same attack limit from 4 to 3. Using the same attack 3 times in the same hitstun combo will now decay the attack and all subsequent attacks in the combo. The goal is to put a global soft-cap on infinite combos and make combos more creative (rather than the same attacks over and over). We hope the change pushes players to explore new and more exciting combo routes instead of the same few attacks looped together. We will be paying careful attention to this system and as always we appreciate your feedback!
Dodge Meter System: We've increased the time it takes to regain ticks of the dodge meter. This is to promote more deliberate action and management of the dodge meter. The goal is to increase the importance of the dodge meter and thereby increase the importance of perks affecting the dodge meter as well.

Character Updates

Arya

Bug Fix - Fixed an issue where dashing to the knife on Arya traveling at a downward angle would continue to throw her at speed downwards often causing her death.
Bug Fix - Fixed an issue where Face Steal could cause desyncing and frame rate drops
Ground/Air Up Special - Enemies have 70% KBI instead of 100%.
- This is a stopgap measure before a larger change comes in. The fix is still in testing and since we won't have full confidence in our solution until more testing is done, we have to push it into the next patch. The goal is to make Up Special more consistent and skill based where the opponent has control over the outcome and follow ups from Arya require a read.
Ground/Air Side Special - Dash to Knife when attached to enemy hits more consistently when traveling long distances.
Air Up Attack - First hit should drop out of the combo less
General - Set passive dodge meter return to 7s from 6s.

Batman

Side Air Attack - Sair 1 increased by 5 frames before Batman is allowed to cancel out of the move due to landing.
- This should make intended whiff (miss) lag consistent in air or landing.
Side Air 2 - Improved reliability of Sair 2 to hit in online play.
General - Set dodge meter return to 7s from 6s.

Finn

General - Set dodge meter return to 7s from 6s.

Air/Ground Down Attack (While In Up Special) - Piano attack while attached now takes longer to perform and has increased recovery.
Up Special - Damage taken while being attached now decreases additional attach time.
Neutral Special - Sing buff on enemies now starts to decay after 7 seconds from 5 and has a slower decay speed.
