| Game update | [Bug Fix] Fixed unintended hitbox interactions in Apple's and Dana's movesets Apple's 5K 2K string (Bachata -> Ragtime) had an issue where the hitbox of 2K would disappear prematurely, thus preventing the move from hitting at all and making his moveset tutorial impossible to clear. This has been fixed. · Dana's 2P 2K 2P string had more frame advantage than actually shown, allowing for a 2P link that wasn't intended. 2P 2K 2P is now +5 on hit as advertised by the frame vi… | — | |

| In-game event | An extra arcade mode (longer and without Chaingear) + minor balance changes This patch includes some minor balance changes and introduces a new, optional arcade mode: Gauntlet. The Gauntlet Gauntlet is a 10-opponent ladder ending against Cannon Fodder, the mad gunhead of Slumslum City, instead of the renowned Stratosphere Chaingear.

| In-game event | Chaingear UX adjustments + a couple of bug fixes After gathering some feedback (and, again, needing to fix some minor bugs), I adjusted the UX of the chaingear fight a little to make it clearer how the boss works. It was never my intention to obfuscate information, but turns out the iconography I've used to convey the message was everything except clear for some players. A cleaner UI for the Grab Shield bar I've redesigned the Grab Shield bar… | 20547772 | |
