Hello everyone!
After about 2 and a half weeks, the balance-beta is over!
We made a LOT of changes and adjustments. Many of the characters got new movement options, buffed moves, opportunities for counterplay in certain matchups, and more.
If you've been playing with friends on the main branch, you might be surprised at the new tools your favorite character has. Be sure to check them out when you get the chance!
But first: the game also now has an official Korean translation, thanks to one A1NVERSE! He's been a member of the M&S community from the beginning, and was kind enough to make an official translation for the game.
Without further ado, here's all the changes that came out of the Beta!
There's so many, you might just have to try the game out yourself to get the full experience.
- Added a Korean Translation for the game.
- Fixed issue where "ghosts" would be left behind in lobbies.
- Fixed issue where P2 getting hit would sometimes desync match spectators.
- Fixed issue where the Training menu could crash
- Fixed issue where the Training menu option text would bleed over the screen in Japanese
- Fixed issue where bullets would sometimes not be properly erased over netplay
- Fixed issue where the lobby chat would make the framerate dip when people typed in Asian languages
- Fixed issue where the framerate would drop in certain stages if not playing the game in English
- Fixed issue where Stormbeast's Doppelganger would aim the wrong way in netplay
