Small hotfix with fixes for Game of Tricks, several animation issues, and a significant performance improvement to the short grass.
Game of Tricks
- Migrated the Game of Tricks map materials that were still using unmigrated shaders and appearing pink.
- Fixed an issue where bots couldn't copy certain combos, for example when using Front Half Punch into some tricks.
- Fixed bots being unable to perform split landings, which made them too easy to defeat.
- Fixed the Game of Tricks restart behavior.
Animations and Tricks
- Fixed the transition between Gainer Switches being too short. Depending on the framerate, it was possible to fall after a Gainer Switch even when the input was performed correctly and with the right timing.
- Fixed broken animation bounds and transition timing for the right-side Aerial.
- Fixed the Round Kick sometimes being triggered instead of Cheat Kicks or other twisting kicks.
Performance and Visuals
- Significantly optimized the short grass shader, improving performance by around 10–30 FPS while on grass, depending on the configuration.
- Improved the way short grass fades into the distance for a smoother transition.
- Updated the water packages.
Miscellaneous
- Updated the game's release notes to better reflect the current state of the studio and development.
