General
Implemented improvements to rollback netcode handlers. This should reflected as a more stable online experience
Added the option to play versus another player in Training Mode when two controllers are connected.
A new option was added to have CPU vs CPU in local matches
For those who are speed running Arcade Mode, we added a timer to the HUD in Arcade Mode. Also loading times are no longer included in the final time
Character Selection no longer resets when entering the Rules menu.
A timer was added to the Online Modes for the character and stage selection, when the timer runs out, a random character and stage are selected starting the battle after it.
Stage collisions have been improved to prevent phasing.
UI now properly adapts to different screen aspect ratios.
Minor UI Tweaks
Balance
Universal
General
Grounded normals now clang with grounded normals, always
Grounded normals now rebound against grounded strongs, always
Grounded strongs now beat out grounded normals, always
Aerial normals now never collide with other hitboxes, excluding projectiles
Aerial strongs now never collide with other hitboxes, excluding projectiles and RPS win/loss interactions
RPS loss length increased to 30 plus half your current percent for duration (frames)
RPS loss takes hitstun from winning strong attack
RPS loss takes damage from winning strong attack
Initiating a dashdance now puts the character into a brief turnaround stance for a frame and keeps the character in place for slightly longer before initiating the next dash
Initiating a dash from a state that isn't explicitly set up as tweenable (ie: dashdancing) will activate a fallback where the move tweens from the start of a character's idle animation; this drastically reduces the janky/snappy visual effect dashdancing can have
Color overlays for standard and good blocks altered to be more opaque
Fixed bug where a move sending down and slightly to the left wouldn’t DI properly if holding horizontal-left
Fixed bug where color overlays while blocking persisted a few extra frames than the endlag represented
