Update 0.261103.1 – Balance Changes and Bug Fixes

Touhou Smash · published · build 26398693

Thank you for all the reviews and discussion posts since launch. This update focuses on the character balance issues and bugs you pointed out most.

This version cannot play online with older versions. Please make sure everyone you play with has updated to the latest version.

General

  • Consecutive dodges now lose less invincibility. It used to drop 100% → 60% → 30% → 0% with each dodge; it now drops 100% → 75% → 50% → 25%.
  • Lost dodge invincibility now recovers one step every 1 second (was 1.5 seconds).

Alice

  • Bomb Doll (Down + Heavy): Damage 16 → 14. Knockback reduced; at 100% it launches about 22% less far.
  • Shanghai Doll's Magic Bullet (Neutral Heavy): Knockback growth reduced, so it pushes high-percent opponents less.

Cirno

  • Icicles (Neutral Heavy): You can now fire again from frame 24 (was frame 20).
  • Icicle damage 2.6 → 2.2. Knockback growth reduced.

Marisa

  • Star Bullets (Neutral Heavy): Damage 2 → 2.5. Knockback growth increased.
  • Magic Missile (Side + Heavy): Damage 1 → 2. Knockback growth increased.
  • Master Spark (Down + Heavy): The weak version can now be released after 30 frames of charging (was 45).
  • Weak Master Spark: Damage 8 → 10, and it launches farther.
  • Fully charged Master Spark: The final hit now launches much farther. At 100%, its knockback is more than double what it was.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed projectiles passing through the ground and walls. Projectiles that don't bounce now disappear when they hit the ground or a wall, so they can no longer hit characters recovering from below the stage. Platforms you can drop through still let projectiles pass.
  • Fixed being able to dodge out between the 1st and 2nd hits of the 3-hit Light Attack combo. Hits 1 and 2 now stun longer, so the hit reaction is clearly visible.
  • Fixed the selection disappearing after changing a key binding or a setting value with a controller, which left you unable to keep navigating with the controller.
  • Fixed the mouse cursor and menu selection flickering while using the mouse with a controller connected.
