1.6 Patch Notes
Known Issues
- An issue with Magna Defender’s wall bounce OTG state, causing him to receive an incorrect hit reaction from certain OTG attacks. To be fixed in a future patch.
- Certain projectile limitations can be bypassed with specific inputs. To be fixed in a future patch.
- Soft Lock can occur when Jason performs a grab against Quantum. We are working on a hotfix for this.
- When swapping assist continuously while both players are in their respective corners, both opponents can appear out of the field of view. This will be fixed in a future patch.
Bug Fixes
- Throws are no longer breakable if the victim is being thrown during an attack, stagger, or crumple state.
- Megazord attacks summoned while enemy is KO’d now correctly position themselves correctly.
- Block damage KO’s on most Special, EX, and Super attacks fixed (all block damage should be able to KO).
- Assists no longer count toward the hit reaction limiter. E.g., launching an assist no longer counts toward the 2 max launcher limit.
- Assists no longer apply pushback while they’re being hit in the corner. I.e., “Happy Birthdays” (two-for-one sales) and “Merry Christmases” (comboing the entire enemy team) near the corner should no longer cause massive push back against the attacker.
- Fixed various button input issues: holding attack buttons while tapping directions should no longer trigger Special and unique attacks. Tapping back + light + medium on the same frame now executes a back dash instead of a forward dash.
- Fixed an issue with throws not properly interacting with armor moves. I.e., throw hitboxes will always grab armored attacks like Dragon Armor Trini’s standing heavy and Magna Defender’s back medium attack (if timed properly, of course).
- Beam projectiles are no longer reflectable. Dragon Armor Trini’s neutral Special can no longer be reflected by Shadow Ranger’s forward Special parry attack, for instance.
- Most normal attack sound effects no longer linger when played on the first frame of their attack, reducing the amount of phantom sounds (when plink dashing, for example).
System-Wide
- All characters now have non-Super attacks with OTG properties, opening up even more combo routes. I.e., specific attacks for each character can now pick up enemies off of the ground after certain hard knockdowns.
