Major Improvements

• CPU AI has been dramatically improved and a CPU Difficulty setting has been added to the Settings menu. 

  • CPU Difficulty affects Arcade, Story, and Versus (CPU) modes.

  • CPU AI now moves around and behaves more naturally.

• Lord Drakkon’s Throne Room (Story) and Command Center (Story) are now selectable stages.

Presentation Improvements

• Camera effects improved on Throws, EX Attacks, Swap Strikes, and Supers.

• Visual effect and dramatic super pause added to Super activations (i.e., “pre-flash pause”)

• Slight character shake effect added to character attacks (during hitpause).

• BGM Mode has been added to the Audio Settings menu, with options of Normal and Random (plays any stage BGM, regardless of stage selected).

Bug Fixes

• Inflicting a “Super pause” against an incoming character no longer causes erratic behavior. I.e., performing a Super after KO-ing a character no longer causes the next incoming character to ignore Super pause.
