Introduction

Players can now rejoice as move list corrections have been implemented, ensuring accuracy and precision in combat. Additionally, improvements to AI logic have been made, making opponents even more challenging and unpredictable. But that's not all!

For those looking to fine-tune their skills, the Practice and Replay options have been enhanced. The setting BUTTON LOG now offers a FULL option, displaying Right Stick inputs for better understanding and execution. The Breakaway Tutorial has also been updated to include a lesson on Armor Break attacks, allowing players to master this powerful technique. Furthermore, Right Stick inputs will no longer interfere with most Kombo Attacks and special move 2in1 cancels, streamlining gameplay and reducing frustration. Several issues have also been addressed in this patch. Character props will no longer appear in the victory cutscene after defeating Kronika, and victim damage sounds will no longer persist after a Quitality. Practice Mode has received various improvements, including new options to adjust timing in the Breakaway feature and fixes for Kustom Getup/Reversal Playback. Additionally, Practice Mode now properly displays inputs in the button log and works seamlessly with Fatal Blows. In the realm of online play, minor stability improvements have been implemented, ensuring a smoother experience for players. Rare online desync causes have also been fixed, reducing disruptions during matches.
