Overall patch summary

Maps

Scooby's Mansion (No Roof)

  • Increased blastbox size by 10%.
  • Ringouts were coming a bit too fast on the map so we increased the size by a bit.

  • Scoring a basket now awards points based on the distance thrown. Try for some difficult 3 pointers!
  • Basket scores will now be broadcasted on the BIG screen!

  • The Court's walls can no longer be attacked and will only break on a player wall bounce.

  • Any feedback would be appreciated as we continue to hone in a version of the map for queue!

Cosmetics

General and Perks

  • ! Bug
    • Fixed an issue that was causing jumps to be rejected by the server when attaching to a wall.
  • School Me Once...
    • Projectile block buff duration reduced to 1 second from 2 seconds
    • Stacked duration reduced to 2 seconds from 4 seconds
    • Block buff is no longer consumed by light projectile attacks
  • Ice to Beat You!
    • Stacks of Ice are now only applied by Heavy Projectiles

Character Updates

Legend:

  • - = Nerf
  • + = Buff
  • ~ = Change
  • ! = Bug
Arya Stark
  • - Signature Perk
    • Betrayal perk enrages allies/Arya but they will deal 3x weakened on hit down from 5x.
    • We were finding that weakened influenced the gameplay of Arya and their opponents too greatly at higher level play.

Batman

  • ! Glide
    • Hurtbox z-axis issue was causing attacks to unintendedly miss Batman, while he glided.
  • ! Grounded Down Attack
    • Delayed branching into dodge and jump on hit to prevent endless chaining back into itself.
  • ! Aerial Down Special
    • Removed the ability for this move to combo back into itself in order to prevent endless chaining.
  • - Signature Perk
    • Bouncerang Weakened stacks applied reduced to 3 from 5.
    • The power level this gave for very little effort made this perk feel unfair to opponents of Batman so we reduced it a little.
  • + Aerial Side Attack
    • Able to cancel into wall slide 5 frames earlier

Black Adam

  • ! General
    • Fixed issue where the electric tether hitbox would linger after the visuals faded.
  • - Grounded Side Attack
    • Much smaller hitboxes for all 3 jabs to better match the visuals.
  • - Grounded Neutral Attack
    • Removed hitbox on Black Adam's arms
  • + Grounded/Aerial Up Special
    • Liftoff triggers 3 frames earlier
  • + Grounded/Aerial Side Special
    • Increased the acceleration and hitstun of the projectile slightly.
  • + Grounded Up Attack
    • Added armor on startup

Bugs

  • + Aerial Neutral Attack
    • Branches into jump earlier
    • We wanted to reintroduce some combo paths back to Bugs Bunny, while avoiding his infinite loop. We hope this change does that.

Finn

  • - Weight
    • Reduced weight from 55 to 49
  • - Aerial Neutral Attack
    • Active hit frames start 2 frames later
  • ~ Armored Buns
    • Block buff is no longer consumed by light projectile attacks

Garnet

  • ! Bug
    • Fixed a bug that was causing her arm hurtboxes to stay on during attacks when they were not intended to.

Gizmo

  • - Grounded Up Attack
    • Added ammo to popcorn; 3 ammo returns 1 every 10 seconds
    • This was added to prevent a strategy that rewarded very passive gameplay in singles.
  • + Grounded/Aerial Neutral Attack
    • Arrow going through popcorn increased damage from 8 to 10, knockback scaling increased from 12 to 13, base knockback increased from 1250 to 1350.
  • ! Bug Fix
    • Fixed issues where the arrow would be destroyed when it shouldn't be.

Harley

  • + Weight
    • Weight increased to 48 from 44
  • ~Grounded/Aerial Neutral Special
    • Bat bomb hitbox now better accounts for z-axis and hits more reliably.
  • ~Grounded Side Attack
    • Jump and dodge cancel window for jab 1 and jab 2 now comes later.
  • ~Grounded Side Attack
    • Knockback angle on jab 2 pushed up more to prevent a looping infinite combo
  • ~ Grounded Side Attack
    • Can cancel to other attacks 1 frame earlier on hit.
    • We’re testing these changes to remove an infinite combo. We understand this removes some combo routes from Harley, but we felt it was unhealthy for the game and opponents facing it. We’ll continue to evaluate Harley’s power level after this change and welcome any-and-all feedback on these changes.

Jake

  • ~ Neutral Special
    • The wall bounce angle has been adjusted to be higher when spitting opponents into vertical walls
    • This was changed to prevent a skill-check Knockback-influence (KBI) that could instantly ringout players even at low damage.

LeBron

  • ! No-Basketball Down Special (No Basketball)
    • Defense now properly blocks (and steals!) other LeBron basketballs.

Morty

  • ! Gounded Neutral Attack
    • Jab 3 hitbox size reduced by 15% to better match and visually align with Hammer Morty's size.

Rick

  • ! Bug Fix
    • Fixed issue where portaling would kill Rick while in the grace area
  • ! Bug Fix
    • Fixed bug where Rick can use ground down attack while on cooldown
  • ! Neutral Attack
    • Addressed inconsistencies in projectile priority for uncharged laser

Shaggy

  • ! Aerial Side Attack
    • Allowing ground momentum movement even when charging the knee. This should allow movement to carry and not get halted for better feel.

Steven Universe

  • ! Bug Fix
    • Fixed issue where Steven or his allies would be hit twice while under the effect of Steven's neutral dodge shield
  • ! Grounded Down Special
    • Watermelon seed hurtbox shrunk to better match visuals.

Stripe

  • - Weight
    • Weight reduced to 46 from 52.
  • ! Bug Fix
    • Implemented fixes to Stripes teleporting with chainsaw.

Tom and Jerry

  • ~ Aerial Up Special
    • Kicked rocket explosion hitbox now better accounts for z-axis.
  • ~ Aerial Up Special
    • Kicked rocket without Jerry attached is now properly classified as a projectile.

Velma

  • ! Bug Fix
    • Fixed several issues where Velma's speech bubbles would be destroyed when they shouldn't be.
  • ~ Aerial/Grounded Neutral Special
    • Megaphone is now classified as a projectile. Early hits are Light projectile hits, Final hit counts as a Normal projectile hit.
    • Megaphone now applies projectile perks
    • Megaphone is more reliably blocked by other projectiles and projectile-blocking effects
    • Megaphone will ignore invulnerable fighters including those with a projectile sidestep buff
  • - Aeriel Up Attack
    • Has 2 less active frames at the start of the hit frame.
  • - Grounded Side Special
    • Added 12 seconds of cooldown
    • Velma's Side Special is commonly used as a quick “pitstop” tool that serves as a means to supply her allies with constant gray health and armor when engaging enemy teams. Providing Velma's Side Special with cooldown allows us to provide a gate so that Velma players aren't able to consistently “micro armor” their allies (and self). This adjustment to Velma's Side Special will ideally still allow Velma players and their allies to more mindfully strategize around this move.
