Future Patch Plans
The update planned for late April (Ver 1.30) will be a total balance adjustment.
The plan is to focus on the following before making various other changes:
-
Reassessing every character’s close normal frame advantage
-
Reassessing the frame at which projectiles are guaranteed to come out
-
Preventing 22X inputs from coming out unintentionally
