Version 1.3 Patch
In addition to the trailer, Bandai Namco uploaded a large number of patch notes for Version 1.3 of the game, set to release later today at 6PM PDT (9PM EDT) on Steam and 9PM PDT (12AM EDT) on consoles.
The patch includes several improvements and balance updates, with 33 characters getting changes. Here are some of the major changes:
- The amount of damage when attacking a downed opponent has been reduced.
- Traps now disappear when they are dodged with Stylish Guard (previously they would remain in effect, such as Old Joseph’s coal tar)
- Dodge activation times have been standardized for all characters
- Fixed a bug with revival skills that caused inability to progress
- Pet Shop’s voice has been lowered to match the other characters
- Narancia’s health was decreased and Aerosmith’s attacks now have combo scaling; attack damage has also been reduced
- Decreased the number of Diavolo’s available Reversal Assists
- In North America, if “Region: Same Region Only” is set, they will no longer match with any other region
- Player matches no longer check the battle score for matchmaking, to fix an error where players with a difference of 100,000 scores could not play against each other
