Gameplay Improvements
After the feedback received from players who filled out the survey for the Early Access Demo, Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 have made adjustments to certain features.
Frequency of Taunt and Effect while Opponent is Down
- Changed the frequency of Taunt to once per match (Opponent’s HH gauge can be reduced only once per match).
- When the Taunt is activated, the reduction of the opponent HH gauge is changed from 0.1 gauge to 1 gauge.
Frequency of Assist Attack
- Changed Assault Assists (attack) and Reversal Assists (defense) to be separate. They have individual uses with a certain number of uses per round.
Add new function for Practice Mode
- Planning to add a function to record opponent’s movements and make it able to retry specific character positions.
