Added to Test Features

By lowering jump height, we're hoping to keep players in range of each other more often when using vertical spacing. The changes may be on the subtle side, but we've targeted a threshold that only requires a handful of map reworks so it’s able to transition to Ranked sooner. Jump and Fall Changes

  • Jump Height decreased from 414 to 362.

  • Jump duration decreased from 66 to 60.

  • Max Fall Speed increased from 60 to 70.

  • Max Fastfall Speed increased from 70 to 85.

A number of dodge changes are being tested internally, and more should be coming to Test Features before long. First up are tests for reducing the availability of grounded dodges when not used as a chase dodge approach. Dodge Cooldown Changes

  • Increased Dodge Cooldown for a grounded Slow Dodge from 60 frames to 90 frames.

  • Landing no longer fully reduces Aerial Dodge Cooldown to a grounded value. Dodge Cooldown will now only be reduced to 80, or 120 for a Slow Dodge, up from 50.

Performance

  • Improved memory usage and performance in the UI System.

  • Improved client performance in the event of a controller disconnect.

  • Improved performance of input handling system

Community Request

  • Increased priority of dodge when pressing two inputs on the same frame to make gravity cancel and upwards chase dodges easier. (Credit Eramm, Diakou)

Animation

  • Improved performance on the following animations: Axe, Gauntlet, Scythe, Bow, Katar, Character Select, Taunts, and when holding a gadget.

  • Improved the Sidekicks' idle animation to be less wobbly and more lifelike.

  • Brought in Scythe's wall jump animations closer to the center of the hurtbox.

  • Brought in the head on the launch hit react animation in Scythe to be closer to the body.

  • Brought Katar wall jump animation closer to the center of the hurtbox

  • Added missing effects on the back layer of Scythe's speed and chase dodge animations

  • Added some in between frames to the animation of
