fixedModified Test FeaturesThis week brings a few more experiments on Dash and Dodge. We're trying a 4 frame startup on directional Dodge to force choices between the safety of movement and the safety of faster invulnerability. Naturally, this will need a rework of string routes throughout the game for its effects to be fully intentional, but we're throwing it in as a rough test. Expect a few unintended interactions that would be addressed before hitting ranked. We've heard feedback asking for more control on the momentum of grounded Spot Dodge. Players can now increase friction to stop its movement sooner. Another frustration point in feedback is the reduced strength of approach options with the removal of Speed Dodge. We believe that keeping both players vulnerable will lead to a healthier meta. As more defensive abuse cases shift to attacking first, they'll be easier to address with standard power balance. To make Dash approaches a little stronger, we've increased Dash and Dash Run movement, and made the startup for a Dash Jump effectively the same as a normal Dash.

Modified Test Features

This week brings a few more experiments on Dash and Dodge. We're trying a 4 frame startup on directional Dodge to force choices between the safety of movement and the safety of faster invulnerability. Naturally, this will need a rework of string routes throughout the game for its effects to be fully intentional, but we're throwing it in as a rough test.

To make Dash approaches a little stronger, we've increased Dash and Dash Run movement, and made the startup for a Dash Jump effectively the same as a normal Dash.

Dodge

  • Directional dodges changed from 2 startup / 12 active / 2 recover to 4 startup / 12 active / 0 recover. Speed dodges changed from 2 startup / 19 active / 0 recover to 4 startup / 17 active / 0 recover.

  • While performing a grounded Spot Dodge, holding away from the direction of movement will increase friction.

  • Lowered the window for getting a directional Dodge when leaving stun from 5 frames to 2.

Dash

  • Increased the movement speed of Dash and Dash Run.

  • Removed jump startup when performing a Dash Jump to give it the same startup as a normal Dash. This is not applied when landing into a Dash.

  • Fixed a bug that allowed Dash Run backwards out of a Chase Dodge.

Animation

  • Added animated Rocket Lance support to Scarlet’s Side and Neutral Rocket Lance signature charges.

  • Several Dash animation tweaks while holding all weapons.

  • Fixed some Dash transitions that were playing the
