▣ BUG FIX

▣ BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

New Character: Leiter (Free Update)

· New Playable Character – Leiter (Available after the maintenance)

· New Emblem and Portrait – Leiter

BUG FIX

· Fixed the issue where Great Mazinger would incorrectly execute 46C (Drill Pressure Punch) instead of the intended 46BC (Double Drill Punch) when canceling from 5C

· Fixed the issue where Qing Long would unintentionally execute 46C (Twin Dragon Break) instead of 46BC (Thunder Dragon Break) immediately after a forward charge

· Fixed the extra rounds (e.g., 4th or 5th round appearing) caused by high latency (>330ms) between both parties after the match concludes in an online match

· Fixed the error screen that occurs when Qing Long's 2424D (Crescent Ambush) hits the opponent

· Fixed the inconsistency in inputs caused by Nero's Spiritland when the latter hits an opponent from the opposite side

· Fixed the desynchronization that might occur in high-latency matches when Nero activates Simulacrum/ GTW Fighters

· Fixed the shorter buffer for landing attacks immediately after Mesphito performs a forward jump compared to other characters

BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

General

· Energy Reversal

Standardized the first-frame hurtbox across all characters to reduce the chance of failed Energy Reversal attempts when cornered with back to the corner

Kaguya (General)

· Stinger

Slightly expands the hitbox vertically downward

Shin Getter Robo (Shin Getter Change)

· Open Getter

The damage taken when reverting to the base form after being hit by a Super Art or Awakening Super Art is now a fixed value

· (Medium) Getter Wing

Now invincible to air attacks

Great Mazinger (General)

· Energy Reversal

Increases the effective distance to align with the animation

Nero (General)

· Ultra-Spin Flyblade

Now allows whiff cancel into other moves upon landing, even if the attack misses the opponent

Nero (Simulacrum)

· Simulacrum

Now can be pushed by the opponent during recovery frames

Can now charge the move by holding the input; summons the opponent's Simulacrum at a fixed position to attack with Energy Reversal

Now Nero can recover faster when the summoned Simulacrum unit deals Light/ Medium normal attacks

· (Light) Path of Thorns

When canceling on hit or block into Thorn Throne, the skill now triggers at the opponent's feet instead of Nero's position
