Gameplay updates explained

• Dashdancing was a highly requested feature that almost made it into the initial release, but the tradeoff of dash attacks made it too overbearing & the time constraints put the feature on the backburner. Now that there’s a dedicated cooldown period for dash attacking out of dashdance specifically, the feature is ready to run

• Projectiles bouncing indefinitely was a consequence of those specific projectiles not having proper despawn functionality period, so fixing that issue consequently makes them not bounce forever. Like Mikey’s down special jump exploit, this is something we’d love to make a feature in the future

• The DI change will mean that combo trees will have much more variety now, as the opponent being comboed now has more control over where they’re launched after a hit. Because this change has pretty significant ramifications on balance inherently, we've opted to hold off on making many balance adjustments beyond it for this patch

• The Aang down special buff is emblematic of the design philosophy of not wanting to strictly and explicitly nerf a character. Our aim is to avoid patches where a character receives only nerfs that isn’t tied to some general bugfix

• The Mikey nair adjustments make the move now function as a nair should, instead of the slow-mo auto-combo fodder it was previously. The hitstun scaling will make the move less egregiously combo potent at lower percents, but still have the potential to confirm into kills at high percents. Adding hitstun scaling to the majority of moves in the game is on our to-do list

• The knockback changes to Lucy/R&S/Danny make those specific moves no longer kill at ridiculously low percent, but the buffed scaling ensures kill potential at higher percent
