Punch Planet - Version 0.7.1.A - GAT

Version 0.7.1 is now released, Gat joins the fight!

Read the full detail changelog here.

INFO

Little is known about the origins of Gat, but it's believed he has appeared throughout history to reap from times of chaos. He has returned once more and as the new custodian of Punch Planet.

There is much debate as to whether he is truly immortal or using some form of space wizardry to keep himself alive.

Stages

Added Crystal Desert Stage

Music

Added Gat and Crystal Desert Stage.

When selecting stage music, can now choose music from other stages.

Performance Optimizations

Made substantial optimizations to systems that manage many instances of objects, greatly improving how these objects are cached and used. Collision Box, Projectile, Sound, and Game Effect systems should all have a much smaller per-frame performance footprint, which should improve both normal performance and roll-back performance.

Priority Trades

Added priority trade logic to the game. When two attacks collide at the same time, instead of always trading (both hits are applied), the strength of both attacks will be taken into consideration. If one attack has a higher attack strength value (Light -> Medium / Projectile -> Heavy -> Special), that move will win the trade and their attack will land as a counter-hit.

Hit Stop

Lowered hit stop across the board, should speed up the game flow quite a bit.

• Light: Remains 6/10

• AdjustedMediumDecreased from 8/12 to 7/11
• AdjustedHeavyDecreased from 10/14 to 8/12
• AdjustedSpecialDecreased from 12/16 to 10/14
• AdjustedJTCDecreased from 12/16 to 10/14
• AdjustedThrowIncreased from 10 to 12

Input

Some adjustments to leniency to make links a little easier and cancels a little more strict (still easy). Also a slight adjust to make DP input slightly more strict.

Leniency

• AdjustedHitCancel_NormalDecreased from 8 to 6
• AdjustedHitCancel_SuperDecreased from 20 to 6
• AdjustedLink_NormalIncreased from 3 to 4
• AdjustedLink_SpecialIncreased from 3 to 8
• AdjustedStunIncreased from 3 to 4
• AdjustedWakeupIncreased from 3 to 4
• AdjustedDashIncreased from 4 to 6

Sequences

• AdjustedDP_ForwardDecreased buffer frames after last direction input from 8 to 6

Push Back

Some slight adjusts to make push back happen a bit faster

• Increased push back scale from 2.75 to 3.0 (moves more each frame)

• Decreased push calculation frames from 16 to 14 (happens over less frames)

Positioning

Increased maximum distance between characters from 23 to 24, this will allow characters to be farther apart than before.

Character Hit Shake

Re-enabled and adjusted the character shake that happens when hit collisions occur. Should look better than it did previously and provide some more umfph to attacks, also now applies to the attacker when an attack is parried.

ATC

Special moves that are cancelled out of a successful parry will now orient towards the opponent, should help when parrying moves that are hitting right as they cross up.

Also slightly adjusted the freeze / animation ratio when parrying hits, should animate slightly more than before (no functional change).

JTC

Quite a few buffs that should help the effectiveness of JTC.

Decreased juggle x-velocity and corner push back, should allow for more followups to land based on positioning.

Improved dash version by increasing distance travelled and cancel window by 2 frames.

Collision Boxes

For all body types, extended empty airborne hurt box bottom down from 4.0 to 3.75. Should make it slightly easier to hit airborne opponents before they've pressed an attack.

For Dog body type, slightly extended the width of his standing and crouching hurt boxes by 0.15. Should make him slightly easier to hit on the ground.

Walks

Slightly adjusted how the walk ramp works, increased ramp frames from 4 to 10 and adjusted range from [0.25, 1.0] to [0.5, 1.0]. This means it will ramp over more frames total, but it will start at a faster speed (longer ramp from 50% -> 100%, instead of a shorter ramp from 25% -> 100%).

Throws

Increased throw tech frames from 7 to 6, a little harder to tech.

Decreased recovery frames on whiff from 23 to 21, a little harder to punish on whiff.

Throw breaks now use the push back system for breaking the two characters apart. This will standardize how throw break movement is applied to all characters, instead of relying on their throw break animation. Also, this allows throw breaks that happen in the corner to apply extra push back and maintain the same break distance regardless of stage position.

Also improved leniency coming out of a throw break to use Special leniency instead of Normal.

Supers

Adjusted camera zoom for all Super activations, should look cooler.

Damage

Standardized damage systems and removed Global / Character scaling functionality and adjusted new values accordingly. Damage is now strictly calculated by BaseDamage * ComboScaling.

Meter

Standardized meter gain on use for all special moves to 100 (some were at 150). Also standardized meter use frame for all EX / Super moves from frame 1 to 2 to avoid extra usage when kara-cancelling.

Sweeps

Sweeps have had their block stun reduced across the board and are slightly worse when cancelling into DTC.

EX Reversals

Extended hit box bottom on all reversals so that they are not so easily low-profiled, they should hit more often against low opponents.
