Repeated intro

Hey guys we're happy to announce our newest fighter the Duck! He's a goofy little guy but don't let your guard down around him he's got a strong move set and will be the first character to have a repeated phrase combo move. I honestly think he's really fun to play so I'm excited to see what you guys think of him.

addedOn a sadder note the lobby/netcode bugs have defeated me this week. Unfortunately despite my best efforts there are still several bugs mostly with the public lobby browser and high ping. Smack talk is actually my first multiplayer player game so I appreciate how patient everyone has been. I'll continue to try my best to fix the issues but in the meantime I've added a ping counter to the lobby browser in general I'd recommend avoiding high ping games. As always let me know if you run into any new issues and thanks for all your support.
