Hey all, Phase 2 has officially begun, and the first update is a doozy. I introduce to you the totally chaotic, probably completely unbalanced and unfair 2v2 to the match maker.

Phase 2 has officially begun, and the first update is a doozy. I introduce to you the totally chaotic, probably completely unbalanced and unfair 2v2 to the match maker. Play with any combination of human and AI players in teams of two.
To accommodate this mode I had to completely change how a whole boat load of inputs and variables are captured, but I think it's been totally worth it. Even just playing with CPUs I've had a great time.
Speaking of which, you might have noticed the last few updates the AI was a bit broken (as in barely functioned). This patch makes it a lot more reasonable again thankfully as well as a few of the usual tweaks and fixes. Full patch notes below!
Peace & Love,
Paris
