The fully detailed Patch Notes is available [url=https://bnent.eu/JOJOPatchNotes16][b]HERE[/b][/url].

[*] Changed counterstrikes to not occur while taking damage from attacks that do not cause rebound. → Improves usability in neutral.[/list][u]Damage received during attacks that do not cause recoil while in Resolve Mode.[/u] [list][*] Allowed damage taken during rebound protection to receive damage reduction. [*] Changed counterstrikes to not occur while taking damage from attacks that do not cause rebound. → Improves usability in neutral.[/list][u]Recoil caused by leg sweep attacks[/u] [list][*] Shortened animation lead-in and sped up transition to downed state. → This was changed due to certain attacks that allow additional attacks on downed opponents to fail due to recoil invincibility.[/list][u]The pivot line when characters swap positions in the air.[/u] [list][*] Resolved inconsistencies between characters' positional pivot lines and the center of their collision detection. → Under certain circumstances, when jumping attacks hit the opponent in the back, they were less likely to fall frontward. *This prevents confusion from guard direction working opposite to what is expected.[/list][u]Collision detection (determines when characters push against each other)[/u] [list][*] Removed Stand collision detection during standing and crouching recoil animations. → Under certain circumstances, when jumping attacks hit the opponent in the back, they were less likely to fall frontward. *This prevents confusion from guard direction working opposite to what is expected.[/list][u]Crouching recoil animation[/u] [list][*] Fixed a rare issue where being hit during the Stylish Guard's recovery would cause the crouching recoil animation to trigger. → Ensures that recoil animations are appropriate to the situation.[/list] [h3][i]Character Specific Changes[/i][/h3] [h3][b]Jonathan Joestar[/b][/h3] [list][*] Dash Forward [*] "Sendo Overdrive" skill [*] "Overdrive Barrage" skill[/list][h3][b]Dio Brando[/b][/h3] [list][*] Dash Forward [*] Crouching strong normal attack [*] "Useless, useless, useless, useless!" skill [*] "I'll suck you dry!" skill [*] "That must be five or six ribs broken!" skill[/list][h3][b]Robert E.
