[h3][i]General Changes[/i][/h3]
[u]Backstepping[/u]
[list][*] Standardized the hurtbox area around feet.
→ Eliminates differences in ability to avoid certain deployed projectiles (e.g. Ghiaccio's "Any form of attack stops cold when it hits my ultracold temperatures!" skill) by stepping backwards. *The purpose of this is to remove imbalances in different characters' ability to escape deployed projectiles while getting up from being downed.[/list][u]Direction of counter HHA flying[/u]
[list][*] Adjusted the force that sends opponents flying to the direction the initiating character is facing.
→ Under certain situations, when performing a successful counter, the target would go flying in the opposite direction from that suggested by the attack animation.[/list][u]Guardbreak[/u]
[list][*] Added damage reduction to combos that start out of guardbreak.
→ Reduces the reward for performing a guardbreak while maintaining the ability to pursue that guardbreak.[/list][u]Damage received during skills that don't cause the victim to recoil e.g. Jonathan Joestar's "Tackle" special[/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]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]
