[h1][b][u]New Online Lobby system![/u][/b][/h1] We've reworked the online matchmaking and lobby systems! Online play is now separated into Ranked Matchmaking and Online Lobbies to make it easier to find the kind of fight you're looking for! With this new system, 4-player FFA, Team Matches and Party Mode are now all available to play in public lobbies! [list][*]Create your own public or private lobbies for FFA, Team Matches or Party Mode! [*]Up to 8 players can join the same lobby, anyone not playing will be able spectate while waiting for their turn! [*]Need one more for your 4-player match? You can now add CPU fighters to online matches![/*][/list] [img]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/940593610681750422/A5059D77BECD8A0BC1DC688DEF232BBCEA9AD213/[/img] [h1]Built-in voice chat[/h1] [list][*]Want to chat while playing? Online lobbies now feature built-in voice chat! [list][*]Someone getting a bit [i]too[/i] chatty? You can mute them from the lobby menu, or turn voice chat off completely in the game's settings menu.[/list][/list] [img]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/940593610681727264/A6B801DD450251AD6620604BAC5E15DC611330E9/[/img] [h1][u][b]Gameplay Tweaks[/b][/u][/h1] [h1]Greatly improved AI [/h1] With some new single-player content on the way, we've taken another look at the AI. CPU opponents are now a bit better at recovering from off-stage, evaluating the tricky platforms, and maybe even defeating you. [h1]Teching tweaks[/h1] The window for teching has been increased from 8 to 11 frames, and the lockout penalty for missing a tech has been decreased from 48 frames to 30. You can now also tech 2 frames after touching the ground. [h1]Adjusted Knockback Formula[/h1] All characters behave the same when knocked back, but with the new formula we avoided cases where it would take a lot of effort (over 250% damage) to knock out heavy characters, like Acolyte. Now, over 150% damage, most characters start flying offstage around the same way. [h1]Improved Spot Dodge Timing[/h1] Spotdodges now have a bit more endlag to make spamming it a much less viable option for defense.
