Hello everyone! After about 2 and a half weeks, the balance-beta is over! We made a LOT of changes and adjustments. Many of the characters got new movement options, buffed moves, opportunities for counterplay in certain matchups, and more. If you've been playing with friends on the main branch, you might be surprised at the new tools your favorite character has. Be sure to check them out when you get the chance! But first: the game also now has an [i]official Korean translation[/i], thanks to one [b]A1NVERSE[/b]! He's been a member of the M&S community from the beginning, and was kind enough to make an official translation for the game. Without further ado, here's all the changes that came out of the Beta! There's so many, you might just have to try the game out yourself to get the full experience.
