----VERSION 0.2.2 RELEASED----

Intros and new Defensive mechanic & More - patch notes below


This update adds intros before fights and a new defensive mechanic called Shadowbreak, to use it press the Assist button while blocking, this will cause the opponent to go into knockdown if they are close enough to you, this uses a full Assist bar.


-General-

  • Versus Intros - Intros will be played during versus with the dialogues changing depending on the selected characters.

  • Added Shadowbreak - press U on keyboard or Left Bumper on controller to use and knockback the opponent on block, this costs assist gauge.

  • Redesign for Tobi Dark - he was the first character and his style felt outdated to the rest now so I updated it to match better.

  • Added character shadows.

  • Added new song Snooze5.

  • Change time over - when health is different the player with more health wins, there is also an animation on the timer now when its under 10 seconds.

  • Improved camera - the camera is zoomed in now to show the action clearer and will follow on a vertical axis, it is also not possible to leave out of its borders anymore when both players go opposite directions.

  • Minor UI visual updates.

  • Minor bug fixes.

-Training-

  • Added state of character in framedata view - this will show the current state the character is in.

-Misc-

  • Rewrote a lot of player code into a state machine - this should fix a lot of weird bugs during fights.


Please let me know if there's any issues you encounter or any feedback to the current patch, especially since I re-wrote a lot of the player code.
