Build #373 Notes (04/29/2015)

Combat Update Patch!

We've been really focused on getting feedback from all of you after each game, and we've rolled a ton of that feedback into our latest combat patch. We've started to slow the pace of combat down a bit - let us know how it feels! Gigashark and Robokomododon are getting more animation smoothing, tails are operating more smoothly - lots of small & medium changes!

We're also in the process of increasing knockdown distances - to create more interesting interactions between knockdown, Charge, Build_Up, and ground attacks.

Please note - many of the animation changes have NOT have the associated sound work finished just yet. Audio will tend to trail by one patch.

Engineering Fixes:

• Robokomododon's Fall & Prone anims are now properly oriented.

• Removed extra Defense Cell from Komododon.

• Fixed bug which caused Getup Attacks to break defense cells!

• Fixed bug which caused weapons to give infinite vertical KB.

• Robokomododon's Power+Toward attack is no longer flagged as a weapon.

Gameplay Fixes:

• Normalized damage resistances for all characters.

• Hop links to other actions cleaned up & timed better.

• Implemented Charge_hit anims on charge impact.

• Gigashark has new build_up and fire anims.

• Robokomododon has new build_up and fire anims.

• 8-way steps speeded up for all characters.

• Roll speeds normalized & slightly reduced.

• Hop speeds adjusted for all characters.

• Komododon's attacks reviewed for increased knockdown.

• Gigashark has new roar animation.

• Gigashark's Chain + Down and Chain + Toward now connect properly with both hits.
