This patch aims to increase game speed and pacing by increasing aerial mobility, increasing attack speed, and reducing knockback scaling on many attacks to make them more usable as setup tools for combos and knockouts. Shoutouts to the folks in the Discord who helped test these changes.
General Gameplay
- Significantly increased fast fall speeds.
- Increased max air speed and acceleration.
- Suits now gain more speed from dash attacking.
- Buffering an air dodge with no direction input will now cause you to wavedash down instead of airdodging in place.
UX/UI:
- Increased volume of "match found" sound effect.
- Escape now must be held for 2 seconds to exit fullscreen. This allows keyboard users to use esc as back button without accidentally exiting full screen.
- You can now bind 3 buttons/keys to a single input, up from 2.
- Keyboard users can now bind a key to use as a dedicated start button, as an alternative to the default keys.
