Hello! Reduced Fighter's Defense from 55% damage reduction to 50%Dev
AffectedPC · PS5 · Xbox · Switch 2
Main focusGameplay changes and fixes
- We're still seeing that fighters are difficult to take down in a 1v1 Gun vs Fighter combat situation. This change will give players using guns a bit more damage when encountering a charging fighter. Reduced the max number of Ult charges for Ryu, Chun-Li and Dhalsim from 3 to 2Dev
- We've been seeing situations where fighters are able to cast multiple Ultimate abilities in a row to completely decimate enemy teams without reasonable time for those teams to respond. Enabled passive Fight Gauge regen when not in Fighter Form and below 1 pip of Fight GaugeDev
- We've observed potential droughts of Fight Gauge Tokens mid-match as K.
