Dive into the details below: ### General Gameplay Adjustments: - Improved matchmaking system to ensure more balanced online battles. - Fixed an issue where certain characters would become invincible after performing specific combos. - Adjusted hitboxes for aerial attacks to improve consistency across all characters. ### Character Balance Updates: **Blaze Warden** - Increased the recovery time for Flame Spiral attack by 0.2 seconds. - Reduced damage of Cinder Barrage by 5%. **Mystic Nora** - Mystic Bolts now consume less mana. - Cooldown of Ethereal Dash has been reduced by 1 second. **Titan Fist** - Hammer Slam's knockback distance has been decreased. - Power Punch now has a 0.1-second longer execution time. **Zephyr** - Adjusted the wind-up time for Gale Force Kick to make it slightly faster. - Winged Flight ability now grants less invincibility frames. ### Critical Character Update: **Exodus** - Update: Dead We understand that this comes as a shock, but after many discussions around balance and the future direction of Fighting Fury X, we've made the difficult decision to retire the character Exodus from active play. This has been a tough call, but due to unforeseen issues correlated with Exodus's unique mechanics and their impact on game balance, we find this necessary. We're exploring ways to honor Exodus and thank players for their understanding and support. ### Additional Fixes and Improvements: - Resolved an issue where the game would occasionally crash on certain stages. - Optimized game performance across all platforms to reduce lag and improve frame rates. - Enhanced AI behavior to provide a more challenging and realistic fight in single-player modes.
