Other System Mechanics

Other System Mechanics
  • Psych Burst BUFF

    • Startup of the attack is no longer affected by slowdown effects. Bug fix
  • Faultless Defense BUFF
    • Added a Faultless Defense button FD.
      • Faultless Defense can be performed by holding any backward direction 741 and Faultless Defense FD at the same time.
      • This input is not a shortcut for any other inputs, this means it can not be used to trigger any action besides Faultless Defense.
    • Tension Gauge cost when an attack connects during Faultless Defense reduced by 50%Tension Cost by attack level:
      Attack Level 0: 5% → 2.5%
      Attack Level 1: 6% → 3%
      Attack Level 2: 7% → 3.5%

    • This type has been universally applied to 5P, 5K, 2P, 2K, j.P, and j.K attacks.
  • Input Priority ADJUSTED
    • When buffering multiple normals simultaneously with the same attack button, normals with a 2X 2 or 6X 6 input are now priortized over 5X 5 and j.X inputs (e.g. 2K is now prioritised over 5K)
  • Aerial Direction ADJUSTED
    • A character's facing direction now switches to face the opponent when delaying cancels from air normals (e.g. j.S).

1.18 Bugs and Issues

 Faust

  • BananaGGST Faust Banana Peel.pngGuardNone, AllStartup51 to LandRecoveryAdvantage- Peel
    • Faust will not get hit by a banana peel if the opponent rolls over it during knockdown recovery.

 May

  • Mr. Dolphin (Vertical) (All Versions) ([2]8SGGST May Mr. Dolphin Vertical.pngGuardAll→HighStartup6Recovery7 (21 OH)Advantage0 (Airborne) & [2]8HGGST May Mr. Dolphin Vertical.pngGuardAll→HighStartup11Recovery8 (19 OH)Advantage+6 (Airborne))
    • During a super flash from an opponent's Overdrive or Roman Cancel, if May is currently in the accelerating part of her animation and the input is held down, she will continue to gain horizontal speed indefinitely until the super flash ends. This can result in extreme horizontal speeds far beyond what is normally possible in the game.

 Zato-1

  • "That's a lot!" (236K)GGST Zato-1 That's a lot.pngGuardAllStartup27→42→57→72 [31→46→61→76]RecoveryTotal 74Advantage+55
