Open Beta Patch Notes Summary

Beta Rollout and Taz Tornado Nerf

• Addition of LeBron James
• Free Charater Rotation feature added
• Various nerfs and buffs, in particular featuring a knockback and duration nerf to Taz's Tornado

Overall, the main standout of the patch, aside from the new features included with the start of the Open Beta, is the heavy nerfs placed on Taz's Tornado. Although the developers claim that the Tornado should still be powerful as Taz's signature move, it remains to be seen if it will carry the same threat with reductions to its damage, knockback, and number of hits.

Character Buffs, Nerfs, and Fixes

Batman

• Air/Ground Neutral Attack: Cooldown on Batarang increased from 13s to 14s. Pick up of Batarang returns 11.55 second up from 11.05. This means that the minimum time between Batarang throws is 2.45s up from 1.95s. According to developers, this is intended to prevent Batarang spamming and allow more windows between throws.
• Bug Fix: Air/Ground Side Special: Fixed a bug where Grapple would sometimes shoot you off the map.

Bugs Bunny

• Air Up Attack: Startup window increased by 2 frames, active window decreased by 2 frames. This reduction of the hitbox is intended to give more leeway in dealing with the attack.

Iron Giant

• Bug Fix: Air Down Attack: can no longer combo into itself
• Bug Fix: Air/Ground Down Special: can no longer repeatedly hit and lock opponents in place forever
• Bug Fix: Air Up Attack: Can no longer repeatedly hit opponents

Steven Universe

• Air Neutral Attack: Knocks opponents up and away to prevent an infinite attack caused by alternating Air Down Attack and Air Neutral Attack.

Taz

• Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that was preventing Taz from doing any aerial attacks once he reached his air special limit.
• Air/Ground Side Special (Tornado): A decrease to the tornado's duration and the additional duration gained by passing an ally. Removing one of the multi-hits of the tornado. Decreasing the hit pause of all the hits in the tornado. Reduced knockback from the final hit in the tornado from 1375 to 1275.

Velma

• Weight: reduced from 70 to 63. This was an oversight on the part of the developers.
