<UPDATE> Beta v2 is live!


FINALLY, after over a year and a half the new beta is here and is downloadable RIGHT NOW!! Hopefully it was worth the wait and hopefully it will not take as long to finish updates in the future.


NEW CONTENT

Characters

- John Egbert

- Jade Harley (Very early WIP, only has a few moves)

Stages

- Harley Grand Foyer

- Skaia Battlefield


GENERAL CHANGES

- Tag mode has been removed (Note: It was buggy and I'm not really designing the game to work around a tag system, so I think its best to remove it for now to avoid potential problems)

- A fancy new logo and game icon

- Thanks to an update to the Ikemen GO engine, various new features are available in this build:

                - Pause menu

                - In-game command list

                - Proper training mode, with various training tools

- Revamped Strider Rooftop and Lalonde Manor stages


GAMEPLAY CHANGES

- Movement sound effects have been added for all characters (footsteps, jumping, dash)

- Various changes to velocity of air attacks to go alongside the Air Dash

- Max health standard has been lowered from 15500 to 10000 to prevent dragged out matches (this can also be adjusted under "Gameplay Settings" in the options menu)

- The direction in which healthbars drain has been swapped

- Character AI has been adjusted. May not be perfect but will not be as brutal on all difficulty settings anymore.
