Made adjustments to improve online match stability and reduce unexpected disruptions during gameplay.

Implemented an icon to indicate slowdown during online matches on the player or opponent side.

Fixed an issue causing desynchronization issues to occur sometimes while spectating online matches.

Fixed an issue causing the game to become unresponsive when attempting to spectate in the Open Lobby or Room Matches under certain conditions.

Fixed an issue causing the match results to differ from the actual match during replay playback in rare instances.

Fixed an issue causing unintended controls to be possible during playback.

Expanded the search range when selecting “Nearby Regions” under the Region Settings.

It remains possible to avoid matching with players with incompatible network connections by using the “Connection Speed” option.

This adjustment will make it easier to find matches, especially if you have set the “Connection Speed” restrictions low.

When selecting “All” under the Region Settings, “Connection Speed” restrictions no longer apply.

This adjustment skips unnecessary checks regarding connection strength, providing the fast matchmaking expected of the “All” region option.

If you prefer to prioritize matchmaking with strong network connections, please set the “Connection Speed” restriction with your Region Settings adjusted to either “Same Area Only” or “Nearby Regions.”

When this patch is applied, the Platform Settings will be reset to the default setting, “All.”

As the performance of the PC version has been improved, this reset intends to provide a better matchmaking environment.

If you prefer to match with only the same platform, please choose the “Same Platform Only” option from the Matching Settings.

Added an item to the Matching Settings providing the choice to limit your matchmaking only to players who meet the performance standards from the benchmark test.

Revised the rating fluctuation calculations for the Master rank.

Adjusted the conditions to move from Vibranium to Master.

We had set the conditions to rank up from Vibranium to Master to be highly challenging, but this resulted in fewer players reaching Master rank than anticipated. This led to longer wait times for matches as well as matches between players with a large difference in rating within the Master rank.

To provide the intended, smooth matchmaking experience for more players, we have changed the conditions as follows.

Rank Up Conditions Before Change: 4 wins out of 5 matches

Rank Up Conditions After Change: 3 wins out of 5 matches

Our goal with this change is to achieve the intended number of players active in Master rank, making it easier to find opponents and match with players closer to your level.

Set a limit on the difference in rating between players in Master Ranked Matches.

To preserve the concept of matching with players close to your current level, we have set a limit to prevent players from matching with others of a rating greatly above or below their own.

This adjustment aims to provide fair matchmaking by avoiding matches with an extreme gap in player ability.

We expect the impact on matchmaking speed for all players to be very minimal.

Fixed an issue where even when the rank-up challenge was failed, the rank-up matches would not end and the remaining matches would play out.

Fixed an issue causing rating fluctuation to occur when rematching a Vibranium player directly after the rank-up match to go from Vibranium to Master rank.

A pop-up will now be displayed to indicate the Room Code when creating a room after setting a Room Code.

After selecting Disband Room or Exit Room, you will now transition to the Battle Menu.

Added “Assist Cooldown” item to the Gauge Settings within the Training Menu.

Added “Playback Method” item for the Recreate Battle State feature within the Training Menu.

Wolverine Fixed an issue where one use of Eviscerate (214+Attack) would be counted multiple times during the Action Check.

Fixed an issue where one use of Eviscerate (214+Attack) would be counted multiple times during the Action Check.

Star-Lord Fixed an issue in Level Up Mission 5 where the grounded version would count as the aerial version of Ravager Rush (214+Attack mid-air).

Corrected Action Check Skill 4 to no longer count the action when performed with a different input than the button shown.

Loki Fixed an issue in Level Up Mission 5 where the M version would count as the H version of Serpent Spike (623+Attack).

Fixed an issue in Level Up Mission 5 where the M version would count as the H version of Serpent Spike (623+Attack).

Adjusted the cooldown time when calling any version Assist until it can be used again.

Assemble Assist Shooter (→＋A), Assembe Assist Vertical (↓＋A), Assemble Assist Assault (←＋A), Assemble Assist Aerial (aerial directional input＋A), Assemble Rush (N+A during combo)

Super Assemble: 300F (A during Super Skill)

Member Switch during round start sequence: 1F

Removed cooldown during the round start sequence.

Other Assemble actions remain unchanged at 10F.

When each Assist enters cooldown and cannot be used, the character icon at the top of the screen changes, clearly showing the state and remaining duration.

Adjusted the cooldown time after attacking while an ally Assist is out.

Slightly increased duration of reduced cooldown recovery after attacking the opponent and putting them into hitstun during an ally Assist action.

As a result of the above change, it now takes time before the character can be summoned as an Assist again if a Member Switch is performed with the character on-screen.

Upon successful Assist input, inputting another direction at the beginning of the action no longer changes the Assist that appears.

In the current version, it was possible to overwrite to another direction within 3 frames after the A input, but we have removed this as it often resulted in unintended behavior.

We have increased the regain rate of the Assemble Gauge to maintain the same rate in practice as the current version, given the newly extended Assist cooldown duration.

During knockback and blocking: 25→30 (every 1 frame)

Fixed an issue resulting in less Skill Gauge value gained when used for the first time in a combo under certain conditions.

The Assemble Gauge no longer recovers until the action ends.

This adjustment is in line with the increased recovery speed of the Assemble Gauge.

Fixed an issue causing the “Reversal!” system message not to appear even when the conditions are met.

Fixed an issue causing the weapons of certain characters not to be displayed during Assemble Smash at times.

The blowback when the ally follow-up hits the opponent’s Assist upon successful counter has been adjusted to be the same as when it hits their leader character.

Adjusted so that the Assist cooldown pauses during the sequence, so it can no longer become possible to perform Crossover Reflect partway through the sequence.

Fixed an issue that made it possible to activate the Assist without expending Assemble Gauge when input directly after the input window for Crossover Reflect ends under certain conditions.

Corrected the resulting behavior when a Member Switch and Crossover trigger simultaneously.

Fixed an issue where the slowdown effect from Green Goblin’s Sticky Bomb would result in less backwards distance covered when performing Crossover.

Increased the Skill Gauge gain from a successful Crossover Reflect from 10→20.

Increased the Skill Gauge gain from a successful Perfect Reflect from 12→40.

Once sent flying, the opponent will no longer get caught on anything but the leader character.

This change is to fix issues caused when the opponent character would not be hit at times if caught between the player and a summoned Assist.

Decreased Assist cooldown, speeding up the timing before Assists can be used again for the player who successfully performed the Perfect Reflect when putting the opponent in the Disassembled state.

This affects all Assists with cooldown effective.

Changed so that it is no longer possible to perform a Member Switch with the on-screen ally character after blocking an attack while any version of Assemble Assist is active.

This now behaves the same way as when taking damage. This makes it no longer possible to take advantage of the fast startup of Member Switch and place an Assist on the opposite side of the opponent, then perform a Member Switch while under attack. This put the opponent on the offensive at a disadvantage, which was not an intended situation.

Adjusted the effect when the leader character changes to differ between P1 and P2.

Fixed an issue causing the Assemble Gauge to increase during the effect.

Extended the input buffer window for dash when using directional inputs, making it similarly easy to perform as Quick Dash.

Added input buffer to make the move easier to perform, improving the responsiveness of the controls.

Fixed an issue causing the input buffer window afterwards to become shorter sometimes when performed with L+M.

The start of Jumping H can now be overwritten to Jumping →＋H when performed without any attacks in between, making it easier to perform Jumping →＋H.

Adjusted to make it easier to perform Skills when canceling Crouching H late during a combo.

Adjusted the input window to only succeed after being grabbed by the opponent.

Fixed an issue causing brief throw invincibility when performing a jump mid-air.

Fixed an issue causing landing recovery to trigger the next time a jump is performed after a stage transition at times.

Fixed an issue causing the character icon not to be displayed properly when performing Crossover or Member Switch under certain conditions.

Assemble Assist Assault (←＋A) Fixed an issue resulting in incorrect movement values when the attack is performed in certain positions.
