(11/20 PSN!) SG: Slightly Different Edition patch notes...

Raging Ghost

Any plans on the post-Slightly Different edition era?

Mr. X

These patch notes are so thorough.

THE COMMUNITY LIKES THESE! YOU HEAR ME DEVELOPERS WHO HIDE THE CHANGES!

Some guy here noted multiple times that this could possibly screw up poison damage (opponent is poisoned and at 15%, Val hits her lvl3, if she skips = Opponent is at 5% and poison doesn't damage since he is below 10%; if she doesn't skip = Opponent gets wittled down to 10% from the poison during the cinematic and then dies) -- is this (only Valentine can skip, not the opponent which was afaik different before) an attempt to fix it, or is there some added option which you just didn't note (eg "Poison damage will be accumulated and damage before the final hit, even when the cinematic is skipped")?

The same guy mentioned:

A bit late on this since it's been a week since ECT but I've been busy like hell. I managed to test this in the new version to see if skipping the cutscene would make valentine's level 3 end before her lp poison(purple). The poison will run it's full course(and then some) even if you skip the cutscene.

These notes were very thorough. I like that Peacock is getting more chip damage and her lvl1 items otging properly, but her recovery on her teleport has increased and it already seemed punishable enough to me.
Everything else is cool.

I wonder, what is the thought behind the teleport change? If you start up faster, that should allow you to cut it closer and get your opponent to whiff easier - but if you add frames to the recovery, that kind of cancels it out, doesn't it?

Add right-stick assist calls: move the right-stick up for Assist 1, move down for Assist 2. More pad-player help. Can be disabled from Button Config screen.

Thanks for actually putting that in, solves all the issues I had playing on pad. <3 you guys

I'm not going to pretend I know what's what with the balance changes, I don't play this game at a competitive level, but all of the system/online/training mode changes sound great. It's nice having a fighting game developer that really cares about it's players for once. I hope this project is/was successful enough for you guys to keep adding content and keep taking my $.

Was really hoping for these changes:

- all attacks are now fugazi
- fugazi has been buffed.

Wow, the amount of content on this patch list is stellar. I would not mind buying any SG related dlc whether they are cosmetics or not :D

The amazing thing about this patch is that the team really took the common complaints, thought about them, and gave us solutions. Good shit to the SG's team.

so I assume it goes without saying that the US version, playing against the EU version, no longer crashes the game. As I did not see a mention of this bug.

Yeah, that will be fixed, and I'll get it added to the list.

Awesome list Mike. Good to see a game like SG getting much love. As soon as the PSN matchmaking is fixed I'm back in the fray!

Actually I just want something like that so I can throw money at RL. Feels like thievery. I guess buying the game a 2nd time once its out on PC is a start.

I don't understand. Can you please clarify this?

- Hitboxes displaying when switching characters is replaced by temporarily displaying 8-bit versions of the art, which is much less disruptive to gameplay.

Is this literally 8-bit (1 octet's worth) art or did you mean to say pixelated?


All things considered, great job. Nothing like a nice changelog to brighten one's day. The changelog alone is amazing fanservice. Thank you everyone who worked on this. I don't know how to show my gratitude other than posting about it on the Internet. :/

Mike_Z

Added EU/US crash to list of 'online improvements'. WTF, how did that get left out, it was the REASON for the patch... (o_O)

With these character changes, I was really crossing my fingers to see cereballa's ultimate showstopper get nerfed. [snip] Just think for a Level 1 blockbuster its does too much damage but guess that's the baby in me when i face grappling characters lol.

All throws only do red-life damage, so the entirety of that damage is able to be healed by tagging out if you're on a team. If you're not on a team, jump. :^P

@Vulpes, uh, lemme see. Might be too late to do anything, otherwise I probably can.

Pause the game and you can look at everyone's command normal/special/super motions. Also available from main menu options. I sincerely hope you were kidding, though.

I meant to say 8-bit, because that's become synonymous with "retro" whereas "pixelated" has become synonymous with "crappy looking". And if you want to get super nerdy, all of the palettized art in the entire game is stored as octets, with 3 completely separate images per frame. So it's all technically 8-bit. (^.^)

Well, you can buy DLC colors? Those should be released the week after the patch hits!

I agree with Vulpes, I want them to release something I can spend some money on. Lol.

I don't want to rush RL with the DLC characters but I can't wait for them to drop.
If they do release some paid DLC colors, I shall buy them ALL for Cerebella. :D

I wasn't. I re-read it and I think I got tripped up because it says "add" instead of "added" which reads more like a to-do list than a changlog. Also, I dudn't notice the bolding.

Yup, I'll post them all when the patch is out and we actually have a confirmed release date for them.

I think the colors are pretty reasonably priced, too? There will be 4 colors for each character, bundled together for $1.

Can you please clarify on this? Does the $1 cover 4 new colors(32 total) for the whole cast? or does the $1 give 4 colors to each specific character? like you would pay $8($1 per character) total for all 32 colors? Im guessing you meaning the latter realistically? Regardless I'll buy all the dlc colors :D I just want to be clear on how its gonna happen

Yeah, sorry.

Each character will have a pack, containing four colors. And that pack will cost $1.

Ok, I'm fine with that. Each person can get more colors for their main for a dollar or be like me and buy them all for $8 ;D

That is a steal.

Question: is their a form of discount(or a choice to download everything at once so its not 1 at a time) of buying them all at once in a bundle (something similar on what AE and Marvel 3 did) or is the price set and it just all adds up and you buy 1 at a time? I'm fine with the price, but this question is not really aimed at the colors completely, but how dlc procedures will take place

XthAtGAm3RGuYX

Wait a minute here. You mean to tell me I get 3 colors from the update for free, then four more at a price that won't make me second guess my decision? You guys should write a book about keeping your fan base happy then send a few copies to capcom.

I guess Vladivostok counts as Continental Asia? o_O
Can anybody help me on that?

Fruitsations

- IPS now counts stand and crouch moves as the “same thing”. Command normals count as the same also, so s.F+HK = cr.HK = s.HK and j.B+LK = j.LK.
- IPS now counts all strengths of a given special move as the “same thing”, meaning anything with the same motion but a different strength P or K. This was already true for most characters, so now it is true for everyone. Considering how rare un-chained special moves are, this should not affect very much except specific known instances.

No! the barrel loop will be gone if im thinking correctly. Poor double :(

On another note: Im so excited for these!

EDIT: Maybe not maybe just slightly harder to do :D

Mike_Z

Yeah, I think Russia is Continental Asia. :^P

And yes, the basic barrel loop is going to be limited to one LP rep, one LK rep, and one OTG MK rep...but remember that the same thing is true of EVERY character. :^)

Kunaki

Seeing how there's no mention of adding online lobbies, will that be something for later? Just checking.

I think it was mentioned on streams that replays and lobbies was an undertaking that would take too much time for this patch unfortunately

Any possibility on Peacock's teleport setting her closer to the opponent on recovery? Right now, if you left/right teleport off of cannon ball or throw -> L George and don't cross-up, she appears further away from the opponent then if you did the cross-up, changing what you can follow up with (you lose double poke in some cases, iirc).

I think it was mentioned before that Post-patch peacock has her teleports end closer to the opponent

It is pretty amazing that we're getting all of this just in a patch. It just shows that the game is really more still being developed and we just happen to get to play it.

Will be interesting once the new characters start rolling in.
