Pre-Ranked Balance Patch We are unfortunately a little behind schedule (Not just because of prepping for our recent showing at East Coast Throwdown, but our lead dev came down with the flu).

We still need a little bit longer to get Ranked Mode up and ready, but as soon as we have additional details to share we will let you know! Patchnotes ❖ System Changes ❖ Introduced a new Pseudo-Hitstun and Pseudo-Blockstun mechanic. Acts similarly to normal stun states but doesn't interrupt your current action, and locks you out of performing actions. This was introduced to address an oversight in Krav Maga's Hit-Counters weren't interacting properly On Blocked. ❖ Balance Changes ❖ Shotokan Karate Crouch: Re-Crouching now properly plays the correct Hurt Reaction.
