Iron Giant

Iron Giant has many changes to knockback angles, dodge boosted attack windows on hit, and adjustments to "Rage" mode in this patch. The focus is to create new combo routes that have a finisher, without allowing longer extensions that guarantee offstage carries. The Rage mode changes will also address the dominance a team gained during this timeframe and level the playing field.

LeBron

Lebron without Basketball was too difficult to find success with, leading matches to focus on a more passive gameplay or trying to keep the basketball as often as possible. We have improved many attacks involving the No Basketball stance so Lebron will feel more fun to play without basketball. Also with the introduction to the grounded tech system, we have added more ways for Lebron to ground bounce opponents for combo starters.

We have improved Marvin's overall combo game, and made him easier for a newer player to pick up and try. This includes a return to his Neutral Special (Button) being an active part of his kit as a combo starter.

Marvin was also experiencing moments where projectiles would not hit an opponent after dodging it at any time, we are looking into a fix for this in an upcoming patch. Neutral special has been adjusted to address part of this issue in this patch.

Reindog

Reindog is a character who is meant to have success as a teammate, but was lacking enough utility to bring to a team compared to others. In our last patch we improved on Reindog's combo game by returning Side Air Attack to a ground bounce combo starter leading to improvements in the 1v1s space, and this patch we are addressing the 2v2s space.

Tom & Jerry

A majority of Tom & Jerry's focus revolved around using Up Attack as the all or nothing attack option due to its reward for hitting, and also Tom & Jerry's lack of other safe approach tools outside of zoning. This led to gameplay in which passive play was the primary choice until you could find a hit with the Up Attack.

With this patch we have adjusted the Up Attack to prevent loops into itself, and resetting with jab. We have also improved their gameplay to allow more unique exploration of the kit with new combo routes.
