Patchnotes for v1.05, since that’s been officially out for a couple days. Under a read me because LONG.

10/23/2022

GENERAL

- Character select and options now have music, just testing it out.

- Default MUGEN menu noises swapped out.

- Finished reworks on Sinestro, Sandman, Donovan, Ice, Iron Man, Vulture, Zangief, Batman, Jubilee, Bane, and Nrvnqsr Chaos.

- Donovan now has in-game movelist set up.

- Zangief now has character select anims and an in-game movelist set up.

- Much like the couple of last patches, addition of new palettes for some characters. In this case, shoutouts to Phi-01 -- for also helping me by outright creating some of them as well as the ones I have added either from pre-existing sources -- or straight up have made from scratch myself.

- Universal health has been doubled from 1000 to 2000. This was gonna come eventually in some form, being in my head even -- since the initial rough draft, but as several players have shown, I think the time has more than come for this, and -- especially with tag matches now being best-of-1 instead best-of-3. I'll dial it back if it ends being /too/ beefy, -- but for now I'll just let it hang and see how that goes.

- Tweaked jump physics properties of the "MvC2-styled" characters to be more in line with the rest of the cast.

- Tweaked superjump heights/properties to be more consistent with the taller super-jumps of the "MvC2-styled" -- characters and also to just generally be less wildly different across the board.

- Fixed issue with most characters not auto-facing the opponent if immediately acting after landing.

- Univesal base hitstun amount for grounded lights on grounded opponents is now slightly higher.

- Standing heavies, while still affecting the hitstun decay rate for most grounded normals (Besides sweep and launcher) -- on hit, will no longer have their own hitstun affected by the decay rate on hit on grounded opponents.

- Super Pause effect for many supers has been tweaked to no longer make them near impossible to confirm into or -- otherwise suffer from being borderline useless in general.

- Addition of victory themes for Arcueid and Nrvnqsr Chaos.

- Much like other ScruffyDragon stages before it, track for the "Trans-Siberian Express" stage has been -- been changed for the time being to prevent any potential issues with streaming this game.

- Track for "Spooky London" (Stage for Gentleman Ghost) swapped out, now uses a similar "Round 1/Post Round 1" track swap -- to what "Gold Mine Assault" currently uses.

- Luke Cage now has a new stage in "Brooklyn Backstreets", his former stage, "Avengers Tower", has been removed for being -- a pile of garbage (Or in more professional terms, I thought it just looked overall bad, had a boring track, and overall -- just did not seem worth keeping in this, especially now that Luke has a replacement stage for it).

- Track for "Atlantian Waters" (Stage for Aquaman) yet again changed.

- Superman now has a new stage in "Metropolis Streets", his former stage, "Metropolis Rooftop" has been removed.

- Fixed the dim lighting on "Wayne Manor Ruins" (Stage for Bane) so it should no longer be an issue.

- Track for "Gotham's Clocktower" (Stage for Batman) has been changed.

- Sunlight effect on "City Beach stage (Stage for Sandman) has been significantly dimmed down to avoid making UI -- elements too difficult to parse mid-match.

- Kyle Rayner now has his own separate stage in Oa Central Battery.

- Solomon Grundy now has a new stage in "Grundy's Grave", his former stage, "Near Belle Reve" will remain in-game, -- albeit unassigned for the time being.

- Donovan now has a new stage in "Brazilian Forest", his former stage, "Under Moonlight" will remain for the -- time being, albeit as a non-character-specific stage (Will probably go to Psylocke if/when she's added).

- Added stage for Zangief (UWCF Arena).

- Boss character Parasite now has his own stage (S.T.A.R. Labs).

- Addition of "Gotham Church Roof" stage (Stage for Scarecrow).

- Addition of "Gold Mine Assault" stage (Currently assigned to no one).

- Addition of "Golden Gate Bridge" stage (Currently assigned to no one).

- Addition of "White House Incident" stage (Stage for Taskmaster).

- Addition of "Gerdenheim Laboratory" stage (Stage for Victor).

- Victory themes added for Victor and Zangief.

- Win quotes completed for Zangief

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 36/??) Second lantern ring char to be reworked (And almost certainly not the last if the other currently 3 end up making it too), out of the list of characters I picked to work on for this next patch, Sinestro kinda ended up being first almost entirely because I liked that he conveniently filled out the gap in the bottom left corner of the as of this writing (7/6/2022) current character select screen. Overall pretty satisfying char to work on, albeit I kinda wish I had him done a couple days sooner, albeit there's still a couple of elements related to not being able to cut down on the damage varying of some supers that consist of multiple different that I wish I could have tweaked more than I did. ;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SANDMAN

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 37/??) Third Loganir character I've done a rework on now, leaving Cyclops and Electro to go after this. Much like Sinestro immediately before him, he got picked mostly because either he or Vulture would've fit the other currently empty corner spot perfectly, and I just happened to feel like working on him at that moment than I did Vulture. Much like the other Loganir characters, while not entirely painless, was overall a pretty pleasant experience doing his rework, although I have a feeling I'll have to come back to nerf him some after field testing. Also pretty happy with getting back on the "around a week or so" pace for chars with him, especially considering the day or 2 taken to futz with Anita and then adjusting the camera on every currently present stage. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DONOVAN BAINE

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 38/??) (Originally completed on 7/29/2022) Donovan's an interesting case, as I really didn't know too much about him prior to selecting him during the initial rough draft, having never really played Night Warriors or any of the Vampire Savior variations he's actually in, kind of just picking him both because he kinda got dropped out of VSav, and because I figured he looked cool. So I got to learn the hard way, first hand, just how sorta unfinished he really was. Would I have still picked him in that rough draft if I had known this? Possibly not, but I feel that in the end, toughing it out for his rework was worth it. Humorously enough the Darkstalkers character spot in this patch wave (V1.05) was originally planned in advance to be Morrigan, before sorta being changed to Donovan at the last second after I felt like working on him more after futzing with Anita's code for a bit. Oh well, Morr, you'll get added eventually anyway. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ICE

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 40/??) (Originally completed on 8/11/2022) Not too much to add to this one, other than much like future add Batman, he's in this patch mostly because his absence was starting to feel a bit weird now that we're hitting the 40s.

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 41/??) (Originally completed on 8/22/2022) Vulture, much like Zvitor's most recent "Arrow", was technically never finished, although in Vulture's case, this is significantly more obvious on first inspection, with some animations outright missing hurtboxes for seemingly no reason other than they just hadn't been added yet. And to be honest, this character definitely needed some hard work put into him. While I feel like I've done most of the work needed, I still can't help but feel like maybe he's still missing something, but for now, the work that's already been done on him will do. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZANGIEF

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 42/??) (Originally completed on 9/20/2022) Zangief's been an interesting one, for sure, and one I've plenty of time to think about given he ended taking almost a month to be done, even if at least a couple of weeks in there we having to yet again tweak stuff on the entire rest of the cast mid-development on him. 'Gief himself has had a rather iffy relationship with being in actual Mahvel, having a less than stellar track record, with perhaps his biggest actual highlights being a mode that grants him infinite armor in exchange for even further limited movement, beyond that not even having much and outright being replaced with Haggar in MvC3, almost assuredly at least partially because Capcom just saw no hope for him. As far as this project is concerned, the absurdly beefed up kit this version had, to the point of probably the largest amount of cuts to a character's kit during a character rework yet, saw him already starting off pretty well, and I feel he's only going to shine brighter after the further polishing. Probably the other biggest point I can think of is very much keeping Alex in mind during this rework, although I think ultimately the two play differently enough that this shouldn't be an issue. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BATMAN

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 43/??) (Originally completed on 10/3/2022) Was probably highest up on the list of "when is [X] getting in/why isn't [X] in the game yet]", which was mostly why he was planned for this wave. Overall just glad this character didn't end up taking more than 2 weeks, especially after how bloated work on the previous rework (Zangief) got via having to then retweak stuff on every other already reworked character. You'd think I'd have more to say on him, and I could certainly spend a good amount of time remarking on the absolute dilapidated most/all of his hurtboxes were in, but honestly, at the moment I'm just glad he's done. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JUBILEE

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 44/??) (Originally completed on 10/11/2022) I can't remember if I started working on her the day OF or AFTER I finished Batman's rework, but I'm just gonna count that as "I got her rework done in a week" anyway because that makes me feel good. That aside, besides her supers being slightly wonky to make chain together, her rework was overall significantly smoother compared to the immediate prior chars (Batman and to a lesser extent due to other circumstances as well Zangief), something I immensely appreciate. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BANE

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 45/??) (Originally completed on 10/15/2022) Back to mostly rough after the relative comfort of Jubilee's rework, although to be entirely honest this was pretty smooth smailing in spite of it, if the being completed in 4 days wasn't sign enough of that. This WOULD have marked the completion of v1.05 in the originals plans, but as is there's still one more character to go. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NRVNQSR CHAOS

OTHER NOTES (CHAR ORDER COMPLETE : 46/??) (Originally completed on 10/23/2022) Brain VERY tired as I write this, so I'll keep it brief. 2nd Melty char, let alone the first, was originally gonna be a WAYS off, but Arc ended up getting added way earlier than I had originally anticipated, and not liking her sticking out awkwardly at the bottom of the character select, Nero here ended up tacked on at the end of the original roster lineup for v1.05. Overall, as far as his rework is concerned, VERY glad I had my experience from having already done Arcueid's rework so I wasn't going into Rajaa's... unique coding quirks completely blind again. Also having him down now means I still had v1.05 done in time for Halloween after all, which I'm pretty happy with. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KNOWN ISSUES

- Found another instance of Gamma Spear (QCF+K, Air OK) causing the opponent to be left stuck in place, -- albeit now unhittable, although the setup needed for this seems to be far more complex, and to be entirely -- honest I've had some difficulty replicating it after the first instance of it. If anyone happens to find -- whatever seems to be cause this with any replicatable consistency so I can attempt to fix this (again), -- I would greatly appreciate it.

- Figured out the web-gauge thing disappearing for a bit thing on Spider-Man, it seems to be whenever he's -- forced into an opponent-side custom state, not much can be done there for the time being.

- Performing Emerald Swordsman (QCF+P, midair) as Hal while rubbing up against a wall seems to result -- in unintended/strange behavior, currently unsure why.

- Sometimes after quickly charging up after performing a pre-charged Kinetic Card (QCF+P), it does not -- correctly register the variable to the "charged" value, even if it will not let you charge again -- before using it, resulting in a regular version of Kinetic Card coming out instead. Not entirely -- sure why THIS happens either but working on it. Possibly MUGEN/IKEMEN variable counters not being -- able to keep up? ;EDIT - Have managed to further narrow this down to happening with notably more consistency if done ------- while the opponent is still being hit by a previous Kinetic Card. I'm still not entirely sure ------- WHY it's like this still but hey.

- Possibly some slowdown on the Kent Family Farm (Stage for Supergirl) stage, normally only seems to happen while -- "dev stuff" is open, but also seems to happen if set to full screen during tag? Not entirely sure on this one -- to be honest, still not entirely sure WHY this stage in particular seems to cause slowdown to begin with (Although -- I suspect it might be almost every element on this stage all having separate anims to themselves due to reflecting -- the transition over time on the stage itself, including for lighting up during thunder strikes).

- On the very rare occasion where Jay Garrick's Human Whirlwind (QCF+PP) super does not properly set them up into -- "funnel" on hit, Jay will be stuck in a loop until the opponent walks back into the super. Not entirely sure -- what causes this particular situation yet.

- Despite the fact that each version of Poison Ivy's Poison Kiss (QCF+P) is supposed to be usable once per combo, -- using the HP version will also lock her out of the LP version as well until the combo ends. I'm not sure what -- is causing this exactly, but working on figuring that out.
