Balance & Collision Patch

Good evening everyone, and welcome to Royalty Free-For-All 1.0.8! This update issues a number of corrections to bring the game more in line with our vision, featuring primarily a number of revisions to character balance and collision data. Please take a look:

Lancelot:

• Air Special: Last hit knockback growth increased from 0.2 → 0.4, and angle 70 → 65.

Nessie:

• Ground Special: Hitting Nessie will cause the bubble to pop.
• Ground Special: Initial trap in the bubble will no longer deal damage. (Previously dealt 6% damage)
• Ground Special: On-hit Bubble Trap base duration and duration scaling reduced.
• Old scaling was 45-180 frames from 0-135 damage
• New scaling is 30-120 frames from 0-180 damage.

Ground Special: Fixed a crash for when a character inside Nessie’s bubble gets KO’d via max damage.

Grab: Ending lag on whiff increased by 10 frames.

Grab: Size of the initial grab hitbox decreased and hitbox moved inwards.

Grab: Second grab hitbox adjusted to ensure no new deadzones were created by previous change.

Quick Brown Fox:

• Ground Special: You can now wall tech this move.

Sakura:

• Air Weak - Side: Hitbox size increased.
• Air Weak - Up: Separated into two hitboxes, an 8 damage sweetspot and a 6 damage sourspot.
• Sweetspot is in front of Sakura and behaves like old Up Air Weak.
• Sourspot is behind Sakura and sends at 110 degrees (up and behind).

Air Weak - Down: Sweetspot base knockback increased and angle 295 → 290.

Air Weak - Down: Sourspot hitbox size increased. (This change doesn’t make the sweetspot harder to hit).

Sweeney Todd:

• Air Weak: Added a new hitbox in the upper area of the attack. Deals 5 damage and has low knockback.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when a projectile connected after the character who fired it was already gone.
• Fixed a crash when grabbing a Break the Targets target at the exact moment the grab attack ended.
• Fixed a crash on the character select screen when changing palettes with no character selected.
• Fixed a crash when cycling a menu setting that only had one available option. This most often affected the window size setting on smaller displays.
• Fixed Steam Input controller configurations not working on Linux.
• Fixed the game losing audio when switching audio devices (e.g. plugging in headphones) on Linux / Steam Deck.
• Fixed a crash when dragging a non-player grab target across a slope.

• Improved input handling at the start of online matches.
• Removed the characters 1, I, and L from private match codes so they're easier to read and share without mix-ups.

• Fixed an issue that would prevent players from teching on walls and ceilings.
• Fixed a bug that would prevent a player from doing a walljump out of wall tech.
• Replaced public domain music on the International West Egg stage with an adjusted rendition of the US region's music.
