Or, if you played KOF XIII, DAAAW!

The PS3/4/Vita builds have been created and will be entering submission soon. Work on X360 lobbies (hey, remember that promise?) proceeds apace, we recently tested joining a lobby with 4 XBoxen. The end is in sight.

Several last bugfixes are included here, but this should be the last Beta update unless there's some problem when we add JP voices after the console versions come out...
How many times have I said that now? :^P

If you have enjoyed the game I've designed thus far, please trust that I think this is a good decision for the future of that same game.

- Added the -disablelighting Launch Option. Does what it says, disables 99% of in-game lighting. Enabling this will make the game run better on bad computers, but it will look much worse.

NEW - Added "None" as a Dummy Action choice in Training Mode, on PC/Mac/Linux only. If you have the bug where one controller controls both characters in Training Mode, this is the "fix". Sigh. (=.=)
NEW - Fixed kicking people from lobbies on consoles.
- Attempted to fix the Demon Lobbies bug.
- Fixed snapping out last remaining characters on a team not causing wallbounce! (special thanks jmz and WingZero!)
- Fixed the following supers doing less damage than they should at minimum scaling when over 240 Undizzy: Bandwagon Rushdown, Lady of Slaughter, Nekhbet Breaker, Magnetic Trap, taunted Tympany Drive, Buer Thresher, and Rage of the Dragon.
- Fixed multiple bugs with midstage double snaps. Assists now must always reach the stage edge to stay in, unless Center Stage is active. A bunch of weird cases are now taken care of. (thanks Age!)
- Bursting the end of A-Train, Pummel Horse, and Canis Major Press can now hit the attacker, and so can Burst->alpha counter. Be careful!
- Gigantic Arm, 3 Wolf Moonsault, Diamonds Are Forever, Tricobezoar, Twice Shy, Head Over Heels, Fifth of Dismember, Lonesome Lenny, Acquisitive Prescription/Countervenom, and Rebirth Ex Machina all now properly grant the opponent a real amount of meter, as opposed to giving them the minimum meter possible from an attack or none at all. Silent Scope and Inferno Brigade were not adjusted, they are supposed to grant very little meter and were already set up to do that.
- Increased the size of the dead zone for legacy USB devices on PS4. Forgot to do this when I did it for DS4s! (thanks AlcoholicRobot)
- Fixed burstable-hitspark sound occasionally being weird. (also thanks AlcoholicRobot)
- Undizzy counts down on all frames, not just non-skipped frames. Fixes a possible desync online!
- Being kicked from a lobby no longer locks you out of all other game modes until the game is restarted. :^P
- SDL has been updated to version 2.0.5, which should fix the framerate issues on certain systems that have weird DBUS configurations.
- Added the -nohidpi option to manually resolve crashes on certain Macs that have extremely recent updates that made the game crash.
Please feel free to contact cybik if the issues/crashes for the Linux and OSX versions are still present.

- ALL damage when above 240 undizzy is simply scaled by an extra 45% (to 55%, 1000 -> 550), with the same minimums as normal.
- When Undizzy is at 240+, the bar waits for 4f after recovery from hitstun before starting to decrease, so that resets must give the defender a larger window before no longer being penalized. Below 240, the bar still decreases instantly, and there is no delay when recovering from blockstun (unless a previous delay from hitstun has not yet finished).
- Snapping out a character on a trio now locks out both assists, not just the one you snapped out. This also locks out DHCs to both characters, and in general makes playing a trio riskier. Technically this qualifies as a bug fix, but since it changes that dynamic I have listed it as a Change.
- When Undizzy is at 240+, the attacker always gets the minimum damage-scaled metergain and the victim always gets the maximum.

Changes
- All versions of A-Train are now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it counts as a separate special move from Brass Knuckles.)
- He now can’t use taunted supers during the same combo that he gained the taunt.
- Taunted Super Sonic Jazz -190 damage. At full scaling having a taunt gives almost exactly one extra super’s worth of damage now, instead of more than that.

Bug Fixes
- s.MP -> Pipe Bomb will no longer wrongly trigger Undizzy from the mic drop if the first hit of s.MP both wasn't chained into and also brings Undizzy over 240 before the mic hits.
- Two chairless j.HPs that would trade with each other, will now tech each other. This requires both to be active, if only one is active then it will grab as normal.
- Removed leftover buggy script from armor reactions. (thanks EU SG!)
- Added missing physical extent box on frame 4 of air knockup hitstun.
Change
- Non-super versions of Canis Major Press are now IPS tracked, and can grant IPS and Undizzy bursts if the grab-mode starting attack wasn't chained into.

Bug Fix
- Enemies held by Excellebella are always considered to be very far in front of her, because on the frames during the settling after being grabbed where that was not the case. This should fix randomly getting attacks facing the wrong way or backward motions during the first part of Excellebella assist grabs.
Changes
- Pummel Horse is now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it now counts as Excellebella, because they are both comboable grabs.)
- The last hit of Excellebella assist only and all followup damage is force-scaled to 33% maximum. (Raw assist 1650 dmg to 1047 dmg.)
- j.HP scales damage to 75%, to give her slightly less reward for how much blockstun and priority it has.

Bug Fix
- The middle hits of j.HP now have the same momentum fix as the last hit does. This may not change very much, it is more for consistency.

Bug Fix
- Sekhmet doesn't turn around when hit from the back by certain moves like Zoom!

Bug Fixes
NEW - Instant-air beams are now always possible with assist commands (D,DF,F+P+K). Previously this was glitched during jump-rise unless the Kick button was pressed before the Punch button.
NEW - All allied sprites will never blow up Headrone Impact mines. (This was a few bugs combined.)
- Removed leftover buggy script from armor reactions. (thanks EU SG!)
- Headrone Salvo missiles “Kitten Moussles”, free unused pun to good home now properly display IPS and Undizzy sparks when they hit, if those conditions are active.
- Lv1 and Lv3 Catastrophe Cannons now pull the opponent downward more, hitstop on each Cannon hit increased by 4f, and lowered the launch height of the individual hits, to help make many DHCs from Cannon not randomly miss half the time.

Bug Fix
- Countervenom and Acquisitive Prescription properly set the DHC number, so the correct DHCs are always available no matter which supers Valentine has done previously. (thanks amabane!)
Change
- Purple poison decides whether it will be max-undizzy-scaled or not when the syringe hits, and doesn't change any time after that.

Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 15601...
My name is Carol.

Yes, there's a fourth day.

Read up on why this batch of experiments happened.[skullheart.com]

After examining the many effects of all these changes, I like the way the 55% damage reduction and meter gain boost above max Undizzy makes thinking during play work. You can still DHC early for damage and single-character combos aren't changed, but the max-undizzy repeatable setups are much less useful. Repeated pressure is rewarded, but not as heavily as before.

However, there are some extra fixes to test, in particular a lobby player-matching fix, so we have one more build!

NEW - MAYBE fixed All-Play lobby matching so it won't match you against the person you just played if there are more than 2 people in the lobby? Maybe. Test this in big lobbies please!
NEW - Bursting the end of A-Train, Pummel Horse, and Canis Major Press can now hit the attacker, and so can Burst->alpha counter. Be careful!
NEW - Gigantic Arm, 3 Wolf Moonsault, Diamonds Are Forever, Tricobezoar, Twice Shy, Head Over Heels, Fifth of Dismember, Lonesome Lenny, Acquisitive Prescription/Countervenom, and Rebirth Ex Machina all now properly grant the opponent a real amount of meter, as opposed to giving them the minimum meter possible from an attack or none at all.

- Pummel Horse is now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it now counts as Excellebella, because they are both comboable grabs.)
NEW - Excellebella assist allows combos after taunting, removing that was too harsh. But the last hit of the assist and all followup damage is force-scaled to 33% maximum. (Raw assist 1650 dmg to 1047 dmg.)
NEW - j.HP scales damage to 75%, to give her slightly less reward for how much blockstun and priority it has.

- Any non-super damage when at or above 240 Undizzy is now subject to the most damage scaling possible. This situation ignores the different final scaling for hits over 1000 damage - all hits are scaled the same regardless of base damage.
NEW - When Undizzy is at 240+, the bar waits for 12f after recovery from hitstun/blockstun before starting to decrease, so that resets must give the defender a larger window before no longer being penalized. Below 240, the bar still decreases instantly.
NEW - When Undizzy is at 240+, the attacker always gets the minimum damage-scaled metergain and the victim always gets the maximum.

Experiments

Experiment
NEW - Pummel Horse is now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it now counts as Excellebella, because they are both comboable grabs.)
NEW - Excellebella assist only now causes sweep knockdown (invincible, techable) if you taunt during it with any character. This is really harsh, yes, but I’d like to see how harsh, because taunted SSJ is a pretty big issue with respect to max Undizzy. This lets you still get a free taunt, but not a combo or setup afterward. There is no other reasonable way to affect taunt combos without also affecting Valentine getting vials, because double vial load is longer than any taunt. :^(

Bug Fixes

There are exactly 3 days to test this build, discover whether we like this direction, and decide to keep things or not. Remember, it'll feel like a big shift, so be ready for that.

- Being kicked from a lobby no longer locks you out of all other game modes until the game is restarted. :^P
- SDL has been updated to version 2.0.5, which should fix the framerate issues on certain systems that have weird DBUS configurations.
- Added the -nohidpi option to manually resolve crashes on certain Macs that have extremely recent updates that made the game crash.
Please feel free to contact cybik if the issues/crashes for the Linux and OSX versions are still present.

It deserves restating. :^)

- Any non-super damage when at or above 240 Undizzy is now subject to the most damage scaling possible. This situation ignores the different final scaling for hits over 1000 damage - all hits are scaled the same regardless of base damage. This includes Valentine’s poison. Let’s see what effect this has on match flow, because this seems to handle reducing the reward for max-undizzy sequences pretty well without any other changes to combo stages or meter gain.

Experiments
- All versions of A-Train are now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it counts as a separate special move from Brass Knuckles.)
- He now can’t use taunted supers during the same combo that he gained the taunt.

Bug Fix
- Added missing physical extent box on frame 4 of air knockup hitstun.
Experiment
- Non-super versions of Canis Major Press are now IPS tracked, and can grant IPS and Undizzy bursts if the grab-mode starting attack wasn't chained into.

Experiment
- Pummel Horse is now IPS tracked, and can grant Undizzy or IPS bursts if not chained into. (For IPS it counts as a run followup, the same as Kanchou or Battle Butt.)
- I decided not to do anything to Excellebella.

Bug Fixes
- Headrone Salvo missiles “Kitten Moussles”, free unused pun to good home now properly display IPS and Undizzy sparks when they hit, if those conditions are active.
- Lv1 and Lv3 Catastrophe Cannons now pull the opponent downward more, hitstop on each Cannon hit increased by 4f, and lowered the launch height of the individual hits, to help make many DHCs from Cannon not randomly miss half the time.

Experiment
- Purple poison is affected by the max-undizzy damage scaling. This might be too harsh, but let's see what non-Valentine-players think.

As always, the full changelist is HERE[docs.google.com].

With the PS3 version not crashing in lobbies anymore, I have prepared what I hope are the submission-ready console builds for this patch. Thus, gameplay isn't changing from here on. (Please still report major bugs!)

To the person who asked if it was too late to suggest a "Parry" training mode option: Yes, it was, but I had an hour left so I did it! :^)

- Shuffled around lobby names so that if the bug where all lobbies appear as the first listed lobby name happens, at least now it’ll be a bunch of “Unnamed Lobby” instead of a bunch of “Casual Matches - Beginner”. (thanks Liam!)
- Added “Parry (Big Band)” training mode options: you can now choose to have the dummy parry Never/After First Hit/Always/First Hit Only/Random. And I even marked the state after a successful parry as able to play training dummy “As Reversal” recordings so you can practice beating Parry->Beat Extend.
- Fixed a bug in the last section of Beowulf's tutorial.
- Updated the Copyright notice on the title screen because it's 2017 now. :^P

- Bugfix: The Lv2 Hype pickup off Moonsault is no longer accidentally supercancellable on the first frame. (thanks Havic!)

- Double's Lv5 detonation no longer costs her a Perfect.

- c.MP is now unable to cross up enemies that are not already in hitstun, just like Fukua's j.HK, because there was a frame-perfect unblockable using it that way. This is the lowest-risk fix for that, which doesn't ruin combos or require massive script changes, and unfortunately "low risk" is the most important thing right now! All other moving normal attacks have been checked, this is the only one besides the unfixed Squigly j.MP that had this problem, and it was for the same reason.
My apologies to Double/Cerebella players, but I gotta remove unblockable setups, you know, For the Future When People Would Be Really Good At Them. :^\ (Cerebella still has s.LK as antiair if you are unsure of spacing c.MP now.)

- Bugfix: Spiked balls dropped during a Tenrai Ha don't add any Undizzy, instead of possibly adding up to 100 extra undizzy for hitting with all of them. They can still trigger an Undizzy burst if they make contact at over maximum. Regular Lv2 spiked balls still work normally, and the Tenrai Ha weight itself still adds the regular amount of Undizzy. (thanks Lawnba!)

Motor Brigade FINAL:
- Still 6 bikes, but faster than before so they juggle off Napalm Pillar anywhere on everyone. Advantage on block is therefore less than before, and it is possible to pushblock and punish with a Light/Medium/super, but you can’t jump out after blocking Napalm Pillar->Motor Brigade midscreen so no more jumping Hard Counterhit punishes.
- Opponent reaction changed to facedown knockdown for easier juggles.
- Chip damage 450->600.
- Last 4 bikes won't hit opponents who were tossed by Egret Charge, unless there were hit by a previous bike; the upshot of this is that cancelling Egret Charge into Motor Brigade (where the Motor Brigade picks up into the grab) will not ruin the wallbounce anymore.

- Lv3 fireball’s movement between fast hits greatly reduced, and the opponent is knocked upward less by all middle hits, to hopefully make it hit more fully against oddly-positioned airborne opponents and close-up standing opponents.

- Bugfix: If you Pushblock Guard Cancel and actually parry within the 5f "PBGC" window immediately after recovering, Big Band will now properly flash green. (thanks Warped)

- Bugfix: Landing frames of Rekka->El Gato is now properly counterhit state, and properly leads to grounded hit reactions instead of air reactions. (thanks McPeanuts)

- Fixed her intro VO for P2 Valleywheel in her new intros: if she would've responded to P1 with a growl or comment, she won't interrupt herself anymore. (thanks, various foxes)

In theory, the next update will be Beta-to-Retail when the console version comes out. I hope you all enjoy the game!

Title screen build ID 15430
As always, the full changelist is HERE[docs.google.com].

- Implemented the lobby lock at 7 seconds differently, hopefully this fixes some of the newly-introduced lobby issues.
- Bugfix: With "online opponent voices" off, the character select screen no longer shows when online opponents have picked a voicepack. It used to, even though the in-game voice would be normal. (thanks Rabbleflaggers)

- j.HK +2f opponent blockstop (halfway between previous Beta and Retail); j.HP +1f opponent blockstop (also halfway). Makes her slightly harder to get rid of on pressure.
- Because they can be held and can hit high or low, hitting with any Clone still scales followup damage, but they now scale damage less based on what number Clone they were, when summoned in a combo. First Clone is now 25% scaling (scaled to 75%), second is 35%, and third is the same as before, scaled by 45% (to 55%). If she continues to hold the Clone it retains that damage scaling, so doing a combo with two Clones and summoning a third, then resetting into the held Clone, will still scale to 55% as before. But starting a combo into M Clone now scales to 75% instead of 55%, so her non-Clone-reset combo damage is increased.

- Robo's Lv3 explosion's self-inflicted damage no longer costs her a perfect.

- Wulfamania now allows multiple air Diving Wulfdogs, in addition to ground ones. (thanks Rabbleflaggers)

More Motor Brigade experiments!
- New version, though much better, was just a little too safe: Advantage on normal block -3f; pushblocking earlier now recovers first, sometimes with enough time to punish her, but she’s usually negative.
- Chip damage 600->500 (still up from 450 in Retail).
