  1. Cody
  2. Design Principle for Cody:
  3. Cody I wanted to emphasize his strengths as an all around balanced character BUT only while standing. Cody should feel like he is a formidable force at most ranges and has an answer to anything thrown at him as long as he is prepared ahead of time. However when knocked down is where Cody falters tremendously. His reversals will all be costly to use and unsafe if blocked as well as limited in scope. While Cody is viable at long range the range he is stronger the closer he is to you. His mixups are a bit lacking with his crack kick corpse hop or fjMK/HP crossups or F+HP overhead being the extent of his options. However he makes up for it by being incredibly strong while pressuring the opponent who is standing. Blocking Cody should be nearly as scary as blocking Gief or Makoto. He may not have a command throw but all of his normals are deadly and he is better than most at staying in as he has a plethora of forward moving attacks that are safe on block. crLK - LP Criminal Upper trap from Alpha 3 has returned to an extent as CU is now only -1F on block. There may be no guard break any more but it's still chip damage that adds up. Speaking of chip damage, Cody with the knife is a totally different beast.
  4.  
  5. Cody with the knife becomes a mini-Vega. His pokes all do a ton of chip damage, his attacks reach far and 3 of his knife attacks are special cancelable. All of his command normals are available while holding the knife. In general his knife attacks offer less block advantage but because of the chip and extra reach and better hitboxes they are moves you don't want to be blocking for long. In addition his knife pickup is now a special move allowing for new combos if you are careful to start a combo while standing over the knife. His biggest strength though is that while holding the knife his walk speed and dash ranges increase dramatically allowing him to play better footsies and make it harder to keep him pinned. Of course the downside is the loss of badstone, loss of cancelable crLP/sLP hurts his fast footsie OS of crLP - MK Ruffian and he cannot perform a focus attack without dropping the knife further making him weaker for pressuring. Plus all it takes is a single touch and he drops the knife and has to go fetch it again if he wants to use it potentially giving up positioning or simply making him predictable.
  6.  
  7. Further emphasizing his strengths as a "standing" character Cody has slow air normals and is unable to alter his jump arc whatsoever, he wants to keep the fight on the ground as much as possible. Cody

  73. ---------
  74. Knife throw startup reduced from 26F to 20F. Now possible to combo into knife throw from crHP with knife.
  75. EX Knife Throw added. EX Knife throw has the same startup as regular knife throw, however the knife cannot be knocked away by projectiles or strikes (it passes through projectiles without disrupting them.) in addition the knockdown caused by EX Knife throw is a free juggle state. Damage for EX Knife throw is 100 damage 100 stun. EX Knife projectile speed is Faster than LP Knife throw but slower than MP Knife throw. EX Knife throw breaks armor but regular knife throw does not. EX Knife Throw CANNOT be FADC'd or canceled into super.
  76. Fake Knife Throw frame count reduced from 32F to 27F. Now builds 8 meter.
  77. Badspray from face down knockdown recovery reduced by 20F to match Badspray from face up knockdown. Blockstun reduced by 3F. Should be -3F on block now and -2F on block when FADC'd. Hitbox height reduced by 8% to make it a weaker anti air. Invincibility increased by 5F (Now invincible 1-15F of it's 25F startup.)
  78. ---------
  79. Badstone revamped entirely:
  80. All Non-EX Badstones meter gain on startup increased from 10 to 15
  81. All badstones now have a 24F startup like EX. Now possible to combo into non-ex badstone with a counterhit sHP or crHP.
  82. All badstones do 25% stun on block. This can NOT result in a dizzy. Works just like Denjin Hadoken or Cody's Badspray, it requires a HIT to cause a dizzy even if stun is maxed out.
  83. LP Badstone arc changed to MP throw arc
  84. MP Throw arc changed to HP throw arc
  85. HP Throw arc now flies in a high arc that cannot hit crouching opponents during part of it's active frames.
  86. Badstone damage increased from 50 to 60.
  87. Badstone charging speed increased. In addition there are now 6 charge levels instead of 3. Each charge level gains 10 damage and 15stun. At max charge it becomes a 2hit level 1 badstone (60x2 damage 150x2 stun.) startup for a max charged badstone is 71F
  88. Blockstun increased by 2F, no change to hitstun.
  89. Fake Badstone frame count reduced from 31F to 26F now builds 8 meter.
  90. -------
  91. All Non-EX Criminal Uppers Meter Gain on startup increased from 20 to 30
  92. LP Criminal Upper recovery reduced from 22F to 18F. Tornado blockstun reduced by 1F Now -3F on block. Distance traveled increased by 6%. pushback on block increased slightly.
  93. MP/HP Criminal Upper travel distance increased 5-6% pushback on block increased a small amount..
  94. EX Criminal Upper damage increased on tornado hits from 20x6 to 22x6. Now causes slightly less pushback on block.
  95. -------------
  96. All non-ex Ruffian kicks meter gain on whiff increased from 20 to 25
  97. LK Ruffian Kick frame count changed from 15/8/20F to 15/11/17F. No change to frame advantage on block. (Unless spaced)
  98. MK Ruffian Kick frame count changed from 11/4/25F to 11/11/18F no change to frame advantage on block. (Unless spaced)
  99. HK Ruffian Kick frame count changed from 7/13/27 to 5/13/27. Hurtbox on upper body during startup and active frames reduced. On hit the opponent falls slower than previously (matches fall speed of an opponent hit by an SRK. Due to ease of comboing after meterless now the damage was reduced from 100 to 90 unless hit as an anti air.
  100. EX Ruffian Kick projectile invincibility increased from 11-20F to 7-20F. Frame count changed from 11/7/25 to 11/10/23. No change to frame advantage on block (Unless spaced). All non-ex Zonks meter gain on startup increased from 40 to 45
  101. ------------
  102. Zonk Knuckles have been more standardized. All levels of Zonk now have the same frame data and damage. Charging the zonk only changes how far you travel and the size of your hurtbox.
  103. Level 2 Zonk damage reduced from 140 to 130
  104. Level 3 Zonk damage reduced from 150 to 130
  105. Zonk frame data changed from 16-18F startup 3F active 26F recovery to 16F startup 4F active 23F recovery. Blockstun reduced by 4F to compensate for the reduced recovery. The move is now -8F on block. Pushback on block REDUCED by 25% making it easier to punish.
  106. Zonk now starts moving forward 1F earlier, slightly increasing the travel distance.
  107. Zonk Hitbox width and height increased by 20%, should no longer be able to be low profiled as easily and makes it a bit farther reaching.
  108. Zonk hurtbox height reduced during startup and active frames. Should trade less often and should no longer be so easily stuffed by mid body attacks such as Ryu's close HK.
  109. EX Zonk has been majorly changed:
  110. EX Zonk now has a 90F charge time (previously 60F)
  111. EX Zonk now costs 2 BARS of meter. EX Zonk CANNOT be FADC'd on block OR hit. EX Zonk Blockstun reduced by 2F. EX Zonk Damage reduced from 90*70 (160) to 70*70 (140).
  112. Frame count changed from 16/1*2/26 to 16/1*3/25. Hitbox size increased to match the increase of regular zonk.
  113. EX ZONK CAN NOW BE PERFORMED AS A GUARD CANCEL. Note: Multi hit moves that have no frame gap between hits cannot be guard canceled except on the last hit (Example: Ryu's U1). Moves with 16F or less from the first active frame until recovered (Such as light attacks or some mids) can be used to bait this move and punish it as it is -9F on block and cannot be made safe. The move also suffers from the same issue as regular zonk as it is not a good option against jump ins, trying to guard cancel a jump in will potentially cause you to whiff OR be punished due to the recovery of a jump in being so low.
  114. The EX Zonk 2 Bar cost is regardless if you used it as a guard cancel or not. It will cost 2 bars even in neutral.
  115. ------------
  116. New Move - Desperation Attack!
  117. Returning from the classic Final Fight days Cody's Desperation Attack is now possible to perform by hitting 3K. The move is a VERY high cost high reward move intentionally limited in when/how it can be used.
  118. The move has frame data as such: 4F startup 4F active Forward Facing Attack (3F no hitbox) 3F active Backwards facing hitbox (3F no hitbox) 3F active forward facing hitbox (3F no hitbox) 3F backward facing hitbox. (Simple version: 4/4(3)3(3)3(3)3/12+27 (12F airborne recovery 27F grounded) it is -40F on block.
  119. The move does 200 damage 250stun, breaks armor and causes an untechable knockdown that throws the opponent full screen. It is invincible 1F-18F
  120. However it is EXTREMELY costly to use:
  121. Desperation attack is just that, a move to be used in desperation. It can ONLY be performed as a reversal. The move CANNOT be FADC'd on block. It costs 1 bar of meter and 80 HEALTHto use. The health cannot be recovered, in addition the health cost is deducted on the first frame and you can SELF KO giving the opponent the round meaning don't use it if you aren't sure you have enough health. The health cost is however subject to life based scaling meaning once you start getting lower on health it will cost less just like damage scaling works but it never goes below 60health.
  122. The opponent also gains 80 meter when hit by the attack which is 30% of a bar. The move is intentionally very costly and intended to be used sparringly if at all. However having a 4F reversal with 18F invincibility and a large hitbox is a good tool to have, just don't let yourself get baited! It is safe jumpable at 4F startup and even if the attack whiffs or is blocked you pay the health cost.
  123. ---------------
  124. Super damage increased from 350 to 370.
  125. --------------
  126. U1 Juggle potential increased from 1 to 2. Startup reduced from 13F to 11F. Overall Damage lowered from 464 to 424 however the first hits damage was increased so that a counterhit results in a larger bonus than previously (Previously gained 21 dmg, now gains 28). The damage distribution was changed from 83+38x4+53+30x6 (Total: 468) to 113+27x4+41+27x6 (Total: 424).
  127. -------------
  128. U2 Juggle Potential for dust portion each hit increased by 1. Wrench Swings now have unlimited JP except for the last swing (the one that causes the camera change) which retains the original JP of 5. This allows Cody to use the dust and wrench swings as a juggle ender without being punished on hit. Hitbox size for each wrench swing as well as the distance traveled on the first wrench swing was increased, this should reduce situations where the dust hits but then the wrench swings are blockable. Damage distribution was completely reworked to emphasize the cinematic portion due to the increased strength of the non-cinematic portion. Damage distribution changed from: 23x7+45x6+75 (506) to 20x7+38x4+45x2+90 (472). This also means that the maximum damage for the non-cinematic version of the attack is 292 (though in practice it usually ends up at 254 as usually one of the wrench swings misses, I've never had 292 occur in all my tests but it SHOULD be possible somehow.)
  129. --------------------------
  130. Gouken
  131. Design principle for Gouken:
  132. Gouken is a somewhat slow attack speed heavy damage zoning character. Gouken is also a beast when he gets the opponent in the corner having some of the best juggle combos around. While Gouken's individual normals are all very good they often don't cover multiple angles of attack and cannot combo into his other attacks mid screen, Gouken must consistently choose the right attack for the situation but he usually has an option for any situation. Many of Gouken's attacks help to emphasize his relationship to Akuma (Gouki) and the defensive non-lethal version of Anatsuken martial arts that Gouken practices. To that end I wanted to emphasize some of Gouken's tools as defensive oriented teaching tools but also to further strengthen somewhat the idea of Gouken and Akuma being brothers.
  133. Lastly, while I want Gouken's aim to be to either push the opponent into the corner where his juggles are surpreme or simply punish opponents attempts to avoid his zoning I still wanted to shore up Gouken's poor hitconfirm options mid screen that force him to take higher risk than he should just to achieve consistency.
  134. -----------------------
  135. Walk speed increased from 0.045 forward 0.03 backward to 0.0465 forward 0.0325 Backward.
  136. Back Dash total frame count reduced from 25F to 24F distance traveled and speed traveled increased noticeably.
  137. Forward throw damage increased from 140 damage 150 stun to 150damage 150 stun.
  138. Back Throw tech window reduced from 16F to 10F after the throw hits.
  139. Removed Input Error causing B+F+B to register as a reverse SRK motion.
  140. ------------------

  145. close LK - Damage increased from 35 to 40. blockstun increased by 2F
  146. close MK - no change
  147. close HK - First hit causes a fast fall knockdown on air hit. 2nd hit causes a fast fall knockdown on air hit. 2nd hit has 1JP (Hitting the first hit on an airborne opponent will usually cause both hits to connect.) damage distribution changed from 40+70 (110) to 55+65(120) no change to stun damage. Blockstun increased by 2F.
  148. ------
  149. Far LP - Recovery reduced by 2F. Blockstun increased by 2F.
  150. Far MP - Blockstun increased by 3F
  151. Far HP - Blockstun increased by 1F stun increased from 200 to 250. Now does 313 stun on counterhit.

  161. crHK - Blockstun reduced by 1F (Most sweeps recieved 2F or more reduction. I felt that Gouken's sweep was one of his most iconic moves for it's incredible safety, speed, and versatility. As such it is only -4F on block and it received the standard increased pushback on block. It is in some ways safer than before.

  219. --------------------------
  220. Rose
  221. Design principle for Rose:
  222. Rose is a heavily footsie based character who wants to consistently be changing her ranges. While she has viable up close footsie options she really excells at mid range or farther away. Rose is also notable for her ability to turn the opponents zoning attempts against them. While her ability to play the traditional zoner is somewhat limited by her slower than average fireball frame count and her inability to easily convert most anti airs into high damage she is able to fight other pure zoners in a way that is unconventional and forces the zoner to play more offensively than they would normally. Unfortunately, at the moment she is also very easy to rush down and has some trouble dealing damage without meter.
  223. To this end I wanted to emphasize some of her longer pokes and traditional zoning options but also make her better at fighting other zoners as that is something somewhat unique to her. With the changes to meter in this project Rose should also stand out as a character who is incredibly good at building meter and using it effectively.

  295. -----------------------
  296. Vega
  297. -----------------------
  298. Design principle for Vega:
  299. Vega is a character oriented almost exclusively around pokes, mobility, and his throw game. In addition Vega is the original "Vortex" character from ST. Vega's claw and mask also offer a uniqe aspect to his game both defensively and offensively. Losing his claw shortens his range and lowers the damage of claw based attacks by 10 damage. Losing his Mask causes him to take and deal 10% more damage. However usually it is simply better to always have the mask and claw which makes it feel more like a throwaway weakness. I wanted to emphasize Vega's strengths as a poke character and try and make him feel like there is a reason to actually use his "Remove Mask" and "Remove Claw" specials for a reason other than to taunt the opponent.
  300. In addition I wanted to return a bit of the threat of his flying barcelona in neutral which only really comes into play against less mobile characters as more mobile ones are able to easily punish it even on full screen whiff.
  301. Lastly I felt that while Vega should remain somewhat weak should you get past his pokes and speed and actually pressure him I felt he was a bit TOO weak in that situation. Rather than giving him a DP by making EX Scarlet Terror Strike invincible I thought it would be more interesting to buff his other ways of escaping rather than actually doing a reversal.
  302. -----------------------

  369. -----------------------
  370. Dan
  371. -----------------------
  372. Design Principle for Dan:
  373. Dan is at his core, a spoof of KOF characters Ryo, Robert, and Yuri. As a joke character Dan is traditionally one of the weakest characters in any game he is playable. My intentions for Dan was to keep him feeling "silly" and "jokey" without being weak. I think that Dan does a great job showing his personality through his animations and movesets. I wanted to make his an overall better character but rather than strictly buffing the things he is worse at to be equal to his Shoto counterparts of Ryu and Ken I felt it would be more fun to push the KOF roots of his design.
  374. To this end Dan has had his fireball adjusted to be more like Ryo's Kyoken and is more of a poke than a true zoning tool but is still useful for zoning. Dan also has been given a run with similar properties to CvS2 or KOF which allows him to quickly follow up and gain ground after any knockdown.
  375. Lastly, one of his most iconic moves is his taunts. I wanted to make his taunts feel like they were still taunts (and as such shouldn't be used against strong players very often if ever) but that if the Dan player was truely better than their opponent and could read them properly he could actually utilize the taunts into his gameplay and be rewarded for it.
  376. -----------------------
