Dead or Alive 6++ Public Beta patchnotes

Dead Or Alive 6++ Public Beta

latest version: https://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/6-gameplay-overhaul.9137/

Universal Changes
	no fatal rush
	no meter
	no break blow
	no break hold
	no break system page in the command list.


	push capsules are smaller - made some more tweaks
		may still cause alignment issues in some juggles, particularly near walls
			you may simply be closer to the opponent when executing your launcher which could affect juggles. try timing it.
		should allow jumping mids to clear low sweeps much more consistently.
		more jumnping attacks are able to crossup or corpse hop.
		some guaranteed multiple back-hit situations are nolonger guaranteed.


	neutral hurt capsules are smaller
		no hands and feet spheres, the first dozen patches didn't have them and they create bad edge-case interactions
		no "extra" disembodied capsule
			should be easier to jump over projectiles
			limbo stuns are a little harder to convert because a bunch of stuff like hayabusa 4h+k was hitting that extra capsule, not very close to the model
			functional buff to brad's laying stance. bokuho unaffected.
		Some very specific interactions like Rig 6H, 5P are nerfed by this.

	falling down after a wallsplat is vulnerable to ground hits slightly sooner

	environment object stuns -> knockdown bound
		face-first (i.e. back hits) is still normal because there's no appropriate animation
		launch height out of this bound is determined by previous juggle (not combo) hit count.

	ceiling strikes bounce once instead of techable stun / techable bounce on 2nd hit
		affects jann 33p/ pp6pp and ayane bt 6h+k etc

	SSA meter cost removed
	SSA wall detection and damage reduced
	SSA does patch 1.19 oki knockdown instead of blow away

	Some force-crouch fatal stun animations changed to sit-down posture

	increased vulnerability window for tracking vs sidestep fatal stun
	increased vulnerability window for sitdown fatal stuns

	Added force-tech property to moves with 30+ normal-hit damage. kasumi 66h+k, ayane 9k etc.
		these are not listed individually in the character changes
	Added wall detection to juggle-to-bound moves. Do something else at the wall.
	Added back-hit limbo stun to mids which cause a fallover gut stun on normal or counter-hit.
		these are also not listed individually, and some characters didn't have qualifying moves
		some characters can chain limbos. just don't get hit in the back.

	homing aka re-tracking significantly reduced on most moves
		We didn't figure out how to buff freestep directly but most jumping moves and slower standing moves should be dodgable with freestep.
		Note that homing and tracking are not the same thing, and you may be able to step tracking moves. Tracking and command side-step are a subsystem.

	Command list (i.e. the pause menu/ training mode) entries are not complete for all new moves/strings
	Combo Challenge, DOAQuest, and the tutorial are partially incompatable with the modded game, disable the mod if you want to do that stuff.
	Command training for some characters will be

	Added a variety of "new" moves that were still available in the game files. Additions are a product of what was available, reasonable, practical, and timely. As examples: Several characters had no disused moves to bring back, Tamaki has a bunch of momiji moves but those don't make sense on an aikido character, making Honoka bokuho p+k (extensively modified power launcher) was annoying enough that I don't want to do more of those, and 3-way phase 4 teleports proved too complicated to program.

	More updates to come, probably.

		2kk
		pp4p/ 214p
		236p
		bt 4p 7K

brad wong
	laying 88 and 22 are faster
	freestep 8_/2_ P semi-evasive

christie
	added a bunch of dokuja-fujin stuff (doa 4 bokuho-ish stance)
	preserved modern inputs, so the command stance entries are a bit different
		1p+k = doa 4 2p+k
		214p+k = doa 4 1p+k
		33p+k = doa 4 3p+k
		sidestep p+k also enters stance
	stance jak only has old jak moves, PP, PKP, PK2P
	stance should generally have all the old moves as they were
		stance 6p does oki knockdown instead of doa 4 sitdown but TN did that at some point not me

	added 4k2kp2pk string
	running h+k as alternate input for running 2k like the old games had
		you're welcome, scrubs.

 		~12i launcher, gives 2p+k 46p and 6kk/6k2k, weight allowing
	throw speed buff removed (why the hell did they make her a grappler)

known issues

	leifang 3k p+k sometimes push-whiffs itself in neutral
	raijin probably does too much damage on normal
	sidestepping with h+p+k as three buttons pressed causes any button to qualify for SSA's input check, which may override sidestep cancels.
		doesn't affect the h+p+k macro or the S macro.

	minor isssues
		old 214p still in raidou's command training/ list
		most "new" moves don't have command list entries
		SSA and sidestep cancels don't have command list entries.
		some back-hit adjustments removed DOA 1 floor launch, will probably overhaul eventually.

known "issues"
	momiji uses default jump attack pushcapsules, i.e. the great wall. probably not worth my time to find per-move minimum functional geometry.
	some characters' low wuk colliders were inelegantly fixed to have fair geometry, toggle the collider visualizer off if it bothers you.
	I forgot how I made hitomi use her doa 4 idle stance
	honoka bkh p+k is implemented incorrectly in a way that doesn't really matter to players.


stuff we can't or don't know how to change that I'm intersted in changing/adding
	freestep speed
	animation data
	ceiling interactions
	side-wall hits not activating dangerzones
	stage geometry
	fireworks behavior
	rumble dangerzone behavior
	the various problems with forbidden fortune
	online selectable story stages (there's a version of throwdown with no crowd in Diego's story. Douglass memorial is probably mid to play on)
	using the 3 extra character IDs for something (prototype raidou, boss raidou, extra phase 4)
	netcode
	remove close-hit from juggle bound.
