Without necessarily going into the details of a list that aims to rebalance as much as possible the big differences in level between the best endowed characters and the others, we remember that SNK has obviously chosen to nerve certain aspects of the game. Thus the guard openings based on small kicks – the famous low+B – hurt less, and stun for half as long, so that players will have to be extra vigilant and demonstrate timing to continue their chain or simply optimize the damage. We also note the desire to reduce the activation zone of certain projectiles, to facilitate approaches with more permissive collisions on the lower part of the characters. Finally, it will be easier to confirm certain strong hits to start a chain, while certain very effective EX hits will have their damage reduced overall.
Beyond the countless individual changes, with a cast of around forty playable characters, many ergonomic options will also be added in the process. SNK also promises to make it easier to execute certain moves with timings a little more permissive on some commands. Remember that if the update is obviously free, it will cost € 15.99 to reform Team South Town, compared to € 29.99 for the entire first pass, which already includes Gato, B. Jenet and Rock Howard ; Omega Rugal and its Mission mode were offered for free a few weeks ago.
