{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25401601/08d2ed33a1eb9aed26158ba09cac4a337d49d4f0.png Thank you all for the wait, and for your assistance in the long-running beta test of Acceleration of SUGURI 2! After many changes and iterations, the balance beta test has finally run its course, and we're happy to announce the release of version 1.9! The beta went over every character with the aim of making them all more enjoyable and more viable in competitive games, which resulted in bigger changes in certain characters than others. You can view full patch notes on the forums. In addition, version 1.9 adds the Quarantined Rapport 4 winners to the Hall of Fame!

What's next?

We are closing down the beta branch for now. However, we plan to open it again in the near future, this time to run experiments on new gameplay features instead of balance, including new mechanics and lobby options. Many thanks to all our long-time players... and keep on accelerating!

However, they are criminally understaffed! If you'd like to help, just take a look at this roadmap. We have been told that even just 1 new contributor would do wonders!

FRAME DATA & FRAME COUNTER

Check your favorite character moves Frame by Frame with the Frame Data, and use the Frame Counter to more easily analyze your matches with your friends. No more looking for a specific second in a video, just check on which frame the action happened!

CONTROL TIME

Pause your game, hide the menu and control the match with frame precision. You can rewind or forward time at will, at the speed you want! This feature works not only on replays, but also in training mode.

TRAIN WITH REPLAYS

Lost to a really good player online? Want to avoid getting hit by the combos and setups they did? No worries, just save the replay, find the specific situation in the match you wish to practice, Save State right before it and take over for the player side you were using! Now you can practice the same situation as many times as you want! This revolutionary feature allows you to practice against specific match-ups, players and situations using replays from real matches… ...and once you take over, you have access to ALL training mode features! Have fun! All these features and much more are available now. Also, congratulations to Quarantined Rapport 2 Top 8 winners, your names have already been added to the Hall of Fame!
