UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes news & patch notes

This update to Version 1.35 consists of balance adjustments for game mechanics as well as some characters.

The outline and purpose of the game balance changes are summarized in the “Battle Related Adjustments” section.

■General Updates

Changed Battle Version to 1.35.

Fixed a portion of the sign that can be seen in the “Deep Azure Aquarium” stage.

Other minor bugs have been fixed.

■ Training Mode Changes

We have added “recovery proration” to the damage display options.

The recovery proration value decreases each time you connect combos, and a lower value results in a shorter untechable time.

■ Mission Mode Changes

Added around 5 “Expert” challenges for each character.

The difficulty level is extremely high, but please make use of features like the demo assist function to aid in character practice.

■ Explanation of Battle Related Adjustments

As an overall policy, we reviewed areas where the number of interactions until a match is settled had become excessively low.

By slightly increasing health, we’ve ensured the number of hits needed to defeat an opponent isn’t too low.

We’ve adjusted the balance to create a fair exchange of risk and reward by mitigating the payoff of powerful defensive actions while increasing the inherent benefits of guarding itself.

Additionally, we made detailed adjustments aimed at making the GRD-based interactions–a key feature of this title–more crucial.

■ Battle Related Changes

We have adjusted the health of all characters. This takes into account the overall increase in combo damage and the growing strength of offensive play. The goal is to prevent the number of hits required to finish an opponent and the amount of interactions in battles from decreasing too much. Please refer to the character-specific changes for details. Adjusted the display of untechable time during combos. The bar’s edge color changes from “blue → light blue → gray → black” based on the recovery proration value. The overall color scheme of the bar indicating techable time during combos has also been changed. This is to make the recovery proration value, which has become more important, easier to check during gameplay. Added damage scaling to guaranteed counterattacks when causing throws to whiff with a backstep. Backstep is a powerful invincible action. Certain characters and situations could exploit close-range positioning to bait opponents into whiffing throws, then immediately connect with maximum initial damage counterattacks. This allowed for high returns with low risk, prompting this adjustment. Tsurugi’s \ (B+C>←← or ←+A+B) shares the same effect as a backstep in terms of its mechanics, so it is also subject to this adjustment. Damage scaling has been added to specific attacks immediately after jumping. This applies when jump attacks, aerial unique moves, or aerial Force Functions land on a grounded opponent immediately after jumping (excluding Increase versions and special moves). Adjustments have been made to prevent actions like instantly dodging throws with a jump and then connecting high-damage combos from jump attacks from becoming overly dominant as defensive options. Increased versions are often designed for use immediately after jumping, and special moves require command input that is difficult to execute on the fly, so they are excluded from this adjustment. Please refer to the character-specific changes for details. We’ve slightly increased the amount of GRD gained while guarding. We’ve adjusted the amount of GRD that increases each frame during guard stun. This change does not affect guarding during Vorpal. While this is a game where offense is powerful, we’re shifting it towards a direction where solid defense yields benefits. When Smart Steer’s Steer Enders activate, we reduced the GRD increase amount when the recovery proration value is extremely low. We lowered the GRD increase and absorption amounts for unique moves and special moves during combos for certain characters. Following the GRD increase suppression during combos in Version 1.32, we made individual adjustments considering each character’s traits.

・Hyde

Increased health by 900. (10300→11200)

The following attacks are now subject to damage proration when performed directly after leaping up during a jump and hitting as a combo starter against a grounded opponent: (Jump A, Jump B, Jump C, Aerial →+C, Aerial ↓+C)

・Linne

Increased health by 900. (10600→11500)

・Carmine

Increased health by 700. (10800→11500)

The increase in health reduces the drawbacks of health-consuming skills, and considering his high recovery rate, Carmine’s health increase is lower than others.

The following attacks are now subject to damage proration when performed directly after leaping up during a jump and hitting as a combo starter against a grounded opponent:

(Jump A, Jump B, Jump C, \ ( Aerial →+B), \ ( Aerial ↘+C), Aerial \ ( Aerial B + C))

\ (B>B>B) and \ (↓↙←+B+C) now absorb half the GRD when used not as a starter.

While scaling was reduced in adjustments from version 1.24 to 1.30, we’ve now slightly increased it to a mid-range level.

This nerf aligns with the strategic balance for normal throws in this version.

・Ogre

Increased health by 1000. (10800→11800)

This addresses a brief instance where it would unnaturally whiff when used against close-range assaults.

Increased B Version of \ (↓↙←+B) has been fixed. Previously, if the projectile was attacked the instant the opponent guarded it, the projectile would bounce and attack while also making the opponent to guard.

The correct behavior is that the character can only choose one of the two bounce actions: either the bounce from guarding or the bounce from the attack.

The following attacks are now subject to damage proration when performed directly after leaping up during a jump and hitting as a combo starter against a grounded opponent:

(Jump A, Jump B, Jump C)

In the version 1.24 update, we mainly addressed minor display-related bug fixes. ■General Updates Changed Battle Version to 1.24. Fixed animation issues with the stage "North Metropolis - Central Street." Fixed other minor issues. ■ Battle Related Changes ・Gordeau Fixed an issue with the display timing of the attack effect for (B+C) and (→+B+C mid-dash). This issue fix only affects the visuals and not the properties of the moves. Thank you for supporting UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes.

This update to Version 1.22 consists of fixes for minor issues. Given the upcoming finals tournament for ARC WORLD TOUR, we have avoided any issue fixes that could end up weakening individual characters and kept changes to a minimum. ■General Updates Changed Battle Version to 1.22. Made minor fixes to text. Fixed other minor issues. ■Network Mode Changes Fixed an issue causing the connection signal indicator (ping value) with the opponent to display incorrectly. *Steam only ■Replay Mode Changes Fixed an issue causing the dummy behavior registered with Replay Assist to playback incorrectly sometimes when using Replay Assist Plus. *Steam only ■Battle Related Changes Fixed an issue where it was still possible to perform additional attacks after whiffing Steer Ender during a combo. This was unintended behavior caused by the previous fix to prevent it becoming unnaturally impossible to land additional attacks when a placed object hits after Steer Ender is blocked. ■Hyde Fixed an issue making it impossible to cancel into EX special moves when (B+C) clashes with an opponent’s projectile. ■Vatista Fixed an issue making it impossible to cancel into EX special moves when (↓+B+C) clashes with an opponent’s projectile. ■Kuon Fixed an issue making it possible for the opponent to block with either left or right inputs after performing Aerial (→↓↘+AorBorC mid-air) or (B+C>↓+B+C) or (B+C>↓+B+C mid-air). ■Ogre Fixed an issue causing the Dryly Bomb attached to the opponent with (→↘↓↙←→+AorBorC) to disappear and the icon to deactivate after hitting with Infinite Worth or Infinite Worth EXS. Fixed a visual error caused when the EX special move (↓↘→+C mid-air) hits after clashing 5 times with a projectile. Fixed an issue causing the projectile part of the EX special move (↓↓+B+C) to follow the character. ■Akatsuki Fixed an issue causing unintended neutral jump attacks after performing Chain Shift after a neutral double jump and then double jumping again.

This update to Version 1.12 consists of fixes for minor issues. ■Battle Updates Fixed an issue causing difficulty performing Infinite Worth (A+B+C) during Cross Cast Veil Off under certain circumstances. This fixes cases where a slight difference in timing for the simultaneous button press when inputting Infinite Worth (A+B+C) would often perform certain unintended moves. (This change applies to the following moves: Hyde’s (B+C), Vatista’s (Crouching) (↓+B+C), Yuzuriha’s (↓+B+C), Londrekia’s ←+C>←+C, Kuon’s ↘+C) Fixed an issue causing the follow-up hit to whiff sometimes after hitting with the Increased version of Waldstein’s standard Throw during the latter half of a combo. Fixed an issue causing the standard process intended to allow instantaneous overheads to be blocked crouching, intended to apply for all characters, to not work for Uzuki’s standing block stance. This addresses instances where it was especially challenging only for Uzuki to block certain overheads while in blockstun from blocking an attack standing. ■General Updates In Network Mode, fixed an issue causing the message "The opponent has disconnected" to appear repeatedly while in Standby in Training Mode. Fixed other minor issues.

This update to version 1.11 mainly fixes issues that occurred in version 1.10 and adjusts moves which were not effectively strengthened or weakened as intended. ■Battle Updates Fixed an issue where the minimum base damage for EX Moves and Infinite Worths in certain combos was higher than intended. This fix brings the base damage to the same value as those intended for patch 1.10. Fixed an issue that made it necessary to input commands as if facing in the opposite direction after the opponent had moved behind your character. For example, Linne’s →+C>→+C, had to be input as ←+C instead of →+C if the opponent went behind your back between the two inputs. Fixed an issue where the application would crash when KOing an opponent with a specific combo. Reduced the rendering processing load for some characters’ Infinite Worth and Infinite Worth EXS. ■Hyde Reduced knockback when ↘+B connects with a grounded opponent. This is to address the fact that combos such as ↘+B>C>↓↘→+B would not always work after the move hit at max range, despite our efforts to improve the move’s reach. ■Yuzuriha When (↓+B+C) whiffs, it now transitions to a special landing animation that cannot transition to . This is in addition to the adjustments that were made to weaken the move, by making it easier to whiff and more risky to use, as it had remained just as potent after whiffing. ■Chaos Expanded the base of the hitbox for his Steer Ender (A+B when attack hits) behind him. This is to address the fact that it was likely to whiff during specific combos. ■Enkidu With (→+B+C) and Increased (→+B+C), we’ve made it so that the animation does not play multiple times when enduring the opponent’s attacks. This is to address the issue where Enkidu could unintentionally become unable to move when enduring multiple hits. Changed the way the opponent is knocked back when hit with Increased (→+B+C). We had changed the knockback on the ground to increase the reward when it hit as the first move in a combo, but this made it harder to use overall, so we have adjusted it again. ■Kuon Fixed an issue where a specific input would launch the normal throw’s animation even if the throw had missed. Fixed an issue that caused the additional input →+B>→+B to make you turn around and attack when the opponent is behind Kuon. ■Uzuki Fixed an issue where the opponent would be unable to follow up even if the EX version of (↓↘→+C) did not hit. Fixed an issue where her icon would appear as not active if the poisonous gas from (↓+B+C) hit the opponent while it was already active. Fixed an issue that made Creeping Edge (↘+D) not have a counter attribute. ■General Updates Fixed an issue that prevented the background music in Customization mode to play. Fixed an issue that caused some text to not display correctly when the language was set to English. Fixed other minor issues.

Overall balance adjustments are planned to come with the next DLC character update. ■General Updates ・Fixed an issue that caused rollback to happen more often when the opponent performed a tech recovery during matches in Network Mode. ・Fixed an issue that caused the matching to be canceled when closing the Quick Select window after changing some items in it while waiting for an online match in Training Mode from the Network Mode. ・Fixed an issue that caused the character colors to sometimes return to default while waiting for an online match in Training Mode from the Network Mode. ・The check for trophy unlock conditions is now performed even when selecting previously obtained items for trophies unlocked by purchasing items in the Gallery Mode. ・Fixed other minor issues. ■Battle Updates ・Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented wall bounces from happening as intended due to camera movement. ・Throwing an opponent blocking with Shield now deals more damage, as the damage proration when throwing a blocking opponent is no longer applied. ・Damage scaling will now apply to the base damage of an Infinite Worth EXS that hits as part of a combo where an Infinite Worth already hit the opponent. ・No longer displays the “Punish” indicator when a throw connects during the recovery of the opponent’s move when it was possible to tech the throw. ・Fixed an issue that caused the EXS gauge not to deplete when being KO’ed right after launching an EX Special attack. ・Fixed an issue that caused erratic behavior when the opponent is hit during the screen freeze upon activating a Steer Ender. ■Hyde ・Fixed an issue that caused Hyde to sometimes enter the corner when his Steer Ender connects with an opponent in the corner. ■Seth ・Added an icon to indicate the power-up of the Captive Segment (Orb). ・Fixed an issue that resulted in variation in the characters’ positions when Transgressing Convict hits depending on the opponent’s character and which side of the screen the player is on. ■Chaos ・Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Azhi Dahaka to appear facing away from the opponent when summoning him to attack in a combo. ・Fixed an issue that caused Chaos to sometimes enter the corner when his Steer Ender connects with an opponent in the corner. ■Wagner ・Fixed an issue that caused Wagner to sometimes land with her back facing the opponent after Zerlegen. ■Kaguya ・Fixed an issue that caused the multi-hit part of the EX Special attack A Fleeting Beam of Light: Moonlight Flash to be canceled out by single-hit projectiles. ・Increased the buffer time to input the follow-up move to Dance Without Rest: Flower of Overflowing Light when the dodge is successful. ■Eltnum ・Fixed an issue that caused the EX version of Etherlite Ground to whiff against downed opponents. ■Akatsuki ・Adjusted the opponent’s position so that Akatsuki will not pass through to the other side of the opponent when using his Infinite Worth after hitting the opponent with his Steer Ender high in the air. ・Expanded the upper hitbox of Akatsuki’s Steer Ender so that the second hit will not whiff when it hits an opponent high in the air.
