\u201cSeeing the game\u2019s content so positively received, with players enjoying the experience and feeling inspired to keep playing, has been a tremendous source of joy for the entire development team,\u201d Sekine began. <\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, we also recognize that the launch period was impacted by stability issues on PC, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused our players. It was never our intention for players to be unable to enjoy the game as we envisioned, and we are currently making progress on improvements to the PC version so that everyone can enjoy the game to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to outline a couple of areas the development team believes \u201cneed to be addressed,\u201d which included reassessing input responses and concerns of overly-frequent assists and tags.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have observed that particular inputs, such as attacks from aerial dashes or Free Flight, would sometimes not register correctly or even at all,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo address these issues, we intend to adjust the current input windows to ensure a smoother and more responsive gameplay experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the current state, there is a 6-frame input buffer when holding a button. However, we intend to adjust the way inputs are handled so that, in certain cases, the action will be performed even when the button is not held.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to frequent assists and tags, Sekine admitted that the game was originally balanced with the goal of players constantly tagging their characters in and out of battle. In fact, he revealed that the current state of the game has exceeded their expectations in this regard, though they acknowledged concerns from the community that this might be happening too frequently.<\/p>\n
Namely, this means the team is working on increasing the cooldown time for certain assists and switches to \u201callow us to maintain rushdown capabilities while also creating more time for phases of neutral play.\u201d Sekine said the team is looking into implementing these changes in updates \u201cas soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Changes to overall character balance, however, will be minimal. Sekine and the Tokon team believe that it\u2019s too soon to make sweeping changes, as they are currently in a \u201cdiscovery phase.” Sekine said that it is \u201cstill too early to start modifying character traits,\u201d especially since the changes to assists and tags will also impact gameplay.<\/p>\n
