Combat changes continue! This week we've tuned a bunch of Komododon (and some Robo) attack anims, as well as enhanced our Chain attack combat flow system. Now that Quick attacks can interrupt & dominate Chain attacks so easily, Chain attacks can finally "combo" into one another in a powerful way!
Two members of our design team pointed out that, since our last patch, Chain attacks have become easy to "counter" - making them less desirable. This second piece of combo-building was the missing bit to address that concern. Play games, and tell us what you think in our bug tracker!
Gameplay Changes
Komododon Chain_Away - weight & timing improved.
Komododon Chain_Toward - added more forward motion & slowed recovery. Hits 3 times.
Komododon Chain_Up - Removed the hop and added more step-through.
Komododon Fierce_Down - Extended wind-up by 3 frames, increased travel distance, fixed recovery.
Komododon Quick_Down - Fixed weight of stomp and recovery timing.
Komododon Chain_3 - Made it a headbutt instead of a bite.
Robokomododon Chain_Towards - Changed to hit only twice.
Engineering Changes
Added combo links between chain animations in character_root.

Combat Update Patch!
We've been really focused on getting feedback from all of you after each game, and we've rolled a ton of that feedback into our latest combat patch. We've started to slow the pace of combat down a bit - let us know how it feels! Gigashark and Robokomododon are getting more animation smoothing, tails are operating more smoothly - lots of small & medium changes!
We're also in the process of increasing knockdown distances - to create more interesting interactions between knockdown, Charge, Build_Up, and ground attacks.
Please note - many of the animation changes have NOT have the associated sound work finished just yet. Audio will tend to trail by one patch.
Engineering Fixes:

Robokomododon's Fall & Prone anims are now properly oriented.
Removed extra Defense Cell from Komododon.
Fixed bug which caused Getup Attacks to break defense cells!
Fixed bug which caused weapons to give infinite vertical KB.
Robokomododon's Power+Toward attack is no longer flagged as a weapon.
Gameplay Fixes:

Normalized damage resistances for all characters.
Hop links to other actions cleaned up & timed better.
Implemented Charge_hit anims on charge impact.
Gigashark has new build_up and fire anims.
Robokomododon has new build_up and fire anims.
8-way steps speeded up for all characters.
Roll speeds normalized & slightly reduced.
Hop speeds adjusted for all characters.
Komododon's attacks reviewed for increased knockdown.
Gigashark has new roar animation.
Gigashark's Chain + Down and Chain + Toward now connect properly with both hits.

Defense Cell Patch!
At long last, they're not just for show! There are a few small changes in this build which will have very big gameplay rammifications. Plus, a whole ton of minor improvements. Please keep submitting your thoughts, suggestions, feedback, and bug reports to our FEEDBACK TRACKER. The more you write, the faster we'll keep improving!
Engineering Fixes:

Defense Cells are now implemented! Regain a lost Defense Cell by roaring. (If you interrupt your roar with a Charge it won't count...) To break an opponent's Defense Cell do one of the following:
Hit them with a full-power weapon attack.
Hit them with a Charge.
Hit them while they are prone.
Fixed front knockdowns, prones, and rolls. All characters now roll in a way that is strategically useful, and properly oriented. This is a critical interaction with Charges, Ground Attacks, Getup Attacks, and Defense Cells.
KO reaction should now always play properly.
Fixed several intermittent bugs related to reactions not playing when they should have.
Fixed various bugs related to (invisible) KO'd monsters in 3 & 4 player matches.
Gameplay Fixes:

Characters without Defense Cells remaining take 150% damage from all sources, and are Knocked Down with any heavy attack.
Light attacks no longer interrupt Power Attacks. So when starting to use your weapon, a jab won't cancel you any more. This is true for all Power Attacks.
Jump Anims adjusted - for better flow & visual flair.
Hop Anims adjusted for Romokomododon & Gigashark.
Robokomododon's Toward + Chain attack had range extended to match the anim better.
Magnarok's basic Chain combo should now hit with both attacks more frequently.
Gigashark's Chain + Down attack should now hit more reliably.

Jump Patch!
Patch #311 is now live on Steam - and it brings big changes to jumps! We've been carefully looking at jump timings - we've actually been using very different jump timings for each of our three characters, to see how that changes player behavior. And based on that data, we've unified jump timings for all our characters. See the notes below for details:
Engineering Fixes:

Fixed a NASTY bug, where non-consecutive player IDs could generate potentially infinite damage. This should fix most of the bugs that were filed for local matches only.
Gameplay Fixes:

Knockdown times & blend times have been normalized for all characters - in anticipation of a major pass on knockdown distances next week! This means that reaction times when you are being knocked down have changed slightly. Reaction times to overhead knockdowns have been reduced 18%, to help reduce the abusability of moves like Magnarok's overhead slam.
Komododon's Toward + Quick move now counts as a duck, so it will slide under high enemy attacks properly.
Jump recovery times have been normalized at 20 frames (1/3rd of a second) for all characters. This means that while the jump land animation is the same length, a player's ability to interrupt the landing animation have been dramatically increased.
Jump forward distance scalar has been nearly doubled. If you are running full speed and still holding the stick in that direction, your total jump distance will be significantly larger. Since this is a scalar, the effects are reduced if you are moving slower - all the way down to zero (pure vertical jump) if you are not moving at all. Combined with the recovery time, this makes jumping a much stronger evasion option.
Do you like these changes? Hate them? What do you want to see next? Please sumbit bug reports / feeback via our official bug tracker:

Getup attacks now cancel charges.
Increased L/R head firing arc.
Prone monsters can now only be hit by overhead attacks.

Komododon - Quick + Toward no longer freezes.
Magnarok - light weapon damage increased.
Robokomododon - Fierce + Down slowed by 16%.
Robokomododon - Hops have more follow-through.
Robokomododon - Fierce + Up slowed by 25%.
We're pleased to announce that games played has spiked sharply since our first update of 2015 - online matches reached their highest one-day levels ever of over 350! We've also had 30 new bug reports in the past 2-3 days, which is wonderful! Please keep playing, commenting, and helping us get KLB into fighting trim!
Note - in several animations (get up attacks especially) character tails are not animating correctly. This has the effect of making certain characters totally vulnerable while on the ground - which makes them very weak. We are working hard to address this issue.

Back from the holidays!
Back at last from the holidays! As you can see from our build number, we've been working hard all through December, but never had the time to carefully review for a build. Now we're back, so expect frequent builds all through January!
Gameplay fixes:

Magnarok's weapon node position fixed. (Was firing out of his feet!)
All weapon ranges increased dramatically.
New Weapon VFX!
Weapon impact VFX!
Weapons now persist (as appropriate) in the world.
Komododon Bite changed for balance.
Komododon Quick_Toward changed for balance.
Magnarok Overhead_Knockdown anim improved.
Charge turn speed reduced. (It's now hard to miss with a charge, and come back immediately)
Energy use of Weapons overhauled. (See details below)
New Energy System Details:
When you press the POWER button, 1 cell of energy is spent.
Hold POWER as long as you like - no more limits based on energy!
When you release POWER, your character fires a weak, normal, or strong version of their weapon, and pays an additional energy cost: 1 cell for weak, 2 cells for normal, and 3 cells for strong.
To fire a normal beam, a character must build-up at least half way. For a strong beam, a character must build-up fully.
If you build-up past the point that you can afford in terms of energy, you will fire the weaker of the two options. (Doing a build-up with just 1 cell of energy will always fire a weak beam, no matter how long you build-up!)

Our Tuesday & Thursday play sessions were VERY successful - we hope to continue seeing such great turnouts! The data & ensuing discussion led to a number of specific fixes - particularly the jump tweak & Charge input change.
Note that the previous Charge input still functions normally - you can tap Roar, then tap it again at the proper moment to Charge. But now you can simply press & hold the button to begin Charging - much simpler to describe! There can be tactical reasons to delay your Charge, but we'll leave that as an exercise for advanced players.
Gameplay Fixes:

Many animations cleaned up (Magnarok knockdowns, Robokomododon's Idle)
Robokomododon's Hop Back improved
Robokomododon's basic Chain attacks reduced in damage.
Robokomododon's fist collision spheres increased in size.
Robokomododon's two-fisted attacks updated with better collision timing.
Charge input adjusted - now simply press & hold roar to Charge!
Jump values adjusted - jumps are now slightly higher, to allow jumping over tall characters.

After a side hop, weapons may now be used much earlier.
Multi-hit attacks implemented. (Try Magnarok's Chain + Toward!)
Several overhead attacks not hitting prone opponents have been fixed.
Many attack animations improved / made effective. (Magnarok especially)
Robokomododon's Slide attack changed to a Stagger (was a Knockdown)

Big update for combat!
Gameplay Fixes:

Bracing has been REMOVED from the game!
L-Trigger now causes characters to DUCK.
R-bumper (R2) now initiates a GRAB animation! (No effect - you can't
actually grapple yet.)
Many attacks now flagged as HIGH - meaning characters who DUCK are unaffected.
Charging characters are now less invulnerable than they used to be...
After a side hop, weapons may now be used much earlier.
Multi-hit attacks implemented. (Try Magnarok's Chain + Toward!)
Several overhead attacks not hitting prone opponents have been fixed.
Many attack animations improved / made effective. (Magnarok especially)
Robokomododon's Slide attack changed to a Stagger (was a Knockdown)
