Pushing hit detection
● Fixed issue causing both characters to slide when they were in contact that would cause them to push against each other.
- This was unintended and has been fixed.
Recovery
● Fixed issue where some attacks that do not allow recovery to trigger allowed recovery to trigger.(Ex. When Iggy hits Jotaro Kujo during his "My Stand will be the judge!" skill's uininterruptible state and is hit by "My Stand will be the judge!", he will be sent into recovery despite the attack not allowing this.)
- This was unintended and has been fixed.
Landing after aerial recovery

- Improves usability in neutral and in combos.
"Bubble Lenses" skill

- Revision of inaccurate information.
"This stone is a bomb!" skill
● Made the skill trigger its explosion on downed opponents.
● Changed recoil animation. *Now sends opponents flying even when they are downed.

"Attack!" skill
● Changed command input to "↓↓ + Attack."
- "I'll make you swiss cheese!" is often used repeatedly, so the new command reduces the ease of accidental activation. The input of "Attack!" has likewise been changed.

- This was unintended and has been fixed.
"This is the end! Take this! Metallic!" GHA
● Reduced damage.
● Increased recovery time after the animation.
- Balance change to bring the move in line with other characters, given its combination of applying a status effect, having high damage, and having a quick recovery.

User Mode standing strong normal attack
● Shortened recovery period.
- Improves usability in neutral and in combos.
Stand Mode standing medium normal attack
● Extended hitbox towards the attack's origin.

Father Pucchi
Throw
● Increased speed of forward throw. (No change to backward throw.)
- This was unintended and has been fixed. (Applies common rules that other characters follow.)
"I order you!" skill
● Fixed so the attack shows SFX when activated.
- This was unintended and has been fixed.
"You shall be crucified!" skill
● Increased speed of weak version start up.
● Shortened recovery of weak version.
- Improves usability in neutral and in combos. (If canceled from standing medium attack, the move can combo. If comboed out of standing strong attack being guarded, it can combo the guard. After being guarded, the user has the option to counter the opponent's attack with "It's an illusion." or maintain pressure on an opponent who is aware of that and does not counter.)
● Increased speed of medium version start up.
● Shortened recovery of medium version.
- Improves usability in neutral and in combos. (Makes it able to combo if canceled from standing strong attack.)
"It's an illusion." Skill

- This was unintended and has been fixed.
● Shortened attack startup animation.

Rules for dropping DISCs
● A DISC is now dropped when guarding in addition to taking damage.
- Maintains the character's unique mechanic of sealing the opponents' actions while lowering the difficulty of the opponent's ability to regain recover. (Once a DISC is stolen, the opponent must cause it to be dropped and then pick it up. Making the first step of dropping a DISC easier preserves the uniqueness while improving balance.)
Father Pucchi (Final)
Backstepping
● Shrank hurtbox during activation.
- This was unintended and has been fixed. (Applies common rules that other characters follow.)
"It's an illusion." Skill

- Maintains the character's unique mechanic of sealing the opponents' actions while lowering the difficulty of the opponent's ability to recover.

● Fixed issue where status conditions from before activation were kept afterwards.
