The Interrupted Recovery FX has graduated from Test Features into the live game! When a player's Recovery attack is interrupted early in its duration, it can be difficult to register that the resource was spent. We have added a visual and audio cue that highlights such situations, enabling both players to better respond.
- After testing this feature in Experimental and several major tournaments, the extra information it provides was found to be a great benefit to the game for players on either side of the exchange.
- If your Recovery attack was interrupted you can quickly try to adjust your path back to the stage, but if you interrupted the opponent's Recovery attack this is your signal to press the advantage! Stay alert for this flair especially during edgeguards to improve your combat prowess.
Celebrate the holidays and get your Snowbrawl on at 150% damage! Face off against 3 other Legends in this 3 minute FFA. Score 1 point for hitting someone with a snowball, 3 points for getting a KO, and lose 1 point for being KO'd. Most points at the end wins!

- For 144hz monitors, UnlockFPS now caps at 62 as higher numbers seemed to cause too frequent of garbage collection. Still remains a beta feature accessible on PC only by command line (-unlockfps).

- Big Crystal Temple has been added to the Free-for-All Queue and the “FFA,” “Big,” and “All” map sets.

Gameplay
- Fixed a rare bug in Bubble Tag that could change your hurtbox shape while in a bubble.
Animation
