Version 0.7.7 is now released! This patch brings animation system improvements, visual fx updates, and new universal mechanics! Read the full detail changelog here Animation System ImprovementsAdded sub-frame animation interpolation during hit stop for the attacker and defender.

Momentum can carry passed an attack that gets used, allowing moves to hit farther than before and the possibility of combos that were not possible from a stand-still. Hit SparksAdjusted various hit spark positions. Jumping Normal Attacks Many jumping normal attacks have had their animations, active frames, frame advantage, hit/hurt boxes adjusted. Should make the air game a bit more nuanced. Hit Sequences - SpinAdded "Spi…

Had to make some changes to how the resets worked but they should functionally work the same.

Not super useful but it should allow players to work on their hit confirms after a block. When set to auto block, training dummies will now block correctly after an air reset (similar to stun / wakeup). Previously they would never block. Added new display option for "Frame…
