With the release of version 1.02 only coming two weeks ago, Namco Bandai announced that they would continue to support us with patches. But nobody could have foreseen the changes for the new patch being released this early! Namco Bandai's community manager, Filthierich, has given us details on the upcoming patch!

Once again, the exact frame changes are not listed in the patch notes. However, many of the changes in the patch have a larger impact than just safety. Currently, there is no release date planned.

NEW CEs?

oh, ivy will just have yet ANOTHER grab...

lol if this was true namco would have given her another grab
 
I got as far as voldo before I realized I was being duped. Shame on me... XD
And the fact that siegfried's not listed is funny in itself. They dont care about him. lol
 
Nice try at a lame April Fools joke.

Now, I've been wondering what's the point of this day, nowadays.
It wasn't lame, but it was pretty obvious. An even better April fools joke would be all other characters that didn't make the roster (Cassandra, Talim, Rock, Zas, etc,.) being "confirmed" as downloadable characters, especially in one dlc pack. There'd be endless tears....

That one was just for you, you know.

That was my first idea, but I figured the tears would be followed by rage that I didn't want to deal with.
 
Grr, I loved this until you made light of my main man Patty-Cakes. Should have changed his to '66B+K no longer hits grounded opponents' and '1k removed'
 
Hildes CE Rings out from anywhere was a very good WTF until my mind said "these guys are fking with you". I almost had a heart attack when I seen guard impacts are removed and, Astaroth grabs are unbreakable.

Then I read Ivy has 5 stances I was like "yes!!" Then someone said April fools..
 
"After 5 hits in a combo, Viola's attacks will deal 0 damage."
haha! Stupid bitch >:)...good one though...had me for a few seconds until I kept reading XD
