Ed Patch

• Ed released
• Several bug fixes
• Simultaneous Drive Rush activation no longer randomly gives advantage to one player

Key Character Changes:

A.K.I.:

• 2LP - increased range
• 5MP - active frames increased 3 -> 5 (better meaty setups, stronger in neutral)

Chun-Li:

• 5LP - hurtbox expanded downward on startup (more easily counterpoked by low-angled attacks)
• Aerial Lightning Kicks (j.236K) - 20% Starter scaling (weaker punish combo when used to counter Throw)

Dee Jay:

• Funky Slicer (214K~LK) - less pushback on block, larger hurtbox during recovery (easier to pressure Dee Jay or whiff punish)

Jamie:

• Forward Throw - can now hold LP+LK to gain 1 Drink Level (prevents throw loop, but Jamie is still +7)
• SA1 - Damage increased by 100 on regular/Drink versions; less pushback on Hit in the corner
  • 5f extra KD Advantage (allows Jamie to use Drink ender while maintaining oki)
• SA2 - after the install timer ends, Jamie retains his previous Drink Level (no longer resets to DL0)

JP:

• 5HP - expanded hurtbox during active/recovery frames (especially vulnerable to low pokes)
• 2HP - arm hurtbox no longer anti-air invincible (more susceptible to trading on late anti-air attempts)
• Departure (214P/214PP) - 20% Starter scaling; increased opponent's Drive gauge recovery when parried
• Amnesia (22K/22KK) - JP no longer builds Super meter while bombs are active or until combo ends
  • Bombs no longer dissipate Super-priority projectiles
  • Starter scaling (when Bomb starts the combo) - increased 15% -> 50%
  • Immediate scaling (when comboing into Bomb) - increased 15% - > 60%
  • Canceling an attack into SA3 now detonates the Bombs immediately (to prevent bypassing this damage scaling)

Ken:

• 5LP - hurtbox expanded downward on startup (more easily counterpoked by low-angled attacks)
• Forward Throw - More pushback against cornered opponents (can still walk for a throw loop with ~3f timing window)
• OD Air Tatsu (j.214KK) - 7f extra landing recovery on whiff (harder to escape the corner)
  • Collision box expanded so opponents are less likely to jump over this move

Luke:

• 2MP larger hurtbox, 3f extra whiff recovery
• j.214P (when whiffed high in jump arc) has altered trajectory, 7f extra landing recovery
• SA1 wider projectile-vulnerable hurtbox on startup

Manon:

• 4MK - retains greater momentum out of Drive Rush
• SA2 - juggles more consistently; if opponent drops out, their knockdown period is extended (less likely for Manon to be punished)

Rashid:

• 5LP - hurtbox expanded downward on startup (more easily counterpoked by low-angled attacks)
• OD Spinning Mixer (236PP) - now has 5f Anti-Air Invuln (9-13f) after Full Invuln frames run out

Ryu:

• 6HP - triggers proximity guard from farther away (opponent can no longer walk back out of range)
• LP Hashogeki (214LP) - now safe on block (-4 -> -3); less pushback on block (but more pushback if opponent blocks while in Burnout)
• MP Hashogeki (214MP) - larger attack and projectile clash hitbox
• HP Hashogeki (214HP) - less pushback on block; larger attack and projectile clash hitbox
• OD Hashogeki (214PP) - less pushback on hit/block; larger attack and projectile clash hitbox
• Denjin Hashogeki (charge 214P) - less pushback on block; larger attack and projectile clash hitbox
  • OD Denjin Hashogeki (charge 214PP) - damage increased (600 -> 1000)
• Hadoken (236P) - extended hurtbox reduced (harder to counter-poke or punish with invincible attacks)
• SA1 - extended hurtbox reduced (more effective anti-fireball tool, harder to punish with invincible attacks)

Zangief:

• OD Lariat (PPP) - 1st hit combos into SA3 when canceled
  • Faster horizontal movement on startup; 2nd hit connects vs. grounded opponents 1f earlier (for combo consistency)
• SA1 - hitbox extended downward (can juggle and anti-air more consistently)
