A new update for Invincible VS has been released by developer Quarter Up to kick off June. This past week, the first major gameplay update for Invincible VS arrived and made drastic overhauls to the game’s various characters and modes, while also squashing a variety of bugs. Now, in the wake of this update going live, Quarter Up is looking to make further refinements to Invincible VS by way of a new hotfix.
Downloadable now, the latest patch for Invincible VS is much smaller when compared to last week’s update. That being said, there are still plenty of important tweaks that have been made, with the majority of the changes impacting specific characters on the game’s roster. Most of these tweaks are tied to specific combos that fighters can pull off, with some now resulting in more damage than before.
Outside of this, Quarter Up has made some more minor overhauls to assists and throws and Invincible VS. The update also includes some bug fixes, but the adjustments on this front aren’t very extensive. All in all, this is a vital update for Invincible VS and should continue to alter the game’s core gameplay in some ways that players will want to take notice of.
To get a look at the full patch notes for this new Invincible VS update today, you can find them attached below.
Invincible VS June 1st Update Patch Notes
Core Systems Updates
General
- Throws (forward & back) will now make the attacker invulnerable
- Push block is now more reliable and should help combat unblockable setups
Active Assists
- Grounded Active Assists (Forward Assist during combo) have been adjusted to visually appear more like overhead attacks where appropriate
- Grounded Active Assists received a consistency pass on height to hit smaller crouched characters
- Grounded Active Assists now have a more consistent distance so that they will not fullscreen overhead in cases of large pushback on block (except Battle Beast whose bloodlust could not be contained)
Motion Controls
- An overall priority pass has been done on special moves when using motion controls so they’re prioritized over macro buttons (dash, taunt, throw, etc)
- The DP > Medium input should now be more consistent (This was a bug with the input buffer on motion 2)
- The second forward input when doing a Manual Dash should now correctly chain into a DP input. (Previously, three forward inputs were required to Manual Dash + DP; Thanks: Chewie89)
- Note that DP motions are prioritized over QCF after a Dash, as with other fighting games performing a full half circle can override this priority
- Made adjustments so back throws (Light + Special) are more consistent
Active Tags
- You should no longer be able to circumvent the Active Tag interaction with Jumping Down Heavy -> Active Tag (Heavy)
