JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Update 1.6 Patch Notes
General Changes
Backstepping
- Standardized the hurtbox area around feet.
- Eliminates differences in ability to avoid certain deployed projectiles (e.g., Ghiaccio’s “Any form of attack stops cold when it hits my ultracold temperatures!” skill) by stepping backwards. *The purpose of this is to remove imbalances in different characters’ ability to escape deployed projectiles while getting up from being downed.
Direction of counter HHA flying
- Adjusted the force that sends opponents flying to the direction the initiating character is facing.
- Under certain situations, when performing a successful counter, the target would go flying in the opposite direction from that suggested by the attack animation.
Guardbreak
- Added damage reduction to combos that start out of guardbreak.
- Reduces the reward for performing a guardbreak while maintaining the ability to pursue that guardbreak.
Damage received during skills that don’t cause the victim to recoil.
e.g. Jonathan Joestar’s “Tackle” special
- Allowed damage taken during rebound protection to receive damage reduction.
- Changed counterstrikes to not occur while taking damage from attacks that do not cause rebound.
- Improves usability in neutral.
Damage received during attacks that do not cause recoil while in Resolve Mode.
- Allowed damage taken during rebound protection to receive damage reduction.
- Changed counterstrikes to not occur while taking damage from attacks that do not cause rebound.
- Improves usability in neutral.
Recoil caused by leg sweep attacks
- Shortened animation lead-in and sped up transition to downed state.
- This was changed due to certain attacks that allow additional attacks on downed opponents to fail due to recoil invincibility.
The pivot line when characters swap positions in the air.
- Resolved inconsistencies between characters’ positional pivot lines and the center of their collision detection.
- Under certain circumstances, when jumping attacks hit the opponent in the back, they were less likely to fall frontward. *This prevents confusion from guard direction working opposite to what is expected.
Collision detection (determines when characters push against each other)
- Removed Stand collision detection during standing and crouching recoil animations.
- Under certain circumstances, when jumping attacks hit the opponent in the back, they were less likely to fall frontward. *This prevents confusion from guard direction working opposite to what is expected.
Crouching recoil animation
- Fixed a rare issue where being hit during the Stylish Guard’s recovery would cause the crouching recoil animation to trigger.
- Ensures that recoil animations are appropriate to the situation.
These are the general changes that you’ll probably notice in the game. The rest of the patch notes are character-specific changes, and there are an incredible amount of changes with them. It’s good to see a balanced game experience with the update. You might need to replan your game strategy after those changes. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is available on Nintendo Switch.
