Skullgirls 2nd Encore April 17 Update Patch Notes
BLACK DAHLIA
- Dahlia will no longer be poisoned if she counters Valentine’s Counter Venom or Vial Hazard
- Dahlia’s Counter, Strike! after image and some aspects of her teleport should now always have the proper PalFX if she is affected by something like Valentine’s poisons before starting the move.
- Made improvements to the reliability of ice shot’s hitstun scaling when used multiple times in a single combo.
- Fixed an issue where Dahlia’s Parting Gift detonation could cause a soft lock during the round reset of 1v1 matches.
- Fixed a bug where Parting Gift’s stagger hit vs airborne targets didn’t have enough hitstun to reliably guarantee the character would land and become staggered before the hitstun ran out.
- Fixed a bug where Parting Gift wasn’t reliably igniting oil and/or the oil barrel when in the corner.
- Fixed visual issues with Dahlia’s Railgun VFX on palettes 8, 28, & 30
MISC
- Fixed some reported typos in Black Dahlia’s story.
- Fixed some missing characters for Japanese news items.
- Updated Dahlia’s TH for the news feed.
- Fixed a small graphical issue with Dahlia’s banners on the various arena stages.
As the developers mentioned, the changes are mostly about the Black Dahlia character. We hope to see more playable content for Skullgirls 2nd Encore. The download size isn’t shared with the developer announcement, but we estimate that the update shouldn’t come with a big size. But it’s also worth noting that the automatic updates feature is a lifesaver.
Skullgirls 2nd Encore is available on PC, PS4,
