Overall Changes

Tension Gauge

• Increased the amount of Tension gained when blocking attacks.
• The amount gained now increases more depending on your character's R.I.S.C. Level.
• The amount of Tension gained does not increase for the attacking character when an opponent with max R.I.S.C. Level blocks their attacks.

R.I.S.C. Level

• The rate of R.I.S.C. Level depletion over time is now faster.

Psych Burst

• R.I.S.C. Level now resets when Psych Burst is activated.

Roman Cancel

• Input timing window is now the same when performed with attack buttons (pressed simultaneously) and with the Roman Cancel button.
• There is now an input buffer window when performed with the Roman Cancel button.
• Fixed a bug where the Tension Gauge would not deplete correctly when a Roman Cancel activated simultaneously with the super flash of certain moves.

Hurtbox of 6P

• The height of the hurtbox during startup is now the same for all characters.
  • This has not changed the timing of the hurtboxes lowering, which is still character-specific.
  • Specifically all hurtbox heights are normalised to 2 heights, an initial head invuln height and an upper-body invuln height. Instances of characters having an intermediary above-waist invuln has been normalised to the head invuln height.
  • This change only affects May, Ramlethal, Goldlewis, Jack-O', Chaos, Baiken, Testament, and Bridget. Specifics listed in the character changes.

Proration

• Proration has been added to attacks that did not have it previously, with the exception of certain moves.
  • All normals and specials except for c.S and fully charged Dust Attacks now have 90% proration if they did not prorate previously. Overdrives are unaffected.

Special Moves with Retreating Movement

• These moves now cause the Tension Balance to deplete and the Negative value to increase, similar to back dashes, etc.
