Beasts of Mystery's latest update, ver 0.0.1.4 is out, featuring new combo options for Flatwoods Monster, balance adjustments for Mothman and much more! I was really hoping to make the roster a bit more level by giving Flatwoods Monster much more to work with for her combo game that puts them more at odds with the rest of the roster. Similarly I wanted to give Mothman some changes that made them much more reasonable as a character. I hope folks take a chance to try out this current build of the game and maybe take it to their locals to try out over there!
Patch Notes
System wide
-Blowbacks can now be special cancelled instead of just super cancelled like they were before. This is true both on hit and block.
-Hitstun and knockback scaling now don't start to apply until one of the following happens
a) the attacker has performed a special, blowback, or super
b) the target has become airborne
-An attack being parried activates the same cancel window that it would if it was blocked or if it hit.
-Fixed a bug that allowed the landing frames of normals to be canceled into the air versions of moves instead of grounded versions
