ROBO OH News

Input

● Added common right-side joy axis as a means to input Up, Down, Left and Right

NOTE: This change was reverted in 1.24

Thank you everyone for playing ROBO OH! This small update fixes a sound bug, further improves the CPU experience- which will be most noticable on harder difficulties, and balances and corrects some abilities. In particular, most non-Overdrive projectiles have had their blockstun and pushback reduced.

Bug Fixes

● Fixed bug where most BGM channels got stuck at a modified volume, if the game was reset via the program menu while a round was ending

CPU Opponents

● CPU opponents are now wiser about attacking during wake-up, or when an opponent is directly above their head, or when an opponent is playing very defensive

● CPU opponents may now try to do jumping attacks earlier into their jump

● CPU opponents are now wiser when choosing to do an Overdrive special

● CPU opponents with a standard projectile are now more inclined to engage in projectile wars, while those without a projectile are wiser about finding ways around

MEGASTAR

● Reduced blockstun on Light and Heavy versions of Moon Shot High and Moon Shot Low from 20 to 5, and pushback from 10 to 5

NEKOGAMI

● Light, Heavy and Overdrive versions of Drop Kick now correctly hit high and must be blocked high

DRAGONOH

● Reduced blockstun on Light and Heavy versions of Blue Fireball from 20 to 5, and pushback from 10 to 5

● Reduced blockstun on Light and Heavy versions of Yellow Fireball from 20 to 10

MASAMIOH

● Reduced blockstun on Light and Heavy versions of Sushi Toss from 20 to 5, and pushback from 10 to 5

MAXCYBER

● Heavy and Overdrive versions of Cyber Drop Kick now correctly hit high and must be blocked high

● Reduced blockstun on Heavy version of Cyber Moon Shot from 20 to 5, and pushback from 10 to 5

● Reduced hitstun on Heavy version of Cyber Spin from 30 to 20

● Reduced hitstun on Heavy version of Cyber Combiner Dash from 35 to 25

Thank you everyone for the warm reception that ROBO OH has received since release. This small update fixes a couple of bugs, improves the CPU experience, and balances a few characters.

Bug Fixes

● Fixed issue that re-processed hit and KO data if an opponent who had already been knocked out was hit again. Subsequent abilities will now always miss a knocked out opponent

● Fixed bug where the victory screen did not reset properly, if the game was reset via the program menu during victory screen. The victory screen should now disappear

CPU Opponents

● CPU opponents can now act more quickly after coming out of hitstun or blockstun

● CPU opponents' behavior against an active projectile has been modified slightly

MASAMIOH

● Reduced invincibility on Super Masami Drop from 33f to 12f, and maximum damage from 230 to 200. Removed invincibility from non-Overdrive Masami Drop specials

This should give the opponent a better chance to counter or trade these strong abilities on a read, and more appropriately balances Super damage considering its unique auto-targetting property

NEKOGAMI

● Reduced size of hitbox for Drop Kick specials. Reduced size of hitbox and expanded lower hurtbox for Jumping Heavy Attack

This should give the opponent a better chance to counter or trade these strong abilities on a read

Input Device Improvements

● Keyboard Input: Start and Select have been swapped. [V] now pauses the game, and [C] functions as select and Light + Heavy Attack. This should reduce accidental pauses

● Gamepad Input: Default mapping for Start should now be mapped better for common brands such as XBox, Playstation and Nintendo. Pads with fewer buttons can still be configured manually in the program menu

● The mouse cursor is now hidden if hovering over the game screen

Feature: Program Options Saved To File

● Added feature to save program menu options to file upon exiting the program menu or the game. Screen, CRT Filter, Gamepad Config, and Dialog Language are saved

Feature: Japanese Dialog Language Option

● Added feature to toggle in-game dialog language between English and Japanese, which can be accessed in the program menu. 'Daisy' added to credits for Japanese translation

Hello!

I hope everyone is enjoying ROBO OH. Below are the next updates planned for the game, which are general program related:

● Keyboard Input: Swap default mapping of select and start. Pause is often being pressed by accident due to the current placement

● Gamepad Input: Improved auto mapping for specific controller types, such as XBox controllers

● Languages: Add option to display in-game story dialog in Japanese

● Program: Add feature to save program menu choices to file

The early player experiences have been valuable, and I'll continue tailoring the game to it as much as I can. A couple of infinite combos were fixed right away, and I will try to stay on top of those updates too.
