Bal-Bas-Beta is firing on all cylinders!



We have some exciting news to share today; firstly, Bal-Bas-Beta, the Clockwork Guardian, joins the cast of Yomi 2, and we’re also adding support for French, Chinese and Russian languages (with Japanese, Spanish and German coming later).

Bal-Bas-Beta, the Clockwork Guardian



Bal-Bas-Beta is a clockwork automaton created by Max Geiger. It is rumored that Geiger found a way to communicate with an ancient race who possessed technology beyond our own, and that perhaps some of “BBB”’s design is from another time period entirely. General Onimaru contracted Geiger to mass produce clockwork soldiers to bolster his ranks, but those automatons don’t possess the same degree of sentience and personality that BBB does. BBB hopes to someday reunite with Geiger and learn the true nature of his creation and his purpose.



BBB’s archetype is the classic, runaway zoner. He has several ways of pushing his opponent to “long range”, and while he’s at long range he can recur his powerful special attacks to control the pace of the fight. His Keep Away ability recurs easily and prevents him from taking damage at long range while he’s spamming special moves, including a special throw that works from long range, breaking the usual rule of “no throws”. He doesn’t do much damage outside of his Super I (which can’t be used at long range), he has a limited ability to Dodge and his Throws are slow. If you can find your way through his steady barrage of projectiles, rocket punches and extensor grabs, you might stand a chance of taking down this plucky automaton!

Language Support



We’re working hard on adding more language support to Yomi 2; today we’re finished with French, Chinese and Russian languages and Japanese, Spanish and German are on the way. We hope that expanding the pool of available languages helps grow our community and give more international folks the chance to enjoy our game!

June 12th, 2024 Patch Notes



New Yomi 2 update; we’ve added one new character and language support for multiple languages! Read more about it below:

June 12th, 2024 PATCH NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW CHARACTER



—Bal-Bas-Beta, also known as BBB, is now available to play. He's a robot who uses keep-away tactics and is extremely strong when at long-range, but he does have one super move that he can use when close.

MORE LANGUAGES

—In addition to English, the game now fully supports Chinese, French, and Russian

Bug Fixes

—Master volume slider now mutes music/sounds at zero volume.

—The backspace and arrow keyboard key icons are no longer displayed too low in the button help.

—Fixed bad combat-reveal animation (missing reveal of the opponent's card, missing all on-openers-revealed UI animations) when an on-openers-revealed effect causes the combat to end prematurely. (Surprise Gift, Keep Away.)

—Fixed a bad Career mode tweet trigger for winning or losing against bacon&eggs at specific locations, which could trigger the wrong win/loss tweet.

—Grappling Mastery (Midori Ability) is no longer legal to play when Midori has no throw cards in discard. (Because then it would do nothing.)

—Fixed crash when choosing random select in online friend matches.

—Fixed Lum's Gimme a Jackpot ability so that it actually reveals the hand cards shown in the game log to the opponent.

—When Bigby's Jail super kills the opponent as an opener, the game no longer plays the Jail super movie twice.

—When a super dodge or super block kills the opponent, the game no longer shows its movie twice.

—Fix to known-hand-cards: When you exchange to fetch a second known copy of a given card, your known-hand-cards will now show two of that card, not just one.

—When Lum's item card Coin comes from a move whose hit was prevented (it dealt no damage because of Invisible, for instance), then that Coin will no longer incorrectly deal 6 damage.

—When Onimaru has the green gem storm active, his Martial Law super is now always considered to be level 3, and using it no longer drains his meter.

—Fixed some gamelog events such as "Hand Limit: Can't return Low Block" occasionally losing their text.

—River's stat/strategy card now correctly says that Bladestorm goes to Finesse stance, not to Hyper Finesse stance.

UI Improvements

—The AI is better able to value dealing lethal block damage, and lethal damage mixups in general.

—AI River expects attacks much more often while in Finesse Stance, and thus no longer mashes Counter Lunge (Finesse 4) quite as often
