Cannon Update
We have made several balance adjustments to the Experimental Cannon kit focused on giving an appropriate amount of risk to match the increased priority of these attacks, while also bringing the potential reward in line with its new utility and ease of use. This has resulted in slightly longer Recover time and slightly less Stun on these experimental attacks, allowing greater gaps for counterplay in the neutral game and more opportunities to escape extended strings.
- Experimental Cannon Neutral Light: Decreased Stun from 27 to 25; Increased Recover time on miss from 1 Fixed/9 Variable to 2 Fixed/9 Variable.
- Experimental Cannon Side Light: Decreased Stun from a range of 30~25 to a range of 29~24; Increased Recover time on miss from 0 Fixed/10 Variable to 0 Fixed/12 Variable.
- Experimental Cannon Down Air: Changed Recover time on hit of the aerial version from 3 Fixed/0 Variable to 1 Fixed/6 Variable.
Soft Platform Quality of Life
In continuing to experiment with Soft Platform Quality of Life improvements, the startup of a Dash that snaps to a platform is now the same as a normal grounded Dash for consistent timing and quicker action. We have also added two new test features centered around Dash interactions. Previously, players could only drop down through a soft platform during a Dash by pressing Down with no other directional inputs. Players may now drop through soft platforms during a Dash without needing to let go of any other held directions. Diagonal inputs and rolling Down inputs will now trigger a platform drop during a Dash. The second feature we have added allows for greater air control when a Dash runs off of a platform and includes dropping through a soft platform during a Dash. These features should allow for more fluid interactions with soft platforms and grant players greater freedom of movement
- Added to Test Features: Made it easier to drop through a soft platform after dashing.
- Modified Test Feature: Reduced the startup for a Dash that snaps up to a soft platform to be the same as a grounded forward Dash
- Added to Test Features: Increased air control just after Dashing off of a platform
Gameplay
- Hattori Neutral Spear: Improved FX transition before the teleport.

The new Legend rotation for this week includes: Thatch, Yumiko, Ulgrim, Sentinel, Isaiah, Fait, Val, and Brynn.
- Thatch – The tournament is a paradise of chaos and fire for this Madman of the Barbados as he uses Sword and Blasters.
- Yumiko – Holding the appearance of a blind seamstress, this centuries old fox spirit has been brought into battle wielding her Magical Hammer and Bow!
- Ulgrim – Equipped with flawless Ivaldi creations, his Axe and Rocket Lance, the legendary blacksmith forges his way into battle!
- Sentinel – The first and greatest costumed superhero in America has come to Asgard, finding those who need protecting and vanquishing injustice with his Katars and Grappling Hammer.
- Isaiah – Major Isaiah Marshall, OEL’s special forces commander is at your service. He utilizes Cannon and Blasters with the help of his drone, equipped with a cloaking device and rockets at its disposal!
- Fait - Speaking to the stars and using glimpses of the future, Fait battles for good with her Scythe and Orb!
- Val – An android assassin with terrifying strength and quicker-than-light cognition, Val is a force to be reckoned with when utilizing her Sword and Gauntlets.
- Brynn – Competing for the pure joy of it, this Valkyrie has seen many victories due to her skill with the Axe and Spear.
2v2 tournament map pool:
The Axe Neutral Light now has less time between its swings, bolstering its ability to capitalize on dodge punishes while reining in its team setup potential. We have also increased the Recover time on two of its widest attacks, the grounded Down Air and the Ground Pound, to better fit their sizable threat coverage.
We have increased the Stun of the Bow Down Light, allowing for greater variety in combo follow-ups across most Dexterity values.
The setup location of the Katars Neutral Light has been adjusted for improved reliability in follow-ups, especially when the opponent's dodge is on cooldown.
The Rocket Lance Recovery now has slightly longer Minimum Charge time to better match its priority and force. For this reason, the exhausted Recovery has also received an increase in Time to Hit.
Ada's Neutral Blasters has received an increase in Force to bring its reward more in line with its required precision.
Cassidy's Neutral Blasters has received slightly increased Damage for better reward as an anti-air.
Hattori's Neutral Sword now has greater Force to better suit its anti-air and edgeguarding nature, while Hattori's Down Spear can more readily score on-stage knockouts with increased Force and more horizontal knockback.
Thor's Side Hammer and Neutral Orb have proven too quick for their potential reward, so we have increased their risk in the form of greater Recover time. Thor's Side Hammer has also received greater Minimum Charge time, affording players a better chance to dodge or interrupt this attack.
In the Experimental queue, we updated several attacks in the base Cannon’s move set to be more intuitive, feel more explosive, and maintain the current flow of the kit. You can even check out these test features by enabling them in Custom Lobby options. 
We added a new map to the Free-for-All queue! The test map "Circus" has now become "Big Miami Dome.”
