Dash Cancel Info Added!
Version 1.7.1 is now live, adding the much requested Dash Cancel info to Frame Data view!

Lastly, the recently added "Leader" icon indicating which unit is currently in the lead is now visible for both players at all times, but grayed out when the unit is not in the lead.
However, they are criminally understaffed! If you'd like to help, just take a look at this roadmap. We have been told that even just 1 new contributor would do wonders!

You can help make the community better for everyone!
Frame Data & Time Control Added in Version 1.7!

FRAME DATA & FRAME COUNTER
Check your favorite character moves Frame by Frame with the Frame Data, and use the Frame Counter to more easily analyze your matches with your friends. No more looking for a specific second in a video, just check on which frame the action happened!
CONTROL TIME
Pause your game, hide the menu and control the match with frame precision. You can rewind or forward time at will, at the speed you want! This feature works not only on replays, but also in training mode.
TRAIN WITH REPLAYS
Lost to a really good player online? Want to avoid getting hit by the combos and setups they did?
No worries, just save the replay, find the specific situation in the match you wish to practice, Save State right before it and take over for the player side you were using!
Now you can practice the same situation as many times as you want!
This revolutionary feature allows you to practice against specific match-ups, players and situations using replays from real matches…
...and once you take over, you have access to ALL training mode features! Have fun!
All these features and much more are available now.
Also, congratulations to Quarantined Rapport 2 Top 8 winners, your names have already been added to the Hall of Fame!
