Patch Notes for v1.3.0

General Changes:

• Rio is now a Playable Character!
  
• Plaza Benavides is now a Playable Stage!
  
• Rio's Theme can now be selected!
  

Gameplay Changes:

• Changed the jump height and weight of all characters.
  This change was added to improve the feel of jumps. This means that all characters land faster after jumping or being launched. As a result, all air moves have also been changed and updated and wil have different timings and properties depending on the move.
  
• Removed various Knockdowns in the game.
  This change is a step towards the eventual final gameplay of Bayani. The game's various hard knockdowns made set-up and wake-up game too powerful. This also made the game feel too slow with all the stops in momentum. Hopefully, this change will accelerate the pace of the game as well as encourage players to find even more ways to approach and attack.
  
• Revamped frame data, hitstun advantage, and blockstun advantage of almost all moves.
  The previous frame data allowed for a lot of moves to be safe on block which leaves opponents unpunished. Now with the revamped frame data, A (light) attacks are safe B (medium) are generally safe depending on range, and C (heavy) moves are unsafe. Special moves differ individually.
  We are aware that players are looking for a detailed Frame Data for the game and we promise that we will eventually publish the data when the game is near completion. Currently, it is difficult to publish the game's Frame Data as there are massive changes to the numbers after every patch. Once the gameplay has stabilized and we have found a set of data that we believe will become final for the game, we will publish the data both online and in-game.
