Ground forward dodges that do not successfully dodge an attack now have an additional 10 frames of recovery before the fighter can perform another action; recovery lag on successful dodges is unchanged
Ground forward dodge immunity hurtbox size has been increased to make successful dodges more likely.
Upon a successful hit, victim fighters will now hold their active pose for a longer duration. This will address issues where fighters transitioned into their hit react animations causing attacks to appear to hit from much farther than intended.
Multiple attacks have received hitbox sizing passes, with more coming in a future patch.
Automatic techs that occur near terrain corners will no longer send fighters off the side of the map
Fixed an issue where certain input settings would not properly charge certain attacks.

We have improved Marvin's overall combo game, and made him easier for a newer player to pick up and try. This includes a return to his Neutral Special (Button) being an active part of his kit as a combo starter.
Marvin was also experiencing moments where projectiles would not hit an opponent after dodging it at any time, we are looking into a fix for this in an upcoming patch. Neutral special has been adjusted to address part of this issue in this patch.

Tom & Jerry
A majority of Tom & Jerry's focus revolved around using Up Attack as the all or nothing attack option due to its reward for hitting, and also Tom & Jerry's lack of other safe approach tools outside of zoning. This led to gameplay in which passive play was the primary choice until you could find a hit with the Up Attack.
With this patch we have adjusted the Up Attack to prevent loops into itself, and resetting with jab. We have also improved their gameplay to allow more unique exploration of the kit with new combo routes.

Fixed a bug causing RP calculation to read inaccurate skill ratings
Defeating players of a higher tier than you now has a higher minimum RP gain before MMR is accounted for
Losing to players of a higher tier than you now has a lower maximum RP loss

Base progression in lower tiers has been toned down a bit as there are now multiple mechanisms to accelerate high skill and experienced players
Matchmaking favors games with players within a single tier, but may still fallback to two tiers
Pre-made groups are assigned their MMR by the strongest player for both placement and RP calculations
Raised the target MMR for Master
Master I players will decay RP for inactivity
