Ground- and air-combo hitbox radii are reduced by 20%.

Air-combo hitbox radii are reduced by 20%.

Press Guard during a forward air chakra dash to cancel into an airborne block with the natural forward-jump animation. This does not grant another jump.

Fixed unintended Strikeback triggers from PTS Shikamaru, TS Shikamaru and PTS Sakura bomb Cover Fire, including bombs released during interruption and their explosions. Main-character bombs retain their intended Strikeback behavior.

In the specified ground and air trades against a forward chakra dash, melee attacks gain a 2-frame recovery advantage at 60 FPS (1 frame at 30 FPS). Ordinary first-hit stun is unchanged.

Cover Fire activations fill the Drive gauge twice as much.

Supports are protected from interruption during their jutsu entrance and jutsu action. Bomb kunai fired through Cover Fire do not trigger Strikeback; main-character bomb kunai retain normal Strikeback eligibility.

Ground chakra-dash speed is increased by 10%. Dash clashes leave fighters closer together. Forward chakra dash recovers sooner against backward chakra dash, while the backdasher can still guard.

Chakra-shuriken travel speed is reduced by 20%. A short delay is added before transitioning from a grounded chakra-shuriken throw into a melee combo; regular shuriken cancels are unchanged.

Fixed a reproduced source of desync during dashes. This addresses that reproduced cause; it does not claim that every desync is fixed.

Controller vibration is disabled while spectating.

Online lobby and profile names are checked by the moderation filter. Offline control-profile names remain private and unrestricted.

Automatic result uploads continue while the game is running, even after the launcher window is closed.

The spectator HUD shows both fighters’ website profile names, and the lobby displays Spectators: N.

Search now defaults to compatible rooms rather than filtering to open slots.

Completed Player Match sets from linked players appear in website history as unrated matches. FT1/3/5/7/10 and Tournament FT1/2/3 rooms show their match type and upload completed sets as rated when both linked players’ reports agree.

The renderer does less repeated work preparing materials. In one repeatable offline heavy-support setup, the lowest measured frame rate rose from about 34 to about 50 FPS. In one three-player online session, the lowest observed range was about 44–48 FPS. These are test examples; results vary by scene and system.

Fixed victory music persisting after a disconnect returns to the main menu.

Controllers now honor background input while the game is unfocused.

Normal jutsu startup reduced by 15%, with equivalent timing at 30/60 FPS. Damage, tracking, projectile speed and recovery are unchanged.

Fixed the main character’s airborne Almighty Push second hit failing after the first hit was substituted. The second hit can now connect or be blocked normally.

Chakra-restoring items grant one free chakra action instead of refilling chakra. The benefit is consumed only when an action activates and cannot stack. Ultimates consume it correctly. Sustained actions receive free activation only; continued drain costs chakra normally.

Added Singles rooms with native character selection and no supports. Singles/Teams are identified during room creation and browsing, and preserved through rematches and Character Select.

Added controller navigation and compact on-screen keyboards for room names, search and passwords. Physical keyboard typing no longer also navigates menus.

Region and wired/Wi-Fi information appear in lobbies; unavailable information shows “Unknown.” The in-game display remains compact: FPS, ping and delay frames.

The game opens on the launcher’s monitor unless an explicit display override is selected.

Added a compact controller keyboard for profile naming.

V2

Corrected regular/chakra-kunai cancels from missed kunai grabs for both affected outfits. Cancels wait until after the projectile disappears and the later recovery window begins; successful grabs remain uncancellable.

V2

Improved range and corrected tracking, including excessive U-turns.

V2

Corrected normal/charged sharks diving into the ground instead of travelling across the arena, with improved tracking.

V2

Removed backward reach from his first combo hit. Being interrupted before grounded chakra-kunai sand activates now cancels that premature attack.

V2

Increased jutsu startup by the equivalent of seven frames at 60 FPS, with corresponding real-time timing at 30 FPS.

V2

After substituting the opening jutsu hit, the defender can guard the remaining attack.

V2

Fixed the side-combo ending into Ninja Move leaving the opponent frozen.

V2

Blocking his awakening-jutsu opener now stops the follow-up instead of continuing to hit guard across the arena. Successful openings still work.

V2

Successful jutsu slowdown now lasts six seconds.

V2

Tilt startup takes 50% longer; affected shuriken travel speed is reduced 40%.

V2

Approximately halved regular puppet-shuriken counts, rounding odd counts upward.

V2

Chakra-kunai count reduced from eleven to six.

V2

Further chakra-kunai stun reduction now also applies to Balance cover fire. Smoothed the recovery animation without restoring the longer stun.

V2

Smoothed the affected tilt animations, with Naruto approximately 5% slower and Zabuza approximately 20% slower.

Balanced and V2

Split the original total damage across its two hits. Either hit now applies knockback independently. Substitution followed by guarding remains available.

Balanced and V2

Corrected unintended body collision during ultimate activation that stopped incoming dashes.

Balanced and V2

Corrected excessive jutsu tracking and the unintended 30 FPS projectile slowdown.

Balanced

Corrected jutsu tracking against the original 30 FPS baseline, with corresponding 60 FPS behavior.

V2

After a blocked first hit followed by Ninja Move, another first-hit attack must wait until the defender leaves blockstun. Restart becomes available immediately afterward, with no additional delay. This weakens repeated pressure loops while preserving on-hit combo routes. Escape opportunities still depend on the character and situation.

V2

Chakra-dash clashes now use 2.2× the original separation setting, giving players more space afterward. Normal dash startup and jump-cancel timing remain unchanged.

V2

Substituting an air-combo hit now uses 1.5× the original requested separation, including first-hit substitutions. This gives more room to react to the return attack. It applies specifically to air-combo substitutions, not every airborne substitution. Normal air-dash speed remains unchanged.

Base and Balanced

Corrected additional projectile travel scaling at 60 FPS, including chakra kunai. Intentional balance differences are preserved.

V2

Increased repeated on-hit air-Spark costs, especially the early Sparks: 2.25×, 2.5×, 2.75×, 3×, then another 0.25× per repeat.

V2

Automatic refill for one-support teams is slower: approximately 23.67 seconds before bonuses and assist-related pauses. Named-team bonuses remain active. Two-support refill timing is unchanged.

Online

Public or password-protected Private rooms.

Online

Visible lock indicator and incorrect-password retry.

Online

Clearer host/room identification, occupancy and availability, plus host/room search.

Clear stale private-room password prompts when leaving the lobby browser.

Online

Improved reconnect handling, lock alignment and themed scrolling.

Online

Corrected results music continuing over menu music after leaving/disconnecting.

Display

Compact FPS, ping in milliseconds and active input-delay frames. Auto displays the selected delay. Unavailable network values show “—”.

Offline

FPS display is available offline too.

Renderer

Corrected the renderer issue that could leave the game black after loading while audio continued. A previously affected player confirmed the fix. This does not cover every possible startup failure.

Base and Balanced

Corrected sluggish menu/character-selection timing in 30 FPS mode.

Launcher / input

Saved Background Input On/Off setting.

Launcher / input

Keyboard-binding editor.

Launcher / input

Controller reconnection/reassignment and secondary-controller profile-handling improvements. Some intermittent controller failures may remain.

Launcher / input

“Save logs” creates a diagnostic ZIP and opens Explorer with it selected.

Launcher / input

Clearer exit codes and accessible full error details.

Launcher / input

Direct3D 12 startup, with saved Vulkan preferences migrated while Vulkan support is deferred.

Launcher / input

Website and Join Discord buttons are being included in the release candidate. Verification from a second account, including both links, is still pending. These are website/community links, not native Join Game or Spectate actions.
