• Lobbies now wait for characters to load, this should fix the "mod mismatch" issue
• Adjusted sound effect for all level-1 supers (think of them like EX moves...)
• Added some global freeze frames on hit/block. Shouldn't affect gameplay at all. The goal is to make full-speed replays a little more watchable and satisfying.
  • You can turn it off in the options if you want, for now.
  • Might break some modded character cutscenes?
