Killer Instinct – Season 2 Launch Update Patch Notes

Today Alex Jebailey, the Community Manager for Iron Galaxy Studios, released the official update patch notes for Season 2. Check it out on the ultra-combo forums or here below:

System Changes:

• Shadow Projectiles that used to count as Enders are no longer able to cash out damage. This
includes Jago’s Shadow Endokuken, Fulgore’s Shadow Energy Blast, Spinal’s Shadow Searing
Skull, and Orchid’s Shadow Ichi Ni San.
• If you use a Counter Breaker, any of your active projectiles will be destroyed. No more using
lingering projectiles for safe Counter Breakers!
• Some characters could counter break from projectile specials that were not breakable. This has
been fixed.
• Fixed a bug that let you tech out of throws during trip guard (your landing recovery from a jump
attack).

Jago:

• Fixed a bug that was causing the 2nd projectile in a double endokuken to have the same data as
the first, resulting in longer than intended hitstun.

Sabrewulf:

• Fixed a bug that was preventing Sabrewulf’s Heavy Hamstring linker from letting him pass into
the corner.
• Fixed a bug that allowed Sabrewulf to use a Feral Cancel to exit a successful counter breaker
before it hit, leading to frozen and strange animation states.
• Fixed a bug that made Leaping Slash and Hamstring openers unbreakable if used after a jump-in
Opener.
• It is no longer possible to avoid breaker windows by using a Feral Cancel.

Glacius:

• This cool customer didn’t get any direct changes/fixes.

Thunder:

• Fixed a bug that caused Shadow Enders to have lower priority than regular Enders, making you
miss them sometimes.
• Fixed a bug that caused Call of Sky’s lightning bolt to hit 4 frames earlier than intended. This
move should be possible to dash-dodge with some characters now.

Sadira:

• Sadira’s juggle normals now cause less KV, giving you a bit more freedom in your juggle combo
paths.
• Fixed a bug that let Sadira circumvent the new “No instinct cancels from enders” rule.
• Fixed a bug preventing Shadow VFX from firing during Shadow Wall Cling.
• Fixed a bug that let Sadira use pre-jump frames to trigger an Ender during Instinct without a
double, manual, or linker before it, which could lead to blocked Enders.
• Fixed a bug preventing Sadira from using Shadow Wall Cling in a combo.

Orchid:

• Reduced damage on opener Ichi Ni San strings. These hit like 3 heavy specials in a row
unbreakable and lead to very high one-chance-break damage.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Orchid from using a counter breaker during landing after a jumping
opener attack.
• Fixed a bug that let the explosion from a grenade lock up the game or hit repeatedly.
• Fixed a bug preventing Orchid from using Heavy Slide linker after an opener Slide when
performed late.
• Fixed a bug that caused the grenade’s explosion hitbox to stay active much longer than
intended.

Spinal:

• Fixed a bug that caused Divekick to knockdown instead of ground bounce in certain situations.

Fulgore:

• Fixed a bug that prevented Fulgore from using a counter breaker during landing after a jumping
opener attack.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Light linkers from blowing out the way other character’s do.
• The kara cancel window for Shadow Plasmaport was still looking for the old input motion of this
move, causing you to miss this input fairly often. Fixed!
• Devastation Beam is no longer breakable as a linker to keep it in line with other Shadow
projectiles.

TJ Combo:

• Fixed a bug that caused TJ to overlap other characters in an unintended way during TJ Tumble.
• Previously, TJ’s Barrage Ender would always deal damage similar to a Lv3 damage ender. It now
deals additional damage at Lv4.
• Fixed a game freezing bug that could happen if TJ was hit out of certain Enders.
• Vortex used to add most of the KV, and Cyclone would add very little. It is now more evenly
distributed.
• Fixed a bug that caused extra hits of Punching Bag to go off without button presses during
Instinct Mode.
• Changed which attack TJ uses after a counter breaker. He now uses Medium Flying Knee.
• Fixed a bug preventing Shadow VFX from firing on some of TJ’s Shadow moves.
• Made the pushbox on Powerline Hit wider to avoid TJ situationally passing through opponents in
the corner if they attack at the same time.
