STAGE UPDATE: Ba Sing Se NPCs added - Freedom Fighters, Bosco and the King

BALANCING: Character-specific bonus Flow regeneration is not applied during hitstun or blockstun; affects Kyoshi and Ozai

TRIALS: Additional Ozai trials and tutorials have been added. A few of the previous trials have been replaced.

BUGFIX: Fixed "no hitstop on moves that hit flow-dodge hitbox + point character simultaneously" BUGFIX: Removed screen freeze on low projectile Flow reactions BUGFIX: Fixed projectiles causing screen freeze on Flow reactions at long ranges BUGFIX: Fixed several instances across cast where throwing Unbalanced opponents while also being Unbalanced did not trigger Critical Hit throw

Editor’s Note: These patch notes use numpad notation to denote executing moves. For example: 4 means backwards, 6 means forwards. 236 is a Quarter-Circle Forward otherwise known as a “Millennial Input” according to some people on social media

ART: Korra VFX Helix removed from Final Technique

BUGFIX: Fixing bug with j214A/B forcing Korra to instantly land if done high enough

BUGFIX: Fixed bugged low projectile Flow reaction so it properly puts her airborne

BUGFIX: Fixed bug with projectile flow reaction where one of the variations would play through both exit animations, extending reaction/flow defense time

BUGFIX: Fixed bug with Avatar's Descent (214EX) and Avatar's Path (Avatar's Descent) Followup not causing proper scaling and ignoring infinite prevention during followup 

BUGFIX: Fixed bug with Fearless Critical Hit activating on 2nd hit in a combo, leading to extremely high output situations

ART: Animation for Final Technique has been updated

BUGFIX: Fixing reaction vs low projectiles not landing properly

BUGFIX: Fixed hitboxes not matching on P1/P2 side for Burning Strike (6F>A) and Burning Lift/Launch (6F>B)

ART: Animation for Final Technique has been updated

BUGFIX: Whip Stance B (Kanna): no longer can be canceled against Flow Stance

BUGFIX: Water Whip follow-ups properly apply damage scaling when done from C version. Previously all counted as a singular move.

BUGFIX: Additional bugfix to other scenarios where Sokka would be unable to catch his boomerang

BUGFIX: Toph being knocked off her pillar correctly sets up the juggle timer / IPS.

BUGFIX: Fixed Peacemaker Critical Hit not activating under certain conditions.

ART: Azula's 214ABC fire now starts further than her palm

ART: Her victory poses have expressions on both versions changed to be less exaggerated

BUGFIX: Fixed bug contributing to minor rollbacks during netplay

BUGFIX: Fixed Lo and Li causing behavior oddities on double KOs

BUGFIX: Fixed standing B, crouching B, crouching C and Prodigious Flash not triggering Flow Evade bonus.

Rolling Blaze (Focused: 236A or B): now causes a different Flow reaction animation. Prevents situations where Azula freezes when being hit while Flow reaction happens.

BUGFIX: Fixed strange behavior when hitting Ghazan and Lava at same time with projectile during grounded assist call.

BUGFIX: Opponent will no longer freeze when the kick portion of the throw attack fails to make contact

Editor’s Note: “!” [such as 2C!] means the move is “Boosted.”

- Ozai is now fully animated! However, we kept his 1990s music video slide because we love the fans.

- Backdash now cancelable into crouch on frame 4

- 2F: Now also activates with 1F, where previously 2F could be difficult to perform on reaction without an accidental crouching Boost. Pressing 1B+F should still result in a backwards-Boosting 2C!

2F can't be done until past the halfway point of a Boost, to prevent unintentional Flow Cancels.

- 2A: now 6f startup with Sozin support. 7f for all others

- 5AA: damage -10; hitstun increased

- 2B: startup -1 (faster), horizontal range increased

- 5C: damage -10, Boosted damage unchanged

- 2C: can no longer be canceled against Flow Stance

- 2C!: launch height increased against standing opponents; can no longer be canceled against Flow Stance

- jA: recovery +4 (longer)

- jB: crossup hitbox expanded, active +1; damage -5

- jB!: startup changed to 13/14/15 across supports

- jC: damage -5; after jC has been used once in a combo, subsequent uses of jC will take longer to land

- jC!: startup changed to 13/15/17 across supports; causes a mid-reaction animation against Flow Stance; damage -5

- j8C!: reduced launch height

- 236A (all): startup -1 (faster); will face the correct direction when countering an opponent behind him

- Fully Charged 236B: on hit, stops Boost Gauge drain

- 236C: now causes mid-reaction against Flow Stance; hitbox increased downward (hits most 2Fs). After the Boosted version has been used in a combo, subsequent uses have 1 less frame of hitstun. With Sozin, the Boosted version faces the opponent after hit

- 214X: un-Boosted damage +20 (200); recovery -3 (faster) on landing; if un-Boosted, stops Boost Gauge drain

- 236EX: +1f hitstun and +25 damage on the first hit

- j236A: damage +5 (55)

- j236B: now causes mid-reaction animation against Flow Stance

- j236B!: functionality added; now causes ground bounce, additional damage, and additional hitstop and camera shake on hit

- j236EX: second hit hitstun reduced by 1f; recovery behavior changed: Ozai lands more slowly when he is close to the ground; opponent reaction changed to be left in the air and closer to him to differentiate it from ground lightning

j236ABC: damage per hit increased

Jump-reaction animation from Flow Stance (what he does when he uses Flow Stance against most lows): Lower height for Imperial Firebender and Zhao

BUGFIX: ground throw - correctly does 150 damage now

- Accidental kara throws with Boost no longer drain the Flow Gauge

- Boosts (except Admiral Zhao Support air Boost) have increased glide distance

- Admiral Zhao: Ground Boost time extended by 2f (it is still shorter than other supports)

BUGFIX: fixed damage scaling bug with Boosted attacks

BUGFIX: one-Boost-per-combo lockout correctly resets as soon as opponent begins wakeup animation (or ground tech)

BUGFIX: Bugs involving Boost Gauge penalty for trijumps have been fixed

Behavior of all attacks adjusted against Flow Stance: shorter freezes; frame data should be similar to blocking (mostly, there are exceptions)

Universal Throw Critical Hit: Now causes a new double-bounce reaction

Unyielding: New Critical Hit! Land 214X against an opponent using Flow Stance, or an Unbalanced opponent (causes a higher bounce)

Chosen Moment: New Critical Hit! Land a fully-charged 236B without storing the charge (causes more damage)

Tyrant's Gambit (Sozin): New Critical Hit! Activate a Boost that will Unbalance Ozai, then land a downward Boosting j.B! (grants extra Boost duration)

BUGFIX: Imperial Brand (throw vs Zuko): can only be used once per Round; now properly gives +4 Redemption to Zuko

- jC!: reduced glide speed if preceded by a j.B!

- 236A: startup -2 (faster); now results in an Aerial Throw on successful counter; now can also counter projectiles, which results in a different follow-up attack

- 236B: now gives feedback on fastest-possible cancel

- 214EX: move changed; now is an EX version of Royal Retribution (236A)

- 5C! and 2C!: can now be canceled into a new feint animation by pressing A or B

- j2C!: causes a Ground Bounce on Counter Hit, only against airborne opponents

- 236A: startup -1 (faster), now results in Rift Breaker on successful counter (cannot be Boosted)

- 214X: max damage with Boosted velocity is now 301 (from 320)

- j214X: increased air travel speed when Boosted

- j214EX: increased minimum damage when damage scaled

BUGFIX: Ozai Air Super Technique last hit properly makes the Hard Knockdown UI callout, and doesn't spam callouts against Unbalanced enemies

BUGFIX: Ozai 5C! VFX are properly attached to him

BUGFIX: Super Technique activations now cuts off any Ozai voice lines

BUGFIX: Fixed bug with 5A only having 1 frame of active hitboxes

BUGFIX: Fixed Frigid Snap (j2B) and Fire Fist (Air) (j2C) having active physical hitboxes during some frames, causing strange hit properties

BUGFIX: Fixed Tornado Shot (214X>B) causing Avatar's Fury (236X>B) to lose a projectile when used

BUGFIX: Fixed Avatar's Fury (236X>B) not counting towards infinite prevention

BUGFIX: Fixed Final Technique not instantly defeating unbalanced opponents

BUGFIX: Fixed Avatar's Judgement (236X>C) awarding an Energy Point after EX moves were used in the combo

• As the player continues throughout story mode, CPU difficulty will increase.

• Added major player buffs for first 7 story fights.
