Flash Party Beta Server Commencement Announcement
Dear players,
We'll be launching a preview server on 11 Nov, 1500 HRS GMT+8 to begin testing all future game content! In this testing round, you'll get to try the all-new combat mechanics and latest hero to join the Party. Do note that we'll adjust the content based on the feedback collected during this period, so the officially released content may be different than what you tested in the preview server.
Players who would like to participate in the test can learn about the info through this post. Due to limited capacity, we will be limiting players' access to the server.
[New Content]
1. New Hero: Sandy
2. New Combat Mechanics: Shield, Grab-and-Throw, Dodge
3. Soccer Mode
[Battle Adjustments]
Newly added Shield/Dodge/Throw mechanics:
- Trigger Shield by holding down the Shield button and automatically cancel by releasing the button. The character will fall into a dazed state after using it continuously for more than a certain period of time.
- Trigger a grab by swiping the Shield button. After successfully grappling an opponent, you can swipe the D-button to control the direction in which to throw the opponent. The grab ignores the Shield status.
- Tap Shield button in the air to trigger Dodge, which will cause the hero to evade incoming attacks for a short period of time. Tapping Shield while holding a direction on the D-button can trigger Dodge in the specified direction.
- Tap the Shield button just as you hit the ground to trigger Tech (replacing the original trigger operation of swiping the D-button down).
- Tap the Shield button or Grab button to trigger a roll back onto the stage while Ledge Grabbing.
- Adjusted the method to trigger Charged Attacks:
- In mode A, it can only be triggered by swiping the attack button horizontally.
- In mode B, it can only be triggered by quickly tapping the D-button + Attack button (quick-tapp the corresponding D-button + long-pressing the Attack button to charge).
Unified combat logic for all heroes:
- New [Aerial Attack] for all characters (pre-existing ones will not be changed); all characters now have [Front Aerial], [Back Aerial] and [Aerial Attack] moves.
- New small hit status for all characters, which will trigger when an attack is not enough to send the hero falling to the ground.
- Jumping direction on the ground and in the air will remain.
- Removed the ultimate jump, all heroes now have a uniform double jump.
- To ensure a uniform feel, the "small jump" unique to some heroes has been temporarily removed.
- Removed the slide step caused by all characters when attacking.
- Removed the suspension and ending lag after releasing from grabbing edge.
