This update is a pretty big one, and quite ambitious.

One of the things that I would like to point out is that despite the visual changes to the Additional Moves guidesheet, they have not been fully updated to represent all of the changes made to each character. This changelog will go more in-depth about the changes, new moves, and related subjects.  Overall, there are a bit of rough edges in this update that I hope to feel out with the help of user feedback.

There will be a future patch for any uncaught bugs that may arise, and to update Move Descriptors and Backstory content. Be on the lookout, as I expect it to be out in the next few days.

General Changes

• Title Screen and Main Menu reorganized. All options are now split between Singleplayer and Multiplayer modes. New dividers separate sections of the menu. As a result, some of the menu descriptions have been changed,
• Survival Mode is now available to play.
• The Vault can now be chosen wherein Players can view character lore. The Vault itself can not yet be entered.

• Credits can now be viewed. This includes credits for the original Super Brawl 1 and 2.
• The Character Select Screen now better distinguishes between locked, unfinished, and planned characters.
• The settings for the CSS have been visually updated. Players can now interact with UI for selecting Artifacts. It currently has issues displaying Artifacts and does not yet work.
• CSS and Intermission both now display Renders using the fighter's Alternate Color.
• Several fighters have received new descriptions on the CSS.
• Announcer now says the name of each fighter selected in the CSS.
• There is a new fighter introductory system. Both fighters will display an introductory animation, and then say their voice lines in-order of left to right. By default, each fighter's introductory animation is just them walking in onto the stage.
• Danny Phantom, Sheen Estevez, Plankton, Dark Danny, and Black Cuervo have new introductory animations.
• Victory music now does not play until the end of the match, and the music is not interrupted in-between rounds.

• Fighters how have Taunt voice lines when finishing a combo, and Super Special voice lines.
• The sound effect used for when objects crash into the floor has been changed.
• Punch combo for all fighters has been altered to be more similar to the original SB games. Fighters now throw out the first punch repeatedly until it hits, which initiates the punch combo. The timing has been changed so that fighters can choose to continue the combo or end it and throw the first punch again.
• If a Super Special is triggered while the opposing fighter is still in hitstun, the hit animation will start over; making it easier to land certain Super Special attacks. It will also reset the combo value counter, so fighters are less likely to be hit into knockdown during this sequence.
• Knockdown State time has been reduced from 2.0 seconds (1.0 Knockdown + 1.0 Recovery) to 1.25 seconds (0.5 Knockdown + 0.75 Recovery). This will make ending combos less annoying for some fighters.

• CSS now can be scrolled through using the mouse.
