Bug Fixes
Replay

Training Mode
• Fixed an issue where Akira is set as the CPU, and in "CPU Settings," "Reaction" is set to "Guard and Counterattack 4/Guard and Counterattack 5," and "Throw Direction" is set to ←, a normal throw was being executed.

• Fixed an issue where Jean is set as the CPU, and "CPU Settings," "Reaction" is set to "Counter," it was resulting in a large counter.

Battle Balance Adjustments
General adjustments
・Backdash Counter Stun Adjustment
The total stun duration for backdash counter stuns, which occur when a middle kick-type move hits an opponent's backdash, has been reduced by 24 frames.

・Crouch Dash
For Taka-Arashi's crouch dash, it has been adjusted to enter a crouching state on frame 4, similar to other characters. This allows him to avoid throws with a crouch dash in situations where he is at a disadvantage of up to 5 frames.
