Twenty Strings
Nine new combo strings, each landing with its own look, a count stamped over long combos, and a Play tab that leads with the Gauntlet.
The notes
The combo book is bigger, every string lands with a look of its own, and the Play tab starts where most people want to go.
Added
- Nine new strings. LOW-HIGH, BODY & SOUL, BOOT CAMP, SLEEPER, RUNNING START and AIR RAID, plus three more secrets to find: ENCORE, BIG BANG and STARFALL. They use moves you already have. The book now holds 20 entries, 13 strings and 7 secrets. Found secrets stay on your device.
- Five looks for how a string lands. Each one is drawn its own way: sparks and streaks lifting, the ground taking it, a rush along the hit, a flurry of small bursts, or the whole page blasting. The name is inked over the fight, tilted to match.
- The count, stamped over the fight. Land 8, 15, 25 or 40 hits in one combo and the number is stamped across the screen, bigger each time. It is only a show, it pays nothing extra.
Changed
- The Play tab leads with the Gauntlet. It now reads Gauntlet, Nearby (Home Turf and Join a room), Ranked, then Sparring. Nearby has a card of its own, and Ranked says plainly that few players are online yet and a match can take a while.
- The new strings change what a run scores. Runs played before this update are still counted the way they were played.
