Fighters:
All Heroes
- [Bug Fix] We fixed multiple instances of soft feints and flickers regarding attacks, guardbreaks and dodges when playing within 100 ms latency.
Developer Comments: We hope that by removing the ability to soft feint consistently, these cases will not be exploitable anymore. The outcome being dependent on the latency between you and your target.

Orochi
