- All “Jail” stats have been RESET aka “clean slate”
- Fix to bug where BOTH players would go to jail on disconnect
- Adjusted percentage rate for match disconnects that will cause the user to be sent to jail.
Spinal Fixes
- Fix for Spinal teleport causing crash/ de-sync in corner against back dashing opponents.
- Fix to manuals being unbreakable after using the dive kick as an opener
- Fix to counter breakers not being accessible when using a divekick as an opener.
- Fix to second Spinal divekick snapping to ground if you do it while opponent is still in reaction from first dive kick
- Fix bug with Spinal skeleport linker not crossing up correctly
General Fixes
- Users no longer lose points when losing a match in Survival Mode
- Fixed an issue where progression data would not save. All user data, items acquired, etc. should now save properly.
- Potential Fix for Ultra audio glitch (may still happen and needs more investigation).
- If you perform an ULTRA COMBO in-game, you automatically win the match. Players who disconnected while their opponents perform a match-winning ULTRA COMBO, will take a loss on their win/loss stats.
- Fixed an issue where players would soft-lock on the character/stage loading screen. This issue has been resolved.
- The character select option from “Replays” has been removed

Season 2 needs to hurry the fuck up!
Poll currently being taken on if there's demand for a PC port: http://www.ultra-combo.com/forums/in...84797#msg84797
I honestly wonder whether Microsoft realizes that they're going to totally tank the XBone if this goes through. Probably the worst knee jerk reaction to a PS4/PC only SF5
Um, despite what some of us might think fighting games are still a niche genre. Killer Instinct is insignificant in the overall picture of the Xbox One
I mean I guess that they still have Halo and Sunset Overdrive for exclusives.
^ This. A bunch of loud minorities hooping and hawing over a game doesn't make it anywhere near as influential, profitable or as prioritized as shooters played by all of the great white hopes of tomorrow.
I had the opposite reaction. I showed my family a hype video to show them where I went and they were pretty intrigued by it lol
Wait, people think Killer Instinct is a big deal exclusive for the X1? Wat.
Correct. Their options are either 1) make a PC port which could salvage the competitive scene aspect of the game (which IG would like but is not likely something that would make MS a bunch of money) or 2) not spend the time or resources and hope sales trickle in from casual players that just wanted Halo.
Either way it's not going to make or break anything for the XB1.
Street Fighter V not being on Xbox is kind of a big deal. The series will always attract casual attention because it's goddamn Street Fighter. But any other fighting games series outside of Mortal Kombat or Tekken being exclusive to a specific console isn't a very big deal because they're just not big sellers compared to the top dogs.
