Traintracks Combat Patch 4/20


Hello! First of all, thank you to everyone who has bought Traintracks Combat during the last few days. This game has already exceeded my expectations, and I am so excited to have players now.

This is the first Traintracks patch!  The game is complete, but there may be more patches and updates whenever I feel like it. Download the game through the itch.io app for automatic updates!

Today, we have some changes to Barnacle Bill Roddy's Harpoon Grab, as well as some improvements to training mode! Here's a showcase video:

Full patch notes:

  1. Barnacle Bill Roddy's Harpoon Grab (anti-air grab): This move feels really great to use, and it is a great addition to his kit, but it is far too easy to spam this move in a combo  (including back-to-back grabs). During development, I made various changes and nerfs to try and limit its power in combos, so that Barnacle Bill's other moves can shine too. However, the issue still persisted until release, and I have finally decided to just limit the move to once-per-combo. In return, I have reverted many of the nerfs I had made, and now the move feels much nicer to use overall.
    1. Can now only be used on an enemy in hitstun once per combo. If the move is used again, it will whiff, and the defender will show a "Combo Grab Escape!!" notification
    2. Slightly reduced startup
    3. No longer applies knockback to Barnacle Bill on successful grab
    4. Groundbounces higher
  2. Groundbounce changes: Groundbounces were also nerfed previously in an attempt to bring Harpoon Grab down. This change reverts that nerf, improving all groundbounces (notably Mrs. Hive's Stinger divekick)
    1. Groundbounce height no longer scales with knockback scale
  3. Training mode improvements!!!: 
    1. Added Frame Advantage display (note: frame advantage is approximate and could be slightly off due to rounding errors)
    2. Added display for if you have used Combo Grab yet
    3. Added block modes: Press Down + Start or Escape to cycle the block mode of the training dummy between Nothing, Everything, and Random.
  4. Ultra-widescreen support: The game will now scale better and be playable at ultrawide resolutions (tested at 2560x1080). 16:9 resolutions are still recommended.
