Hello, Liam here. This update is actually TWO updates for the (free) price of one. Wow! The first update, v3.1.14, is now live in the beta version of Skullgirls that you've been playing with so far. It contains ongoing balance changes for some of Friday's new additions. The second update, v3.1.15, is now live in the championship_series branch. Per community feedback, this is the version of the game that will be used for the upcoming Skullgirls Championship Series qualifiers on April 16th, and the main event on April 24th. You can access it by right clicking "Skullgirls 2nd Encore", then going to Properties... then Betas, then selecting it from the drop down.
Note: The championship series will be held in the "Annie Early Access" version in the championship_series Beta branch, which means Annie will be available for tournament play. Make sure the version number on the lower right of the title screen says 3.1.15 - that means you're in the right place! If you still haven't gotten around to registering yet (it's FREE!) for a shot at this event's prize pool of $2,500, get in quick - sign ups for the first event close in 3 days! With a total series prize pool of $17,500, the sooner you start competing, the better your chances at making it into the final Skullgirls 2021 Championship event.

VERSION 3.1.14 (BETA)

• Adjusted Annie's North Knuckle Slam for strengths M and H against Big Band so that all hits of Sagan Beam connect afterwards.
• Adjusted Annie's Pillar of Creation knockup height and delay on the second hit.
• When Valentine performs Counter Venom as a DHC, she always delivers the level 1 strength of the loaded Vial Hazard instead of the currently loaded strength.

VERSION 3.1.15 (CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES)

• Adjusted Annie's North Knuckle Slam for strengths M and H against Big Band so that all hits of Sagan Beam connect afterwards.
• Adjusted Annie's Pillar of Creation knockup height and delay on the second hit. The following changes need more time to be tested before they're viable for tournament play, so they are reverted for the Championship Series build only.
• Reverted Beowulf to his retail (not beta) version.
• Reverted Valentine to her retail (not beta) version.
• Annie's Pillar of Creation no longer drains the opponent's meter.
