System-level fixes ensure proper scaling for attack and defense stats in Positive Bonus states, while gameplay smoothness has been enhanced by resolving responsiveness issues in specific scenarios.
Looking ahead, Arc System Works has acknowledged lingering issues slated for future updates. These include directional inconsistencies in Ramlethal’s sword attacks, unusual movement speeds with Dizzy's Ice Field, and display glitches in Guilty Gear Strive's Training Mode damage data, among other issues. An announcement regarding the timeline for these fixes will follow, reflecting the studio's commitment to continuous improvement.
