Changes

New Features ✨

• Party Mode 🎊 (#456)
  • Introducing the first new mode to Slippi Online since Teams, Party Mode! This new matchmaking mode will feature FFA with items and random stages that change every week. Check out the party mode tracker to see what items and stages are on deck for the current and upcoming weeks!
• If a player disconnects from an active multiplayer game they will now despawn. This allows the game to continue with the remaining players. The group will disband once the game completes.
• On a disconnect or desync, players will automatically get booted out of the current game after 90 seconds in all modes.
• Can now connect to teams mode with 3 players. Use a code which ends in “%3” to do so. This is a stopgap solution until we (hopefully) have something better.

Bug Fixes 🐛

• Fix music slider not enabling/disabling properly (8168200)

Other changes 🛠

• Prevent ISOs known to desync from queuing unranked/ranked/party mode (#452)
• On the VS splash screen, the local player will now always show up on the left (#456)
• Delay frames text in the bottom right now has transparency applied (project-slippi/slippi-ssbm-asm#146)

Known Issues 🔍

• Soft lock if a player disconnects and you're controller is plugged into your adapter on the port they were playing as (i.e. they were P1 and disconnected while you were plugged into port 1 of your adapter). Hit ESC or Alt+F4 to get out of the game.

Changes

New Features ✨

• Ledge Grab Limit of 45 now applies during timeouts
  • If the game goes to time and exactly one player has exceeded 45 ledge grabs, the player over the limit loses and is shown a FAILURE game end screen. The winning player will see a SUCCESS game end screen.
  • If both or neither player exceed the ledge grab limit, normal timeout rules will apply and both players will see TIME game end screen.
  • This screen will display in Ranked, Unranked, and Direct. If you are using Direct to play a tournament that doesn't use LGL or uses a different value, simply ignore the game end screen and/or check ledge grabs in the launcher replay stats.
