Alright, so there was a new update, and some things changed and were fixed...and others...well, I'll get to it.

First, SR portraits have been changed to pictures from the anime. Small change, but it's there.

Second, apparently, according to the changelog, it is now possible  to invite friends to matches. This means we can now challenge each other here on the wiki, which I, personally, am looking forward to.

Third, the Limited Time Battle Road has been changed to the one described by Callmemike a few posts up.

In terms of balancing, there's a sentence I'm having a little trouble deciphering from the translation, but I think it says that it has been made easier to generate shoot blocks during corner kicks which, if it is true, is a GODSEND. On a smaller note, the phalanx formation has been adjusted.

As for bug fixes, there are a few, one of which actually caused a problem for a lot of players. Let's start with the other ones first, though. The first fix made it so that even if the connection of ones opponent is slow, the animation of the players will be smooth. Not sure how that's possible, but still pretty awesome.

They also fixed an error where a player's icon would be unselectable in the formation menu. I had this happen to me a few times, so I'm glad to see this fixed.

Finally, there's one that has had...questionable effects. So apparently the game had a bug regarding how much exp was required to level hissatsu up. Essentially, people were leveling their moves up faster than they were supposed to (that's what I gather, at least). And that's all well and good. What's the problem? Check your characters. There are not one, but two things you should notice. First, characters that had Chou or A level hissatsu will probably be back at Shin or V3/V4. Second, at least for me, my characters' equipped items were gone. Personally, I enjoy levelling hissatsu, so I don't mind the fix much, especially since they gave out Gashapon Tickets as an apology, but the missing equipment items did make me a little mad...unless they're in the inventory.
