[h2]FAQ[/h2]
[h3]What if I paid for access in the past?[/h3]
If you had a Closed Beta Supporter Pass, a Slacker Pack, or a Kickstarter Founders Pack you should have Online Access already enabled for your account. If the game is telling you that you still need Online Access, please reach out to @CAKO in Discord here -> https://discord.gg/rushdownrevolt

[h3]Where can I learn about all the character abilities??[/h3]
We have a placeholder character guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ev-SOW9E8sar6e_MyYivW5pGDmm0Xy7ncSe-YCrw8UU/

In-game guides are coming soon!

[h3]How do I unlock all characters? Do I have to pay for them?[/h3]
No, you do not have to pay for any of the core 12 combatants. They are also all unlocked in training mode, in local play, and even in online custom lobbies. The only place characters are locked is in matchmaking queue to ensure new players have a proper introduction to the game and its characters.

To unlock new characters, simply play matchmaking games and a new character will unlock after every game is played.

[h3]Can I use any controller with this game?[/h3]
Yes! You can use any controller you want. You may need to go into Steam Big Picture mode to fiddle with the settings to get it to work right for you, but all controllers should work out of the box (with a few exceptions - listed below.).

• GameCube Controllers require the Zadig driver. GameCube adapters must also be plugged in before the game boots up. If the adapter is unplugged during the game, the game will have to be restarted.
  
• Nintendo Switch Pro controllers require a special Steam Big Picture mode configuration that will prevent other controllers from working at the same time. Said differently: a single PC device cannot both have a Nintendo Switch Pro controller and any other controller.
  

Next Thursday Rushdown Revolt is entering Closed Beta! But we also have one last treat for you all next week (announcing this weekend during RR Top 8 at Genesis)!

Full details & FAQ below on what you can expect for the Open Beta release this Summer!

[h3]OUR NEWEST PATCH JUST DROPPED!![/h3]

This update includes:

• The long-awaited 2v2 queue is finally here!
  
• A new leaderboard system that showcases players with the highest win count. Win matches to climb the rankings each week!
  
• A major polish pass on bugfixes and performance improvements. The game has never booted up faster or ran smoother!
  

For this weekend only, we are bringing back something very special: Guardians mode!

This 2v2 and 3v3 tag team game mode will be available for queue until Monday, so hop on to Rushdown Revolt now and try it out with your friends!

Bugfixes
- Fixed some instances of XP gained value displaying incorrectly
- Fixed issues with Mastery > Achievements tabs not functioning as intended
- Fixed issue where a default unresponsive track would appear for new players
- Fixed issue where untucked Side-Bar would lock but stay untucked when entering the Fight submenu
- Fixed Zhurong Raven and Phoenix skin descriptions displaying incorrectly
- Various minor visual/interface improvements
- Removed settings button from CPUs in local games
- Fixed issue where Level 10 Mastery Rewards: Player Icon and title did not appear to be unlocked in your inventory even though they were.

Known Issues
- Sometimes your Profile customizations will reset to default.

All Stages
- Combat Intensity has been tuned and updated to line up correctly. All legal stages except for Cyber Skyline now have an Intense soundtrack.

AfiGalu
- Grabs now have the correct distance offset to place the opponent in AnGs hands when grabbed.
- sSp forces and spark cancel windows were erroneously changed during the redesign. The forces have been tweaked and the cancel once again buffers to f12.

Raymer
- sSp orb should now properly clank and give the opponent spark. The clank-only hitbox offset has been slightly increased.
- Some collision logic has been edited on dSp grenade. This should hopefully fix the fake zoom bug.
- Frozen stasis grenade no longer reactivates on opponents shields.

Reina
- Tumble animation has been adjusted to prevent Reina from teleporting to the ground when she gets knocked down or techs.

A hotfix is now live with more fixes to throws on Weishan and Raymer, and Ashani recovery bugs!

Post-Reina Balance Patch 10/19/22

General:
- Fixed bugs related to spark cancels out of throws on Zhurong, Seth, and Weishan.

Ashani:
- Air sSp:
- Blink window is now before the forward travel.
- Fixed a bug where it could hit twice.
- Fixed a bug that allowed Ashani to use uSp twice in the air from the rekka.
- Due to this bug fix, the turnaround followup tech had to be removed.

Reina:

Note: all damage adjustments will not affect knockback calculation, and thus should not affect combo routes/kill potential.

- Now has an animation for her missed tech slide in both stances.
- Fixed a bug where Reina's kunai did not die when eaten by Ezzie. Ezzie dSp now spawns a normal lvl1 Abraxxas when a kunai is eaten.

Blade Stance:
- UAir: Strong hit DI angle multiplier: 1x -> 1.2x

Chain Stance:
- DThrow: Now applies a normal amount of meter gain.
- Jab: No longer has a reverse window on startup (this mechanic may be brought back across the cast later)
- UStrike: Damage: 14/11 -> 12/9
- DStrike: base damage: 9 -> 7
- FStrike: base damage: 8 -> 7
- Fair: base damage: 8 -> 7
- UAir:
- Weak hit base damage: 7 -> 6
- Weak hit DI Multiplier: 1x -> 1.2x
- Autocancel start frame: f25 -> f35
- BAir: base damage 8 -> 7

USp:
- Teleport distance on grab success has been reduced
- DI multiplier: 1x -> 1.15x
- KB scaling: 10 -> 25
- Now only grants 5 seconds of buff (additive) instead of refilling completely

NSp:
- Projectile kick angles on several moves adjusted.
- Grants spark when dislodged from terrain.
- No longer breaks when kicked by opponents.
- Minimum kick force: 12 -> 14

SSp:
- Hit now grants spark.

**Hotfix #2 10/12/22**

The Reina desync was observed to still be happening on the Bloodlust skin. This should hopefully be fixed now.

More Reina bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug where Reina could cancel her chain dthrow before the throw frame with shield.
- Fixed a bug where Reina did not have a grab tech window on her blade stance grab.
- Fixed an oversight where Reina's grab was frame 8 instead of frame 6. Grab is now active f6-7 in both stances.

PATCH NOTES

- Casual Matchmaking has been renamed to 1v1.
- Zippy Respawn has been disabled in 1v1 matchmaking.
- KO zooms should now work as intended.

- Reina:
- Fixed a bug where Reina could not special cancel into sSp in blade stance.
- Fixed a desync caused by Reina sSp.
- Fixed a bug where chain stance ledge attack on the Bloodstained skin had the wrong trail effect.

- Velora:
- dSp can now be plinked with the grab button.

The Smoke & Shadow patch will officially be going live TOMORROW! Prepare yourself for the Maiden of Chains, for she will not live in silence any longer. Tomorrow, we will be releasing all of the patch notes to go along with this new patch, but it will include the following:

• The release of the new character, Reina
  
• New UI updates
  
• A brand new game mode
  
• + much more!
  

A minor patch is now Live on Steam! Including:
- Backend stuff that doesn't affect gameplay
- A minor platform interaction improvement that will allow players to hold diagonal to fall through while grounded or airborne, but not while rushing/wavelanding.

A new hotfix is out on steam!

- EVO codes will no longer show up as invalid.
- Summer Seth is now accessible in game.
(Note: Evo & SSC keychain Holos will be added to the game at a later date but can now be redeemed)


EXPERIMENTAL CHANGE!!!!
For those of you experiencing Valukan related issue
Right click the game in Steam > Properties > General > Launch Options
type -force-d3d11

This will force the game to launch in DirectX11

We do not support this mode, if a bug is found specifically in DirectX mode and not in Vulkan it is not guaranteed to be fixed. Eventually once Vulkan has been optimized on all systems, this workaround will be removed.

This announcement will be informative for players and the *broader game development community* considering NFT technologies. Invite any developers who are considering NFTs to listen in.

After carefully studying NFT technologies for the last eight months, Creative Director Christopher CAKO Kovalik will announce the closure of Metaversus - a platform fighting game concept re-imagined to support NFT technology.

This announcement will include Vortex Games's latest understanding of NFTs and detailed explanation why NFTs have no potential for a competitive combat-oriented game like Rushdown Revolt.

We do Q&A including:
1) Will Vortex ever put NFTs in Rushdown Revolt?
2) Will Vortex ever make a game that has NFTs in them?
3) What does Vortex think of NFTs generally?
4) Do you think NFTs will go away?
5) Will Vortex use blockchain at all?

Patch 10/22/2021 is live featuring minor balance changes, bug fixes, and an update to clanks.

Easily the most innovative platform fighter since Melee. An incredibly deep, rich, and sick gameplay experience. Highly recommended.
In my opinion, the most fun and satisfying platform fighter to ever be attempted. Incredibly smooth movement, infinitely complex combos, ridiculously good netcode, and a fantastic community.
This game is incredible, you will not regret trying it I assure you. Its Melee on crack, and incredibly fun.

The combos are fluid, feel amazing, and has a high skill ceiling. Nothing to lose!
