Genki Break now has a linux build, so now it should run natively on Steam Deck or any other SteamOS device!

Other than that, Waen's 6K was nerfed. It's launch height on OTG was decreased so it's not as easily loopable on a downed opponent.

[b]It's finally happening!

Genki Break will be hosting it's first ever official online tournament this Tuesday on November 25th, 7:00pm CST.[/b]

This tournament will be free to enter, double elimination, and has a starting $50 prize pool!

A lot of small bug fixes have been rolled out this past, this patch represents all of them.

Adjusted collision behavior to remove the small player bias.

"Random Block" training option now works as intended.

Changed Lumber Combo Trial 5 to make it possible after the October Update.

Mike's Lipstick Toss input is read properly on P2 side.

Sho's idle stamina regen has been fixed, making his trait function as intended.

Sho's Raging Demon now has a screen freeze effect and does 5000 damage instead of 6000.

Sho's Raging Demon puts him in Enraged state for the rest of the game. Removes his trait and his ability to Raging Demon.

"Block After" training option will now properly block one frame gaps.

Sho's Focus Step > K followup hitbox has been lowered and brought back a small amount.

A few moves in Trial mode had their Input Names adjusted to be the correct input.

Spending the last of your stamina while getting up will no longer trigger the round end count down.

Thanks to "chef" for finding most of these! Also thanks to the Discord for their suggestions!

I think that's it. Enjoy!
