Title screen build number 39986

General

• Added a 4th digit to the hits counter; new maximum is now 9999!
• After running up and attacking, characters now stay in place until the player's combo fully ends instead of running back to their idle position after about half a second. Should help with combos.
• Hitting a sprite that's being grabbed now correctly deals armored damage to the victim without liberating it from the grab. Fixes a LOT of things.
• Fixed a sprite culling bug - stretched sprites are now properly displayed onscreen even if their origin is offscreen.
• More environment fixes!
• More credits fixes! We even sped them up so the end-game credits are a whole two minutes faster! And here you thought the excitement was dying down...!!!!!!!!!!!
• Upgrade/Ringsel info line at the top of Party Select no longer cuts off the end after you have enough upgrades/Ringsels to make the text really long.
