General (These changes will go live on PlayStation 4 and PC on October 16, and on Xbox One at a later date.)

• When an opponent has been hit by three special “grab” projectiles in a single combo, they will automatically be affected by a spiral hit stun, causing them to be invincible and sent into the air. Players can also counter tag out of these attacks.
  • Affected moves:
    • Spider-Man – LP/HP Web Ball (including air versions)
    • Frank – LK/HK Hammer Throw
• Can perform air recovery in eight directions when recovering from certain unique hits in the air.
  • Affected moves:
    • Dante – Bee Hive
    • Chun-Li – Spinning Bird Kick (including air version), Kikosho, Hoyokusen
    • Chris – Sweep Combo
    • Doctor Strange – Bolts of Balthakk
• Fixed a bug that made it impossible to block during the last frame of crouching block recovery.
• Fixed an issue that caused a connection error to occur when continuously performing successful grabs in an online match.
• Increased throw invincibility during air recovery from 3F to 5F.
• Fixed comboing into another combo using the Mind Surge throw.

• Dante
  • Fixed a bug when taking damage during Tempest that caused Dante’s position to change from the location where he took that damage.
• Captain America

  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to cancel Dark Spell: Creation after LK/HK Purification with Flight.
