The game update, now available on PlayStation®Network and coming soon to Xbox LIVE®, addresses a number of issues, including online gameplay experiences:
- Ranked Match Filtering: one of the most requested additions; players may now set conditions for their opponent's connection. When a player who doesn't meet the standby conditions tries to enter the Ranked match, a warning message will be displayed and the match cancelled.
- Improved Filtering: filtering functionality in general is dramatically improved. Previously, certain connection data was insufficiently filtered and the player had a chance of connecting to opponents with poor connection quality. Now, more aggressive filtering should ensure that players are only matched with opponents who meet their filter settings.
- Improved Connection Antenna: the computation behind the players' connection antenna, the meter indicating the quality of a player's connection, has been improved, resulting in a more accurate and consistent measurement.
- Temporarily Saved Custom Match Settings: players may continue searching for opponents with the same settings as long as the player remains in the PLAYER MATCH/RANKED MATCH menu.
- Character-specific Bug Fixes: NESTS-Style Kyo and Iori with the Power of Flames no longer become unresponsive under certain circumstances.
- Additional refinements, fixes, and more!
Three DLC characters are also available from PSN and Xbox LIVE: Iori with the Power of Flames, NESTS-style Kyo, and Mr Karate.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII out now on PS3 and Xbox 360.
