Legend:
⦁ 2,4,5,6,8 are down, back, neutral, forward, and up respectively; therefore 5B is pressing B without a direction on the stick
⦁ RA is running A
⦁ JB is jumping B
⦁ 6A(A) means that we are talking about the second A press in the 6A string
⦁ Act4A means the activated part of a 4A counter. This can also be seen on command grabs such as Tsunade's Jump A as ActJA.
⦁ GRKnJ and ARKnJ are ground and air attack substitutions; LKnJ is the non attack version
⦁ 5X8 is an example where the move begins with 5X but needs a press of 8 to do something different. This essentially works like 8X, but it is different solely for comboing into the move as if you input 8X and release the 8, you will do 5X. These moves are seen at the first active frame of the move in most cases
⦁ DI: This is on a few air moves. This allows you to hold forward or back as you begin the move to change how your momentum is applied
⦁ Ring: A combo string with multiple options depending on direction pressed

Overall:
⦁ Translation in progress
⦁ Training mode default settings changed: 2P action is 2P control, Chakra recovery changed to OFF, Show inputs changed to OFF
⦁ Training modes updated. 3MC training is now 1v1 training. 1v1 training is now Debug Mode
⦁ Screen doesn't slow down on character death
⦁ Music doesn't stop on pause
⦁ Default option for time changed from 60 to 90 seconds, time options changed
⦁ Stage select screen has diagrams with sizes for the stages
⦁ Unlocks everything by default

⦁ Jump land, throw miss, more hit states can be grabbed
⦁ Turn around is three frames faster
⦁ Dash transitions to run on frame 6 (from 8)
⦁ Overhead throws cannot be subbed for the first ten frames after being thrown
⦁ Backflips replaced with a faster backdash
⦁ Landing face first, small bounce on your back or face, and crumple restores your ability to substitute
⦁ Air and Ground grab breaks have guard frames that guard against normal and special attacks
⦁ Jump land doesn't high crush
⦁ Pressing X no longer counts as an input to break throws
⦁ GRKnJs have at a minimum 17 intangible travel frames and will hit on at least frame 29
⦁ 4As are grabbable the entire duration
⦁ Sleep state (Kabuto 2X) cannot sub until later; resets the combo counter
⦁ Can select which RKnJ you use while in the air. If pressing R, then your character will do the air sub, if pressing 2R then they will do the ground sub
⦁ Getup attacks (Wake Up Kick: Aka WUK) added. If holding A or B on frame 15 of a neutral getup, the character will transition to a get up attack. These are fully intangible for four frames and then immune to mids and highs until the hitbox disappears. They are -21 on block

3MC: (Three Man Cell)
⦁ Z moves do not work so you cannot switch characters
⦁ Characters now switch after KOs
⦁ holding A on entry does the entering character’s GRKnJ, holding B does the entering character’s ARKnJ.
⦁ Certain characters have entrances unique to this mode. Kankuro, in particular, has both attacks exclusive to his entering state to compensate for his unique KnJs.
⦁ 6X supers removed
⦁ New entry coded to fix glitches and issues
⦁ Passive meter gain disabled
