They apologized (again)
They will refund everyone who bought the beach DLC and make it a free addition to the game, admitting it was tasteless that they made paid DLC when the game is in a broken state
They will focus on base changes and better modding tools before starting to make more DLC (previously announced DLC has been delayed to 2025)
Console release delayed

Honestly, this is a good update. It's everything we wanted to hear. Looking forward to buying the game when it gets fixed.

Sure, but that was iterative, like Super Street Fighter II Turbo, as opposed to making Street Fighter III. Wherever they go with Smash from here, it will involve a systems rework and fewer characters.

Wouldn't say it's that iterative since most characters play differently from their past versions.

But honestly, I wouldn't mind less characters in the next game, melee is old as fuck and the meta is still changing with the few characters it has.

The ways that they play differently are a few numbers tweaks and occasionally a new animation. It's not the difference between Melee and Brawl or 64 and Melee.
