And very few, highly specific nerfs.
While everyone is still talking about the recent events surrounding 2XKO, it's tag-fighter peer in Invincible VS has been going through a pretty rough patch as well.
The game was unsuccessful in capturing a big enough audience, and less than a month ago there were reports that roughly 75% of staff was laid off.
Those who still remain are still working on the game, however, but it's evident that the scope of changes is not quite the same. The latest patch only brings balance adjustments, with a focus on buffing everyone, with only a few nerfs.
