Invincible VS Mid-Season Patch Notes 07.30.2026

Log out and update your game!

What’s up FGC! We hope you’ve been having a super-powered time with Invincible VS Season One so far. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the developing meta since Universa and The Immortal joined the roster and are back with a fresh gameplay patch right off the heels of an incredible Top 8 showing at VS Fighting XIV (congrats to Jads on bringing home the Conquest Gauntlet!)

Major changes include

Combo Meter Increase
Boost Dash Cancel (Air) Buff
Air Conversion Buff
Balance changes to a handful of Fighters
Various Bug Fixes

Get all the details below!

Gameplay Systems

Overall, we wanted to give players more freedom in the combo system, so we’ve loosened up the combo meter to allow for more exploration. Combos will be longer and it will be easier to explore routes with a single character.

We also increased air reaction time so that it’s easier to connect with follow up hits against airborne opponents, and we are now allowing flying characters to perform multiple air specials if they utilize boosted dash cancels.

We also wanted to give more options to the player when recovering so there is no longer an automatic air recovery or air wall splat recovery, both need to be inputted by the player to trigger the recovery.

Lastly, Assist Breakers are very powerful and we wanted to increase their risk a little. Now once they are used, assists will not start health regen for 10 seconds. This will leave them with a lot of red health for longer.

— Dave Hall, Game Director

Combo Meter

Combo Meter has been increased by 20% for all combos
Lowered the Combo Meter buildup on various “crowd control” effects (Ground Bounce, Splat, etc)

Assists

The Fighter used for an Assist Breaker now takes much longer before they begin to regenerate red health

Recovery Options

Airborne opponents are now in hitstun 10 frames longer before Air Recovery is possible, which should allow more consistent air conversions
Air Recovery options are now always manual and require a player input
- These two changes should make converting a stray hit in the air into a combo more consistent
Air Wall Splats now have two additional recovery options
- Forward Air recovery allows you to air tech with more height and forward momentum
- Air recovery from wall splat is now manual and you can willingly slide down the wall (especially useful against chain command grabs)
Fixed a bug where inputting a dash could cause a faster ground recovery than expected on a few different moves

Boost Dash Cancels (Air)

For characters who can Boost Dash Cancel in the air, performing a BDC will allow you an additional special and/or boosted special move without touching the ground.

Fighter Changes

Allen the Alien

Fixed an issue where it was not possible to Counter Tag Allen’s Heavy Active Tag on the ground
