A hidden timer counts down (random between 10- 30 seconds). When the timer ends, the player dies and all players respawn. The "it" player can tag another player by hitting them. The countdown carries over between tags.

Training Mode v1.1

1.1 Changelog:

Feature Additions

• Activated the crash handler. If your game crashes, tweet me a picture of the screen! This will make bugs 100x easier to fix.

• You can now have multiple onscreen displays visible at once. Default is 2 but you can change this with X/Y in the OSD Menu.

• Mid-Event Menu - Displays when paused instead of using theR+DPad combo. Menu is now scrollable and displays up to 3 options at once. The currently selected option is highlighted in yellow.

• Act Out of Tech has been replaced with Act Out of Wait. This will show you which frame you acted out of throws, L-Cancels, techs, grounded attacks, etc.

• Frame Advantage OSD - Added an OSD to indicate how many frames you were able to move while your opponent was in shield stun. It also tells you how many frames your opponent
  was able to move after you landed an attack.

• Combo Counter OSD - Added a Combo Count OSD that will pop up whenever you land more than 1 sequential hit. The combo will continue so long as the opponent
  isn't in an actionable state (grabs, tech animations, jab resets, etc all continue the combo). Multi-hit moves count as one entry in the combo.

• Act OoAutoCancel OSD - indicates frame acted after an autocancel (included in Act OoWait).

• Hold X on any controller during bootup to boot to the character select screen.

Tweaks

• Multiple events now track high scores. Ledgedash event tracks consecutive ledgedashes, highest string in the session is saved as the new high score (assuming its higher than the saved high score).
  In addition to this, SDI Training tracks consecutive successful SDI's, Powershield Training tracks consecutive powershields, Ledgetch Training tracks consecutive ledgetechs and
  Techchase/Chaingrab tracks combo count. The highest score in each session will be saved to the memory card upon exiting the event.
