Version 1.1.0c

Input Delay Set

Creates a file called kai_delay in the plugins folder. Allows you to set your input delay when facing people online. Default is 2 frames of delay (native netplay delay for DBFZ), can be set between any number of 0 - 10.

Other options include:
off = uses default input delay
auto = Automatically sets the frame delay based recommended delay.
Recommended Delay = Ping\2\16.5 rounded down

Works even against opponents who do not have SHENRON installed

Version 1.0.0a

SHENRON has officially reached it's full release status, while there will still be updates and new additions as time goes, all planned additions have been successfully implemented for the time being. As time goes, more features will be decided to be added from here.

REPLAY TAKEOVER
Take control of either player in any replay, at any point, and play it out from there.

• Select + Left (or F1 during a Replay): take over P1. Press again to end.
• Select + Right (or F2 during a Replay): take over P2. Press again to end.
• Ending a takeover puts the replay back exactly where you took over, so you can keep retrying the same spot.
• Select + Up (or F3): save state. Select + Down (or F4): load state. Works during a takeover too.
• Hold Select to use the normal replay controls (pause, step, etc.) while in a takeover.
• The round timer is restored with every load.
• Takeovers, saves and loads are blocked during KOs and character transitions.

KAI CASUAL MATCH

• Casual Match now pairs SHENRON players only with other SHENRON players, worldwide. Players without the mod can't match into your Casual games, and you can't match into theirs, so no more desyncs against unmodded opponents.
• Ring Match, Ranked and everything else work exactly as before.

SHENRON v0.9.0a

Various Major Bug Fixes

Save/Load state

• Load now restores state through the game’s own rollback functions, so it behaves like the game’s rollback (Thank you @WistfulHopes for pointing me to the Strive Symbols, which were used to reverse engineer DBFZ's symbols allowing this overhaul).
• Fixed the camera crash on Load.
• Fixed the particle crash on Load. Particle effects that were no longer registered in the world are now skipped instead of written back.
• Level 3 doubles (borrowed effect models) now show again after Load. Before, they were invisible or stuck in a T-pose. They now hold the saved frame until the next cut.
• Fixed Z Assist being overwritten by Load. Whatever the pause menu says now wins over the saved state.

Controls

• Save + Load pressed together now resets positions, even if nothing is bound to the Record/Play row in Button Config.

Costume patch

• Shenron now downloads DeathChaos25’s latest DBFZExtraCostumesPatch.asi release. This file will automatically update as new costume patches are released!

Known issues (not fixed)

• After Load, a re-attached Level 3 double holds its saved frame until the next cut. This is visual only and only occurs during the attacking portion of a level 3. Frame advantage, damage, and other factors of Level 3's have all been corrected

SHENRON v0.8.5a

Training mode savestates

• Button Config rows: Save State / Load State / Play-Record Dummy (tap = Play, hold = Record).
  Press Save + Load together for Reset Position. Keyboard: F3 = Save, F4 = Load.
• Beeps: rising = saved, falling = loaded, low double beep = refused.
• Save and Load are locked from the KO ("DOWN") until "FIGHT" comes back, so the camera can't get stuck in the KO close-up.
• Mashing Load is safe now: loads are spaced at least 0.5s apart (a Load pressed too soon waits, then happens).
• Effects are cleaned up on every Load: no more slowdown or crash from spamming Load.
• Resetting Position (Save State + Load State) clears currently held Save States

Rings

• Hosting a ring copies its invite link to your clipboard automatically. F1 copies it again any time.

Other

• Shenron keeps Death Chaos's DBFZExtraCostumesPatch.asi up to date: an older copy is replaced (kept as .old), or it is installed if missing. The new one is used from the next launch.
• If the game crashes, kai_crash.log is written next to Shenron.asi. Please send it in the discord alongside any bug reports.

Known issues

• Loading during a snapback can leave the camera locked. Reset Position fixes it.
• Load brings back the assist that was selected when you saved.
• The red damage trail on the health bar is lost on Load.
• A projectile that had already finished before you Load comes back invisible.
• A Level 3 cutscene model can stay on screen after a Load. Reset Position clears it.
• Very long Load mashing piles up leftover effects. At the limit, Load is refused with the low beep. Restart the training match to clear it.

SHENRON v0.8.0a

New features:

Save States / Load States (Training Mode Only)

Save and load an exact moment in training mode and practice the same setup over and over!

Save State, Load State and Record/Play Dummy have now replaced Play Training Dummy, Record Training Dummy and Reset Position rows in Button Config pause menu respectively, so you can bind them to any button you want!

Save State - Copies the current game state to memory
Load State -Load newest saved game state
Play/Record Dummy - Press to Play Record, Hold to Begin Recording

Screen.Recording.2026-10-13.153722.mp4

Press Save State + Load State together to Reset Position.

NOTE: SHENRON.asi is currently in BETA and is a community effort to fix and iron out various bugs with the new tools. Below is a list of known bugs, please report any more found in the DBFZK Discord!

Known issues:

• Loading after a large camera move can put characters slightly off their saved position.
• Projectiles or particles that weren’t in the saved state can stay stuck on screen until you reload the match.
• Stage changes do not properly reset between game stats (ie Daima Goku Level 1)
• The red damage portion of the health bar doesn’t show after loading mid-combo (visual only, damage scaling and everything else relating to the combo functions properly).
