Sonic Battle Redux v0.1.1

Sonic Battle Redux v0.1.1 is the first public build of Sonic Battle Redux, a DXRKSIGILISM project. It is an unofficial fan rework of Sonic Battle (GBA).

What's in it

• Three fully reworked fighters: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, each with new movesets and Supers (L + R with a full gauge).
• New combat framework:
  • Guard and Perfect Block, Air Dash and Air Dodge.
  • Pursuit, Ground and Wall Bounce with Tech recovery.
  • A combo counter.
• CPU opponents: Easy, Normal and Hard.
• New menus: Mode Select, Character Select, Stage Select, Training Mode, and a new results screen.
• New soundtrack: every menu and every stage, with seamless loops.
• Credits: Options, then SELECT.

The other fighters are shown locked on Character Select. They're planned for later releases.
