CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.2.7

  • Fixed animations for other players in multiplayer; fixed Luminous Shot and damage-source items.

1.2.6

  • Added a link to the Discord.

1.2.5

  • Fixed Gamabunta's oil sometimes covering the camera.

1.2.4

  • Fixed a one-frame ponytail flick when Sage Mode ends.
  • Smaller download and faster loading.

1.2.3

  • The No Headband skin now stays headband-free in Sage Mode: the forehead protector and back scroll no longer reappear when Jiraiya transforms.

1.2.2

  • New skin icons: the Default skin now uses Jiraiya's character icon, and No Headband gets new art.

1.2.1

  • The Legendary Toad Sage passive now uses Jiraiya's character portrait as its icon.

1.2.0

Skins

  • New skin: No Headband, STORM 4's alternate Jiraiya model without the forehead protector and back scroll. Sage Mode still uses the Sage model.
  • New skin icons for Default and No Headband.

Voices

  • Japanese and English voices now have their own Voices row in the loadout, below Skins, instead of being skins. The character select line plays in the language you pick.
  • If you had picked the old English voice skin, you keep English voices and the Default look.

1.1.0

Sage Mode charge

  • The 2.5 s Sage Mode charge now only builds while you stand still. A bar under your crosshair shows your progress.
  • You can still run and sprint with your hands in the seal: the charge pauses (the bar shows STAND STILL) and picks up where it left off when you stop.
  • Getting hit never pauses or resets the charge. Being frozen or stunned pauses it (the bar shows PAUSED).
  • Press C again to cancel: the charge is lost and no cooldown is spent. The 80 s cooldown still starts when Sage Mode activates; Sage Mode still lasts 45 s.
  • Gamaken now arrives when the charge starts building, and you can't be hurt while it builds.

Toad Oil Bombs

  • New oil bombs: Jiraiya spits a glossy glob of amber toad oil that wobbles and drips through the air, then splashes into the oil puddle. The Clay Dunestrider jar look is gone. Damage, range and the oil and fire combo are unchanged.

Fixes

  • All of Jiraiya's attacks now hit everything that isn't on your team, including neutral stage objects.

1.0.1

  • Fixed the X and C extra skill keys: they now start on X and C (no more F2 and =), the keys shown in Settings are the keys that work, your own rebinds save and keep working after relaunching, and Jiraiya no longer changes the default keys of other mods that use extra skill slots.

1.0.0

Initial release.

Jiraiya, the Toad Sage

  • Full STORM 4 model, animations and voice lines, with Japanese and English voices selectable as skins.
  • Double jump and wall running as his passive.

Normal kit

  • Toad Sage Taijutsu: palm strike, sweeping kick and hair strike into a 900% Rasengan.
  • Toad Oil Bombs and Flame Bombs: oil coats enemies and the ground, and the next volley ignites it into burning ground. The M2 icon switches between oil and fire to show which shot is next.
  • Gamakichi: launch into the air while Gamakichi guards the area with hopping slams.
  • Wild Lion's Mane: living hair restrains and gathers up to 10 enemies.
  • Summoning: Gamabunta: a crushing arrival, an oil barrage and a sweeping tanto strike. Gamabunta turns to face enemies behind him.

Sage Mode

  • A 2.5 s transformation you can sprint through: Gamaken stands guard while Ma and Pa land on Jiraiya's shoulders.
  • 45 s of the Sage kit with +30% movement speed and no ordinary fall damage; your other skills refresh as it begins.
  • Frog Kata: three heavy strikes into an 1100% Giant Rasengan.
  • Sage Art: Goemon: oil, wind and fire combine into a river of fire.
  • Demonic Illusion: Frog Song: Ma and Pa's chant, using the anime's Frog Song audio, paralyses ordinary enemies within 35 m and heavily slows bosses.

Effects and performance

  • One shared oil and fire system: oiled ground and enemies burn when Flame Bombs or Goemon reach them.
  • Performance-optimised Rasengan and Goemon effects for smooth frame rates during big fights.
