v0.388 adds a new DLC fighter to the roster, as well as fixes a rare game crash and overhauls the fighter stats system from a 5-point scale to a 10-point scale for better differentiation of fighter stats visually for the player.

MAJOR CHANGES

Fighter stat scale changed from a 5-point scale to a 10-point scale for better communication to the player of the stats of one fighter compared to another. Fighters with stats of ratings 9(A), 10(A+), and 11(S) are color coded on the fighter select screen, fighter info widget, and continue screen

NEW FEATURES

You can now change the select screen roster type by pressing the Up key on the top row of the select grid and choosing a roster type
