The King of Fighters XIII patch arrives on PSN; Xbox Live to follow

Atlus have today released a patch for The King of Fighters XIII. The game update, now available on PlayStation Network and coming soon to Xbox LIVE, addresses a number of issues, many of which negatively affected the online gameplay:

Ranked Match Filtering: One of the most requested additions, players may now set conditions for their opponent's connection. When a player who doesn't meet the standby conditions tries to enter the Ranked match, a warning message will be displayed and the match cancelled.

Improved Filtering: Filtering functionality in general has seen dramatic improvements. Previously, certain connection data was not filtered sufficiently and the player had a chance of connecting to opponents with poor connection quality. Now, more aggressive filtering should ensure that players are only matched with opponents who meet their filter settings.

Improved Connection Antenna: The computation behind the players' connection antenna, the meter indicating the quality of a player's connection, has been improved, resulting in a more accurate and consistent measurement.

Temporarily Saved Custom Match Settings: Players may continue searching for opponents with the same settings as long as the player remains in the Player Match/Ranked Match menu.

Character-specific Bug Fixes: "NESTS-Style" Kyo and Iori with the Power of Flames no longer become unresponsive under certain circumstances.
