With the new system, the moment the shield leaves Cap's hand in each stage, you can immediately sprint without waiting for the impact. Whether you're engaging at close quarters or mid-range, your shield strikes will register reliably. You no longer have to worry about accidentally recalling your shi

Previously, during the 3rd hit, if you entered a sprint immediately after the shield projectile spawned, it would animation-cancel the rest of the throw, allowing you to instantly trigger the 4th hit. However, if you sprint-canceled before the 3rd hit actually struck the enemy, you would lose the th

From a combat feel perspective, in the new version, we acknowledge that because shield tosses and sprinting now run in parallel rather than canceling each other, there is a slight timing difference. Executing all 4 sprint-throws now takes a fraction of a second longer, a difference of less than 0.3s

(Dev Note: Now, when Cap brawls up close, his melee attacks will dish out the same damage as the final four hits of his shield throw combo. By weaving melee strikes with his Leading Dash ability, players can maintain that classic, fluid combo feel without sacrificing close-quarters damage. Plus, pai

VanguardDAMAGE

In the heat of battle, targets are always moving. The old system forced you to wait for the third strike to physically hit the target before you could sprint-cancel into the next throw; otherwise, the damage would drop (the same for hits 5 and 6). The further away the enemy was, the longer you had t
