The patching of ASDF9146 has caused a schism.
The Negative Reaction (The "Rumble Refugees"): Within 48 hours of the patch, a group of modders released a "Project Rumble Legacy Launcher" that allows players to downgrade to the unpatched ASDF9146 build. These players argue that the patch "neutered the skill gap." As one Reddit user, xX_Ripple_God_Xx, posted:
"UnitZero just killed the game. We spent 400 hours learning the Ripple. Now the game is just slow punching. Why would I play this when I can play a real fighter?" project rumble asdf9146 patched
The Positive Reaction (Competitive Integrity): Tournament organizers, however, have welcomed the patch. For the first time, they can ban the use of the Legacy Launcher because the patched version (ASDF9203) has a new anti-tamper checksum. They argue that the Ripple was unwatchable for casual audiences and that the new grab meta is easier to understand.

"ASDF9146 was broken. The winner of every major was just the person who macro'd the Ripple the longest. Now, with the patch, reads and footsies actually matter."

On the morning of [insert hypothetical recent date], the developer (known only as UnitZero) pushed a silent update. The version number rolled over, and the ASDF9146 build was rendered obsolete. The official patch notes were sparse, reading only:
"Fixed unintended physics interactions. Adjusted frame data for aerial grabs. Hash updated to ASDF9203."
But the community did not need patch notes. They felt the changes instantly.
