« Dragon Ball FighterZ launches system-wide changes for a new season »

A new patch has released for DBFZ in preparation for the game's second season of DLC content, which begins on Jan. 31 with Videl and Jiren.

The new update focuses entirely on DBFZ's system, looking to alter how the game is played instead of taking on individual characters. A big change is the overall reduction of recoverable health—blue life—, which should both shorten the length of matches and also make each instance of damage more effective. There are also nerfs to combos continued after a level one super—heavily decreased damage—and a reduction to the safety of invincible moves by not allowing players to call an assist or Ultimate Z Change unless that move hits.

Notes for the patch are currently only officially available in Japanese, but GREATFERNMAN has uploaded translations to Evernote.
