I moved one of my own characters into the new BASTON to test transforming, and i found that you cannot transform unless you are jumping or flying. Ex: my character in base can only jump, so using charge+up doesn't do anything. However, if i use jump, then charge+up, then the transformation works. This only affects charge+up and charge+down though. When i use charge+right for the other transformation, it works fine. And when flying, the transformations are fine. So this bug only happens when the fighter is on the ground. While flying there's no problem, and while jumping you need good timing to transform. Again, this only applies to charge+up, and charge+down. charge+right and presumably charge+left are completely fine.

Thanks. Transformations aren’t back in the game yet. We’re focusing on the basics first: movements, punches, and the recovery.

I’ll revisit that bug once transformations return 😉
