Shadow is 10/9/6 with new items:
Chaos Spear-Knock your rivals out of the way with powerful spears of Chaos Emerald energy!​
Meteor Crash-Call down electrically charged meteors from space to shower down onto the track!
Chaos Control-No matter how fast they are, no rival can keep up with a teleport!

Movie Shadow's event details were released this morning. His event runs from 12/12 (Thursday) to 12/26 (two weeks after, long event!). Obviously he is a challenger.

Sonic Dash has received an update that contains a Beyblade X login bonus. No news on anything Forces related, however the possibility of a collab is high.

Deadly Spears - Damaging spears pop up out of the ground – jump over the short one!

Bonus Missions are for DHL, Lancelot, and Vampire Shadow. Challenger mode is currently up, however it's incredibly rare so don't bank on getting too many chests.

Warrior Shadow is a 10/9/5 challenger (!) with 3 new items:
Chaos Flame Sword - Throw this sword augmented with chaotic flame and create a pool of lava for your rivals to contend with!
Chaos Boost - Fly down the track and rush past your enemies! Slam down while flying to create an explosion!

A few days ago, Warrior Shadow's kit details were released in-game. His event will last from 11/12 to 11/21 (9 days!)

Dulce Amy is a 9/6/6 special with 2 new items;
Sweet Roll (proj.) - She’s on a roll! But your rivals won't be when they’re knocked over by this pastry!
Sugar Rush (boost) - Speed down the track leaving treats in your wake, rivals should be careful since these donuts aren’t as sweet as they look!

The Dulce Amy event had been announced in the newsfeed. The event runs from 11/5 (tomorrow) thru 11/11 (next Monday. 6 day event 🫠).

Oni Mephiles' event is live. Typical 10-40 drops and 100 extra cards in the vault.

Side note - challenger mode has either had a reduced rate of appearance or I'm just incredibly unlucky

Via the HARDlight discord server we have new details on various updates to the game. Emeralds have been confirmed to be f2p obtainable, and the tutorial has been updated, among other things.

Stalking Onibi: Deploy a mischievous flame in front of your opponent that keeps them grounded if it hits!

The Oni Mephiles event has been announced in the newsfeed. The event runs from 10/28 (next Monday) through 11/5 (the Tuesday after).

Earlier today, HARDlight released the "Journey" system. It operates essentially as a milestone progression system. Currently the system is bugged, so it is unadvised to claim your missions.

Additionally, a new vault "tutorial" screen has been added.

2 days ago, SFSB went into maintenance for version 5.1.0. The following bugs were patched (including the long awaited Idol Shadow fix), along with a patch that fixed the reversion of the newest balance patches seen from version 5.0.0 on 9/26. No news on upcoming balance patches.

Sonic Dash will debut the long awaited Oni Mephiles on Sunday, 10/20. He will not join the Forces roster until at least 10/27.

The newest update to SFSB reveals a new currency for the first time in the game's history since party tokens: emeralds. According to text in game: these will be used to purchase special rarity characters. No further details have been revealed at this time.

Starting tomorrow is the teased "Rapid Recap: Frights!" event. The following characters will rotate on a daily basis:
Mummy Knuckles
Reaper Metal Sonic
Werehog
Witch Rouge
Vampire Shadow

Bonus missions is Warlock Infinite. Event runs from 10/18 to 10/27.
