0.10.0

The changes this patch were mainly focused around improving the sad state of neutral while keeping the game stylish. It also feels a lot better to move around now, and you have to work harder to get combos. Combo damage is overall lower, which is a *good thing*; there are now more opportunities for cool things to happen.

- Movement Overhaul

    - New move: Super Dash

        - fling your character forward on a delay

    - Backward movement options have been reworked to be safer, but with no frame advantage if the opponent chooses a forward movement option

        - The idea is that you use backward movement to beat attacks but lose positional advantage if the opponent does not attack.

    - Dash changes (includes cowboy walk)

        - Dash forward auto-corrects if the opponent goes behind you

        - You can't get initiative out of back-dash

        - Back-dash IASA reduced across the board to 6f

        - Holding dash makes you restart dash again

        - Forward dash has a distance slider and IASA changes based on distance

    - Jump straight up counts as a back jump

    - Dodge Changes

        - Air OK

            - Aerial back dodge has reduced speed

        - Dodge is now projectile invulnerable on startup

        - Invuln length increased (6f -> 8f)

        - IASA reduced (16f -> 14f)

    - You can't flip hold anymore (caused lots of problems)

- Increased DI scaling per hit (x1.2 -> x1.333)

- The minimum damage of an attack is now affected by health scaling (the system where you take less damage when you're at low health).

    - This doesn't affect the impact on combo damage scaling (minimum damage still ignores it).

    - This nerfs damage across the board when the opponent is at low health

- Fixed small UI annoyance with dragging the aim/di wheels

- Most movement icons now update to match the direction your character is facing

- Jump height reduced by 15% across the board during neutral or when the opponent is knocked down

- Fixed jump straight up having different animations depending on which side you're on

- Added customizable ceiling option

- Added gravity modifier option

- Very possibly fixed some more frame 1 prediction errors

- Fixed camera/prediction bugging out on small stages

- Default stage width reduced (1100 -> 800). Experimental change...

- Fixed some throws being counted as 2 hits

- Major desync bug fixed

    - Followup hitstun reduced (16f -> 7f)
