v1.31 - Balance Update (yes this is an "edit" of the last update)

u = units

Changes:

* Down Strong *
- Reduced base knockback (8 -> 6)
- Reduced knockback scaling (1.0 -> 0.85)
* Adjusted launch angle (150 -> 130)

* Up Special *
+ Increased vertical speed when traveling straight upwards (17u -> 18u)
+ Increased vertical speed when traveling to the side (12u -> 13u)

v1.31 - Balance Update

Changes:

* Down Strong *
- Reduced base knockback (8 -> 6)
- Reduced knockback scaling (1.0 -> 0.85)
* Adjusted launch angle (150 -> 130)

* Up Special *
* Can now no longer be angled, and will always send Cuphead straight upwards

v1.30

Change:

* Disabled code that checks for Training Mode due to it causing the game to crash when loading certain stages, namely the "Eye of Cthulhu" Boss stage

Addition:

* DASH - By pressing TAUNT while in the air, Cuphead will do the same dash that he does in his own game, being great for making a horizontal recovery. The reason it's bound to TAUNT and not anything else is to reduce workload, keeping simplicity of the moveset, and prevent it from feeling too awkward.

* The dash will be refilled under the same conditions as USPECIAL, being by touching the ground, being put in hitstun, and performing a wall-jump.

v1.26 - Slight Balance Update

f = frames

* NSPECIAL (Spread) *
- Decreased knockback on fingertip hitbox (8 -> 7)
- Decreased lifetime on fingertip hitbox (3f -> 2f)
- Decreased damage on fingertip hitbox (5 -> 3)
* Adjusted horizontal launch angle (50 -> 361)
- Added "hit lockout" to fingertip hitbox, meaning the opponent cannot be hit for a period after getting hit by this hitbox (36f)

It was reported that this specific hitbox made the Spread shot way too strong, almost being able to deal 70% of damage in an instant with almost no effort
Let me know if it's still too strong in the "Balance" discussion thread, or via Discord

Changes:

- Now cannot gain super meter while Chaos Orbit (Chaser FSPECIAL) is active
