As a summer of action packed majors and grassroots events comes to a close, we're taking this opportunity to make some cool changes across the cast. Read on for the full notes below.
- Holding special will no longer count as holding jump during a wall cling.
- The purple kill effect now ignores Kragg's pillar and rock (necessary for optimization).
- Dspecial cancel can now drift during the initial flip if Zetterburn's horizontal speed is low enough. This allows you to gain speed after momentum is killed by hitting a wall, but does not affect normal Dspecial cancel.
- Orcane can now drift during the endlag of non-teleport Uspecial.
- Dspecial cooldown between dropping the puddle and spawning bubbles reduced from 60 > 30.
- Uspecial now has a minimum speed boost on startup. Orcahop is exactly the same, but using Upsecial without upward momentum is much better.
- Fstrong sourspot KB scaling decreased from 1.1 > 1.0.
- Fstrong hitboxes moved to match the visual.
- Fstrong sweetspot size increased from 10x10 > 12x12. This makes sure the sourspot doesn't reach farther forward than the sweetspot.
- Rockless Nspecial KB Scaling increased from 0.4 > 0.55.
- Rockless Nspecial endlag reduced from 6 > 4.
- Super clone will now switch to evade mode when his target is invincible.
- Non-super clones will now be destroyed when the real Forsburn is hit (unless it has already started exploding with Dspecial).
- Fair hit lockout reduced from 4 > 0.
- Fspecial ledge snap threshold increased from 13px > 20px.
- Aerial Fspecial dash speed increased from 12 > 14.
- Uspecial speed boost when holding left or right after rising increased from 2 > 3.
- Aerial Dspecial's endlag can now be cancelled into Fspecial.
- While moving horizontally, Uspecial snaps to ledges within 16px.
- Double jump, airdodge, and walljump are no longer refreshed when touching the ground while moving with Uspecial or in between the two movements.
- Pressing down while reopening Uspecial will no longer lock you out of fastfalling the next time you cancel Uspecial.
- Ori can now drift during the startup of Dspecial.
- When Spirit Flame does no knockback, it will no longer overheat an enemy Sein or remove Shovel Knight's dynamo charge.
- You can now hold backward to throw the bubble behind you during grounded Dspecial.
- Ftilt and Jab-special swapped. Pressing special after jab 2 will now do a tail swipe that spawns a petal wave, creating grass behind it. Ftilt now shoots a low-angle seed.
- Dtilt hit 1 (both hitboxes) knockback matched to hit 2 (so that hitting an extended hurtbox with hit 1 and missing with hit 2 won't be so punishing).
- Fstrong post-charge frames decreased from 12 > 8 (full startup: 18 > 14).
- Fstrong multihits hitpause decreased from 4 > 2.
- Uspecial bite Base KB decreased from 10 > 9.
- Uspecial bite KB scaling increased from 0.85 > 1.05.
- Fspecial active frames increased from 3 > 4 (makes it less likely to pass through someone moving toward you while also making it easier to parry for the opponent).
- Fstrong endlag increased from 18 > 20 (27 > 30 on whiff).
- Air acceleration while charging strong attacks reduced from x1.0 > x0.5.
- Dspecial mine now makes a sound when hit out of the air.
- Ghost Glove endlag when shooting more than 2 projectiles increased from 12 > 24.
- Uspecial non-sweetspot damage reduced from 6 per hit, total 18 > 5 per hit, total 15.
- Uair repeating hits active frames increased from 2 > 4 (no more empty frames between them).
