• Midair jumping reworked.
• Fixed horizontal momentum when holding forward.
• Horizontal momentum now decreases by 30% if no direction is held.

• Projectiles can now respond to receiving “damage”.

• Hitstun gets boosted by 20% when meteors (angles 270-290) hit grounded foes and a special sound plays.

• Removed the artificial 5 frame dodge/spotdodge delay that kicked in after spot-dodges.
• When using a homing attack, the homing target is now cleared when the attack initiates.
• It is now possible to enter turn animation during the first frame of skid so turning is not frame perfect.
• Additional tweaks to turns to behave more like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
• Characters with moves that allow them to be grabbed during intangibility frames can no longer be grabbed during the move if invincible via revival or starman.
• Characters using alt costumes will revert to the default during screen KOs if fullscreen and quality is set to software mode to prevent lag spikes.
