Update History

3.1.0

• Neutral attack 1 and 2 can be canceled into a special move for a longer amount of time.
• Neutral attack (heavy, close) deals drastically less knockback (70 base/70 scaling → 25/15) and sends at a slightly more horizontal angle (85° → 80°), making it a much better combo starter even at high percents.
• Neutral attack (heavy, far)'s second hit deals more damage (6% → 10%) with knockback compensated.
