Update history

1.0.4/ 1.0.0

• Near hit base knockback (60 → 47), making it connect more reliably into the second hit (especially against floatier characters).

1.0.6

• The near hitbox now always launches opponents in the direction Link is facing (Angle flipper: 0 → 3), making it connect more reliably into the second hit.
• The near hitbox now uses a static extended hitbox, giving it more range inside of Link.
• Near hitbox size (3.4u → 3.2u).
