Patchouli Knowledge - Touhou Challenger Pack 3

Description
Patchouli Knowledge brings her elemental magic to Rivals of Aether in the third Touhou challenger pack, concluding the collection. Don't forget to download her stage, the SDM library!:

You can see the rest of the Touhou Challenger Packs by clicking on the link to the collection above.

Patchouli is a zoner, through and through, who can use a wide assortment of projectiles derived from different elements to keep her opponents at bay. She has a projectile for just about everything - even long distance combos! However, she is physically weak, with slow movement speed, light weight and subpar framedata in close quarters, so you can expect to lose stocks quickly if you allow yourself to get rushed down.

Tips:
-Patchouli has a fifth special move! Press parry and shield at the same time to use it. Also remember it can be jump cancelled! This move is very important for keeping foes away!
-Patchouli has an accelerating 'floaty' double jump, like Absa, so you can hold jump to keep rising while doing an attack.
-Forward Air and Back Air shoot projectiles that do 'polite' hitstun - meaning they only do hitstun to foes already in hitstun.
-Up Special makes you immune to projectiles. You can do a short version of Up Special by pressing the button lightly (useful if you want to quickly use the wind).
-Dash Attack can be jump cancelled at the end if it hits.
-The distance of Down Special can be adjusted by holding forward / back at the start of the move.

Also has support for the Dracula Boss Stage (by Harbige12) and MT. Dedede stadium (by Smiley_The_Stickman).

No, Down Air doesn't spike.

Please remember to post feedback on balance and any bugs so that I can make improvements.

This is a derivative work of Touhou Project. Patchouli Knowledge and Touhou belong to Team Shanghai Alice / ZUN. Sprites belong to Twilight Frontier and ZUN (but the stage was drawn by myself).

Can u fix her Down-B and Down-Smash not working if she's near (or not exactly near) a ledge? :(

I'm Sorry, i did some labbing and it seems to be a Chad's Gym Specific bug. Shot in the dark, the reflection on the glass is bugging out on the move. Since its a stage specific bug i would just avoid the Stage.

@Aqahar2 I did some testing but I wasn't able to find a situation where up special would crash the game. Was it something to do with another mod you had installed? A more detailed description of the problem would help. You could also try un-subscribing and resubscribing to this mod again and see if there was just something wrong with the files for some reason?

@Aqahar2 Up special crashes the game? Oh shoot, wasn't like that when the character originally came out, must be something that changed within Rivals recently. I'll see what I can do to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for informing me.

Up special crashes the game. other than that the character is rather well made. obviously she is slow and big so she becomes combo food but i would expect that from a 100 year old anemic
