3.7 - Some Stuff
Note: Had to do a couple of quick patch reversions - if you are experiencing issues with playing Suitcase online, try unsubscribing & resubscribing.

BALANCE
The following changes were made to bring some of Suitcase's moves in line with the base cast moves they're based on, per the latest official balance patch 2.1.4.0.

FTilt
- Hit 1 Hitpause: 10 > 10+0.5
- Hit 2 Hitpause: 6+0.5 > 6+1.0

DTilt
- Hit 2 width: 44 > 64
- Hit 2 moved slightly inward
Decided not to add the additional hitbox that Elliana received, it looks like the chief purpose of that hitbox is being able to hit the mine and I didn't think Suitcase DTilt needed to cover the additional space.

Nair
- Damage changed on each hit: 6, 6, 6, 6 > 4, 4, 4, 8
- Hit 1: Moved closer to Suitcase's center
- Hit 2: Moved closer to Suitcase's center

The balance changes listed below are experimental.

Jab
- Slightly reduced horizontal boost distance of Jab2 and Jab3.

FSpecial
- Reduced maximum cap of horizontal speed when double jumping out of Side Special by about 30%.
- Can be jump cancelled on frame: 30 > 24
- Horizontal speed now decreases over the course of the move, especially when transitioning from airborne to grounded
- Drift hit (attack input) now slides forward a greater distance.
- Normal Hit Angle: 50 > 45
- Drift Hit Hitpause: 8+0.5 > 9+1

- Mini icon adjusted
Pandora MK-7: Added very slight screenshake when reaching full charge
Bair: Normal tip hitbox size and position adjusted to be more precise for the Gotehorn unlock

QoL
HUD:
- First item is now displayed from the beginning of the match
- When more than 20 items are owned, icons begin to fill into a 3rd row (at the time of writing, this only occurs in Abyss Mode)

- Fixed a bug where horizontal max speed was set too low for the first usage of the move
- Fixed a bug where after performing a carhop, horizontal max speed could be too low for subsequent uses of the move

3.6.5 - Riptide Readability Hotfix

Adjusted "Crystal" color for Riptide alt so that Down Special's shine VFX are more distinct from the main color of the body for readability purposes

- Back Air now features a second hitbox at the tip which is identical to the first and has no bearing on gameplay, except:
- Gotehorn: Now unlocks after hitting an opponent with the tip of Back Air, instead of unlocking after completing 7 double jumps.

COMPATIBILITY
- Henry Stickmin: added death quotes
- Po & Gumbo: may or may not have added some unmistakably Bayou cuisine

MISC
