v1.7

additions
- added screen shake on taunt.
- changed screen shake on laser.
- added a tiny weak hitbox for nspecial when n/a puts its hand out. it was a random weird idea but it might be fun
- made it so if you hit an opponent into the uspecial "lingering slash" line, if the opponent is in hitstun, it activates much quicker.
- steve message
- feri costume
- tco scribble

changes
- lowered grounded nspecial jump.
- delayed got-hit bubble cooldown by 1 frame so that you can't just hit n/a in the same frame you hit the bubble and remove bubble

-- -- beneficial
- reduced endlag on nspecial by a little bit (nspecial actually has a separate cooldown and it's untouched)
- reduced landing lag on nspecial by 6 points (18 -> 12)
- reduced bubble beginning cooldown by 10 frames (35 -> 25)
- quickened uspecial "lingering slash" normal startup by 3 frames (13 -> 10)

- dair first hit and second hit damage both increased by 3 (2 -> 5 and 5 -> 8, full dair hits would be 7 -> 13) experimental?

-- -- counterplay
- added friction on ustrong, making DACUS (dash-attack-cancelled-up-strong) much less ridiculous.
- dash attack 2nd hit damage lower by 1 (9 -> 8)

notes
- i reduced nspecial endlag stuff big time because i figured if people were to spam it, they'd be predictable enough for you to parry them anyway. hopefully. i was a bit afraid about this though, i'll be cautious on this
- damages used to be kinda based on AR's damages where i was very scared to increase damage too much. maybe harder damages like this helps.
- i wonder if the angle changes works for the better.

v1.6

additions
- dash attack now has an additional hitbox at the beginning. (experimental)
- training mode-exclusive "visualizer mode" and "NADEV" info mode. down + taunt + parry to activate it.
- there is now a bit of a delay before bubbles can act, after you summon or slash the bubble.

changes
- increased the color of the "cooldown grey" inside the bubble.
- other bubble frames have also been adjusted to have the cooldown grey to reflect the "startup cooldown" added as written in additions.
- increased max fall speed in dspecial charge. (4 max fall speed -> 6 max fall speed)

fixes
- fixed the issue where parrying N/A's uspecial doesn't put N/A into parry stun.
- fixed the issue where getting hit by things that doesn't deal hitstun still put the bubble to cooldown. (yes, this was not intentional. sorry!)
- fixed the issue where slashing multiple bubbles at once sometimes halted your momentum.
- bubble cooldown won't be overridden if it is in a cooldown already (e.g. if it's in a longer cooldown, but n/a goes inside to give a shorter cooldown to cancel it early - that is fixed now)

balances
-- -- idk
- utilt hitbox optimized/tweaked
- utilt non-sweetspot base hitpause increased (7 -> 8)

-- -- beneficial
- dstrong charge startup decreased by 2 frames (6 -> 4, total 20 -> 18)
- utilt sweetspot damage incrased by 1 (10 -> 11) (experimental)

-- -- counterplay
- uspecial charge release startup increased (4 -> 11)
- increased the range of which the bubbles enter cooldown. this can (kinda) be seen in the new training mode only visualizer feature.
- bubbles' explosion hitboxes are smaller now. this (hopefully) means by being as far as possible while exploding the bubble, you may have a chance of not getting hit.
- as written in additions, there is now a bit of a delay before bubbles can act, after you summon or slash the bubble. this hopefully gives a slight opportunity for the opponent to act? maybe.

notes
this doesn't address all of the community balance team's inputs, but other inputs i can't seem to figure out at the moment. maybe later in the line...
open for inputs! if you're in those roa servers with workshop people in it, please ping me for N/A inputs!!!! it's literally impossible to search on discord with "N/A" because of /.

v1.5

additions
- by attacking when the bubbles are in a cooldown (the greyed out state), bubbles can now be safely popped without exploding it.
- pokemon stadium sprites.

changes
- walljump has proper graphically matching hurtbox
- grounded nspecial animation speed adjusted (no effect on gameplay)
- fstrong is quite reliable now i think? i tested "hit from top edge" and "hit from bottom edge" with respective SDI options, and it didn't seem to drop out. if the issue persists, please let me know!
- ustrong should drop out less now...? both di&sdi in and out with the very edge of body hit on DACUS accounted for
- bair spike hit effect changed a bit
- grounded nspecial now has a weak melee hitbox

fixes
- dair has OFF_LEDGE now, making it not stop at the ledge if you are bounced backwards toward it
- legit dunno what happened to walljump animation but i fixed that now

balances
-- -- idk
- laser base hitpause increased (14 -> 17)

-- -- beneficial
- uair starts 2 frames earlier, turns out i counted previous frames wrongly (10 -> 8), FYI fair is 10 frames startup at the moment
- bubble explosion now gives you charge amount according to the bubble size/tier (3 for biggest, 2 for middle, etc)
- bubble "electricity" hitbox doesn't actively push the opponent away anymore, requiring them to SDI to escape
- dspecial charge amount reduced to 30 ticks (35 -> 30). i've considered reducing to 25, but bubble electric hitbox change seemed well enough? i'll see though
- laser base knockback and knockback growth increased (10 -> 12, 1 -> 1.15)... with the CPU's perfect DI, it starts ko'ing at about... 75%... well, this atleast makes laser not be a glorified strong attack, i guess?
- fstrong base knockback and knockback growth increased (8 -> 10, 0.95 -> 1.05)
- fstrong starts 3 frames earlier (34 -> 30)
- ustrong knockback growth increased (0.98 -> 1.1)
- fspecial startup shortened by 2 frames (24 -> 22)
- fspecial now has iasa (interruptable as soon as) at frame 40, basically cutting about 12 frames of endlag (i think)

-- -- counterplay
- as written in additions section, bubbles can now be popped safely without exploding it. hopefully gives some counterplay?
- bubbles will now "blink" a bit when its cooldown is about to end.

notes
sorry to have kept you waiting.
i'm kinda burnt out, barely playtested beyond practice mode test stuff. i apologize in advance
i hope i didn't completely wreck balance with this...
open for inputs!

changes
