another version, another weird way to say "beta"! bar version DELTA is now up and running
you already know what to expect if you played the pre-upload delta, but if you didn't, the patch notes will help!

this will be the last version of bar before the complete release!

PATCH NOTES:
= fixed bug that messed with the hurtbox if you do an attack or dodge while using the skill menu
= whenever the skill menu is brought up on training mode, it will reset the cursor position to light dagger's position (top left)
= skill menu will also loop around itself, so you don't need to press 4 times for a skill that's on the the other side of the selection
= at the start of a match, after bar closes the menu he will have invincibility for 90 frames (similar to respawn invincibility)
= if the skill select menu is closed earlier than the match starting, it will now allow bar to move without extra delay
= initial dash speed nerfed, dash speed increased
= jab 4's knockback angle is sending more diagnally up (10 -> 30)
= all of the jabs' hitpause had been fixed, it was an astronomically high number that was not intended
= F-strong's back hitbox disabled, but increased the size of the front hitbox, aswell as bringing it back a bit (size: x:30 y:50 -> x:60 y:40) (x position: 48 -> 32)
= F-air hitbox arrangement altered (it now has 2 sourspots above and below following the animation, with the sweetspot being between those two)
= B-air's sourspot now sends forward instead of backwards
= a frame in U-strong's animation was altered to portray the hitboxes better
= photon blast angle flipper changed from 8 to 3
= fixed problem with chasm burster's explosions staying in place if used as up special
= photon blast will reset it's charge when you use the move again, preventing turbo/"divine punishment" from messing with it
= fixed visual bug where guard aura on "divine punishment" will not show the hitspark when releasing the move
= added custom hit particles to moves that spawn hitboxes outside of the attack itself (like chasm burster)
= made bar's gauntlet take the color of his light, rather than his light blue clouthes on the portraits
= slightly altered "fiery racing spirit" alt's colors
= renamed "star guardian" alt to "stellar traveller"
= altered the "divine punishment" alt's fire on the portraits
= slightly increased camera shake on "divine punishment" when you start dashing
= divine punishment"s screen shake on landing now only applies if bar fastfalls
= charging a strong on "divine punishment" will now shake the screen too
= altered "divine punishment"s ancient text to have a faded outline

+ jab 3 is overall faster (startup: 6 -> 4 | attack: 8 -> 6 | endlag: 10 -> 8)
+ jab 3's knockback angle is sending more diagnally up to make it more combo-friendly (10 -> 40)
+ jab 4 is overall faster (startup: 12 -> 8 | attack: 10 -> 8 | endlag: 12 -> 8)
+ U-tilt sourspot base hitpause increased (3 -> 6)
+ D-tilt hitpause scaling added (0.2)
+ N-air base hitpause increased (4 -> 5)
+ U-air base hitpause increased and hitpause scaling added (base hitpause: 4 -> 6 | hitpause scaling: 0.2)
+ D-air knockback scaling increased (0.7 -> 0.9)
+ D-air's startup is slightly faster so it can chain with accel blitz (15 -> 12)
+ U-strong's 2nd projectile (normal version) knockback and knockback scaling increase (base kb: 5 -> 7 | kb scaling: 0.7 -> 0.9)
+ U-strong's 2nd projectile (burning version) kb scaling increase (0.8 -> 1.1)
+ U-strong's 2nd projectile size increase (8x40 -> 16x60)
+ U-strong's 2nd projectile is now aimable, if you press left or right while bar is about to throw the spear, you can change it's trajectory (it will also deflect in different angles)
+ light dagger knockback increased (3 -> 5)
+ light dagger extra hitpause added (4)
+ decrease air friction on chasm burster in the air (0.3 -> 0.1)
+ added a hitbox when bar starts to fall with chasm burster in the air
+ taunt hitbox size increased (x:16 y:16 -> x:24 y:32)
+ taunt lifetime slightly increased (1 -> 2)
+ "divine punishment" force leap is now doesn't pratfall

+ ACCEL BLITZ ADDED! accel blitz allows bar to travel in lightspeed to a spot he chooses. holding down special will make him go further! bar has a small time window he can attack in, preventing pratfalling!
+ EMBER FIST ADDED! bar will shoot a close ranged flamethrower-like projectile that does consecutive damage and inflicts holy burning. it can also be aimed slightly up or down!
+ THEIKOS STRONGS ADDED! the "divine punishment" alt has different strongs from the normal alt, and now are in game as intended!
* F-strong will make bar punch the foe consecutively, the more you charge, the more punches he will do!
* U-strong will create a pillar of light that gets wider and stays longer the more you charge!
* D-strong will allow bar to charge a fireball and throw it to the ground, but when it hits the ground it will set it on fire! the longer you charge- you get the point

+ ADDED NEW 16 COLOR ALTS!
* i also rearranged and renamed some of the alts, so your favorite alts might be at a different spot
* the "early access" and "demake"(NES) alts now have a chiptune version of bar's victory theme

+ ADDED COLORED HITBOXES!
