v8.0
After a long time coming of almost no new updates since June, I can finally present:
*Balanced Mega Man:*
`[A project to make a well designed, fun, and Balanced Mega Man Workshop fighter]`

This is my workshop character and I had fun with designing everything.
Feedback for balance changes and whatnot is greatly appreciated

This should just about be his finished state including a ground taunt (finally), and balancing changes.
A new character compatibility system where he swaps to the opponents colors if certain conditions are met is planned for him, but is not currently in the character right now.

- His Neutral Special has been greatly changed. It finally functions like a true bomb, timed explosion and everything.
This move can no longer break.

- Side Special is now immune to breaking, but it travels slower.

- Up Special and Down Air have slightly different physics tied to them. Up Special now has a small straight boost up to help with distance while Down Air has a slight "hover" now.

- His Up Air comes out faster and the overall speed is slightly quicker.
This gives Mega Man a proper juggle tool.
Endlag has been adjusted to allow an aggressive upclose option at the cost of a nerfed Hit 1.
Hit 2 has a new downwards hitbox added that helps prevent fallouts.

- Back Air has been sped up by 2 frames to make shorthop Bair more effective.

- Up Strong's hitbox doesn't linger as long as it used to.

- Up Tilt's scooping hitboxes have been improved to connect better.
Up Tilt also comes out 2 frames faster.

- Forward Tilt now comes out faster, but only on hit. The move is still going to have a decent amount of endlag if whiffed.

- Forward Tilt's hitboxes have also been reworked. The current hit is now treated as a sourspot while a new tip sweetspot hit was created.

- Dash Attack now comes out faster, but only on hit. The move is still going to have a decent amount of endlag if whiffed.

v7.3
- Forward Tilt has been made a slight bit stronger.
Forward Tilt is also very slightly faster.
Hitbox comes out a frame earlier.

- Down Tilt's hitboxes have been pushed out slightly.

- Up Strong has a back hit that should help with missing the move.
Up Strong's knockback is increased.

- Forward Air comes out slightly faster.
Forward Air is slightly stronger too.

- Forward Strong's launcher has been slightly increased in width.

- Grounded Down Special has a tiny bit more stun on the final hit.
New hit has been added before the launcher hit that reaches through platforms.
