v2.0

Just a few months before his one-year anniversary, the royal scientist returns for a major 2.0 update.
This overhauling patch aims to make the man a more competitively viable combatant who feels fair to fight and pleasing to use.
Special thanks to V_Force, Kayeetle, TehEnd, and the burger for helping in the development of this patch!
