Update: 5 Dec, 2023 @ 10:51am

Fixed UI to not break with the current version of the game

Nano Boost removed (you now have to spend the meter on Jingo Boost)
All Nano-moves moves have had their costs increased (Run-off Cancels still cost 50)
Senator now starts with 50 Nanomachines instead of 100

All of Senator's non-super damage has been reduced by ~10%
The damage of Senator's Nano-moves has been increased

A lot of Senator's moves now have higher DI modifiers, particularly the OTG moves and some of the combo extenders which left opponents above him and therefore able to just be regrabbed.
Senator's grabs now scale combo more harshly

Boundary Line DI Modifier increased significantly.

Run-off Speed decreased from 30 to 25, now starts up frame 8

Tough Ballot now only hits grounded opponents (this was an oversight from ages ago, if you wanna catch the jump you gotta do the actual anti-air grab now)

Compatability patch for Version 1.8, alongside a couple balancing tweaks
It's likely I've broken some other stuff or his balance won't be quite right yet. This is more a quick fix to get him working.
Senator's moves have been given on block frames. Mostly these are only slightly positive or he's punishable on block, but the balance of this will be changing rapidly.

- Parry no longer provides nanomachines. This may come back.
- Removed Patriot Cry - I'll add it back in when I find a purpose for it and fixed some massive bugs
- Run-off shouldn't be able to be flipped now in any circumstance. If you find a way to flip it and be a little coward, please let me know. The Senator does not abide cowardice. Go in.
- Nano Boost and Jingo Boost are now slightly slower.

KNOWN ISSUE:
His UI currently breaks during replays. This is known, I'll just get back to it after I've fixed my other character for 1.8.

Small update in size, big in ramifications
General consensus seems to be that Senator's combo game is a bit too DI safe because of the reliance on OTG and the range on OTG Absolute Majority.
This is not necessarily set in stone, but for now I've removed Absolute Majority's OTG property.
The plan is to closely monitor how he performs without it and bring it back in an altered state if removing it is too much of a hit.

Besides that, this update also tweaks Boundary Line a little more, mostly the angle of the projectile's launch again.

Update: 13 Aug, 2023 @ 6:45am

Audit Trail and Paper Trail:
Endlag reduced by 6f
Audit Trail's invincibility period has also been reduced by 6f

Boundary Line:
Knockback now launches a bit shallower and a bit stronger, to improve its utility as a counter-zoning option

Boundary Shift:
Now has 2 proration.
Base Damage reduced 60/60/160 > 40/40/100
Now slightly more affected by DI on the final hit

Drop Box:
Now free cancellable

Fixed a bug where Tough Ballot could be FCed but wouldn't actually cancel into anything

Update: 6 Aug, 2023 @ 11:35am

Mostly a bugfix patch for stuff I didn't learn about until I went to visit family.

Nano Boost and Jingo Boost should be working again (I hope)

The following are to hopefully knock the Confidence Vote xx Speechcraft loop on the head a bit (still possible with bad DI but falls off very fast - can still land it max distance with a walk in the middle but that stops working after like one loop)
Confidence Vote scaling increased.
Confidence Vote proration now set to 1.
Confidence Vote DI Influnce increased a little bit
Speechcraft DI influence increased a little bit
Speechcraft Knockback reduced a little bit (it was super high but down so this should help the DI kick in a bit more)
Speechcraft Hitbox vertical size reduced 20 > 15

Update: 4 Aug, 2023 @ 6:37am

Fixed a small bug in the latest update that made him kinda lose all his moves a little bit

Added a new super - SPEECHCRAFT - a big boot hitgrab which allows for new combo routes.

We realised that we'd made Nanomachines a little harder to get that intended with the last patch, so the following changes have been made:
Nanomachine building attacks now build nanomachines on hit or on whiff rather than just on hit.
Nano Boost and Jingo Boost no longer cost a free cancel.
However, freely using Nano Boost could prove a bit easy, so now the Senator's Nanomachines will slowly drain when he's playing passively (i.e. walking around, jumping, whiffing blocks) - Get in there and swing on 'em

Tough Ballot is now Free Cancellable

I'm gonna be away for the weekend so any major issues are going to have to wait a little, but do report them, I'll get to them when I can
