misc.
Commissioned new bomb placement vfx from Delta Parallax (this is to better indicate to both players and opponents that the bomb is on an opponent)
FTL alt updated (looked kinda ass tbh)
description updated to better reflect how the character currently functions + credits


base stats
pratland time 16 -> 12
initial dash speed 6 -> 7
dash speed 5.5 -> 6.5
wave land adj 1.2 -> 1.24
kb adj 0.95 -> 1
(him being heavy is kinda weird in retrospect and could benefit from being lighter weight with faster ground speed. one other reason is cause he struggled *too* much in certain matchups due to his range.. which is not inherently a problem but combined with his slow speed it can be an issue)

jab
sound fixed
bomb on 4th hit
( :) )

dash attack
hsp decrease

ustrong
kbg 0.9 -> 1
hitbox size for both sweetspot and sourspot increased
new vfx added on sweetspot
animation adjusted to reflect hitbox timing
(its so tough to get this move right cause bomb has made it kinda broken lol)

dstrong
endlag on whiff 12->24
new vfx added on hit
(lol!)

nair
sfx adjusted

uair
sfx adjusted

nspec
EXPERIMENTAL:
bomb bkb -> 7 -> 11
bomb kbg -> .7 -> .2
hit lockout reduced
activate sound changed to be louder
(done to make bomb a more consistent combo tool. still kills off the top of the stage but its more predictable where exactly it will kill.)

uspec
now has forward hsp (4)

dspec
doesnt stop horizontal momentum again
3 extra hitpause
cant break projectiles no more

(should address a few complaints from both people not liking that it blocks projectiles and people finding it a bit hard to use)

v1.6
very small kira polish patch. not finished but i decided just to release it already
misc.
muttdud alt added "Goodbye Morioh"
various alt / voice fixes added by muttdud

ftilt
tiny bit of horizontal speed was added to the startup

dash attack
tiny bit of speed added during endlag (so it doesnt feel like his momentum abruptly stops)

fspec
bubble dies when offscreen

v1.5
misc
voice mode added with both asb and asbr voices thanks to muttdud thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup
sound on css screen added also thanks to muttdud

dtilt
base kb 6 -> 4
angle 75
(based new numbers on similar dtilts in base cast such as kragg and oly)

dattack
endlag 12 -> 16
(endlag was higher on similar moves on base cased characters)

dair
spike hitbox lifetime increase 1 frame -> 3
kb scaling decrease .8 -> .6
(spikes more of the time now!)

dspec
experimental: coin toss does not stop kira's momentum anymore
(the animation looks kinda janky rn cause the coin starts out in the middle of kira but ill fix that later i just wanna get this out)

v1.4
kira 1.4 first patch thats a net buff wooo (this patch is meant to give many of kira's normals more usage cases in lieu of the gimmick nerfs from last patch + other general buffs. this will probably be the final "big patch" featuring mostly stuff i personally want to change unless i get like a bunch of feedback i agree with.).

misc
bomb is now removed from opponents on death

(whoops shouldve been like that before)

dtilt
hurtbox reduced very slightly

ustrong
bomb tipper made bigger

(previously the tipper would not activate sometimes even if the opponent is near the top of the move.)

fair
sourspot hitbox raised
(didnt cover most of the smear so it sometimes felt like it didnt hit even when it should.)

bair
hitbox shifted upwards
base kb 6 -> 7

(move should feel a little less stubby than it did before. its also easier to knock the opponent into the bubble.)

uair
hitbox covers the whole smear

(for reference the move wouldn't even hit the opponent point blank sometimes)

fspec
bubble faster
cooldown increased
active time decreased
(wanted the move to feel a lot faster than it did before for both players. you also cant spawn it in as quickly so removing it feels a lot more effective as counterplay.)

uspec
fartbox has vfx on hit

(fartbox has vfx on hit)

v1.3

kira gamefieldies update

Fstrong
-- now has a tipper that places the bomb instead of the whole hitbox placing it
+ kb scaling .9 -> 1

(Felt while playing the character that it was far too easy to place the bomb on opponents with a strong to really be that consistently fun and it was corroborated so now i have an excuse to change stuff. funny part is that this is closer to what i originally wanted for the character the tippers were just removed cause they were buggy. fstrong and ustrong were also buffed to make up for this)

Ustrong
-- now has a tipper that places the bomb instead of the whole hitbox placing it
+ base kb 7 -> 8

nspec
~ the tap/hold input has been replaced with killer queen chopping automatically if there is no bomb on screen and detonating if there is.
~ the removal of bomb with nspec + parry input has been replaced with always doing the chop
++ angle 30 -> 70
+ kb scaling .2 -> .4
(control scheme changed for ease of use. he now also has much better bomb combos... have fun)
