v2.0

General:
Reworks for several of his moves, giving them brand new animations and timings, or even entirely new functions, to give him a better flow in combat.
General damage buffs and a few knockback nerfs.

Moves with Visual/Mechanical Changes:
+Jab: Jab is now a 3 part attack, where attacks 1 and 2 can be canceled into tilts. It also advances a little with each attack.

+Neutral Air: Neutral Air's animation now extends the move further, and the move's damage is increased from 2%/3% to 3%/4%.

+Down Tilt: Down Tilt is a sliding kick that advances forwards, that can be jump-canceled on hit.

+Up Tilt: Up Tilt is an uppercut punch that can be canceled into strongs and specials, and is much faster than the old upper kick.

+Down Strong: Down Strong is now a Power Blitz Charge that hits on both sides of 17. If it lands, it also fully charges his Neutral Special and stores the charge immediately.

+Up Strong: Up Strong has a brand new animation since the old one was not up to par. As a bonus, it also remains one of his better kill moves, and has a much expanded range to allow him to narrowly shark platforms with it.

+Neutral Special: Neutral Special's charge can now be stored by pressing Parry when the charge is filled. Also, an indicator is shown on the HUD when the Charge is at full.

+Side Special: Side Special's Infinity version is now Barrier Punch instead of Barrier Tackle. The Infinity version's dash portion goes further than the regular version and gains Projectile Invincibility, and if the button is held, instead of the kick, you get a Barrier Punch which charges forward to inflict a devastating attack. It can be turned around if you hold the other direction before the attack goes through.
