v2.3

Zanaiel gets some minor balance fixes and gets extra alts!

Balance:
-Dashattack sweetspot damage lowered 13->11
-Backair damage lowered 10->8, 7->6
-Fspecial->downattack damage lowered
-Change knockback for uSpecial (base 9->7, scaling 1->0.8)
-45 Frames cooldown upon touching the ground for fSpecial instead of instant of 0, hitting a cancellable attack while on the ground will reset the cooldown, so it’s cancel opportunities and combos haven’t changed.
//This change intends that Zanaiel keeps their pressure, rushdown and snowball oportunities, while punishing players for running away or trying to stall.
-Dashattack now recovers while on the air after 27 frames instead of falling forever

Visuals:
Alts
- Select screen and victory screen arts has been slightly changed

- Thanks to the previous change, Zanaiel has alts now and they're visible in the character selection screen!

- One of the Alts is a GX alt with a special effect while in neutral states.

v1.12

***EMERGENCY HOTFIX***

- Fixed a major bug that let Zanaiel chage downStrong and forwardStrong *AFTER* hitting the grab, this was not intended in the first place.

I know this is out of time, if the any of the judges think this should be reverted to keep things fair, please let me know and I'll revert Zanaiel to the last patch made within the time.
