"Full Launch" for Percht is finally here.

New Moves:

New movement mechanic: Smokedash
* When within a smoke cloud, Percht gains unique, powerful new movement options.
* Pretty Smokedash:
- Covers a large distance almost instantly, then quickly stops, allowing for precise repositioning.
* Ugly Smokedash:
- Teleports a short distance, then dashes in the desired direction, letting you weave through the opponents offence.

New Pretty moves:
* Whiplash [Special]
- long reaching whip attack that results in a second, delayed hit, good for extending combos
* Juggle [Special]
- high reaching whip attack with aimable knockback, lets you, as the name suggests, juggle your opponent and do DI mix
* Incense Mace [Super]
- Swings your incense burner at the enemy. if hit or blocked, summons a smoke cloud that follows the opponent for a short while

New Ugly moves:
* Air Claw [Normal]
- short range claw jab in the air
* Ankle Slasher [Normal]
- Low hitting claw attack that pulls the opponent in
* Claw-By [Normal] (Replaces Slide)
- Long distance prolonged hitbox with an unblockable followup at the end
- this move will skip immediately to the unblockable if used after ankle slasher
* Hammer Fist [Normal] (Reworked)
- Slower with a larger hitbox downward smash
- can now be used when grounded, can also be aimed when grounded
* Scissors [Special]
- Freely aimable claw attack that resets momentum, has far reach
* Smoke Cloak [Super]
- Summons a smoke cloud that follows you
* Jumpscare Grab [Super]
- Lunges forward to grab the opponent, then throws them downward. lunge speed scales with movement speed


Changes:

Various changes to Damage, Hitstun, Blockstun and Knockback on too many moves to bother listing, should be improved overall.

Movement:
* Adjusted movement abilities for both forms:
- Pretty grounded dash is now slightly slower
- Omnidirectional airdash removed from both forms
- to compensate, double jump can now also be aimed downward, but not to the side

Pretty:
* Smoke Cloud Summon changed to allow full coverage
* Whipcopter now only blockcancels once during the whip spin instead of twice

Ugly:
* Ground Slam no longer cancels on hit
* iasa on hit now at 13
* Claw no longer cancels on hit
* iasa on hit now at 5
* Increased forward movement on all Charge punch variations

Addendum
We are currently planning an additional content patch for the near future which will include:
* Significantly Improving the function of Goodie Bag
* One whole new mechanic which comes in the form of two new "Projectile" Supers, one for each form
So stay tuned for news on that.
