-Nspecial snowflake attack no longer is a multihit drag attack. Not only hits once for 4% damage at an upward 75* angle. There is a larger and more powerful hit box at the end of the attack that deals 10% damage if spaced properly.

-Nspecial end lag increased from, 12 frames to 30 frames. This'll drastically reduce Diamond's ability to chain multiple Nspecial attacks together.

-Fixed joysticks not being able to send snowflakes diagonally.

-Snowdust particles innately turned off (tanking fps on slower computers). Press down+Taunt to switch snowdust on and off.

-Delayed start up time of Fstrong wind particles. (12 frames slower. roughly 33% less wind hitboxes

-Pressing Attack or Shield while holding Nspecial will cancel the move and return detached snowflakes.
-Ustrong grabs on all hits now instead of just the first hit.

-Empowered Bair strike is now optional, and combos out of normal bair strike.

-Fixed Dattack VFX

-Short hop height reduced.

-If any of Diamond's attacks get parried, her snowflakes are instantly destroyed and they do not respawn for an additional 4 seconds.

-Parrying Snowflake attacks now cause Diamond to enter parry stun.

Diamond's initial release was pretty rough. She needs a lot of tweaks, balances and some reworks. In this patch I tackled some of the more glaring issues. Some of the fixes are just band aids for now, but others are changes I like.

Any feedback, criticism and comments are incredibly welcome.
