System changes:
-Special moves now have a fixed input window of 7 frames,
instead of a random number between 7-14 frames. This might
reduce the likelihood of charge moves coming out by accident
with charge times disabled.
Other changes:
-The computer in Arcade Mode now treats the Mode+LP color as an
alternate color, meaning it won't use the MP color if the
Mode+LP color is chosen. This change also extends to
"Marionette Mode" where you hold Up+A+B+C to force a Mirror
Match against the computer.
-Moved the character selection, tripped physics and Avra's
hitstun code to different locations in the ROM. Added a
character form check for Avra's name announcement upon
selection.
-Players can now use different color packs whose color index
matches each other in mirror matches. For example, Ryu can now
use his LP color against another Ryu who has the Mode+LP color
selected. In the case of Hold colors, the other player is
forced to use the color pack that's different from the color
pack that the other player chose.
-If you hold the Mode Button when selecting Arcade Mode, the
computer will choose random colors. This is a very
experimental addition.
-Tweaked some code to allow for Dictator to show his Nightmare
palette swaps on round start when human-controlled, and
outside of Arcade Mode.
-The game now lets you play as Dictator in his Nightmare form,
with the same button codes that activate Belva at the start of
a round. Hold Back+X+Y+Z+B or Back+Y+Z+B+C. At first, you
weren't meant to be able to play as Nightmare Dictator unless
you circumvented the way the character forms work, as he is
simply the same character but with his attack animations sped
up, which allows him to special cancel more of his normals.
If you think about it, sped up attack animations does have a
few downsides, such as making it harder to time jump-ins, and
Diagonal J.MP juggles don't work as well.
The opponent needs to win only 1 round against Dictator to
win the match if he's in his Nightmare form.
Stage changes:
-The blue tones in Chun-Li's 1st stage palette now match most
of the other stages.
-A few corner pixels on the bottom tile of the trees at the top
corners in Dee Jay's stage use the "canvas" color. It looks
better this way.
Shotos:
-Massively nerfed frame data and damage across the board.
Guile:
-Foot Hurtbox used when knocked down is expanded 6px forward,
for juggle combos to work against him more consistently.
Chun-Li:
-Foot Hurtbox used when knocked down is expanded 10px
horizontally, for juggle combos to work against her more
consistently.
-The part of her dizzy animation where she's leaning back has
its Head and Body Hurtboxes each expanded 4px forward.
-Spinning Bird Kick's Handspring Hitbox is expanded 4px
horizontally, to make it easier to hit a dizzy Chun-Li from
the front while she's leaning back.
-Reverted the nerf where Kikouken's later active part causes
an air reset instead of knocking down airborne opponents. This
way, it can be used in corner combos followed by a Spinning
Bird Kick.
Zangief:
-Launcher knockdown animation's 1st 2 parts now have a Foot
Hurtbox.
-Knockdown animations' last frame each use a different Head
and Foot Hurtbox, and a previously unused Body Hurtbox that
used to have its dimensions duplicated from Knee Drop's Body
Hurtbox. Said Body Hurtbox also covers most of his torso.
-Fixed Zangief's Burn Knockdown animation not having a drop
shadow. It was like this on unmodified MD SSF2.
-C.LK has the same range that C.MK used to have, like in New
Legacy.
-C.MK's Hitbox is expanded 4px horizontally.
-J.LK's startup uses a different Head Hurtbox that's closer to
his head, and the Foot Hurtbox is removed.
-J.LK's Hitbox is reduced 4px downwards. It was too good
against Dictator and Madonna. All the other characters (Roll
included) had good answers against it. This also means Jadoo
can now crouch under it.
-Diagonal J.LK's startup uses the same Hurtboxes as the neutral
version.
Dictator:
-Knockdown's descent Foot Hurtbox is expanded backwards.
Sagat:
-Head Hurtbox used during knockdowns is moved 11px forward and
expanded 3px horizontally and 5px vertically.
-Body Hurtbox used during knockdowns is expanded horizontally,
but reduced vertically.
-Tiger Shot recoveries are 1 frame slower.
Avra:
-J.HP is now a butt attack like S.HP.
-Diagonal J.HP reuses Neutral J.HP's animation data.
Cammy:
-Knockdown animations' last frame use the same parameter list
as each other.
-Knockdown animations' last frame has no Head or Body
Hurtboxes, and uses the Foot Hurtbox that was used for Far
S.MP's startup, which now covers her body.
-Far S.MP's 1st startup part and recovery use the same Foot
Hurtbox as Close S.MP's startup.
-LK Cannon Drill active parts' sprites are placed lower to
the ground.
-LK Cannon Drill's 1st active part has no Head Hurtbox, uses
a different Body Hurtbox that goes up to the middle of her
torso, and uses her crouching Pushbox.
-LK Cannon Drill's 1st active Hitbox reaches lower.
-All collision boxes on LK Cannon Drill's 2nd active part are
placed lower. With all these changes, LK Cannon Drill can
now travel under projectiles, like in Capcom vs. SNK 2 (at
least against Sonic Booms, for example).
Emily:
-Knockdown animations' last frame use a Body Hurtbox that's
more projected forward.
Character Colors:
Ryu Mode+MP: Adjusted the skin color on his in-game palette.
Now it's darker overall, matching the portrait further. The 2nd
skin tone stood out too much from the other skin tones.
→
Ryu Mode+LK: 4th skin tone is -1 Red. The skin seems to work
better this way.
→
Jadoo Mode+LP: Hair is colored purple to resemble Nekomusume
from GeGeGe no Kitarou.
→
→
Jadoo Mode+Hold: Hair is now colored green, 1st shirt tone is
now -2 darker, suspender skirt is now colored brown.
The attire's color scheme somewhat resembles one of my OC's,
Debby who appeared in the Outbound comics and Candra and the
Spite Crew.
→
→
Roll Mode+LP: Dress has a slight tint of orange, and outlines
are now pitch black, so her lifebar name doesn't appear
identical to her default color.
→
Roll Mode+LK: The eyes on her portrait are now colored antique
bronze.
→
Roll Mode+HK: New skin color, adjusted her hair color to better
accommodate her white tones, portrait's eyes are colored red.
→
→
Guile Mode+HP: 1st skin tone is -1 Green. It reflects on his
portrait better.
→
Chun-Li Mode+Start: Brightened her skin and attire in the hopes
of making it more distinguishable from her Start color, in the
case of Mirror Matches, now that both players have more freedom
in what colors they can use in Mirror Matches.
→
Zangief HK: Adjusted the skin tone on his portrait to further
match the in-game palette. (This was not easy for me...)
→
Zangief Mode+LK: Adjusted the skin tone on his portrait to
further match the in-game palette.
→
Mai Start: Last (dark) palette index is now 1,0,0, to further
differentiate it from her Mode+Start color.
→
Mai Mode+LK: Darker skin color, colored her "stripes" green,
portrait matches her in-game palette much closer.
→
→
Mai Mode+Start: Brightened her attire further on both her
portrait and in-game sprites, and re-colored her "stripes" blue
in the hopes of making it more distinguishable from her Start
color, in the case of Mirror Matches, now that both players
have more freedom in what colors they can use in Mirror
Matches. The palette now sort of reminds me of Kim Wu from
Killer Instinct 2/Killer Instinct Gold.
→
→
Sagat HP: Made an actual attempt at making his skin on his
in-game palette resemble his Super Turbo Jab color. I don't
know what I was thinking leaving this skin color as it was.
→
Sagat Start: Re-colored his shorts stripe from blue to green.
After looking at Sagat's palettes, I realized that none of them
have a green shorts stripe.
→
Sagat Hold: Shorts are a more subdued yellow in the hopes of
making his lifebar name more distinguishable from his Mode+MP
color, and the dark shorts stripe tone is a basic dark red.
Bongo-colored Sagat!
Note that hit sparks are color coded by player port (Blue when Player 1 hits Player 2, Yellow when Player 2 hits Player 1).
→
Sagat Mode+Hold: Gloves and socks are colored from purple to a
soft blue... it probably looks more bland this way. I had no
idea what I was thinking when I made this color. It felt like
an embodiment of the jankiness of this ROM Hack, but I might
regret changing this color later down the line.
→
Avra & Belva Mode+LP: Avra's jacket/Belva's dress is now
colored teal green, as they were lacking in colors where that
piece of attire is green.
→
→
→
→
Claw Hold: Has a brand new skin color that isn't overly reddish
in tone.
→
→
Cammy Mode+MP: Her eyes on her portrait are now colored green,
and the color of her leotard is adjusted, further matching my
OC that this color is based on, Pink Mountain from Diaper
Enforcers Deluxe. It's also an attempt to make it easier to
tell her lifebar name apart from her Start color.
→
→
Cammy Mode+MK: Adjusted her 4th skin tone, as it stood out too
much.
→
Cammy Mode+Start: Brightened her leotard and made her beret
more reddish orange on her portrait to match her in-game
palette further.
→
Emily Mode+LP: Dress is now a green color, and her bows are
colored bright pink for variety. Her previous color was
appropriate due to the Mirror Match color restriction, but now
that it has been lifted, it lost its purpose.
→
→
Madonna Mode+LK: Adjusted the skin on her portrait to match
her in-game palette further.
→
Madonna Mode+HK: Dress is now colored orange to distinguish
the lifebar name from HK. 
→
→
Madonna Mode+Hold: Slightly brightened her dress on her in-game
palette.
→
Nightmare Dictator HP: Brightened the lightest attire tone.
Nightmare Dictator is given brand new palettes that are used
when he's using the 2nd color pack.
