Rev. 2.7 Changelist

 -The CPU has a random chance of being unable to block your
 attacks in Arcade Mode.

-It's now possible to do a jump attack out of a dash post-KO.

Arcade Ladder changes:

-Roll's arcade ladder where Cammy is fought first has Guile
 and Madonna's positions swapped with each other, to cut down
 on ladders where Mai and Madonna are right next to each other.

-Guile's ladder where Jadoo is fought first has Roll and
 Zangief swapped with each other. The ladder where Ken is
 fought first is also adjusted to have the opponents starting
 with Chun-Li fought earlier. In the ladder with Madonna first,
 T. Hawk is fought earlier while Ryu is fought later.

-Ken's arcade ladder where Roll is fought first has Ken and
 Madonna's positions swapped with each other, to cut down on
 ladders where Mai and Madonna are right next to each other.
 Swapped Roll and Guile's positions in the ladder with Emily
 fought first.

-2 of Chun-Li's ladders had T. Hawk as the last opponent before
 the bosses. The one where Jadoo is fought first now has Guile
 as the last opponent.

-Zangief had 2 ladders with Ryu fought right before Jadoo. The
 ladder with Chun-Li first is adjusted so Jadoo is fought last
 before the bosses. The ladder where Mai is fought first moved
 Madonna from the 2nd slot to the last one.

-2 of Mai's ladders had Jadoo fought right before Ryu. The
 ladder with Ken first has some of the slots swapped and has
 Ryu fought last before the bosses. The ladder with Guile first
 has T. Hawk and Emily fought later.

-In Dictator's ladder where Jadoo is fought first, Roll is
 preceded by Ken instead of Guile for variety. In the ladder
 Cammy first, Guile and Madonna's slots are swapped with each
 other.

-2 of Sagat's ladders had Chun-Li as the last opponent before
 the bosses. The ladder with Madonna first has Jadoo as the
 last opponent.

-2 of Avra/Belva's arcade ladders had Chun-Li, Ryu and Cammy as
 the last 3 opponents, respectively. Swapped the 1st 2 in one
 of the ladders. Jadoo is now the last opponent in the ladder
 where Zangief is fought first, and Ryu is fought earlier.
 Swapped Guile and Zangief's ladder positions in the one where
 Emily is fought first. T. Hawk is now a 1st opponent in one of
 the ladders.

-2 of Claw's ladders had Madonna as the last opponent before
 the bosses. The ladder with Zangief first now has Guile as the
 last opponent.

-2 of Cammy's ladders had Chun-Li as the last opponent before
 the bosses. The ladder with Ryu now has Emily as the last
 opponent.

-2 of Emily's ladders had Zangief as the last opponent before
 the bosses. The ladder with Cammy first now has Mai as the
 last opponent. Swapped around the last 3 slots in the ladder
 where is T. Hawk fought first.

Other changes:

-The Capcom Logo palette is tweaked with the green channels
 lowered, and new blues.

Shotos:

-Partially reverted the damage reductions on C.MK, C.HK, J.HP,
 Diagonal J.MK, Diagonal J.HK.

Ryu:

-CPU Ryu is given a Foot Hurtbox during Ground Tatsu's startup.

Jadoo:

-S.HP's Hitbox is expanded 3px horizontally.

-Diagonal J.LK's Hitbox is expanded 4px forward.

-Head Hurtbox used during LK Butt Slam's 1st hit is 2px
 smaller.

-LK Butt Slam's 1st hit uses the same Pushbox as the other
 versions.

-HK Butt Slam's Hitboxes are stretched 6px horizontally.

-Jadoo's Back Dash command resets if she lands from a jump, air
 reset or Back Dash while facing the same direction as her
 opponent. This will be make it easier to hit her with a sweep
 or slide after getting behind her.

Roll:

-S.MK and J.MP can knockdown airborne opponents.

-C.MK's Hitbox is expanded 2px forward.

Guile:

-Diagonal J.LK is reworked to be more usable as a crossup. It
 has less vertical range, though.

-Flash Kick's 1st active part has its horizontal range
 restored.

-Flash Kick's horizontal movement during the opponent's stun is
 increased.

Dictator:

-Reverted Psycho Crusher's Hitboxes to how they were before. I
 found out that it couldn't even hit a standing Jadoo. The idea
 for it was to pass through Mai's Ryuu Enbu, but that move
 can't hit Psycho Crusher no matter how much I stretched Psycho
 Crusher's active Body Hurtbox.

-Nightmare Dictator walks way faster.

Sagat:

-Foot Hurtbox given to Tiger Uppercut's 1st active part is
 expanded 4px horizontally, and 4px upwards.

-Tiger Uppercut's 2nd active Body Hurtbox is moved 4px forward
 and expanded 16px horizontally.

-Tiger Uppercut's 3rd active Body Hurtbox is stretched 8px
 horizontally.

-Tiger Uppercut's 1st recovery frame uses a Head Hurtbox that
 matches the sprite.

Avra:

-C.MP and HP's active and recovery parts are given the same
 Foot Hurtbox as C.LP's active part. Said Hurtbox is also
 expanded 2px horizontally.

-Body Hurtbox used on J.HP's startup is moved 7px upwards and
 reduced 4px vertically.

-J.HP's active Body Hurtbox is moved 3px backwards, 2px upwards
 and reduced 4px vertically.

T. Hawk:

-T. Hawk is given a new wakeup animation where he does a back
 flip like Emily does, also like his Tomahawk Buster's
 recovery.

Madonna:

-Changed S.MP's hit type to the one used by Rekkas.

-Diagonal J.MP can knockdown airborne opponents, at the
 expense of its overhead properties.

Belva:

-C.LP's Head Hurtboxes are moved 4px downwards.

-C.LP's Hitbox is moved 10px upwards to make it usable as an
 anti-air. It can now hit Psycho Crushers.

-Neutral and Diagonal J.LP use her jumping Head and Body
 Hurtboxes.

-J.MP uses her jumping Body Hurtbox when active.

-Removed the Foot Hurtbox from Diagonal J.HP's 1st active part.

-Diagonal J.HP's 1st Hitbox is 2px larger.

-Diagonal J.HP's 2nd Hitbox is expanded 4px horizontally.

-Removed the Body Hurtbox from J.MK's active part.

-Home Run Rush and Smile Cream's Hitboxes are expanded 2px
 horizontally.

-Forced Diaper Reload resets the amount of HP to heal when she
 turns back. If she does a forced Diaper Reload (from using her
 gadgets too many times), holds all Kick buttons to moon the
 4th wall for as long as she can, and does a TAP Diaper Reload,
 the heal amount from the forced Diaper Reload didn't reset.
 Thus, she restores ridiculously high amounts of HP during her
 initial turning frames.

Rev. 2.6 Changelist

 System changes:

-The CPU recovers from dizzy faster than before, but still
 slower than before Rev. 2.5. I later realized that I overdid
 this CPU nerf, as you could easily timer scam most dizzy CPU
 opponents on lower difficulties. The intent was to reduce the
 amount of CPU cheating further, but it wasn't really fair for
 the CPU to stay dizzy for so long.

-When a character gets dizzy, only 2 dizzy symbols appear over
 the character, down from 3, which helps reduce slowdown.

-Projectiles do slightly more damage than before. The CPU
 blocking projectiles (especially a Level 8 Zangief) is less
 likely (if at all) to make their lifebars visibly empty. This
 also helps with bad matchups for "Shadow Mode"/"Baton Pass"
 playthroughs.

Jadoo:

-S.MK starts up 1 frame faster. It can now be special
 cancelled.

-C.MK does the same damage as C.MP.

-J.HK's Hitbox is expanded 2px horizontally, so it can hit a
 standing T. Hawk while he's cornered.

-HHS's looping hits have 3px more horizontal range.

-HP HHS Finisher uses the same animation data as the MP
 version.

-HHS Finisher is given an additional active part in case the
 1st one whiffs. I found out that the finisher seems to always
 whiff if any of HHS's hits during its looping cycles whiff.

Roll:

-Roll walks forward slightly faster, instead of matching E.
 Honda's forward walk speed.

-Puny Peach bounces back slightly closer to the opponent.

Guile:

-Close and Far S.HK can knockdown airborne opponents.

-Close S.MK has less knockback.

-C.HP recovers 4 frames faster.

Chun-Li:

-Stand Hurt Low 1st Body Hurtbox is expanded 2px horizontally,
 so Guile's C.LP can connect after crossing up with Diag J.LK.

Mai:

-New Target Combo: S.LK > S.MK

Dictator:

-Far S.MK's Hitbox is 2px shorter in height, so it doesn't
 easily stuff Avra's C.LP.

-Diagonal J.MP starts up 1 frame faster. It can now be
 special cancelled.

-Psycho Crusher's Hitboxes are 3px shorter in height, so it
 doesn't hit Mai's Ryuu Enbu when both moves are used on the
 ground.

Avra:

-S.LP, S.MP and C.LP recover 1 frame faster.

-S.MP, C.LP and C.MP can knockdown airborne opponents.

-S.HP recovers 2 frames faster.

-S.HP's active Head Hurtbox is reduced 3px forward.

-S.HP's Hitbox is expanded 4px forward.

-All Crouching Punch Hitboxes are expanded 2px horizontally.

-C.LP's active Head Hurtbox is moved 5px back, 4px downwards,
 and is 7px smaller.

-C.LP uses a more projected Foot Hurtbox while active.

-C.MP recovers 3 frames faster.

-Mighty Heel falls down faster, making it easier to juggle from
 it. This also applies to Belva's Smile Cream.

Belva:

-S.LP's Hitbox is expanded 2px forward.

-G.LK's Hitbox is expanded 2px horizontally.

Character Colors:






Jadoo Start: Recolored her hair from Pink to Light Brown, gave
it normal skin colors, and brightened her skirt. At first, I
wanted this color to bear some resemblance to Sailor Chibi
Moon, since I based Jadoo's back dash on hers. The color didn't
really work, though. Her hair blended too much with her attire,
so I decided to change it.



Jadoo Mode+HP: Gave her a new skin color. Her attire is now a
weird assortment of colors, like Roll's Hold color.

Rev. 2.5 Changelist

 System changes:

-Added more conditional code for the New Femme Fatales back
 dashing out of wakeup. Jadoo couldn't chain her back dashes
 consistently, which has now been fixed.

-Boss Rush cancels the KO slow motion only on 4+ star speed.

-In Arcade Mode, the computer now grants you one second of
 throw invincibility when they wake up. This way, Zangief can't
 SPD you on the exact frame after he wakes up, for example.

-The CPU takes much longer to mash out of dizzy. There's
 extreme cases like Zangief and Dictator for example, who
 sometimes could recover from their dizzy state in only 3
 frames. In fact, the CPU's internal dizzy timer can be as
 short as only 1 second, so I added an extra measure to ensure
 they can't snap out of their dizziness so quickly.

-Back dashes and landing from jumps now give you 12 frames
 of throw invincibility against the computer in Arcade Mode.

-Projectile impact slow motion is 8 frames shorter.

Jadoo:

-Tweaked her wakeup animation from sweep knockdowns, as well as
 her air reset and Headbutt animations.

-Crouching Foot Hurtbox is moved 2px backwards.

-S.MP's Hitbox is expanded 2px upwards, so it can hit the car
 in the 1st Bonus Stage before any of its parts are destroyed.

-C.LK and C.MK's Hitboxes are expanded 2px forward.

-C.HK's 1st Hitbox is expanded 4px forward.

-Hundred Hand Slap Finisher's Hitbox is expanded 16px
 downwards.

-Fixed HP Hundred Hand Slap's Finisher not having a Hitbox. It
 couldn't hit at all.

Roll:

-The 2nd part of her crouch reel is no longer considered
 internally as standing.

-C.HK makes the CPU respond in a different way, which seems to
 make it easier to setup her C.HK → C.HP → Puny Peach combo
 against the CPU.

-Super Roll's J.LP can knockdown airborne opponents at the
 expense of its overhead properties.

-Super Roll's Puny Peach active Foot Hurtbox is reduced 2px
 downwards.

Ken:

-S.HK travels further. It can reach Zangief starting from full
 screen in 5 S.HK's, down from 8.

Mai:

-Ryuu Enbu is given mid-body invulnerability, which partially
 mirrors how its HP version was in Fatal Fury Special.

-Ryuu Enbu's Hitbox is reduced 6px upwards, so it doesn't beat
 Roll's Puny Peach as easily if Roll spaces her move so that
 she's over Mai's elbow. It does little to affect her juggle
 game, though.

Emily:

-Fixed Emily facing away from the Director. I found out that
 the last frame of Fei Long's ending animation uses the same
 parameter set as the 1st frame of his Punch Throw, bizarrely
 enough. I had edited the parameters of the 1st throw frame to
 have Emily facing the other direction.

-Rekkas travel 1/8 faster.

Dictator:

-Reverted the nerfs to Head Stomp's Hitboxes for human players.

-Under CPU control, Dictator now has larger Hurtboxes to make
 him easier to swat out of the air, and to offset his
 evasiveness. His Hitboxes are also much smaller, and most of
 his attacks do less damage.

 As an example, his slide can't beat the vulnerable part of
 Belva's G.LK now.

Madonna:

-S.MP's Hitbox is expanded 4px horizontally.

-Swan Kicks' last hit recovers 4 frames faster.

Belva:

-Fixed her intro animation so her stance loops correctly. It
 was noticeable during Bonus Stages.

-C.HK's 1st startup frame uses her Crouching Head Hurtbox.

-Flight now gives Belva 1 second of throw invincibility against
 the computer.
