System
----------------------
-Pause menu also displays controls used to nagivate the menu. They also make mention of Forward + Attack commands as well.
-Hard knockdowns use a different sfx.
-Arcade mode's order has been reorganized since Star Man and Thonolan aren't new to the builds anymore:
--Order 1 (Urban Champion, Mario) (1983-1984) (2 opponents)
--Order 2 (Dig Dug, Bomberman) (1985) (1 opponent)
--Order 3 (Samus, Simon, Star Man) (1986) (2 opponents)
--Order 4 (Bonus)
--Order 5 (Mega Man, Ryu) (1987, 1988) (2 opponents)
--Order 6 (Thonolan) (1992) (1 opponent)
 
Stages
----------------------
-New stage: Factory from Mighty Final Fight.
 
Bonus Stages
----------------------
-New bonus stage!: Mad Gear Gang-Up
--Fight off all the Mad Gear grunts before they beat your ass.
-Hit the Spinies stage does not have a delay when you turn around. (This also applies to Mad Gear Gang-Up)
 
Characters
----------------------
-All characters now use the EXPLODsive buffering system by JustNoPoint and Jmorphman. This fixes issues with what MUGEN's default command system had.
--All the charge characters (Simon, Thonolan, Dig Dug) now use SNK-like charge mechanics which in turn:
---Charging is based on input rather than the direction you're facing. (This also allows charge characters to use moves that require a back charge in bonus stages)
---Allows them to charge during hitpauses.
-All characters can summon in mid-air now. Holding down while hitting Select will allow you to summon the crouch variant of the helper.
-Helpers can be summoned mid-attack. This costs double the helper meter requirement however and summons that require a full bar can't be used.
-All basic hopping attacks, air specials/supers and hopping specials/supers now have longer landing recovery when the player lands. (5 frames for basic attacks, 8 frames for specials and supers)
-Certain air attacks work a bit differently when performed near the ground:
--Air attacks that have the player float will make the player complete the action before they become grounded.
--EX air specials that obey gravity (Mega Man's Shadow Blade, Ryu's Windmill Shuriken) will refund meter if they land before tossing out their projectile. (If you get hit, the meter won't be refunded)
-Chip damage has been increased, going from 1/10th of the original damage to 1/4th.
-All air attacks now do the same hitstun on grounded opponents.
-All characters have pre-jump invinicbility.
-Hitboxes have been readjusted for certain basic animations (walking, jumping, dashing, getting hit) to be more consistent.
-Hitpauses have been extended a bit.

-Mario is now taller and is the same size as his original Super Mario sprites.

-Plumber's Punch is now +8 on hit (from +10) and 0 on block (from -2).
-Brick Breaker's range is slightly nerfed (Mario doesn't slide anymore), is now -16 on block (from -15). The damage now remains the same when his arm is fully extended out and he launches airborne opponents slightly higher.
-Mario's Air Raccoon Tail does not stop Mario's y-velocity on activation. During the start up, he also ignores gravity. (This also fixes an infinite)
-Damage nerf on EX Raccoon Tail. (175 -> 150)
-Stomp, EX Stomp and Luigi's stomp's tracking has been updated to be more accurate.y
-Punch version of Flame Launch launches the fireball at a steeper, longer angle.

painful animation error in the original animation)
-Crouching Light Kick and Crouching Strong Kick now have more range.
-Jumping Strong Punch has been changed; Urban Champion now does a reaching punch that hits
pretty far. Damage is weaker than Jumping Strong Kick and it does not shove the opponent into the
ground.
-New Command Basic: Sky Launch. This is basically Urban Champion's old Jumping Strong
Punch. In the juggle system, it is now considered a medium attack. (It can't juggle after four
juggle points instead of five now.)
-Kick Version of Quick Dash now has upper and mid-body invincibility.
-All versions of Rising Upper have had their damage nerfed. (150 -> 120, 180 -> 150)

-Spin Punch and Dodge now use new commands (Back + Punch, Back + Kick) but the input window
during Counter Attack has been reverted.
-Dodge's range has been fixed and the damage has been buffed. (90 -> 120)

-Scapegoat has gained more active frames and dropped some recovery frames.

Sewer Brawl.

opponent forwards. After throwing, Balloon Fighter will attempt to fly away as fast as he can.

flipper.

counting towards the juggle counter.
