- Fixed the thought bubble in the turns intro, which was displaying incorrectly
 - The thought bubble used in various intros, default taunt, and Kamukura were incorrectly not bound to Shingo; they now are locked in
   place relative to his position
 - Added custom hit states for the upward launching kicks in Oboro Guruma Mikansei; this should help all hits connect, even against
   opponents who erroneously apply a VelAdd twice on a single tick multiple times as they are falling.

I'm gonna ask an odd question, but, uh, does this counts as a December release in your part of the world, Jmorphman? Or is it going to be a January one? Asking for COTM purposes.

-.101 Shiki: Oboro Guruma Mikansei
Seems like the strong/hard version of the move sometimes misses hit on the 3rd part.
Like if the 2nd part don't lunch high enough sometimes. So 3rd part jumps high with an opponent not high enough.
I cannot say what make the launcher lower sometimes on 2nd part of the move.
(I tested with different enemies)

-.100 Shiki: Oniyaki Mikansei
For this one I'm not sure either, but seems like the medium version of the move don't go higher enough compared to light and strong version.
IMO, it needs just a little tweak.
But perhaps it's just an illusion.

I am curious as to why the normal version of 'Shingo Kinsei Ore Shiki: Nie Togi' is blockable, as it was never that way in source

I have a question: how do I alter the commands of the character? Some of those commands are really bad for me to use in a keyboard.

[State -1, Shingo Kinsei Ore Shiki: Kamukura]

Did this and it broke my character. Cut and paste. Double checked my values. Still broken. Will you be adding this to the original download?

Ah, I didn't notice the post right before mentioning the commands. I'm fine with them as is. I thought it was an actual update, but you were just trying to accommodate  Macaulyn97. My mistake.

- A patch for the old 2010 version of PotS's Sakura, to add intro compatibility. I know some people are sticking with this old version so I thought I might as well put out a patch. The new, actually updated versions don't need me to provide patches anymore, of course!

Currently I'm pretty sure they don't. Hopefully they will be updated to include that compatibility, but I don't think it makes sense for me to put out a patch for stuff that is actively being worked on and getting pretty constant updates.

- As a result of a resolution miscalculation, certain hitboxes, velocities, and PosAdds that were taken from CvS2 were incorrect; data has thus been rerecorded and fixed. Hit vels have also (in most cases) been standardized to replicate CvS2 behavior.
 - Using a juggle reset move twice no longer turns on the "juggle flag" (var(16)); it is now possible to combo off that second juggle reset move by activating Custom Combo, but otherwise, continuing the combo from that second move remains impossible (in most cases).
 - State 5110 is now overriden to prevent hardcoded MUGEN behavior of early wakeup if buttons are mashed.
 - More consistent handling of whether moves do hard or soft knockdown (in general: specials except for command throws do soft knockdown, command throws and supers do hard knockdown)
 - Run stop no longer uses S physics and instead a more accurate VelAdd
 - All aerial get hit animations now use the same hitbox
 - Tweaked how hard the damage dampener kicks in when connecting a super off a juggle reset
 - Throw whiff animation has a longer recovery period
 - Most projectiles now use HitPause, HitTime, and vels identical to the ones used in medium normal attacks; however, the frame data is actually slightly improved by this change.
 - EX Slash Kick now causes wall bounce... like it did originally.
 - Resolved a bug in EX Ogon no Kakato where Joe would sometimes go above the oppponent and switch sides with them.
 - Bakuretsuken shortcut command changed to F, D, DF + p (from HCB + p)
 - Adjusted the anim timing and vels of Bakuretsu Hook; additionally, it now causes hard knockdown.
 - Bakuretsu Upper now causes a juggle reset (with a limited ability to follow up compared to EX Bakuretsuken); it also shares the juggle reset with EX Bakuretsuken. Also added a brief afterimage effect to the startup.
 - Fixed bug where Screw Upper would not connect on opponents with extremely thin hitboxes if done point blank.
 - MAX Ogon no Tiger Kick damage increased.
 - All superpauses in this character now take the same amount of time as all of my other characters; prior to this update, they all lasted 8 ticks longer compared to everyone else. This was done solely to ensure that the voice clips that play during Bakuretsu Hurricane Tiger Kakato didn't overlap over each other (the extra 8 ticks added enough of a buffer between the clips), but after playing around with it a bit, I've managed to place their respective start points in a way where they do not noticeably overlap one another.
 - All move names have been standardized to use the official names (for example, "TNT Punch" is now "Bakuretsuken")

Due to the lack of Dio palettes I've made some that I'll post here in case anyone want to use it.

This new Joe has a small bug: when he recovers from a fall close to the ground, he'll sink in.
