 The disillusioned magical girl of time is here to battle for her best friend at all costs, Homura Akemi is finally complete and ready for your MUGEN. Turns out this character was relatively easier to do compared to the complexity that was Akyuu and my first attempt that was Sayaka. As before, she operates under the same base gameplay mechanics as my previous characters, however, she focuses heavily on zoning and keepaway unlike the other two.

 Get here here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DihnFereY4N0FvYRfx

 On a side note, Sayaka Miki and Hieda no Akyuu have been updated.

 Both said:
- Fixed bug that randomly fails to trigger custom state on guard crush.
- Fixed some inconsistencies in graphical and sound effects, particularly for custom states.
- Fixed counter hit bug that made damage bonuses and custom states persist beyond the actual counter hit.

Sayaka Miki said:
- Fixed super armor bug in Oratorio.
- Corrected a custom state bug for x version of Scherzo.

Hieda no Akyuu said:
- Tweaked damage scaling
- Fixed a bug in her Miare Bomb's armor.
- Retooled x and z versions for Request of the Year so that the z version is air unblockable regardless of level instead of both being unblockable at level 4.
- Minor fixes to hitboxes and velocities so that aerial combos connect more consistently.

Her jumping Light attack seems to be an infinite juggle if nailed on an airborne opponent and can be spammed on the opponent, and they can't air recover out of it.
There was a sig here. Its gone now (thanks photobucket ya fecks)

 Ah, thanks for pointing this out. That was an oversight when I was experimenting with the juggle system, but forgot to restore the recovery back when I got too focused trying to fix a dreaded guard crush bug.

 Anyway, updated accordingly, unrecoverable light jumping attack shouldn't be happening anymore now.

Yeah, its recoverable now, if still a bit spammable. Should add more recovery time or whathaveyou to the air light attack.

 I'll see about maybe adding a frame or two of endlag to the light attack series, although jab type attacks regardless of standing, crouching or air for all my characters do scale damage more than most of their attacks, so, I'll have to see how to weigh those factors in.

 Alright, made a small update to Homura, Akyuu and Sayaka where a sound and graphical effect error occurred occasionally due to a mis-assignment on my part.

 Also, made it so that Homura's air jab cancels into itself 1 frame later than before.

 Another small update to Homura. Realized that time still remains frozen if the time stop intro is skipped, so, I fixed it so the freeze is skipped properly. Not too impacting on actual gameplay, but I know this is still important to some people who would just like to skip an intro right away anyway.

It sure is nice when a character you've made gets a video spotlight.  I've no doubt that anything you make in the future will be similarly featured as well.

 Decided to make early updates for all characters this time instead of waiting until I release my next character, so, have fun with that, everyone.

 Here's Homura's updates...

- Buffed Airstrike; reduced start-up and increased damage.
- Improved aesthetics.
- Fixed bug that made certain bullet based projectiles unblockable at point blank range.
- AT-4 now penetrates through most projectiles.

 The updates for everyone including Homura...

- Fixed wall bounce animations, hurtboxes and a bug that was found in them.
- Fixed ground bounce animations and hurtboxes.
- Fixed custom tripping animations and hurtboxes.
- Revised projectile reflectors for characters who have one.
- Added Gold Burst and Bursting now uses up all juggle points on hit.
- Revised ground teching to be similar to Melty Blood's.
- Revised lv3/lv5 super aesthetics.
- Tweaked all damage scaling.

 A minor mechanic revision update for all characters since I've finally figured out how to make certain things work.

- Made ground teching more consistent in that it will work even against knockback that can't be recovered from normally with the exception of most custom hit states much like Melty Blood.
- Most ground normals with certain exceptions such as launchers and dash attacks can be cancelled into a jump on hit or on block much like aerial normals can; alas reinforcing the Guilty Gear inspiration further.
- To compensate for the above, all aerial normals will cause both P1 and P2 to experience increased push back the more a grounded opponent is being combo'd or the lower their guard crush meter is.

All Characters:

- Tweaked cornerpush on all characters for slightly more leniency and more consistency.
- Tweaked air dash thresholds in terms of starting height and timing for control after starting an air dash is gained.

Homura:

- Overall increased damage for many moves with damage scaling compensated.
- Time Stop Special revamped, making it a more practical move now.

 Very quick update since there was an annoying bug I accidentally left behind while updating the burst system.

- Corrected a bug where burst couldn't be used until you get hit after the start of a round.
