Update history

1.0.8

• Ending lag (FAF 81 → 73)
• Down throw deals drastically less knockback (40 (base)/300 (scaling) → 70/130) and it launches opponents at a higher angle (361° → 70°). This completely removes its KO potential but when combined with its lower ending lag, this grants it combo potential.
