Update History

3.1.0

• Raptor Boost's uppercut has less startup lag (frame 6 → 5).
• Raptor Boost's armor has a higher damage threshold (8% → 10%).
• Grounded Raptor Boost deals more hitstun (+0 → +3).

8.0.0

• The uppercut launches at a higher angle (76° → 85°) and has much less knockback scaling (52 → 30). This allows it to combo at a wider percent range, including a read into Knee Smash.
• The uppercut's innermost hitbox stretches much farther horizontally (Z offset: 5.5u → 5.5u—12.5u), increasing its range.
• The overhand's meteor hitbox has the highest priority, making the move easier to meteor smash with.
