i always say "open for inputs!" but please god give me inputs please please give people inputs on LATEST versions like betas or whatever
thank yall to people who have helped with the feedback on the update!!
special thanks to sir sparx21!

v1.8
fixes
- fixed the issue where parrying lumina's dtilt didn't put lumina into parry stun.
- fixed the issue where getting hit out of dspecial when you are charging with lightfield would stop the light field in place.

notes
sorry to disappoint you but it's just bugfixes.

v1.7
additions

- you can now also slam into the light sentry (after startup) with aerial dspecial to bounce up a bit
- phone

changes
- tco art changed. i think. i haven't tested it yet
- this doesn't affect gameplay because i added iasa but dtilt has a longer end animation. for visuals. again it has iasa so it's cancellable
- ...in doing this, i've accidentally made dtilt dash-bufferable. might be fun? i'm gonna keep it 'til this is an issue
- doesn't affect gameplay either but extended the dash stop animation. you can still act out the same frames as before.
- you may have noticed that "lethal" fair hit plays an additional sound effect. i added an additional hitstop/hitpause as well for when it happens.
- you can no longer go into bottom blastzone while in the startup of uspecial.

fixes
- typo on info. thanks Snolid Ice! ... idk why they removed the info button.

notes
sorry for bein all-so-late. i had to finish poke floats and update all the other things
thank you to sir sparx for providing me with balance suggestions!
thanks for still reading the changelog. i very much appreciate you
open for inputs!

notes for sir sparx;
- - re: fstrong reason text
i catch that, yeah. sir trail mix was the one holding me from making it a bit more stronger, and before now i trusted them since they were the one who did lumina values in the first place. but at the moment i think i should try changing it first to see if it causes any issue or not. if it doesn't, great!
thank you for writing so much for lumina and me
- - re: dstrong reason text
your hitpause suggestions feel really good so i'd been referencing it to fix feri a bit. i can trust you on hitpause
- - re: ustrong reason text
some things i've heard of base cast hitpause have been confusing though, but for now i think yours work well
i made a new hit effect for some of these. hopefully they sell the hit
- - re: uncharged nspecial reason text
yeah fair - might look off right now but i can always adjust later
- - re: charged nspecial reason text
hm. first thing here that i'm a little bit conflicted bout. as a copy of beam kirby bullet, i really didn't think it'd be right to have it travel fast, but moreover it being fast didn't quite look right. might be a graphics issue? but this was purely a selfish gamefeel decision i guess
had to take a middle ground on speed for this one that i felt a little more comfortable with. i apologize for this
if you're not satisfied with this, we can always argue later and update accordingly
- - re: uspecial reason text
yeah sorry keyboard players
- - re: fspecial reason text
gotchu. outline tool in aseprite is useful
- - re: grounded dspecial ledge bug reason text
former part was an experiment by trail mix, and is an INTENDED behavior. i have now moved it to a "hold" behavior though, seeing as people seem conflicted by this. had to make a new graphic though which is A
latter part is definitely not intended, but supersonic has provided me with a fix for this! so that'll be going away as well.
- - re: aerial dspecial reason text
you are indeed repeating yourself, but it's fair
again your hitpause input is very appreciated!
added hit effect and stuff as well while i'm at it
- - re: jab reason text
jab is kinda static to be authentic to mirror kirby, also i was in a character race
i also can't think of much ways to add any animation to other body parts, so i had to skip this one for now. sorry
- - re: copy ability reason text
been lazy ;-; also copy ability has been kinda daunting from my experience with acid copy
- - re: note text
in my eyes i don't think much anims need redoing, but maybe just me, also lazy ;-;

once again, thank you too for balance/tweak suggestions!

v1.3
additions
- you can now influence the direction & distance you summon the fspecial field. hold up, down, or special

changes
- alt colors adjusted so that the first three are hopefully more appealing now. if you prefer the old ones, you can @ me
- switched around the color so that the "dust" color doesn't use the color of the skin for some reason (now uses the "blue" color from the robe)
- bair hit in fspecial area will shoot bullets backwards
- as a side-effect of preventing fspecial field angled down from not doing anything, fspecial field now disappears when it hits a wall (experimental)

balances
-- -- idk
- uncharged nspecial multihit knockback adjusted (2 -> 4)

-- -- beneficial
- dash attack early hit angle adjusted (361 -> 60)
- fstrong angle adjusted a bit lower (55 -> 49)
- bair endlag reduced a bit (19 -> 15) (hopefully able to recover from below ledge)

-- -- counterplay
- aerial dspecial sweetspot angle adjusted (292 -> 272) (tech better)
- aerial dspecial sweetspot knockback adjusted
- implemented got_parry on charged nspecial bullet so that it can properly hit lumina afterwards (proper punish with parry)
- put extended parry stun on fspecial field shatter bullet (proper punish with parry)

notes
open for inputs!

hello to the curious you who is reading the actual changelog.
