v1.1 
//Thanks for the support on Commando, everyone. Got some really great reception and I'm happy with the way he's turned out.
//This is an early patch to address some of the main concerns about him being overly weak- I don't want him to be particularly powerful, but I definitely over-did it on the release build.
//I've done some quick fixes to make playing him more fun and rewarding at a base level, as well as some small fixes to items that were having a huge impact on play.
//I have more item changes and stuff to fix in mind, but i wanted to get out a quick patch while hes hot off the press so that I can get some better feedback about items, and hopefully people have more fun playing him lol.

+You can now win as Commando.
Normals: 
    Fair landing lag: 10 -> 7
    Fair startup (Pre-charge): 12 -> 10 
    Fair startup (Post-charge): 6 -> 3
    Fair knockback: 7 + .6 -> 8 + .6
    Experimental: F-Air is now considered a 'Strong', procing items such as Kjaros/Runalds band and ATG.
    
    DStrong: All hitboxes damage increased. Now does 4% on muzzle flash, 4% on final hit, and 3% on multihit (atk speed only). 
        -Effectively, this means that D-Strong should do 8% minimum when landing the quick first hit.
        ~also fixes an issue where the left side did 1% more on occasion lol
    Dstrong startup (Pre-charge): 8 -> 6
    
Specials:
    F-Special Ground (Tactical Slide) Startup: 6 -> 7
    U-Special (Frag Grenade) grenade is now destroyed if Commando is hit out of the move.
    
Misc:
    -Adjusted various hurtboxes to remove stray gun or limb pixels, increasing Commandos disjoint.
    (Moves affected: DStrong, FAir, FStrong, DTilt, BAir, Jab)
    
Items:
    -Wax Quail now properly works with "Dashstart", effectively letting it be used more often and more consistently.
    -You can no longer hover using 'Photon Jetpack' while in hitstun or parried.
    -You can no longer fastfall using 'H3AD-5T v2' while in hitstun or parried.
    -All 'missiles' (ATG, ATGMK2, Plasma Shrimp, Ceremonial Daggers) now properly inherent the launch angle of the move that proc'ed it.
    -Laser Scope & Ignition Tank now properly adjust hitboxes with regards to Up Air.
    
    -Ukulele final hit KBS: 1.2 -> 1.1
    -Ukulele final hit made slightly taller, it shouldn't drop now. If it does, let me know and I'll add grab code.


v1.2
General:
	+ Added TAG alt.
Items (Major changes):
    + Added Captain's Brooch, a Rare item that lets you collect even more chests.
    + Ignition Tank may now forcibly reroll chest items to become burn items, starting at a 50% chance and decreasing exponentially with burn items held.
        // Ignition Tank already tilted the odds in your favor under the hood, but this effect should be more obvious and feel more consistent.
    + Aegis is no longer obtainable through normal means.
        // This item felt bad for the same reasons as Ignition Tank, but would enable severely unhealthy playstyles if buffed in the same way.

Normals:
    + The first time you use Jab 1 per-attack (eg without looping using attack speed), it will force flinch the opponent for consistency.
    + Jab 1 BKB: 4 -> 5, BHP: 2 -> 4
    + Jab is slightly longer to more closely match the visual.
        // Should make jab a lot more consistent and generally feel as if expected.
    + DStrong launcher KBS: 0.7 -> 0.9, HPS: 0.5 -> 0.8
    - DStrong: Re-added whifflag
    
DSpecial:
    + Reduced intial arming time: 300 -> 100.
    + Reduced the amount of hits to recharge after dropping small chest: 5 -> 4.
    * The chest now makes a sound when it is armed, when upgrading into a large chest, or when called prematurely.
        // These changes should make it feel more rewarding and intuitive to use Small Chests.
        
Specials:
    - Grounded FSpec startup: 7 -> 10
    * FSpec now has a sound effect on frame 1.
    
Items (Minor changes):
    + Bustling Fungus: Activation time 90f -> 60f, earliest healing tick 120f -> 60f.
    + Sticky Bomb: Deactivates on galaxies.
    - Fire Shield: No longer burns invincible foes.
    + Rusty Jetpack: Now increases USpecial's recovery distance.
    + Locked Jewel: Now gives armor during chest-opening animation.

    + Laser Turbine: Damage dealt to reach a full charge: 90 -> 60
    - Ignition Tank, Aegis: No longer alters item weights when collected.
    
Bugfixes:
    * Hopefully implimented a failsafe for Chests getting stuck on the edge of platforms or stages.
        // We cannot reproduce or diagnose this issue without replays or error logs, so please be sure to save those if you encounter this bug.
    * Collecting an item while near the edge of the stage will now move the text box within its bounds, for readability.
    * Commando's CPU very technically functions. 


v1.3
// Commando's gameplan currently overcentralizes around pressing FSpecial, Jab, and NAir,
// often abusing properties of the former two moves that weren't entirely intended.
// This patch aims to pare back these extreme strengths while putting some power back
// into other parts of Commando's kit that needed extra help.

// Jab is being monitored for potential startup nerfs, but its intended strengths are
// being left in place for now due to the significance of FSpecial's changes.

Normals:
	- Jab inner hitbox no longer hits above Commando
	* Jab can no longer be cancelled into its final hit with the PARRY button in its last five frames of endlag
		// Fixes an issue where buffering parries out of Jab was needlessly challenging.
    + FTilt startup: 6 -> 4
    + DAttack: Added IASA window, reducing endlag by 6/9 frames on hit/whiff
    + DAttack: Removed ground friction during active frames, increasing the move's effective range
    + FStrong damage: 9% -> 11%
    + FStrong BKB: 7 -> 8
    - DStrong launcher hitpause scaling: 0.8 -> 1
    * DStrong hit SFX made stronger
    + UStrong tipper KBG: 0.8 -> 1
    - NAir hurtbox slightly increased on front foot
    - FAir post-charge startup: 3 -> 6
    - FAir hitbox generally decreased
    - FAir hurtbox no longer excludes shotgun
    
DSpecial:
	+ Browsing a Tri-Shop is now jump-cancellable
	+ The Tri-Shop HUD will now fade away gradually if cancelled
	* Tri-Shop will now accept control stick inputs from 15 degrees below each horizontal
	
Specials:
    - FSpecial is IASA f10 -> f14
	* FSpecial begins moving on f10 (unchanged)
	- FSpecial-Air is IASA f11 -> f16
	- FSpecial-Air begins moving on f11 -> f12
	- FSpecial-Air is now subject to a 100-frame cooldown, resetting upon landing (in addition to its usual airtime limits)
	   // Addresses interactions where Commando would repeatedly mash FSpecial out of hitstun.
	- FSpecial cancels now inherits FSpecial-Air's horizontal speed clamping when airborne
	   // Addresses an issue where Commando could achieve unintentionally high horizontal speeds with a double jump.
	- FSpecial-Air cancels now clamp horizontal speed for all cancel types (previously excluded attacks)
	- FSpecial-Air cancels clamp horizontal speed to 1.5x -> 1.3x Commando's max air speed
	
Items (Minor changes):
    + Guardian Heart: On hit, the barrier activation timer now advances based on the damage dealt
    + Guardian Heart: Max barrier per stack: 5% -> 10%
    + Laser Turbine: Damage dealt to reach a full charge: 90 -> 60
    + Trophy Hunter's Tricorn: FStrong damage: 11%/12% -> 14%
    + Classified Access Codes: Launcher KBG: 0.9 -> 1.2

    + Classified Access Codes: Can now be aimed while the chest is still arming
    
Bugfixes:
    * Fixed alignment issues on chest highlights
    * All Taunts now correctly use Commando's idle hurtbox
    * Sticky Bomb no longer improperly deactivates on whiteline hits
    * Laser Turbine description now correctly states that it is charged by dealing damage
        // Note that on-hit damage-scaling effects don't currently account for extra damage from items.
        // This may be revisited in a future patch.
    * [Hotfix] Fixed color mapping on Guardian's Heart win portrait.

v1.4
/* To the surprise of noone, here's Jab nerfs.
   As an aside, this means that FTilt is now
   Commando's fastest option, which should be
   a bit healthier as a fast panic button.
   
   [Slated for after Vortex.]
   [TODO: Needs testing.]
*/

Normals:
	- Jab startup, all hits: f4 -> f5
	- Jab range reduced
	- Jab's hurtbox generally increased
		// It's now easier to trade with or punish from above.
	+ Jab's gun is now disjointed during startup
		// Not a compensation buff. This frame was just janky.

Bugfixes:
    * Fixed erroneous behavior when buffering moves out of DTilt
