• Akuma released

Universal Changes:

• Back Throw oki has generally been weakened when throwing opponent into the corner
• Drive Reversal on block -8 -> -6 and can no longer be low-profiled

• Drive Parry:
  • Throw hurtbox expanded; strike/projectile hurtbox expanded from frame 3~
  • Minimum parry time increased by 8f total (extra 4f active + 4f recovery)

• Can no longer override the damage scaling of a Drive Impact Stun performed at the max distance from corner (bug fix)
