Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega

Bafcord Omega Doc - Cody
Detailed Frame Data with USF4 Comparisons - Cody

• General/Movement Changes:
  • Walk speed decreased (Forward: 0.0425 > 0.038) - USF4 buff reverted
  • Forward Dash: 2f faster (18f > 16f)
  • Throw: slightly shorter range

• Normal Move Changes:
  • -
    
    
  • Crack Kick - 6HK - when juggled into, opponents drop more quickly, preventing most followup juggles
  • Final Combination - 6LP~LP... - New target combo sequence with a few possible routes; can start a juggle vs. airborne opponents, but 6LP itself has no juggle potential
    • Feint - 6LP~LP~4LP - quickly does a backwards punch after 2 hits with incredibly fast recovery (+7/+2), allowing Cody to loop this up to 4 times
    • Final Combination Ender - 6LP~LP~LP~LP - On hit, opponent is launched for a quick juggle state; can cancel final hit into Knife Throw or Super
    • Final Combination Throw - 6LP~LP~LP~2LP - Side switch similar to Guy's Bushin Chain Throw; only works on hit vs. grounded opponents

• Special Move Changes:
  • Mega Crash (KKK) - New move - fast, invincible reversal for 1 bar, hits on both sides
  • Crime Sway (2KKK) - New move - fast, invincible dodge (vulnerable to throws)
  • EX Low Bad Stone (236LP+HP) - New version of EX Rock Throw, much faster and can hit under some projectiles
  • Bad Stone (236P) - Level 2/3 charged versions now have a set startup time regardless of when you release punch
    • In USF4, Cody would start throwing the rock as soon as the button was released
  • Knife Throw (Knife 236P) - LP version has much faster startup
  • Zonk Knuckle (Hold + release P) - all versions have faster startup; Level 2/3 meterless versions are safer on block and require less charge time
  • Criminal Upper (214P) - LP/MP versions are faster with fewer hits, HP is slower
    • EX no longer has invincibility
  • Ruffian Kick (236K) - EX version is 3 hits and launches opponent for a juggle
    • All versions except MK are slightly safer on block

• Super/Ultra Changes:
  • Super (236236K / 2xQCF+K) - faster, more damage, safe on block
    • No longer has 3 different versions; has both a strike and sand-kick projectile hitbox at the beginning
  • Ultra 2 (214214+PPP / 2xQCB+PPP) - non-cinematic version juggles properly after the sand kick, giving it much more utility
    • Both the cinematic and non-cinematic versions do significantly more damage

• Moves with ending Input Buffer:
  • Close 5LP, 5MP, 5HP, 5LK, 5HK; Far 5LP, 5MP; 2LP, 2MP, 2HP, 2LK; Knife 5LP, 5MP, 2LP, 2HP
  • Stomach Blow (6MP), Jaw Crusher (4MP), Crack Kick (6HK), Final Combination Feint (6LP~LP~4LP), Final Combination full (6LP~LP~LP~LP)
  • EX Low Bad Stone (236LP+HP), LP Criminal Upper (214LP), HK/EX Ruffian Kick (236HK/KK), Focus Attack + Forward Dash
