Console Changes

• Crouching C has more cancelable frames.
• Ukihane (Air d+B) has a different trajectory than Arcade, and recovery time has been changed.
• Added new target combo: st.B > st.D. It can be used to connect into HD mode and also gives Mai more damage on pokes.
• Kachousen (qcf+P) has faster startup and faster recovery.
• Musasabi no Mai (from ground) (d~u+P) can be canceled with Ukihane (d+B).
• Light Ryuu Enbu (qcb+A) hitbox is larger vertically.
• Added EX Air Chou Hissatsu Shinobibachi (Air qcb hcf+BD). It is invincible until it becomes active.
• Shiranui Ryuu: Kunoichi no Mai (qcf hcb+AC) has faster startup and freezes time after flying to the edge of screen.
