• Special Move Changes:
  • Knife Throw (236P) - LP version has much faster startup

• 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
