HK Cruel Fate (214HK) increased KD advantage when final hit connects mid-air opponent

2MK can now cancel to Drive Impact 2f earlier (on the first active frame)

OD Cannon Strike (j.214KK) frame advantage is now fixed when connecting on first active frame, 0 oH / -2 oB

HK Spinning Bird Kick ([2]8HK) startup 21 -> 20; now combos from 2MP and Stance MK

5HP increased forward movement (much more total range)

- When spaced out, DR~2LK can be up to +10, linking to 5HP

Water Slicer Slide (3MK) first 4 active frames have set recovery; always +1 oH / -5 oB at worse
- These 4 frames also cause a knockdown on Punish Counter (KD +37), greatly enhancing its use as a whiff punish

- On hit, 1f longer hitconfirm window for CH/PC combo extensions
