1.3.0

 * "Assault Assist"
 * Changed the attack type from a hit throw/grab to a strike
 * This corrects a bug that caused the opponent to become unable to act when performing a move that generates an activation sequence (such as HHA) after being hit.

1.4.0

 * "Emerald Splash" Ground and Aerial versions
 * Fixed so that if the same skill hits 3 times or more, the opponent now gets downed (unintended bug)

1.5.0

 * "I'll need to punish you" HHA
 * Modified to apply combo scaling up to a maximum of 50% (common rule not previously applied)
