Modified Characters
2.1.0

- Mounted
- Fixed an unintended issue where, when landing from being airborne without attacking only in Mounted Mode, there was a very short time before the frame where the player could move or jump.
- Changed so that the player is no longer considered to be in a low-altitude aerial state while mounting, and is instead considered standing. This removes its functionality as a low-risk escape method that would otherwise help to avoid opponent's follow-up attacks.

- Down Evade
- Down Evade is now possible when an opponent is flying and the Same Move Limit has been reached.
- Fixed an issue where, if an attack would ordinarily not allow Down Evade, but reaches its Same Move Limit and Down Evade is performed, the hurtbox would extend too far upward.

- Okuyasu Nijimura's "I'm scraping away space!"
- Kars's "Victory is everything!"
- Fixed an unintended issue causing some characters with teleports (abilities that let them instantly change position) to teleport incorrectly when near a wall. For example:
