Kirby Touchups

[ethangarsia517]

Some of Kirby's move stats were touched up to make his strongest moves a bit less egregious, and less, dare I say, free.

TLDR:

- [-] Up Air is slightly weaker.
- [-] Up Air combos into itself less.
+ [+] Back Air is slightly stronger.
+ [+] Full Charge Hammer got some of its lost power back.
+ [+] Aerial Hammer does more damage with the same horizontal KO power, and just a tad better vertical KO power.
- [-] Final Cutter Shot is less effective at edgeguarding/sniping as it pops opponents higher.
- [-] Stone is weaker.
- [-] Kirby can no longer perform aerial options out of grounded Stone untransform without drifting away from the floor he was on.

Kirby

Up Aerial

Early Hit:
- [-] Angle: 72 -> 70
~ [/] BKB: 5 -> 35
- [-] KBG: 120 -> 100
Late Hit:
~ [/] BKB: 5 -> 15
- [/] KBG: 120 -> 104

# With more horizontal angle, it loses a tiny bit of vertical KO power, KO's around 4-8% later.
# More importantly, higher BKB+angle allows foes to escape combos a little easier and differentiates the from Neutral Air at low percent.
# Still a strong finisher. 

Back Aerial

Early Hit:
+ [+] BKB: 19 -> 20
+ [+] KBG: 104 -> 106

# Some of the power lost in Up Air was moved here. It KOs 3-6% sooner, and still not the nuke it once was.

Final Cutter

Falling (Early Hit):
- [-] KBG: 115 -> 105
# The move no longer spikes, but it should be less of a KO move considering how hard it is to challenge.

Projectile
Early Hit:
+ [+] Damage: 5% -> 8%
~[/] BKB: 85 -> 70
# Since Final Cutter is no longer a 3 Hit Combo with this as a finisher, getting this finisher should yield higher damage.
Late Hit:
~ [/] BKB: 60 -> 70
- [-] Angle: 45 -> 60
# Pops opponents up much higher with less traveled distance with no/good DI.

Hammer Flip

Ground (Fully Charged)
+ [+] Damage: 32% -> 34%
+ [+] BKB: 55 -> 58
+ [+] KBG: 72 -> 74
# Giving Fully Charged Hammer some of the power it lost in a previous patch since it was a bit too much.

Air (Strong Hit 1)
+ [+] Damage: 12% -> 14%
~ [/] BKB: 60 -> 54
~ [/] KBG: 102 -> 96
~ [/] Angle: 50 -> 52
Air (Weak Hit 1)
+ [+] Damage: 10% -> 11%
~ [/] BKB: 66 -> 64
~ [/] KBG: 73 -> 70
~ [/] Angle: 65 -> 67

Air (Strong Hit 2) -
+ [+] Damage: 10% -> 12.5%
~ [/] BKB: 67 -> 53
~ [/] KBG: 92 -> 90
~ [/] Angle: 38 -> 42
Air (Weak Hit 2) -
+ [+] Damage: 8.5% -> 10%
~ [/] BKB: 66 -> 62
~ [/] KBG: 70 -> 66
~ [/] Angle: 53 -> 57
# The hoeizontal KO power is the exact same, but with higher damage output. Just a tad better for vertical KOs.

Stone

Falling:
- [-] Damage: 18% -> 17%
# KO's 6-10% later. (None-Good DI)

Ground:
- [-] FAF (transforming out): 28F -> 32F
# When transforming out grounded, disables aerial escape options, aerials, and aerial special options as FAF is pretty much when he touches the ground, unless he drifts offstage or off a platform.
