SSBM Hybrid 64 v2.1 Patch Notes

Hybrid 64 ver. 2.1 Patch Notes:

Main Focus:
- Add 64 mechanics to enhance the game.
- Character balance adjustments.
- Adjust sword hitboxes so they won't clip below the ledge.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Yoshi can slide off ledges while shielding.
- Removed "GuardDamage" FSMs. Shieldstun now works as the game intended. (Thanks, Taukhan!)

Additions:
- Yoshi now suffers shield stun like the rest of the cast. (Thanks, Taukhan!)
- UCF v0.73 has been added into the game.
- Stick Hop has been added. (Smash 64 mechanic)
	• Characters jump at differing heights depending on how the analog stick was moved upward.
	• A Full Stick Hop has characters jump higher than their normal button hops.
	• The height a character gains is unique. Some characters' stick hops give more height than others.
- Running/Slanted Hop has been added. (Smash 64 mechanic)
	• Characters have a lower jump height if performed while dashing/running. This also affects Stick Hops.
- Imported more Smash 64 Sound Effects:
	• Fox's laser
	• Ness's PSI Magnet
	• Rolling
	• Menu SFX
	• Pause
	• Electric Hits
	• Fire Hits
	• Some Explosion/Fire Effects

Mechanics Changes:
- Shield knockback decreased.
- Base Shield Stun: FSMs -> 6 (In vMelee, the default value is 2. There should be no difference in shield stun compared
			       to the previous patch when it had FSMs.)
