Katana Vanguard#

  • move_id: heavy_launcher
    • Increased recovery from 26 to 29 frames after corner-loop telemetry showed excessive conversion reliability.
  • move_id: cross_up_kick
    • Reduced block advantage from -1 to -3 so fastest launch normals can contest repeated cross-up pressure.

Grapple Monk#

  • move_id: corner_route
    • Normalized route damage to 180 to keep launch-combo reward aligned with the public frame-data spreadsheet.
  • move_id: low_feint
    • Kept startup and recovery stable; note retained for citation coverage in the release-candidate corpus.
