v1.13

More Updated Animations

v1.12

The start of my new visual update. You'll see. I plan to remake all of Steven's sprites with actual pixel art. After that I might go back in and add some new mechanics or balance patches.

v1.11

Neutral Special: Throwing the shield upwards now has higher gravity so it doesn't look stupid. Also fixed issue with the shield despawning immediately on some stages.

Down Air: No longer prevents Steven from floating if used when floating

v1.10

Thrown Shield no longer awkwardly loses all speed if it bounces off an enemy too fast

Down Tilt: Move is slower, hitbox much larger and now sends opponents away instead of a set angle, and further to compensate.

Up Tilt: Move is slower, weak hitbox was made smaller but strong hitbox on the shield itself was made considerably stronger.

v1.9

Reinstates and fixes previous Throwable Shield behavior, you can now catch the shield again and it properly bounces off of enemies and doesn't float up when landing.

v1.8

Neutral Special: Make weaker, slower, and lighter

Down Strong: Hitboxes reworked to feel better, and the shields now move faster

Steven is now slower, and lighter

v1.6

v1.5

v1.4

Jab: Jab 3 was readjusted to start sooner

Forward Tilt: Higher Knockback scaling

Forward Air: Higher knockback scaling

Up Air: Higher knockback scaling

All Strongs: Now can't be used as long as the shield is still up

Up Strong: Now has a hitbox that pulls opponents into the attack, along with a new animation. To compensate the move was made slightly weaker

Forward Special: Now pauses during hitstun

Neutral Special: Code for catching the shield was optimized, hopefully this fixes previous crashes but I haven't tested it

Victory Theme: Steven now has multiple quotes he can say during the victory theme

v1.3

Following Animations have been improved:

Jab
Down Special

Jab: Steven now has a traditional 3 hit jab combo

Down Special: Move is overall shorter

Up Strong: Readjusted hitbox timing to align with the new animation

Down Tilt: Features different animation when using alts
