Freddy Fazbear v1.14 (Golden Freddy update)

This one's a doozy! Due to complaints (and my general dissatisfaction with the state of Freddy's gimmick), Dread has been scrapped in favor of a much more straightforward gimmick: Faz-Meter. While it functions essentially the same, Faz-Meter is not reliant on attacks to be filled- rather it is solely reliant on landing Freddy's counter, Haywire. Haywire's utility has also been improved significantly, while still retaining its core concept. Holding down the special button during its active frames will now increase its duration (similar to Joker's Rebel's Guard in Smash Ultimate). It has also seen a slight increase to its endlag as well, to keep it in check and retain its risk/reward factor.

I believe these changes significantly improve the flow of his gimmick, as well as giving him some much-needed "uniqueness". I hope you have fun with it! In any case without further ado, onto the specifics:

General:

Up strong and down strong have received minor animation changes to improve their legibility. Freddy's AI has also seen a number of small improvements. Lastly, as usual, there is another general balance patch, and a few new easter eggs and secrets to be found. Freddy's runes have also been modified slightly.
