Balance update 1.9.60.80

[p]We’ve removed random critical hits from kicks, buffed Yunlin and nerfed Itu! The new balance update is now available![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Lower attack:[/p]

[p]Changed the second hit’s trajectory: its distance is shorter now.[/p]

[p]“Time Manipulation” ability:[/p]

[p]Charge gained for blocked hits reduced;[/p]
[p]Charge gained for successful hits reduced;[/p]
[p]If Itu is attacked right when the “Time Manipulation” starts, the opponent’s animation speed will briefly be equal to Itu’s, after which it will slow down as usual.[/p]

[p]“Spacetime Slash” shadow ability:[/p]

[p]If this ability is interrupted by an attack, Itu will not gain shadow energy for a short while.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Dev note:[/p][p]These changes are intended to nerf “Time Manipulation”. Previously experienced players could activate the ability a couple of frames before receiving an attack, which would not cancel the Manipulation but still give Itu a massive advantage.
