(-) Reduced lifetime 4 > 2

(-) Reduced damage 10 > 8.5

 -  Added spike sour spot that appears after the initial hit that's weaker

"We found that not only was forward air just really good at killing over all, but that the sweetspot was increadibly easy to land and almost guaranteed a kill at almost any percent, so we've made adjustments to make it feel fairer overall"

Down Tilt:

(-) Reduced lifetime (6 > 4)

Back Air:

(-) Knockback scaling (1.2 > 0.8)

(-) Adjusted angle (20 > 40)

"This move was reworked due to bugs being caused before by the low recharge, but also because the missile itself left very little impact on a match and did not reward smart play as much as we were hoping it would, so it has been buffed to hit harder, but also not be as spammable. We hope players will take advantage of it's power while also working around it's long cooldown"

Command Input Forward Special (Down to Right Quarter Circle)

 -  Decreased animation speed

 -  Gave it a unique animation along with a unique trail effect and sound effects!

Up Air:

(-) Increased endlag (11 -> 15)

(-) Added cooldown (0 -> 17)

(+) It now gives you a short upwards boost on use

"Grim's recovery was always meant to be a little underwhelming, but we found it was simply too bad compared to every other recovery, including Luan's, with the biggest issue being the horizontal movement, so we gave Up Air some tweaks to one, make it more balanced and less spammable, and 2, usable to give Grim good horizontal movement!"

(-) Increased cooldown (80 -> 250)

(-) Can no longer jablock

"Grim's various stage control tools were simply way too spammable and way too powerful, with Grim's meta relying mostly on abusing scythe and Billy, so the scythe needed to be toned down drastically, and adjustments needed to be made to both Billy and Mandy to balance out their usefulness"
