- Fixed inconsistency with major back lunge, depending on which stick was used to perform it.
- Allowed blocking during minor back lunges.
- Fixed a bad grappling exchange from mount.
- Improved side slips by applying loss of opponent’s tracking when walking and slipping to the same side, to the outside of strikes (except jabs).
- Side slips when walking to the same side will now behave similar to major side lunges, in that they will now make the opponent completely lose track of you and force them to pivot before they can strike you again. However, as the motion required to perform a walking side slip is smaller, we’ve made the conditions for the loss of tracking more strict.
