* Character Move Behavior Fixes
– In V2.06, adjustments have been made primarily to hitboxes and collision detection to address unintended behaviors.
– Improvements have been made to sound effects, voiceovers, and visual effects to enhance overall quality.
– Some moves that had their command inputs changed in Version 2.00 can now also be executed using their old command inputs. This change applies only to King and Lee, as no moves were assigned to those old inputs for them.
