Highlights New Autolink Angle

• Added SpecialAngle.AUTOLINK_STRONG, a new autolink angle option that offers improved autolink behavior in many cases. This angle uses a combination of your momentum and the opponents relative position. Currently, this has only been implemented on the character template - check out its up aerial for implementation details and recommended statting.

• Added optional knockbackCapDelay hitbox stat, which delays a knockbackCaps application by a given number of frames (meaning it wont have any effect if you dont have one set). The typical use case for this is on attacks that use autolink angles. An example can be found on the template characters up aerial. Note that the autolink angle and knockbackCap are turned off before the last hit of the attack so it can hit as normal.

• Fixed bug that could cause desyncs when announcer audio is rolled back too closely to another announcer audio clip.

• Fixed special fall after uncancelled airdash drastically affecting horizontal drift. - This bug being fixed results in a buff to horizontal drift out of uncancelled airdash across the base cast and custom content.
