[Mod] Asches LF2 Mod v1.13 (Last update: 12/09/2016)

[AscheLeee]

Well... I added the pull back effect because I thought it would make it easier to grab, and it worked... when I tested from maximum range. I lowered that pullback a little so it shouldn't be too bad unless you're in a position where you're overlapping your enemy I guess?

I was trying to make the stage easier since it's just the first stage and there's going to be four more, but I guess I might have overdone it. So I reduced the hostage and jack HP/lives and by the time I got to 1-5 (normal), about half of them died, and the wind spam phase wiped out all that was left, so I guess it should be reasonable enough now...?

I also doubled the HP of the minions.

I kinda intended for those attacks to be uncancellable because I thought it was already hard enough to get close enough or land an attack, especially at the last two phases...

Thanks for the advice about the milk, I never knew about the ~400px of stated coordinate thing. I've changed all the milk to be at the end of the stage.

I also attempted to make a character that rewards players for comboing. (I suck at combos though) And also made some other changes...

New character: Luce!
A battlemage who wields the power of light, and excels in fast attacks and combos.

I understand this update may come across as rather hasty and rushed, but I was researching on stuff like flammable liquids and molotov cocktails, but then I realised that my web searches might be rather incriminating, so I decided to release this ASAP. That way, just in case the police start knocking on my door and questioning me, I at least have some proof that I did it for this game.
