All Fighters

Basic Movements Previously, if you were in the air and held the shield button and input left, right, or down, and then continued to hold the shield button until you landed, you would dodge in the direction input upon landing. Now, you will only dodge after landing if you input the direction after landing.
Basic Movements Adjusted the time until you can move again after grab parrying to be consistent.

Yoshi
