Dexterity

The Dex changes in 1.15 helped a lot to speed up the general flow of the game without making signatures unpunishable, but we're finding that moves in the air similarly need those longer punish windows to give opportunities for counterattacking certain kinds of defensive zoning play. (Blasters Side Air comes to mind) We've separated the Dex multipliers again so that there's now a third one for aerial attacks - slower than grounded light attacks, faster than signatures.

• Recovery time multiplier from Dexterity for air moves returned closer to original values.

Dodge

These changes should help make dodge a better approach tool and build in some new weaknesses when used for extremely defensive play.

• Added a small delay (8 frames) after attacking where dodge is disabled.

• You can now attack right after dodge ends (instead of 2 frames later), but dodge loses its invulnerability for the last 2 frames (18 invuln frames instead of 20).
