Gameplay Updates
Metal Refinery is now a starter stage and Merchant Port is now a counterpick.
Their stage/blastzone sizes are fairly comparable, but Merchant Port's tiny top platforms are more befitting a counterpick than Metal Refinery's moving platforms.
QoL: Forward Special Part 3 Downward can now also be performed by holding up.
Down Tilt hit 1 will now pull grounded opponents inward
This makes it much less likely for hit 2 to whiff after hit 1 connects at max range, especially if the opponent doesn't SSDI away.
