Responsive Overhaul
--_____________________________________________--
-Now a 4 hit light combo

--New Moves:
-Sprint attack dashes, piercing through aimed target, light stagger.
-Holstered Attack(hold m1) has a wind up animation (let go when you see this) causes knockdown.

(Sprint / BlockAtk functions over 50% stamina, and requires you to be on ground)
--
-Satori: Sprint attack now procs its ability (..enjoy)
--
-Katana finishers duration animates faster (Credit to 2000Arsen for his help)

JumpAtk > HolsteredAtk
Throw knife > SprintAtk Katana
------------------- Monowire Rework: ---------------------
--_______________________________________________--
Vanilla is out of place and frankly a katana on a whip. I despise its unwarranted effectiveness, as do you!
I instead gave it utility that does not overshadow other melee,
..but rather compliments and combos with many playstyles:
Now functions as a low dps Stunning Whip. Punish them for their bad behavior choom!
-- Consumes no stamina (aside from heavy atk) allows aggression upkeep for stamina management.
-Light attacks stagger lightly
-HeavyAtk / BlockAtk / CrouchAtk have varying harsh staggers.
--_______________________________________________--
-Air movements carry more camera orientated trajectory
-Air dash is a controlled glide
-Dodge/Dash adjustments, distance nerf
-Air max speeds, slight nerf to give consistency to wild fluctuations
-Pressing dodge without movement dodges backwards
For intended experience you must have the mod Source Style Airstrafing Movement
--------------------- Perk changes: ----------------------
--____________________________________________--
Reflex Rework:
Going the distance > Many Must Fall:
Perform finishers from range. After a staggered finisher (non anim locked) Your next leap attack briefly deals finisher damage.
Cool Rework:
Pounce > Roving Assassin:
Gain +800% finish range upon landing thrown hits/Strong Melee.
