Balance Changes (+ means buff, - means nerf, o means neutral)
Continuum Shift II (Credit to Henaki from Dustloop):
+ j.C and j.d+C's damage increased.
+ If you are hit while in Gravity's startup frames, the gauge does not disappear.
+ "Corner throw > s.C > fwd+C > Spike Chaser > s.C > fwd+C > qcb+C > fwd+A > fwd+C > cr.DD > Aerial combo" is possible, deals around 3000 damage.
+ "qcf+C > s.C > Gravity > cr.DD > Crescent > fwd+A > fwd+C > qcf+C > Aerial combo" is possible.
+ Gravity is now a Fatal Counter.
+ "FC Gravity > s.C > fwd+C > qcf+C" is possible.
+ s.C[1](CH) > qcf+C alot easier to do now
+ fwd+B faster
+ s.DD/bck+DD > qcfx2+D easier to do
+ Whiffed gravity doesn't use up whole gauge (2/3?)
+ j.DD > j.d+DD works on every character
+ Faster air backdash
- qcb+D recovery slightly longer?
- Minimum TK Crescent Height is higher
- "qcf+C > s.C > Gravity > cr.DD > Crescent > s.D..." cannot be done anymore.
- Crescent Loop can be done for 3~4 reps max.
o From s.A anti air, you can deal about 2400 damage.
o fwd+C does not wallbound.
o s.C > fwd+C loop looks possible, but it may not be.
o qcf+A cross up range needs testing (cr.B > qcf+A seems to be optimal range for cross up, df+C > qcf+A seems to stop at the opponent so whiff bck+B might still be viable)
o Max range df+C > qcf+D makes a good...meaty?
o qcf+B > RC > s.DD>qcf+C's float is alot lower now, investigating potential combos
o RC Airgrab on Arakune no longer puts you on opposite side(same is assumed for Bang)

Continuum Shift Extend (Credit to Nini Heart from Dustloop):
+cr.DD>bck+B combos
-df+C proration worsened
-overall damage decreased
