Bomb Setups & Ball Rolls(Mileena/Cyrax)
I really hate the back punch, front punch notation and feel its counter productive. I haven't seen anyone rewrite the patch notes in universal language (1-4, U, D, B, F notation) yet so I'm doing it. If this has been done I'll delete my thread or we can merge to another. Anyways I'm putting in the time to rewrite it so its easier on everyone to look it up and get a better understanding of character changes.
