18 Feb 2017

Updated Tutorial.
Updated Template map.
New items: Helmet 2, Fedora 2, Dog Tag.
You can now start the server software from the launcher.
Toggle-throwing-mode is now prioritized over attacking, so pressing toggle-throwing-mode mid-combo will abort the combo.
Toggle throwing mode is now queued properly while throwing a grabbed player.
Toggling throwing mode during sprint-jumps no longer slows you down.
Charging a throw (priming a mine/grenade/molotov) during sprint-jumps no longer slows you down.
Optional "-start" command line argument added that will auto start the game/server. Now possible to autostart the server with command "'Superfighters Deluxe.exe' -start -server" which can be added to autorun programs if you want.
Updated the main font so that "I" and "l" are no longer identical (to prevent account name impersonation).
