This, of course, assumes that we will one day be able, through access to the source code, to tweak things a little. What I'm aiming for is an SF2 Turbo kind of rebalance, where you don't have to draw any new animation frames, but it can be a totally different game.

Jag: Add knockdown on b+K, extend hitting frames of db+P later.
Shadow: Remove warmup from Shadow Kick/Punch, speed up warmup of Shadow Dive, increase cooldown on Shadow Kick, change type of specials from projectile to physical, change command of Ice Freeze to qcf+P.
Thorn: ??? I'm open to suggestions.
Pyros: Increase speed of Fire Spin's entire animation, increase speed of all flame attacks.
Electra: Decrease speed of db+P, extend hitbox of b+P.
Katana: Lengthen cancelable window of Razor Spin into jump attacks, remove invincibility from last hit of Rising Blades.
Shredder: Change type of Flying Hands from projectile to physical.
Flail: Increase speed of kick attacks (except specials), increase range of sweep, make Charging Punches scoot slightly backwards when blocked.
Garg: Remove invincibility from Rising Talon, add pushback when hit and decrease damage of Wing Charges, decrease movement speed of Diving Claw.
Chronos: Reduce damage of b+K, decrease speed of slide kick.
Nova: Increase hit stun of db+P, add knockdown to b+K, decrease startup of Grenade and air missile.

i think all the bots and their moves function perfectly, its the AI's stupidity toward these moves is what needs fixin

You dont "balance" classics no matter how bad they need it, or noone likes them anymore, everyone knows that. you dont see any balance patches for warcraft II do you??

Robyrt:
Shadow: Ice is designed to encompas shadowpunch because if you could repeat it Shadow would have ANOTHER infinite lol.
Thorn: Remove invulnerablilty of Speed kick (or at least extended ver) Decrease cooldown of Wall Kick

Otherwise I agree with your suggestions ^_^

How can warcraft II need balancing? the units on both sides are identical except in looks and the spells are only different enough to change the flavour of each side. Like adding a sugar to your tea.
Starcraft is a classic and they balanced that for years, some building costs were changed by up to 33.3 %

Building on what Robyrt mentioned earlier in hes post that this requires this mystical fable beeing known as "source code" from the mysterious entity often refered to as Rob Elam. you could make a new version with both the original unmodified version, and an "enhanced" version where we could have tried to balance things a bit more.

All granted, i dont have many opinions regarding balancing. I never really had enough experience with fighters in general to know how to balance one.

Shadow Jaguar Leap ?

B-DB-D-DF-F+P

or more popularly known as half circle from back, to down and to forward, punch.

With the enhancement for jaguar in tournament mode, this can be canceled into a air-kick. If standing close when executing this move, you can get 3 hit combo with this and the hit alone.

The extended Jaguar leap, Half roll from back to forward The trick with the half roll moves is to avoid pressing back+down+forward at the same time as that breaks the roll.

I can do it with about 80% ccurac on keyboard, about 10% on gamepad.

Good point - they DID release a rebalance of ST, it's called the Anniversary Edition, and it's just not as cool, because they didn't go all the way with it. They let you keep stored charge moves, but not Vega's flipkick - they let you keep CE Bison's stunlocks, but not O.Sagat's fireballs - etc.

You could call this "OMF 2100" if you wanted. :p
