+Lifetime: 60f -> 90f
~Adjusted positioning of knives to be more consistent
~Each subsequent knife now comes out three frames after the previous one.
~Readjusted code to hopefully allow easier b reverses
~B-reversing nspecial reverses Sakuya's momentum

Fspecial:

+Startup: 13f -> 11f
+Lifetime: 60f -> 90f


Dspecial 2:

+Startup: 13f -> 11f
+Stun Time: 30f -> 45f

+Sakuya gains the ability to move her pocketwatch again by holding down the special input instead of a quick press

New Additions:

+Added a toggle to switch to the old version of pocket watch gimmick. This version will be incorporated into how dspecial currently works, which means that Sakuya will still be able to move and detonate this version of pocket watch.

+Added a toggle for old bair for the people that liked it. This version of bair is also incorporated into both versions of pocket watch gimmick.

Other Changes:

-Pocket watch now goes away on death
~Parry stun from knives only apply to those that have touched or come out from the pocket watch. If a knife with parry stun gets parried, all knives on screen get destroyed.

Version 2.0 (AKA: The I've been sitting on this for months patch):

-Reworked Dspecial gimmick. Placing down pocket watch now allows Sakuya to remotely throw knives from the the pocket watch.
-New secondary Dspecial: If dpsecial is inputted while pocket watch is out, Sakuya will detonate the watch which creates a hitbox that stuns opponents.
-Pocket watch can now be hit in which it becomes disabled for 3 seconds.
-Sakuya getting parried or dying disables stopwatch for 3 seconds.
-Aerial version of Nspecial now keeps momentum with a vertical boost at the start of the throw
-Nspecial now has landing lag
-Bair has been changed to be more straight-forward attack. (Sorry to people who liked old bair, I just find this new bair more fun to use.)
-Adjusted hitpause on some moves to make them feel better.

Dev Notes: My hope is that people will give the new gimmick rework a chance. I know it's something new to adjust to but I think it makes the character more fun to play. Also I can't remember the specifics of the changes since it's been months hope you guys can go easy on me for that. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this patch.
