Known (and Unknown) Issues
Many! Again, many features are missing; for example, if a character is in a juggle too long, they should eventually "spin out" in an attempt to avoid infinites or long, repetitive combos. Additionally, some combos such as sweep to special will probably not work, or there will be a unique state so that you can not juggle opponents after a sweep.
