Animation Speeds Section
Here You can setup the animation speeds of your character's animations.

Idle, Walking and Running Boxes

Here you can input the speed your animations have in the scale of 0% to 100%.
The game runs at locked 60FPS, so, for example, 20% speed would be the 20% of 60FPS (12FPS)
You can also preview the current speed of each animation on the animation and character preview sections.

Idle Loop Frame

Here you can input the animation frame your idle animation will loop back to after it ends.
The value can go from 0 (first frame) to 7 (last frame);
0 = idle animation loops from first frame.
7 = idle animation doesn't loop.
any in-between = animation will loop from said frame.

Default speeds button

Sets the speed boxes to the game's default values (20%, 20% and 35%)

Reload speeds button

Moveset sections
Here You can setup your character's movements.

Character Moveset select box

Lets you select between all the default characters' movesets;

Tomo: Has all the basic movements (Homing attack, rolling)

Kagura: Same as Tomo but with a speed buff.
(You have to activate her instant homing attack manually)

Osaka: Slower character but has an higher jump and floatier physics.
You also get a shield every time you touch a checkpoint.

Chiyo: Slower character but has an higher jump and floatier physics.
Holding the jump button in the air will make her fly.

Sakaki: Similar to Kagura, she has a speed buff.
Pressing the homing attack button while no enemy is targeted will perform an air dash.

Yomi: She has a heavier jump and also has a bounce move she can use to keep momentum.

Options

• Instant Homing Attack

Makes you instantly teleport to the current target when you press the homing attack button

• Jump Animation

Has 2 options for the jumping animation:
Run/Jump: the running animation will play over the jump animation if you jump while running (default)
Jump Only: Will always play the jump animation if you jump.

• Footsteps

Toggle for the footsteps sounds when running.

• Char Override

Lets you choose the character your mod will replace for in-game events.
Options: None, Tomo, Osaka, Chiyo, Yukari, Nyamo, Sakaki, Yomi, Kagura, Kaori and Chihiro.

For Example, if you set the value to "Sakaki" it will make Sakaki not appear in the hubworld, and play the story as if you were playing as vanilla Sakaki, that way you avoid having duplicates.
