== Input Reader / Input Mechanics ==
*Whenever Alucard transitions from a ground state to an air state, there is a 7 frame period where he retains some properties of ground state. He can walk, but still has falling speed, and can jump, allowing you to get an extra horizontal boost if a jump is too far to make normally.
*Black screens buffer one States when the game is frozen and doesn't progress logically also halt the inputcountdown timer. *Blue doors buffer one input. *Level Up animation buffers one input ups, transition screens and halts buffer decay until the end of the animationmenu do that. Example: you You can do start a wing smash Wingsmash input half-way, hold inputs during freezeenter a screen transition or level up, then finish resume the input after the animationregaining control.
*Blue doors will allow you to buffer an action but not special moves.
