---KBG decreased from 83 to 35.

Other
-Powershield size multiplier increased from 0.73x to 0.75x
In short:
Up throw - small nerf
Down throw - not sure on the effects of this change atm
Raptor Boost - small but logical nerf
Falcon Kick - damage buff, but from my small testing last night - it no longer pops people up for free knees or up airs. Will have to test more to see full effects of the changes. Seems like a nerf on first look.
Powershielding is slightly easier

3.5->3.6/Melee u-throw has 2 more endlag, release point is lower to the ground and more outward so DI away can make knee not guaranteed on the characters that fall fast enough for that.
