The changes we have made from Demo 2.1 to Demo 2.5 are what truly makes this release what it is. We realize how important the changes are to the community, and we've compiled a list of what was changed going from our previous release, Demo 2.1, to our latest release, Demo 2.5b. Keep in mind that just because a character seems to have plenty of changes listed, doesn't actually mean they were changed all that much overall. Read the changes carefully!
Please discuss these changes in the character specific boards and/or the demo 2.5b changes thread!
[collapse=2.1 to 2.5b Changelog][collapse=General Character, Gameplay Mechanics, & Additions]-All characters received AI updates ranging from how the CPUs recover to how they use certain moves
-All characters' pummels have had their speed adjusted to prevent infinites with new grab break mechanics
-All characters who had the lightest sounding pummel sound effects were altered to sound heavier
-All characters' hurtboxes that were ungrabbable in Melee are once again ungrabbable. Newcomers received similar treatment
-Several characters have had their hurtboxes modified to make more sense

-Random 0-2 frames of Controller Input Lag removed
-Analog shoulder buttons and right stick now work with Classic Controllers, and are able to work with light shoulder presses and buffer shield actions with right stick

-Knockback Stacking has been matched to Melee
-It is now possible to ledgetech the stage during hitlag using smash DI

-Grab mashing formula has been adjusted
-Grab holding time is slightly dependent on the weight of the opponent, with weight advantage allowing longer hold times before breaking out
-Zero Suit Samus' paralyze state is mashable to reduce stun time
-Shield break get up and stun status effect have been matched to Melee, and the ending animation is interruptible
-When grabbed, attacks that hit the grabee from other opponents will do half their normal damage and allow breaking out of the grab, while pummels from the grabber do full damage and prevent breaking out during the stun
-Holding up when breaking out of a grab will now always result in a jump grab break
-Going into disabled fall or a special that leads into it depletes remaining air jumps if any
