💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2018, check if your game version is compatible before installing—older mods can break with updates.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily; otherwise, just drop the files into your game's data folder.
- Test in a low-stakes fight first to get a feel for the new movement, as it changes melee positioning dynamics.
