Title: Another biggun'

Our last big commit before the deadline. It's a hefty one with a focus on making block a bit less dominant over competitive play by emphasizing defense over block->counters, making a few unsafe on hit moves safe, giving Pure an initiation tool, fixing some visually jarring moves, and making Phal more interesting at higher and lower level play.

Our next few pull requests should likely just be small adjustments to what's being added today.
