[Bug Fixes]

-Fixed a bug that caused transparency to act strange.

-Fixed a bug where the left stick wouldn't be recognized during the character select screen for some controllers.

-fixed a bug where doing an attack that hits otg after an invalid/blue beat combo turns it back to yellow beat/valid combo.
