RB's Notes 1: For an in depth overview of the balance changes, refer to https://www.sirlin.net/articles/balancing-puzzle-fighter
If you want the TL;DR, read on.
Characters with weak, exploitable drop patterns (Hsien-ko, Morrigan, Ryu, Sakura) were brought up to a level of viability close to the defacto strong characters in the game, Donovan and Ken, by altering their gem drop patterns, while Chun-Li was left unchanged (has the worst pattern in the game) but made more powerful. The boss characters, Akuma and Devilotte, were also adjusted so they'd be fair to use.
Dan is... still Dan (drops only reds).
RB's Notes 2: The hack will appear as a clone of the main romset, so make sure your device/emulator has up to date databases.
