I wish I was witty and talented enough to have some sort of April Fool's joke here, but I don't and I'm not. The last few days I basically scrapped my battle system and started it over. I didn't start from scratch as I reused a good chunk of the existing scripts, but I streamlined the logic a bit and removed some extra/redundant flows. As best as I can tell, everything seems to be working as expected now. I think I need to copy and paste a few minor things in to another flow as I only worked on the flow where the enemy is faster, but that shouldn't take long to do.
I also had a lot of difficulty doing any modifications lately. Whenever I clicked on a scene, my GB Studio ram usage spiked to over 3GB and it locked the program up (plenty of ram left, so it was definitely a gb studio issue). Special shoutout to /u/LGuilleCrespo and /u/pacdude for suggesting to turn off the ability to view connections between scenes. That instantly fixed things for me!
