[2.2.15] You barely have any control in the air during iframes or can't use abilities when you exit out of Helpless Currents if in the Pain State. It restores once the iframe timer ends.

In Helpless Currents, aka Wind/Water Currents that put you in your pain state, if you take damage and enter them or take damage while in them, either way works and have a iframe timer... No-Spin Characters will have barely if any air control when they exit out of these currents though Spin Characters will be unaffected by this and can be controlled correctly when they exit out of these currents.

This also applies if any character hits a spring in these as when they leave the current... if they're still in their iframes they will have barely if any sort of air control. The moment that the iframe timer ends, the characters will be able to move around in the air correctly.

No-Spin Characters CAN perform their Jump & Spin Abilities when jumping out of these, though if they are within the iframe timer... they can't perform their Jump & Spin Abilities until AFTER the iframe timer ends after exiting currents. Spin Characters can perform them regardless of the iframe timer, though neither of them can perform their abilities if they hit a spring as normally you can't use abilities upon being sprung.

In the video, note the inputs I am performing during the iframe timer. They won't apply if the character is in their pain state after exiting out of the current but then suddenly gain control once that timer ends.
