Punching System

The Mario Combat sequel we've all been waiting for.

Accepted on the grounds that the patch fulfills its rudimentary purpose. With that said, this patch hasn't aged particularly gracefully.

One is able to punch while cape-spinning, throwing a fireball or spin jumping; punching is allowed during the goal walk, as well. Setting the punch speed to a nonzero value feels clunky while in motion, especially in the air, though I do appreciate the option to have punching not affect player momentum. Punching briefly simulates sliding, but due to how sliding works, punching while on a slope will cause the player to assume pose #$01 (due to the setting of $13ED) and keep sliding despite not touching Down on the D-pad. A similar effect is achieved by punching the side of the screen in an autoscroll level.

Tested with Asar 1.71, Lunar Magic 3.04, SA-1 1.32, Snes9x 1.59.2.

Remoderation notes: made asar and SA-1 compliant, optimized the code a bit, fixed a bug regarding the check for Mario's direction and added a couple more customization option. Also added the screenshot.
Note that the GFX file provided only includes a punching GFX for big Mario.
Tested with: asar 1.71, SA-1 1.32.

For those wanting to use this patch: There's a mistake on line 53, LDA $74 should be LDA $76 or else Mario will always moves to the right when punching instead of in the direction he is facing (because by default punching change Mario's speed to 01, making mario move very slowly while punching).
