Animation ideas

This is a place for the discussion and implementation of animation and melee profile changes. Too much of this stuff happens in Yahoo and is forgotten about. :)

Characters

Comguys

Radio Saber

Give Comguys this move (the gif makes it seem like it has a short reach, but it doesn't) as a heavy kick, using the "Radio Saber!" attack sound. Gumby 13:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Konoko

I think we should attach a slight motion blur to Konoko's dashing anims. I remember back when I started playing, there wasn't an obvious cue that I was actually dashing. (Look at TCTF's rifle heavy kick to see the type of blur i mean). Gumby 18:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Motoko

Her *male* Animations

Someday, someone is going to have to make a whole new group of Motoko animations with female pelvis heights, so she doesn't have odd floating\sinking animations. Gumby 13:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ninjas

Shadow Dashing

Any thoughts on my sneaky ninjas? Gumby 13:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Snipers

Startled Animation

Any way we could stop them (and possibly maybe anyone else) from firing while started? They are trained mercenaries, this shouldn't happen...Gumby 13:15, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Tankers

Fw+Kick Throw combo

The Fw+kick throw comboing into fw+kick and fw+punch in the beta_combat you sent me was pretty awesome. Keep it. :) Gumby 13:12, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Thugs

I'm going to come out and say it right now: Thugs suck. Badly. Its not an animation thing, its a melee profile thing. They just have poor AI, probably done on purpose. Not fighting well is one thing...but when you can lie on the ground in front of them and watch them run and run and run into you without using a ground attack, something is wrong, IMO.

Mechanics

Knockdowns

Loser, would it be possible to link a roll animation to the falling backwards animations? (For rolling recoveries). Gumby 18:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
