yoyo throwing animation

[Iceman404]

He should probably swing the yo yo sideways and not upward. And when he thrusts his arm forward it should be a bit quicker, since he takes all that time to charge it.

Somethings I personally think you should do is: when the yo yo reaches its peak and spins for a while, his whole body could vibrate (left and right) for a brief moment before he pulls it back. And when he does pull it back, it'd be nice if he slid' back a little himself. I think those would probably make the animation more lively. Some games like Kirby use these techniques, and it turns out great.
