I noticed on the last frame of his punch 2, Crappy kind of hops up a bit, which looks kind of odd in the animation.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

i agree that it looks off, but i'm not sure how i can fix it without adding another frame to the animation. i want him to hop back to his idle because it makes him look speedy and quick on his feet.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

i fixed up the issue with my second punch:



it's not much of an update, but i'm going to be out of town for more than a week, and i felt like getting at least something done before i left. the first post has been updated accordingly, and i've also updated the planned move list.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

duck kick - super jump
-crappy squats and faces the camera while charging up for half a second before launching straight up into the air, knocking the opponent upwards for potential air combos

inspired by super mit 2/super mario bros. 2:


i've also updated the move list again. it's got a new kick, as well as a kick 2, which was the old < kick. the old kick is now the new < kick. really simple stuff. there's also a gognio because i wanted to be the first to have a healing gognio. (unless someone else already did that then oh well)

[reposted with better animation]

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

kick 1 - island courage
-crappy pitches a yo-yo in front of him

(the thrown yo-yo is a separate effect from the base animation, so the animation is only three frames--check the sheet in the first post)

inspired by startropics:

Top Tier. Banned from tourney play.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

walk f
-crappy casually strides ahead

inspired by a walking animation i did in late 2013:



and, for extra comparison, crappy's walk from my previous attempt at joining tFR:



lastly, i updated the island courage move in the first post. initially, i used an afterimage style for the yo-yo that was borrowed from kirby super star, but i changed it to look like the yo-yo's afterimages in kirby super star ultra. i think it looks a lot neater!

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

duck
-crappy sort of kneels with his hands open

hey, this one isn't a reference to anything!

oh, wait...

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I like it! I think it isn't very low for a duck, so here's a suggestion:

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

how's this looking? i actually made it even shorter than your example

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

That's far better! The buttons look a bit off-centre but the overall impression is very much Spider-Man.

PS: hoping for some jump punch2 and jump kick2 action instead of normal punch2 and kick2, and looking forward to that air special (plan another one pls!!)!!!

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

PS: hoping for some jump punch2 and jump kick2 action instead of normal punch2 and kick2

??? please explain

i've already got punch 2 up, it's the pie-shoving one

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Instead of having a ground-based punch1&2 and a jump punch, you could switch it and have a ground-based punch, but jump punch1&2. I thought it'd be neat if CBL were more of an aerial attacker, but it's up to you.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

hm, i can think about it! i'm not going to drop the second ground punch; that specific combo is like a staple of crappy's character.



but having more air moves could mean more references to stuff...

i'll get back to you on this.
