I’ve been working on a fighting game and one thing I made is this giant fire ball attack and I’d like some feedback on the explosion effects upon impact.

I’m mostly a scripter type of guy so I’m not very good at this kind of stuff.
Looks very nice! At first glance I can easily tell that it’s supposed to be an explosion, but if you’d like to add some extra flavor to it, you could layer the explosion sphere (whether it’s the color, or the transparency), and even add some shape if that’s what you’re going after, but you can totally keep it as it is if you want the cartoony vibe.
Also, try to browse for references! Doing a quick search I found these pictures that might help you get inspired and analyze which things you could add to your explosion (for example the flash/ray effects, the light/fire particles, the small rocks that fly away, etc.).
