I need opinions on this animation

I am working on a samurai fighting game with a really advanced combat system.

Everything is done but i feel like the animations are choppy…

I need a bit of advice on how to make this smoother…

In my opinion, the animation idea is nice, but the way it moves around is a bit direct. Maybe use some Easing Style?

My tips to improve this animation
To improve I highly recommend slowing the speed down.
It kinda looks like ur slapping someone with a sword because of the speed.
So that is why I want you to lower the speed.

  • If you can animate with r15 it will look 100x better.

:heart:

Thanks,
continue ur career animating.

When the character returns to the normal pose, it looks like another hit with the sword. Maybe slow the speed a bit down when he returns the sword to the normal pose?

The animation editor only have 3 easing styles I believe, and they’re all ease-out styles, also easing doesn’t immediately make the animation better, you’d have to remove some keyframes to make it seem smooth

fairly cool. Keep up the great work!

the end position is kind of sus

Amazing! I’d say to add some more… “brute” movements (a pause and a tiny body shove after a slash) and make it maybe slightly slower (check to see how it looks by making the playback speed 0.75 on the video). But a 10/10 honestly.
