I know I suck at sword movements.All that I animate is: sword up-sword down-sword up-sword down-etc etc.

You are amazing. With only the up-down movements, you made it good. The trick to swords is to use 3D animation. Watch animated sword videos in slow motion and you will see what I mean.

make some stabs,
stabs look always good and arn't to hard to do,
just let your stick put his both hands on the handle to build up power and then the sword shoots forward, leaving a big hole in his enemy
like this:

Those particles were sex for my eyes. I'm gonna try to rip them off sometime.
The movement was solid and cool, if I have any problem (which is really minor btw) is that some of the poses didn't look cool, like after the swings and bends like that, just doesn't look cool to me.

Yeah, the trails were awesome! I never thought of that style before. I just use a crescent with a shiny radial gradient. :)

It's not bad, it has a good amount of force. The feet wobble a tad during the beginning, and there is SOME foot sliding after the 2nd slash. It wasn't noticeably bad, I'm just telling you.
I like.
