so lets say your makeing a basic combo no effects or any thing

so here is the animation we will disect
Image

the backround is just white and i also made a big fat stick for the floor

so to start off what really is this combo.

kick, punch, throw, stomp, stomp, elbow.

now since it would take hours to look at this anim frame by frame lets just look at the main parts

the first five frames are just the character staying in the same place
Image

in frame six he leans bachwards a little
Image

in frames six threw nine the guy just runs forward

in frames ten threw thirteen he starts to land with his foot turned out and leans back.
Image

in frame fourteen he kicks out and i put a small trail on (he jumps into the air as he kicks)
Image

in frames fifteen threw twenty three he recoils and both of his feet touch the ground his arm also comes into position to punch. (the reactions are normal)
Image

in frame twenty three he punches the other guy in the stomach and leans onto the other foot
Image

in frames twenty four threw twenty seven he puts his foot down and his arm comes down (i put a trail on frame twenty four)
Image

in frames twenty eight threw thirty two he takes another step and his arms are at his sides
Image

in frames thirty three and thirty four he starts to take a step and his arms come up
Image

in frames thirty five and thirty six he grabs the other guy.
Image

in frames thirty seven threw fourty he swings the guy around
Image

in frames fourty one threw fourty six he trows the guy and he falls on the ground
Image

in frames fourty seven threw fifty five the victim bounces slightly and the other guy does an ariel
Image

in frame fifty six he stomps on him
Image

in frames fifty seven threw sixty he bounces off the guy
Image

in frame sixty one he stomps again
Image

in frames sixty one threw sixty eight he bounces off then lands and swings his arms up
Image

in frames sixty nine threw seventy two he jumps up and start to fall elbow first onto the victim
Image

in frames seventy one threw seventy five he land right on him
Image

the for the rest of the frames they just bounce a bit then stay in place
Image

I know i did not go over the reactions but just make sure that the victim does not just fall down after one hit and in this animation he takes two steps back on the kicks and one on the punch.
I did not applie physics to the ariel because it may look less realistic but it looks cooler.
There has to be a flow to all of the attacks so when he kicks for the first time his whole body moves forward same with the punch.
when he throws the victim his arms fly up like they should then he lifts one foot off the ground and his arms swing upward but the only reason this worked was beacause the momentum of the throw went into the ariel

all right thats it i hope you like :D (notice that i make the ground shake every time there is a hit) i will make an effects tutorial soon

I hate video tutorials. This way is much better :p.

It's a good explanation of what you did, but it might be nice to go into detail about why you did certain things, and maybe explain about how momentum needs to be carried from one attack to the next and how that can be achieved. From seeing this people are only really going to learn how to copy you.
