really short thing, just wanted to get the physics of flipping down, since I'd never really dabbled in that in fear of being called a guz syrius ripoff
I seriously couldn't get it at first tbh, the bro pivotblimp had to basically teach me how it was done
cnc and stuff is appreciated as always

too fast huh? Thanks guys
I'm not sure how someone would flip slowly realistically, but I'll keep it in mind. The problem is probably that my framing is off

It looks a bit choppy, and a little stop and go, too. It's still pretty good, though.

I feel like the the momentum is uneven at a few different places. Though it is a bit hard to find specific places due to the speed of the animation, I think that one example is that when he is about half way through the first attack, he suddenly gains momentum. He also seems to lose a bit too much horizontal speed when he is crouching after the first attack, then snaps into the second too quickly. The animation is still pretty good, though; I might just be seeing things.

I really like this. The movements are really good, and the transition between the two flips works well. Quiet honestly, I don't really understand the second flip, I don't really get it, it looks like a spinning side kick or something. It could be a little slower in general, in reality, people don't flip slow, but they do flip a little slower than in your animation.
After the second flip, when he hops backwards, I think the pause is too big, he stops for a bit too long, but overall, a very good animation.

I wasn't saying you're wrong, I'm not good at spotting things in my own animations so I wanted you to be a bit more specific, it's really helpful
Edit: spectre thanks dude. I did think that the pause was a bit too long before the hop but I honestly couldn't be assed to fix it cus that wasn't what I was practicing
and yes it's kinda like a spinning side kick

lol no problem. If only I could criticize my own animations without so much bias.

i dont think that second flip is even possible o-o
and as others said, its too fast i needed to play it slowly to understand how exactly it worked
if you like fast stuff then maybe add more frames and make the fps higher
