Alright so, I've been told that pivot is a good option since I don't have a good animation program - A lot, so I decided that it's about time that I start using it. Or at least try to. This will be my first time actually completing a pivot animation. I don't have much skill in pivot, so it may seem.. Not good.
CnC is accepted. I'd love some tips for the future. >.>

Here it is:

I'll probably do more tests sometime, maybe even a fight of some sort.
I have flash on a separate computer, but what I have done is not good. At all. I'll probably have that animation posted here sometime. I dunno.

Make the legs bend more when preparing to jump, then while in the air start straightening them.

A bit more build up on that jump and a bit more of a reaction on the landing would be nice.
it's not that bad considering that you're new to pivot.

-The spacing of the jump feels too even. The spacing between the heights should start out relatively large, decrease until he hits the peak of the jump, and from there, increase until he hits the ground.

-His back foot doesn't follow his body properly. As it stands right now it looks like his back leg actually slips as he jumps.

-His landing is way, way stiff. His momentum in both directions just vanishes. Follow through with the rest of the body to avoid this in the future.

That said, tests are good. You learn pretty quickly when you do a bunch of them. Keep at it!
