Greetings one and all.

I was wondering if cleaning animations and removing references to the following bones would cause any sort of problems to the animations. (These are "Marth" animations I am working with.)

TopN,
EyeYellowM,
FacePattern,
BlinkHalfM,
BlinkM,
FaceM,
OuchM,
TalkM,

Given how the TopN(or whatever bone is at the top of the list) is ignored in-game I figure removing reference to it wouldn't affect anything.(It fills with keyframes after I save, like almost all of my animations lately...)

The ones for the eyes and face don't strike me as necessary, given how Marth's eyes/faces are moved/summoned by editing the Fitmotion to display a certain face for a frame, or a set movement for the eyes.

I do not edit any of these bones myself, but given the issue I have with keyframes suddenly materializing in alot of my recent animation work it'd be appreciated to know if I can wipe their values without compromising things.

Any input is appreciated :3c
