Quick question: About how many frames do you animate ahead? I know animating each and every frame is the wrong way to do things, so I'm curious.

Depends on the animation.  There are many factors to take into account and never is there a specific number of frames you should skip for you key frames.  You can't really think of it that mechanically, especially if you're integrating follow-through and secondary motion into your animations (which of course is something you understand more with practise).  Different parts of the body should keyframe at different times to get a really good result.

Love the video. Sucks about the FS, I'd be content with Snake/Luigi's FS still being there, if that's an option.

Hmm okay so it really depends on what's moving and how long the animation is
Still, either way, great job with the deadpool challenge I gave you god....that was a loooong time ago too XD (it wasn't really a deadpool challenge, just a challenge to make someone do that dance lol)

Nother question, how the heck do I rotate link's sword right? Whenever I try to animate it the sword always spins around all weird when I play the animation :/

cant wait for deadpool

[Kagemaru]

I've come to have a sort of... formula for my animations.

When making an attack, depending on how much start-up the attack has, I'll go between 5 and 10 frames from frame 1 to the start of the attack. Like... If its a strong kick, I'll go maybe 8 frames from frame one to get the initial start up of the frame for the kick. Then, depending on the amount of force I wanna convey, I'll go 3-8 frames ahead for a 'charge'. Then for the actual kick, it'll be between 3 and 5 frames pending the type of attack. After that, its the same thing in reverse order. 3-8 frames of 'charge' but in this case its the cool down for the end of the attack. Then almost always I use 10-12 frames to go back to the wait1 or fall frame which is the last frame. After that... or during... I go in and edit/fix any key frames that need to move at other times.

Whats the issue with Deadpools FS?

[AnImAiNe]

hey sdoom  do you know how i could code a down b that function's like spiderman's where the character flips out of the way with the time manipulatin for the initial dodge but then counter attacks right after. the flip and the attack are in the same animation.

[Kagemaru]

Its the same as any counter. Just a fancy animation to go along with it.

Can you define 'start up' and 'cool down' please? I kinda understand the 'charge' and the thing about force but those two terms I can't really figure out. At least not as far as animations are.

I want to get into animations, but I have a feeling people might not like the psa's I make using them. ._. unless a lot of people like Baki... *shrugs*

Start up is referring to the Wait animation. That's the animation the character uses before going into the attack's, see?

Cool-Down is Kagemaru refering to the amount of time the character gasps or sighs after the attack due to tiredness.

This is common knowledge for PSA'ers, and you've been at it for more than a year and a half...

Thank you for sharing something related to the discussion at hand.

[joke king]

call it start/end lag xD

[Royal_Blade]

Start-up is reffering to the number of frames at the beginning of the animation before the attack hits.

Like the start up on Snake's Side Smash is long while the start up on Marth's down tilt is short.

cooldown is similar to start-up, because it's basically the number of frames after the attack until they are able to perform another action/motion.

So, the cooldown on Lucas' Up Smash is long, while the cooldown on Sheik's Forward Tilt is low.


Do you understand?

^ This.

This response really didn't need the veiled sarcasm added on, especially not since I haven't even touched brawl hacking period for quite a while. (Around a year and a half, and I've forgotten a lot in that time, may as well start from scratch.)

I actually paid more attention to Royal Blades answer, cause 1: it's straightforward and 2: doesn't treat me like a child or have any sarcastic crap tacked on because of my reputation here.

Also, about the baki comment, it's related(However slightly) to my question cause the character I'm wanting to get into animating for is the character in question, thanks for not paying attention.

[Segtendo]

He said that because it does not relate to any of SDo0m's work in any way. He helped you with your question at least. Be thankful

Look Look let the problem sort its self. And i read his comment it did seem a little scarstic but he didn't have to respond to it either. But you coming in and doing that not really going to fix anything it just makes him angrier. So just leave it alone he took something the wrong way. No point in coming in with faces like this  .
