apparently there’s been Discourse on smash twitter over whether the game looks good or not, with some people saying people are just “spoiled” by smash. but uh my take is it is not being spoiled to call bad character animation bad lol
the game design really doesn’t help here because it plays really fast and has no hitstun and moves seem to have little startup or endlag, leaving little room for anticipation or follow through; that’s not the animators’ fault and yeah it’s hard to work with
i wonder how project sora got smash ultimate sheik to work given that she has all those qualities i described
anyway idk i haven’t developed any takes about like, art design or like, How Good The Graphics Are or whatever because the animation stands out so much to me
i think spongebob’s model is quite good though
