alf2: current state - insights

[YinYin]

no new background, sorry
this is an audiovisual effect
i have to admit the audio is more impressive than the visual
but i'm not gonna upload that (maybe in a video later)
just imagine a nice clang/zing kind of sound (a mix of rudolfs swords and louis' armor)
so there is a chance of this happening whenever some metal hits the metal of a character (louis/deep/knight mostly)

Anyways, I don't quite get the reason behind Woody canceling his attack. And why is he facing the opposite direction?

he's facing that direction because first of all that's the direction he's facing after the second kick (after the third he's turned forward again and ends it normally)
and also because you or the AI pressed that direction to cancel this move early and thus you obviously want to go that direction

the reason is simple
you missed your opponent
or you want to dodge an attack you would otherwise be running into
either way you were an easy target before because you were not able to control or stop this move and the opponent could predict where you are going
a small surprise that can turn tables

your thoughts on what it may be make me smile
next up: a louis combo or henry double arrow dash
you decide which one you want to see
