alf2: current state - insights

The canceling might be a problem, as it's too little time to react.

well most players go into the defense frames before performing a move - but the teleport doesn't start from there
you have to wait for the defense to end and that is enough time for a teammate to either move towards you or move away
(because who stands around still next to his buddy during a fight? unless he wants a lift)
or otherwise enough time to realize woody wants to teleport away (and then hit a button if it connects to cancel)
so i think the time frame might be ok

If you turn it the other way around - to enable the teleport option for the teammate - then it might solve the reaction time problem:
Woody catches the teammate, teleports.
Teammate has, a timeframe of let's say 1 second to activate his teleport.
Then the teleport option depletes.

i dont quite understand this

Just thinking, why would you need a sprite for a diagonal energy ball? It's almost certain that the blast will hit the enemy, so there isn't really a need for additional sprites.

it can fail to hit
you can be too far away from the opponent when performing the super punch
you can be too slow with the blast
the opponent can flip
and you can also perform this without an opponent close to you (JA+A)
this is useful when someone jumps at you
gives you enough time to hit the air as a warning and then blast his face when hes right above you
