[C] Walker - 2.08

[YinYin]

The black streak starts where his hand is the frame before and it is located on his Punch button not Kick button, which is enough for me to be convinced that he does it with his hand.

That makes sense for the player then. I just don't know the game.

By the way, I forgot to put it in the post up there, but there is a download link for 2.05 in the thread opening post.

Oh.

The 3 run attack punches are very risky with the auto linking, better have the player connect them manually by pressing attack.

The aerial punching seems to be starting with a hurt frame that doesn't fit very well into the animation. And while the new jump attack follows very well onto the D^A (I like how you can turn and punch him back) putting two extra punches in between doesn't push the opponent far enough.

The D^A itself looks better now, but he pulls his arm back to his body way too soon to stay stiff in the last frame until he lands. Maybe increase the wait on some of the frames so the animation is better distributed over the whole jump.

The dash attacks rest is too low and the knock down property seems weird. If you dash attack Louis it will first hit his armor and then knock him straight to the ground. Better give it a forward momentum, the same direction as the dash itself.

Phantom Dash controls great now. At such high speed you should try to adjust the catching itr as precisely as possible as you sometimes catch your opponent from behind, which makes you turn.
Also the throw and the distance could use some adjustment. If you perform two in a row you will currently get hit by the thrown opponent. Either avoid that my moving the distances or timing apart, or actually allow a recatch.
Being a catch this might also be better on D>J to accompany the counter grab on DvJ instead of being mixed with the kicks and punches.

The two special kicks connect pretty nicely to the D^A. Even more awesome would be a D^A+D^A+D>A combo.
Also I could totally see the DvA having both an aerial and a ground (sliding) version.

Here is an edit of the D^A:

Most important is ditching the frame with the rising fist where his feet are still both glued to the ground. Such a frame always implies that he never really left off, as you usually jump with one leg and rise the other one first (standing with both stretched means all upward energy from the legs is lost). In my edit I choose the front leg to be the kicking one and the back leg as rising first, since that's where he can get the most push for the punch. After that I only changed his head movement a little and added a relaxation frame. Only the 3 frames in the center are edited, first and last are the original start and the back dash.
