[Character] Nino

[Memento]

Like this one more, though this specific position might be better for a punching sequence then general standing. None of the original LF characters stand in a fighting stance, anyway.
.

I made it like this intentionally, because this way he reaches further and he shows speed.

Reach further? Never once have I met anyone capable of reaching further then his limit while standing in one place... Just "pulling your leg".
Well as for speed, there are two effect that come to mind. One (already mentioned) is the smudge/blur effect which can be done in a variety of ways. Here's an example:

Mind you, I'm currently VERY tired so I only made 2 of them; the rest have to wait... (Click to View)

*It's an effect similar to Dennis' Shrafe.

.

The other one is the shadow/trace effect. Basically you make "shadows" with transparency filters to show where the foot use to be before movement. This way you create the illusion of a very fast action. I might provide you with an example if you didn't understand me, but that'll have to wait till I'm sober.

Any ideas for a projectile move?

And.. I'm planning to make a move where he changes into a lion and does an attack. What kind of attack shall I make?

You can make 'em both as far as I'm concerned. Although it might be a better idea to create a ranged attack instead of throwing a projectile (cause from what I read he doesn't seem like a energy-ball-throwing type). Perhaps something like the Monk's "ShaoLin Palm"? You could also make some sort of sliding move; something like Subzero from "MortalCombat 2" has?

Thanks for posting the topics & exemples ^_^

Since so many people dislike the looks of that move, I will overlook it

About the special move ideas: I was planning to do both already.. I should have put it a diffirent way. I meant I needed ideas for both moves; the lion jump & the ball move.. But, especially with his new looks, I'd better think of something better than a lion
