Platform Technique

Can't you change the state 1 to state 3 and thus letting you change directions, [etc]

You can, but I doubt that it's a good idea changing the standing frames' state to state: 3. Because if you would, the character can't walk, jump and all that stuff...
Except you create a new standing loop with all the inputs. But this is a little bit more work than just changing state: 0 to state: 1


@Hypermodder: Well yea, you can try that out :P
