C&C for Sprites: Practice, possible game. Need help

One thing you could add is some cjhanges to the last frame. Try making him 'finish' his blow. it's called "moving hold"

I know it's 3D animation, but it's the same motion principles, so just focus on motion, and ignore all the tech-stuff.

Thank you Frario. That was very helpful. I'm going to have to go over the rest of my images too. Though my moving holds can't be very long, otherwise it will make the melee combat clunky and stunt movement.
