Well...
here's also some of his background information...
Character Background:
Zero was once a member of an organization, of soul reapers who keep track of the souls of the forgotten, called Genesis. He was kicked out because of his lack of experience... so Zero wandered off in a quest to aquire more power in order to one day have enough energy to retaliate against Genesis.
Zero is mainly a calm character, and he thinks about his movements carefully before making a move in battle... he wanders various places collecting the souls of people as he travels... for every soul he gathers his powers increase.
Zero has the ability of using the kinetic energy of the matter around him, and uses it against his opponent..
along with that, he can also manipulate the souls of the dead.
The only time Zero uses his true energy is whenever he is weak, and is at the point of dying.
while the animations are smooth, some of them look kinda robotic. The crouching animation's legs are choppy and doesn't make sense imo (the kneeling leg's foot suddenly changes and his left leg doesn't bend properly). The guarding animation's arms are bad; they look like bent tubes. Try messing with them a bit more so it'll look better. Running could use some bouncing for more 'lively' animation.
Also, you need to change the shape of his head in those animations.
I think he needs better shoulders, too. the jumping animation shows this pretty well--you made his arms seem to slant down triangularly instead of being more leveled off and square.
also, the running animation definitively needs some up/down movement. as it is now, is more like he's turned left and right while being hold by the head.
hmmm...
i see exactly what you guys are talking about, i'll see to it that these points get fixed.
thx for the comments.
Combo 1 has a mysterious black dot appear at the far right just before it loops, other than that follow what others have said and this'll pretty spiffy.
Strange name for a character though being that there's already a pretty famous Zero out there.
