Quirby - Quirby64 (PLAYER)

That being said, I'm sure you can improve on your animations. I've noticed you've included an idle frame for most animations - don't bother, it's a frame wasted for the four you could use.
Here's a comparison:

Now, in the Kirby animation, you'll notice there's a frame where Kirby is facing the opposite direction: this is the build-up of the animation, Kirby is building up torque so that he releases more force. Then follows an intermediate frame which expresses speed, and finally the attack frame itself. All that took four frames, yet it is a convincing display of strength.


Your current animation has three frames including the idle frame. Quirby is facing forward in both last frames, and the only thing that changes is the length of his foot. What's lacking most is the build-up to the attack, but you could also have an in-between frame like above.

Keep going, and don't hesitate in posting gifs too!
