From jab to Final Smash, from rolls to shield breaks, who will take the top spot in MockRock's list?

@seansean792 3 года назад

Dis gonna be good. Hero's specials have some of my favorite animations. He looks so mad charging The Frizz line, the zap line has him move his hand up his sword, which just feels right. The transition from "Hmm what do I wanna pick... ah! Wait, no no..." when drawing from menu to the battle face he puts on whenever he picks a spell feels so natural and an excellent way to convey their fighting spirit.

@Empy_C. 3 года назад

Cool.

@Gabriel-sj6yx 3 года назад

For Neutral special imo I would have gone for Roy's Neutral special. After you do the worst animations you should do the best sound designs for every character. I think Roy has one of the best sounding Neutral specials.

@seansean792 3 года назад

@@Gabriel-sj6yx yeah, the scream of pure power is something I really like in this game.

@FalcoVille 3 года назад

Screw it. I'm gonna waste a lot of precious time with every move category. Jab: King K. Rool. All 3 hits are extremely fitting for his personality, especially the kick for the third hit. Ftilt: Wario. Duh. Dtilt: Falco. No particular reason other than I've just always loved the tail swipe since Melee. Utilt: Ridley. I love how snappy the wing strike looks. Dash Attack: Kirby. He becomes a big firey ball of death and destruction. Fsmash: Ike. The animation is just Ganondorf's sword swing but taken to maximum overdrive. It gives me nothing but a sense of fear and I love it. Dsmash: Incineroar. It's my favorite of the two belly-flop down smashes. K. Rool would be my runner-up for this category. Usmash: Fox. His flip kick is iconic for a reason. He knows how to look good doing it. Nair: Mewtwo. It stands out compared to most other neutral airs, so I like it. Fair: Falco. I loved this one ever since Brawl. It's also the closest we'll ever get to a Star Fox character actually doing a barrel roll in Smash. Bair: King K. Rool. It's K. Rool doing a big beefy swipe, what else can I say? Uair: Wario. Because this mans can clap. Dair: Ganondorf. He owns the stomp. Not Captain Falcon. Neutralb: Donkey Kong. I love Giant Punch's charge animation, and also the partical effects, and also everything else. Sideb: Ridley. Space Pirate Rush redefines what it means to wipe the floor with your opponent. Downb: Pokémon Trainer. Pokémon Switch is so quick, yet looks so good. Would ask Charizard to be my best man for sure. Upb: Meta Knight. Shuttle Loop just looks so snappy and the partical effects help it a ton. Grab: Ganondorf. Because it looks so wimpy and pathetic compared to every other move he has and I find it really funny. Pummel: Game & Watch. Its the most unique pummel animation in my opinion, so I like it. Fthrow: Lucario. Nothing says "snappy" quite like Lucario's forward throw. Bthrow: Doctor Mario. It must be by law. Dthrow: Falco. He literally slams the opponent on the floor and fires on them with his blaster at point-blank. That's pretty vicious. Uthrow: Kirby. He goes up, and comes right back down, plain and simple. What gives this one a leg up over similar up throw animations is that his opponent is cooked to a nice golden-brown when he comes back down. As for the best animated characters, I'd give it to King K. Rool, Wario, and Incineroar.

For me the most animated character is Incineroar, seriously he taunts when he get hits and gets angry when he doesn’t. The throws are amazing, the walking is taunt worthy, and when his side-B misses he just shrug and gets a confused face it so funny to see when it happens.

@SirNarax 2 года назад

I love King K. Rool with a side of bias. Not only for them just being really good animations but there are a lot of crossovers between him and Donkey Kong. You use a side special to bury people? Ah truely pathetic, I simply use a sumo stomp of a down-tilt. His aerials as well. Donkey Kong kicks downward, King K. Rool puts his whole body into it. Donkey Kong kicks to the side, King K. Rool does a full drop kick. Donkey Kong does this double fisted slam well King K. Rool has this magnificent punch. His side aerials are also inverted, backair spikes and forward air knocks back. The way he puts his weight into a lot of his animations and this contrast with his rival Donkey Kong is incredible. Also the way he pathetically flaps his arms after up special wears off is pretty funny.

This has less to do with animations, but I love the steps this game took with King K. Rool's character model and characterization. I would never have thought to have him run on all fours or have him wear a tattered cape, but it really magnifies the savage, feral king angle that the Donkey Kong games were aiming for. They did this while leaving room for his goofy nature too.

Banjo's down throw is one of my favorite smash animations ever. The glee and the swift thud just SLAYS me.

@reda7072 3 года назад

I think Ryu's f-smash deserves a spot on the list. Just like King Dedede's face plant, the massive build-up involving the drawback and then the kick (without counting the sound effect) really shows you the raw power and mastery of body attacks.

@oops3798 3 года назад

I feel like Byleth’s Down-B should’ve been given at least an honorable mention. The sheer effort you can see her pouring into the axe swing is shown off so well through the windup and how exaggerated her swing is, and the axe feels so powerful because of it. The finishing shockwave feels equally as natural, and the endlag being her forcibly removing the axe from the ground is the perfect end to this monster of an attack. This doesn’t directly relate to the animation, but the super armor helps sell the move so well, kicking in when the axe begins moving to say that it’s so powerful nothing can interrupt it.

@sarougeau 3 года назад

Almost all the moves that use Aymr are so weighty and raw feeling. Getting a down-air spike feels so good when you see them lift the axe up above their head right before slamming it down on the skull of the poor fighter trying to recover to ledge. Also, down-smash feels like it has the momentum of a bus that would shatter shins like glass.

@Underworlder5 3 года назад

@@sarougeau i find that a little ironic, considering that in 3H, i felt edelgard has the most underwhelming animations of the lords. they try to show off her strength by having her effortlessly wield an axe in one hand, but it just robs the animations of all sense of weight, and makes the swings look weak for someone who is supposed to be the powerhouse of the lords. in that game, i think dimitri had the best animations, since they portray his strength in a way that makes the hits feel impactful. watching his post time skip version scraping the lance on the ground as he swings at the enemy or jumping in the air to throw the lance at point blank range feels very satisfying to watch. ahreadbar still looks strong in smash, but not as much as failnaught or aymr

@sarougeau 3 года назад

@@Underworlder5 oh yeah, if we’re talking about the animations from 3H I have a lot of gripes with most of them. I’m a HEMA fencer and I’ve practiced with a variety of swords and polarms and the animations in the game are so goofy looking.

@wingedbluj1674 3 года назад

@@sarougeau yeah but nearly every game exaggerates weapon swings to make it visually distinct for either function (so the player can tell each move apart) or pure spectacle. Look at Hero's Matchet Man, he reels back all the way, then swings in a straightforward and predictable overhead strike that leaves him wide open, but I love that move so much because that animation sells the shield-shattering, ground shaking, power this move has.

@electroshockgamer2733 3 года назад

@@wingedbluj1674 My personal favorite Hero animation is Thwack.
