Ill introduce good animating to you first.

first off, stiffness. a pain in the ass, this will always get ya.
-stiffness makes an animation very unrealistic. to fix it, you want to move every joint in the frame. as shown:
-this is with stiffness (i may have over exaggerated a bit)


Second up: easing. makes fighting anis smoother and more realistic Now i know most of you know how to do this, and people may say you suck at easing, even though u tried and you know how to, you just need sum more practice. but heres sum anis showing you how, if you dont know wut it is.
-Easing:
-no easing:

Basicly the spacing is like this l-l--l---l-----l------------l-----l---l--l-l
Not like this l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l--l

well thats all i can think of atm... now to fighting
im too lazy to type the steps, ill just throw down .piv forms of fighting techniques. Click the movement to open .piv file.
