when the spear/glaive/polearm was stabbed into Cyan, if Crimson were to lift the spear thing upwards, it would have lobbed his head clean off

I never said it was lazy, I always thought it was unique.

this is very well done and has some neat ideas (though the blood was a little excessive but would look even better with bones and or gore). i reccomend what i say to most people and consider the momentum of movement and gravity’s effect on the figures, their weapons and everything around them. when someone moves quick before suddenly stopping, make their legs bend, tilt them back a bit as they attempt to stabilize their momentum and skid across the floor, this will in turn make your animation more smooth
