How did you know it would be a team tourney anyways? The poll was very close between 1v1 and 5v5, a difference of only 4-5 votes after basically a single day (after poll was remade). Good thing you closed it before it could derail your plans!
That's the point. No one else knew what the format of the next tourney would be (the poll was still open) or when it would take place until you made this thread. By which time you had already assembled a team that might not otherwise exist if everyone was made aware of the tourney details at the same time. Blatant corruption.
Also what happened to Name Engraved items? They were one of the rewards from the first duel tourney. Rather have one of those than another go-round with the crown tbh.
What would you do with the transition between rightswing and the other attack directions? Right now "hand-order" on the haft remains constant between them all (which may be to blame for the awkward animation in the first place?). With the new rightswing and the old everything else, you have to switch hand-order, which, as far as I can tell, would involve letting go of the haft momentarily with at least one hand. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just wondering how it would be handled.
Random thoughts:
Have you considered changing the overhead to the same grip as your proposed rightswing (i.e. right hand closer to the head)? If the rightswing does end up being changed, I think that would make more sense visually. Also it sort of gives you a "balance" of two attack animations using one hand-order and two using the other.
Have you played around at all with the idea of an attack animation that starts with a wider grip that narrows as the swing progresses? Found this video where they seem to do that quite a bit:
It's pretty shitty to hold MBG over the devs' heads while complaining about crpg but this thread just proves why people do it. Months go by in crpg threads with minimal to zero dev interaction, not even to say they are no longer working on crpg at all and are going to hand over the reins, and then this gets posted and there's multiple devs responding multiple times.
can't believe these nerds are so emotionally invested in tearing someone down that they can't acknowledge an irl commitment might take precedence over this ded gaem.
and lol @ gtx talking shit about someone else bitching out
