Project M Art Tuesday - Animation Revamps!

[KhanYe]

In this week's edition of Project M Art Tuesday, the PMDT did something a little bit different than usual. Instead of rolling out the usual new alt costume, the PMDT decided to showcase some new animation work done by animators camelot, FireBallStars, and SilentDoom! There's a multitude of new stylized revamps for a few characters, starting with our favorite not-Dragon-type, Charizard.

Well, that was a Fairly cool change to make!

Forward Smash? Warlock Punch? Taunt? What is happening?

These PMDT animators have really set the Bair high! Sorry for that one...

Ganondorf doing a little twirl for his UTilt.

Roy takes his time pointing his sword with this revamp.

That hesitation though.

Pit does a little spin of joy!

Falcon clenches his fists!
​

As per usual, the PMDT continues to raise their own standards for the new update of Project M. Between Falcon's new run and Charizard's new forward air, there's a plethora of new animation changes for the new version that look much crisper than their past iterations. A special thanks must given to camelot, FireBallStars, and SilentDoom for their work on the game. What moves do you think need a change in look? Which change do you like the best? How excited are you for the new version of Project M?

Here's the link to all of the new animations!

KhanYe isn't sure if he's more excited for Smash 4 or PM v3.5. Discuss with me on Twitter @rbdayman!

Lovely work from the PMBR as always. <3

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Stop, stop. My pants can only hold so much.

 

[mixa]

firebolas!!

 

[Rukia]

Oh my.

 

[Jade_Rock55]

This is cool!

 

[Auramaniji]

I don't need it.
Really i'm fine...
...
RELASE IT

 

[Renji64]

The PMBR keeps providing great updates i hope 3.5 is coming pretty soon.

 

[Deleted member]

Stop, stop. My pants can only hold so much.

eww

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

eww

It was a joke.

 

[AuraShaman]

...Ehhh, I'm alittle iffy about Falcon's new dash. It really looked like he was wooshing all over the stage with little ease. I feel like this new sprint is making him more similar to Ganondorf...and we all know what havoc would happen if we get a Ganoncon......

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Just like always, keeping them standards high. I wonder when the day will come when the PMDT can't add anything new to P:M... hmmm... :/

 

[Captain Zack]

all these gifs almost crashed my page

 

[Marakatu]

I liked Falcon's old animation better, it made him look a like a Japanese hero.

 

[C-SAF]

why isn't ganon holding a sword?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

why isn't ganon holding a sword?

because he isn't?..... I dunno.

 

[Ragna22]

Pit's got a shoryuken, also Ganon's new up tilt animation looks very Tekken.

 

[Virum]

May want to tweak that OP a little ;D

 

[C-SAF]

because he isn't?..... I dunno.

You do know, because it would be dope

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Ooh, really nice stuff here.

 

[Mythra]

all these gifs almost crashed my page

My browser actually crashed trying to load dat Ganondorf animations, they should put them in spoiler tags.

Anyway I haven't played P:M in a while but after seeing those Charizard and Roy animations I want to install it again when 3.5 comes out.

 

[AuraShaman]

May want to tweak that OP a little ;D

Yes, he should definately keep his hands open.

Again, floooow. He doesn't run like the wind, he is the wind. He isn't a train about to run you over , but a sprinting professional athlete with flame powers...

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

You do know, because it would be dope

Well he DOES use a sword for one of his custom moves.

 

[SchAlternate]

Them Roy taunts. They make me happy. :]

 

[Rizner]

Pit's hand goes through his shield. Other than that, looks good.

 

[Ganreizu]

they should put them in spoiler tags..

The browser processes them regardless of spoiler tags.

Two things I want for Charizard/Lizardon.

1. His Weak Attack from Brawl. I hate Weak Attacks that only do one move(like Ganondorf's Thunderpunch).

2. His running animation from Pikachu's Vacation.

I liked Falcon's old animation better, it made him look a like a Japanese hero.

He wasn't originally meant to be a Japanese hero. He was meant to be an American Anti-Hero, like Judge Dredd.

 

[GoldHazard]

In PMBR we trust.

Animations look great. I'm glad SilentDoom posted on the subreddit saying that Captain Falcon was keeping his hands open during the run animation, rather than clenched fists. Looks more fitting.

 

[beestmode]

Awesome job guys! Keep up the great work! Can't wait for new update!

 

[Wolfiv]

Now that Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, Snake, Squirtle and Ivysaur are gone from SSB4, I totally think these guys need some more love on Project M!

As a runner, I feel that I should mention the difference between clenching your fists/leaving your hands open.

Many studies have shown that leaving your hands open while running allows you to run faster for longer. Some speculate that it has to do with the aerodynamics of having an open hand versus a clenched fist, or just simply because the area on your hands are cooler/less sweaty when they are open rather than clenched. Many runners, before even seeing studies like this, seem to also agree. That is probably why ungodly fast runners in cartoons or games, as well as real burst runners, seem to run with their hands open. It just makes more sense and makes the process seem more natural.

So maybe you should keep Captain Falcon's hands open. Or as my super srs friend says "only plebs or sissy power walkers clench their hands while trying to go fast! If there aren't weights in your hands, then your hands should be open." But I totes agree with that too.

Rider Punch: check.
Rider Kick: check.
Ridiculous taunt pose: check.
Gratuitous English catchphrase: yes!

 

[Gidy]

Will this add lag to moves?

Charizard's jab is arguably one of, if not his singular best spacing tool. His 3 hit jab in brawl was terrible. I have no idea why you'd want a crappy 3 hit jab over a singular hit jab that you can just spam for a 3 hit combo if you'd like.

 

[GymleaderBen]

my boyroy looking sharp

 

[AZ!]

Is there a release date ..?

 

[Boss N]

tbh, I'm not seeing much of a difference in some of these.
(Prepares the flame shield ;_; )

 

[The One Who Wrote This]

These look good, but I KINDA prefer the old Falcon run as mentioned by previous posts. The hands do make a difference IMHO.

 

[WaveDashCash]

If only the actual games would revamp the characters like this. There's never enough time to do it all. That Falcon is amazing.

 

[Wasp]

uhhh ok, not really necessary if you ask me, but nice to see them work out the little things like these.
