TADAH!

When you are animating or creating the roughs, a good practice is to pay attention to specific parts of the animation so you can find what needs to be fixed. For example, her right foot seems to change volume throughout the animation. Even with the perspective change, it shouldn't look like that. Yeah, I realise that since it will be shrunk down to sprite size that it might not be noticable but this is a good practice to take up in general in regards to animation. You will find that focusing on 'volume' rather than 'lines' will improve your work. Working in 3d and/or sculpting (in clay) is a good practice to take up if you want to improve your drawing skills because you will get a better idea of volume but that is really something optional and up to you.

There are other tricks you could pick up that could help you with your skills such as watching real life footage of various actions and motions which will give you a better idea of timing, even if it is not exactly video of what you want to animate EG a video of someone throwing a punch but not the exact punch you want to animate but it will give you a better idea of the timing. This also helps in regards to what the rest of the body would do when a punch is thrown and not just how the arm would bend.

There are always tons of tricks and cheats you can pick up to improve your skills, in general, but you need to put work into what you want to achieve.

Anyway, that was just a little useful advice.

Hope it helps.

ima upload one more theme and save the rest for the release date.

Release date? You're going to finish the game this time?

start messing around with animation and also doing some studying on animation more. but i also notice i should of went in got some more reference and using a stick base reference to help with fluid posing. any pointers?

If we have to choose between the two, then the 2nd one if better.

I would have the second KO animation to blend into the first KO animation or maybe the other way around. It depends on how you animate the KO as it appears on the screen at the end of the round (like scaling) but both are good so that is why I think that one should blend into the other somehow.
