Hi guys, I decided to attempt making another KOF striker once again. That would be Athena. There are a few versions of her, notably from NGBC, but for the love of ... you wear more than a swimsuit to a swordfight :)

Some time ago I posted an old version of her stance, but I never liked it.

have a look and comment:

her new stance:


and walking anim:


Old version

Your WIP looks good.  You're a very great spriter.

I hope this char will be as good as Rocky.

Hmm...this should be interesting to see you do. Will she have any custom states (Midnight Bliss and the likes?), and how customized will her gameplay be compared to the normal Athena?

To be honest, the body and the arm holding the shield could use some movement in that stance. The sword movement also seems weird, at least with how the body is moving right now, as it feels it could be far more lively. I feel she could move a lot more, and it feels silly for her to raise her sword that highly. Not only that, but perhaps the back of her hair could appear and move as well. As for the walking animation, I feel both her shield and sword arms could move subtly as well.

Here's a quick choppy edit, to show what I mean about the stance:



Also, it's good to see you back~

I think the walk anim should be slowed down a bit to make Neo Geo standard walk speeds personally.
