![Microman Acion Figures pose presentaton 3 Character Motions Characters come alive with special motion Presenting the attack poses The action figures are 10 centimeters I take a picture of the pose I extract the essen ce of the attack Each character has around 30-50 pictures The movement for the attacks are in my head. I've assigned numbers to when the attack comes out and the movement timing. But then, how do I convey it to the information to the motion designer? That's where I use Microman Action Figuresto present. If I'm able to reproduce the essence of movement beforehand, then it will work in a game. It goes without saying, but the hand that you see in some of the pictures is mine Using the Figure to get Motion I start by thinking of a moveset in my head. Coming up with moves is easy but in order to implement them in the game I need to have accuracy and unshakeable confidence. Let's take a look at the foundation for the moves Left The picture used in the project plan The pose actually used in the game IDLE PoSE STANCE This is the origin for everything. All basic actions come from this pose. However, there is a different pose used for the fallin This is the pose for when attacks tart. In the case of Smash, I decided to make a quick, exaggerated pose in order to show that the input has been entered and to encourage opponents to avoid the attack. ing pose which is then used as the starting point.

It's a time where the player can t control the character so we try to give the sense that the character is "alost back" to the iclle stance in order to make When there is an original game for the character I have the st aff examine that game carefully. The model's proportions can differ from the planned stance, so sometimes I rearrange them..an example in or hitlag, so of this is Sonic's down aerial leg swap consciously make it flashy full use of that time. Transition from thoughts to moveset If I want to translate the moveset from my head, I need to make sure that the team's designer can fully understand it First, the length of the move and the timing of the attack are designated to particular frames (F) Read more about these figures on page 115 igures on page 16 OF [STANCE] 5F [ATTACK FOLLOW THROUGH] PIT I affixed a strap to make a sword so that I can reproduce the weapon nd the actual attack comes ng for realistic movement Up-Smash"takes p nd out on 5th frame balance a ga e Smash.
