The start pose is self explanatory. I usually bookend my planning using this as the first and the last frame of my animationspic.twitter.com/xOtIxlBKOj
The initiation pose kinda serves as the "antic" for the actual move. Notice how she generally stays "low" for an extended period of time giving you the impression that she's "loading up". (Also, because of my slow input, she passes through "crouch" which makes a jarring blend)pic.twitter.com/CFqlv0ihpn
This is the "leaving" contact and it's important for a couple of reasons. 1) It is a sort of "breakdown" that I use to illustrate overlaps by "leading" with certain body parts and 2) this is the maximum speed the body will travel "up" and will decelerate to the apex of the aerialpic.twitter.com/BkdgrBcT1a
This is sort of the whole point to the animation. Also, specific to this animation, is the apex of the move as the body is now changing direction from ascending to descending making "hang time". If there were no FX, this is the pose I would try to hold for a bit to draw your eyepic.twitter.com/sF46poJ93Y
Making contact with the ground signifies the point at which the body goes from accelerating (due to gravity) to decelerating due to her base (legs, pelvis, core) absorbing her weight gracefully.pic.twitter.com/ASrFQWRzui
The "bottom of her recovery" is the point at which her base fully absorbed her body weight and is now changing direction to go back to her ready stance or start pose. At this point, input is allowed to "break" out of this animation is fully animated otherwise.pic.twitter.com/7STkapgJKx
And we're back at the start. Single move combat animations are some of the funnest to animate since they are relatively quick to complete and you can cram a bunch of animation principles in a short amount of time. Hope this was helpful. (go back and peep her wild right arm pose)pic.twitter.com/znl0SXfEAh
