Best Fighting Game Walking Animations
- Thread starter Menitta

I can't find a gif of Juri's walk animation from SFIV but that was godlike too.
Should've been first post.
Oh the spritesets themselves are ripped properly (straight rips from the game data), but no one has made the effort to properly piece them together using the animation data (this is more complicated).
The thing with these sprites is that the sprite data itself doesn't hold any information regarding alignment (unlike sprite sets from say, NeoGeo King of Fighters). The alignment information has to be read from a separate table of data.

She knows. Izayoi's is kinda cool too.

Another thing I love about his walk is that he's hovering a little above the ground.
This is basically another taunt for Slayer. After pilebunkering my opponent into the corner I often opt out of chasing them down to continue the pressure because smugly walking forward with Slayer is too much fun.

I know she came first but in my mind, she'll always be "Not-Bayonetta"
It's the black hair and glasses.
Not a walking animation, but still amazing.
The SFIV rendition without the jacket is the saddest thing.
No gifs, but Nemesis' forwards and backwards walking animations in UMvC3. I love it when characters walk slowly to/from, and also turn their back on the opponent.
SFIV was a mistake.

That was clearly them animating Dudley but not being able to get the jacket to work so they just said "fuck it, this looks enough like a win pose."

Who walks like this in real life?

Noticed that Tekken players opinion on "idol" characters is mostly on the extreme negative side of things, wonder why! (▰˘◡˘▰

Yes yes everyone loves Mai jiggly bits but a lot of characters in XII/XIII have great walking animations. First on the top or my head are Ash and Vice. Can't find any cool gifs of other XII/XIII sprites online though.
Doctor B's buttslide from Tekken 3 / TT / TT2 obviouisly.
I mean, c'mon.

Can't find a good gif for it but Bison's walking animation in SFV is so BOSS. The man just has stopped giving fucks.
I see guy amd raise you cody pissed fresh out out the penitentiary

As a fan of the old man, I have to help fix this!

Why you have fighting game in quotes?Alucard SOTN
Not a "fighting game" but the sprite based animations are still OP IMO
Since chatcter movement is one of the main ways to depict personality, I think you'll find tons of great walks in fighting games with good art direction. Pretty much everyone on Skullgirls and a ton of Arcsys charcters have great walks. The same with a lot of SNK characters and 90s CAPCOM.
Does anyone in NRS games have a notable walk/run cycle?
NCR Redslayer
NeoGAF's Vegeta
Can those things even move like that? Also juri and necalli's v state crawl fro sfv. And beowolfs walking back animation.

Definitely a great pick as well.
It is truly gutter trash.
I also just wanted to drop off some more beautifully stylish sprite animations.
And some great resting animations. This game is gorgeous.

Shit made no sense. It's not like Capcom cares about clipping.

Great animation work. Kinda wish they'd port a P4A+P4AU compilation over to PS4. I never played Ultimax (came out after I sold my PS3), only played the original, but I did enjoy it a lot. I want both so I can have the complete story.
Same here. Cerebella's forward walk animation is my absolute favorite though.
Woah, woah. What is she from?

Scoping out TFG for characters not mentioned yet. I gotta say SNK did a damn fine job with Zero when you stack it up against the original MMZ sprite.
Ai (NeoGeo Battle Colosseum)
Oswald
This suave badass. I know this is about walking animations, but his run looks great too
Hyo Amano
Speaking of suave badass
Look at that strut!

Anyone got a gif of Miguel's OHKO walking punch?
This is it in video form:

Walks straight at you, laughing at your ass, knocks you out with one hit, and laughs at your ass again.

Aww yeah
Fuck I love how KoF XIII looks. Mai's animations are godlike especially. Still a little sad about XIV not sticking to 2D but oh well.

Oswald from The King of Fighters XI, Psylocke from the Marvel Vs. series, and any of the Shadow DIO from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are a few of my favourites.
Naturally, Mai from The King of Fighters XIII for obvious reasons.
Although not a walk cycle itself, Abyss3's only form of movement looks pretty sweet too!
EDIT: Hulk is also smooth like butter, albeit uninteresting butter.

aside from many of the picks here, I really like Shermie walking animation
Took long enough, that fashion runway walk animation is so epic.
Yup, as others have said the backwards walk is amazing too. Me and my friend started it up for the first time and just stopped playing the first round to see SPP's animations. Fucking love her so much!
Thank you.
Oh, I understand all that, thanks! I just find it funny that this hasn't been corrected in the final output. Rippers are generally pretty meticulous people, and do a great job re-building, no matter the issues. At least there are some better ones from P4A and such in here now!
For Mai, I rather like how her hair brushes over her upraised elbow, too. Beyond the "Jiggly Bits", there's still a loving attention to fold detail and cloth weight all throught XII and XIII's animations that really help sell them to me.
Capcom artist just going HAM on games with so few playable characters, lol. Tessa is great, I still want a Warzard / Red Earth port of some sort.

Thanks for helping correct this grand, grievous issue! It really is a fantastic strut, so full of confidence. Takuma's XIII look isn't what we're used to, but it's a great take on the personality of his character.
As mentioned above, Under Night In-Birth. Sorry, thought the context of post would cover it. Wish I could find more from that game... I love Waldstein's walk animation (nice and heavy) along with his imposing, boss-sounding music as well.
I'll just pretend this counts:
There are all great too. NGBC had some surprisingly great animations all throughout that still impress me now. It's like the stuff used to make the NEST Saga bosses, but used on almost all the new sprites in the game. I do love Tung's Run in that game, as well:
