Best idle animation in any game.

Not sure how this one flew under my radar, but I just picked up the PS4 re-release online. Thanks for the heads up.
There is also Odin Sphere and its really good.

If you are in to adventure games similar to AI Somnium Files, there is also 13 Sentinels. It has really REALLY good story.

I own Aegis Rim and Muramasa on both Vita and Wii, but Odin Sphere is one I also missed. Time to find a copy online. I love Atlus games.
 
Flash style stretching and squashing with parts glued together is NOT good animation. Even when done well (es. Dragon's Crown).

Most of you have seen this now (I hope) but this video essay always come to mind when talking about this aspect of animation:



Highlights the bad animation in MKX by contrasting it with good examples.
 
Yeah, from the ones posted in this thread, as far as animation goes, this is my favorite.

I have to boot up the games to double check but I think this has always been Shermie's idle animation, going back all the way to her original appearance in The King of Fighters '97.

Glad to see so much SNK love in general in this thread.

Oh yeah, that Elena one is a close second.
OG version.

Kinda, yeah.
I really dont understand logic behind calling character design "pedo"

These characters are adults

And Amazon has muscles like Abby in TLOU2 but that design considered "brave" while Amazon considered "pedo"

Someone please explain this to me......am I missing something here?

Dude would casually light up a cigarette as if he didn't just kill like a thousand nazis.

Nothing, just a bit of hypocrisy from our frens the gaming journos.

I guess strong women are fine, as long as they aren't revealing any skin below their neck because God forbid you find something attractive in a video game.
 
Kof XII had some,the shadows on the sprites is what sells it.

Capcom did this in 94, no excuse for lazy animation in modern games
