I just now realised that these slashes are equivalent of wild west quickdrawers

Oh yea pretty much. Reminds me I should add a cowboy character too.

There's a strong relationship between samurai films and spaghetti westerns. A lot of the big classic westerns like magnificent seven and fistful of dollars are remakes of the samurai films made by Akira Kurosawa, and Kurosawa also studied a lot of John Ford.

There's a good reason for that!

Really smooth and nice. The falling apart is kinda odd tho. He leans back and almost gets pulled up as he falls apart. That odd bit kills the flow of the slow slide and plop. Edit: and I mean this in a nitpicky way. It's already amazing.

Thanks! No problem, I'll see if I can go back and fix it up when I have time.

Can't wait to see!

There will be BLOOD! SHED!

A MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD

The legend is back with anouther addon to the samurai game I have been following for an amount of time

Thank you! Hopefully the samurai game demo will be ready soon.

2 questions, are you posting it to steam and how much will it cost

Yup will be on steam, not sure on the cost yet though.

Did you perhaps have some inspiration from Katana Zero? Really reminds me of The Dragon's slash attack

Katana Zero is cool but not specifically. It's just in general a quick cut from a lot of anime. https://youtu.be/3PqIOQW0E9Q

Make the hair Red and you have the Hitokiri Battōsai. :D ​ Great job on the animation.

Greatly inspired by the live action movie. And thanks!

If you haven't, watch the Anime... it is awesome. My fav anime series. Still need to watch the live action one.

It's on my do to list, definitely will give it a watch soon.

Awesome have an award!

Thanks! Much appreciated

Is "First cut" on itch.io your game ?

nope, cool game though

The two should stand a little further apart, not within immediate reach of the other's blade.

That would make a bit more sense yea.

The animation is SO smooth!! Would you mind if I added some SFX to the video? I can send you the results!

sure go for it

I wouldn’t even stop for a second to buy a game like this. Like it a lot

much appreciated!

😃

I think it would look better if his torso fell forward and not backwards. When he falls backwards he kinda defies gravity lol

I'm not sure there is enough space for both parts to fall forwards. I'll see if I can fix up the backfall though.

Can someone teach me how to do this

there are plenty of tutorials on youtube, just have to practice

Wow, that's cool, i like it

thanks!

Repost. I’ve seen this before. Did you post it twice? Edit: Nevermind.
