Basic combo

Neutral Special: Astral Saber

*Arthur's main ground move, he stand still in a battle pose on which he can charge his astral energy to add up more power on his attacks, also some of his moves may benefit from this technique, he can become a lethal warrior if using this move correctly.
this move can be used on the air, if performed in air it'll skip the charging and will do the attack inmediately, though it looks easier this way it is very hard to do this move properly.

Side Special: Aster Bomb
this move makes arthur cast a energy bomb with volatile properties, he can also kick it to make it a projectile, if done so he automatically does the ''down tilt'', he may recieve damage from his own bomb but it may also charge him up. also on air it acts as a recovery, you will see.

Up Special: Wind Barrier
Arthur's Trump card for recovery, he jumps swiftly and rnshrouds himself in a strong sphered whirlwind which makes him invulnerable to some attacks and lets him float for about one and a half second, does little damage and knockback and works the same either grounded or in the air.

I like the combo.

This is so awesome. He's more manly than Ike. Good ideas in moveset and attacks. I don't really see any clear errors in the animations. Great job.

Epic as always Zilch. :3

Very raw!I like the animations and the possibilities in the moves.

I like it a lot, but I see 3 stray pixels in one frame of the N-SPecial, uncharged version(One slashing upwards).
Final Smash is own.

OHSWEETJESUS.

I think I'd become gay for your sprite talent Zilch.

This looks nothing short of amazing. The sheer amount of frames per animation is incredible and makes everything look smooth as silk.

You sir, could have a very bright future in spriting. If I ever get my dream and start an indie game company, I'd totally hire you.

*actual detailed crit. coming sometime soon to a forum thread near you*

I'm not exactly sure I like the Idle and the combo needs to be reanimated, but it's good.

How long did it take you to do these current sprites?

Oh god the animation is beautiful. The FS is stupid, but the animation is so good that I don't mind O_O
