Spoilered because a lot of images

I always loved this S. F+HP. It just fits her so perfectly.

I always thought this was a pretty fun to watch J. MK

This was actually one of the things in this game that really got my attention when I first saw the game over a year ago. I was like "Damn, that was a cool super."

I love everything about this one. Her lines, the way it animates, and the sound that plays.

Best guard push anim in the game.

I thought this one was really clever

I still think 'Holy shit" each time I see this.

She turned into a goddamn teacup. That is all.

This one got posted already, but I remember I was watching a stream once and it froze on this exact frame.

tip about peacock "magnifier" normal: try to cancel it really fast and see what happens

just another testament of how the team pay attention to everything

Yeah I wanted to post a video of that.

Stray ant is Peacocks best zoning tool.

I recall seeing a .gif of an unused Double animation where she turns into a dragon face. Anyone got a copy of that one?
 
Can someone get me Fortune's Death animation? That's not my favorite, but I can't figure out how she dies, her arms fall completely off, then when she collapses they snap back on again.

My favorite animations have to be (for Cerebella) the pushblock animation, the s.lk, deflector, Diamond Dynamo, Excellebella, Grab Bag, j.mk, Pummel Horse, Titan Knuckle, c.hk, and grab whiff. Sorry I have no nifty gifs, I don't know where to get them.

It's like a whole new world of sensations just came to her along with the realization she has the instruments to make it happen.

All these posts are making me seriously re-consider my vote for Excellabella. Can't we just agree everything is great? ....except for that Fenrir Drive frame. That's the stuff nightmares are made off. o_0

It's also making me very sad we don't have "clean" gifs. It seems that, like Vanillaware games, the character model sort of "blends" (sorry, I'm not tech savvy in these things) with the background and shadow. I assume the Bella c.HP screen Caleb put up in post #46 is the "crispest" resolution one can get. Just a quick look on Paint was enough to see the problems cleaning these frames could pose. And this is from someone who damn near offered his eyesight to Beelzebub to rip the in-game artworks of Rival Schools many moons ago.

Anyway, permit me to raise a toast to all the contractors! The unsung heroes of this epic.

Doesn't seem like it'd be very easy without a program to do all the image editing sequentially for you, I'm sure at some point someone will, but until then we just have to settle for some stage backgrounds and lighting effects on the .gifs
 
I also really like just the part where Andy punches. Pretty awesome.

I'm a big fan of Big Bands crouching H.K. You know the giant windpipes? Yeah that. So badass how his coat moves around with it.

That's too tall an order for me. If we ever get to the point where we can just clean sprites on MS Paint, then I can help. >_>

Parasoul's jump fierce reminds me of a brush stroke.

Doubles neutral standing animation.

Peacock dead on the ground.

Yo hold up, look at Valentine's right boob for a second. Notice how it's squished up a bit to the left as if a person's head is there, yet Ms. Fortune's head is obviously somewhere on the ground?

This opens up a whole new level of physics here. Headcanon, Ms. Fortune Schrödingers Cat in which her head exists in two places at once. It can be seen in one place, yet still exist in another and vice versa.

If any of you elitist physics majors try to correct me on any scientific errors I just made, I will kick your ass so hard that you'll have to do some hard math to predict what planet you're going to land on. It's a joke, Ms. Fortune + Schrödingers Cat = Funny.
 
im pretty sure thats what the creators had in mind when creating Ms. Fortune, a cat that is neither truly alive but can't die,
any ways my favorite animation is

Specifically with the Cirno alt
 
eww i had no idea that was actually what happens thats gross
 
I'm gonna have to slo mo painwheel at some point in the future to truly appreciate (and cringe) Painwheel's animation.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PAINWHEEL PLAYERS!

Seriously, it took me a good solid month or so after release before I could even look at her.
 
brb going into the files for skullgirls and modding painwheel out so I don't have to think of such animations

Reading this reminded me about how crazy difficult it is to get sprite .gifs of this game.

I'd love it if Lab Zero would implement an option to turn of stage lighting so we can at least get some rips from off screenshots. (I made a post about that in the feature suggestion board)

Truly the hottest animation in the game Kappa
Its so BRUTAL isn't it? Its a pretty good move to use in combos too.
 
isnt stage lighting turned off in 2d mode?

Actually, if you turn on hitbox view in training mode, even with her head off, Fortune has hurt boxes where her head should be. Pro players would tell you that this is too ensure that anything that works on headed Fortune works also on headless Fortune, but clearly it actually shows that Fortune's head exists in multiple places at the same time.

Because they're rebels. Valentine's boobs, I mean.

What does Bella's headgear have to do with this? :3
(OK, that was dreadful...)

I never noticed this before. That said...

Of course not. This would be a more appropriate reflection of my reaction:

SHE'S NOMNIPRESENT!

C'mon guys! I dare say this was a good one.

Stage Lighting is still present in 2D backgrounds.
