A bit... Disappointing
I would ask people to go back to Liscense to Combo 1, and it's Revamp.
The animation there is smoother, but they both have the same problem, save for the Revamp which actually got people doing a different kind of combo, that wasn't slow, delayed power strikes, since they actually got in the impressive fast combos.
There is VERY little variation. VERY LITTLE. As they always say, variety is the spice of life, and this animation lacks any spice. When I was done it felt like I was looking at the same thing over and over again. I felt that there was absolutely no variation. Not that I'm saying it's all the same, it's that it's kinda the same over and over again.
You say you like stylish brutal action, okay. Sure, it's fine to have some of it, but to have ONLY that, is a bit stale. I suggest researching faster combos, new ways to combo, other than just fist and kicks. I'm looking around Newgrounds, and I'm just thinking to myself. If all the stickfighting knowledge were to come together, that is, knowledge on stickfighting with swords, guns, spears, tridents, halberds, whips, flail maces, thunder, fire, ice magic, summoning swords.
Look, just be CREATIVE, as CREATIVE as possible. That is the only thing people have going for them when doing something as repetitive as stickfighting. It becomes about HOW you're doing it. Okay, you have brutal down, now try something else. Fast? Neutral-play (comboing WITHOUT moving from the spot)? Caster? Timing based? There is a lot you can do, yet I'm not seeing it being tried.
