the backward dodge was always the same, but in the new videos, the backwards dodge is also used to the sides many times, thats what I was getting at.
Now the "improved" backward dodge has become more or less the universal dodge move to almost all directions, except for 1 or two slight variations, and I don't like how it looks.
made some gifs, the first 3 show the same animation (or too similar) being used in 3 different directions, a fourth one thats different because geralt turns, and the remaining 4 are 4 entirely different dodge moves.
@EliHarel I actually never had a problem with the original megaman dash lol. Back then I just attributed it didnt look too good to lack of animation polish and blending, but the move itself was very realistic and effective to me, I thought people were overreacting and judging as if that was going to be final.
Anyway, I was in the minority it seems
