Character Intro

I wanted to be able to convey how confident the character is in her own fighting abilities. How much of a breeze she thinks fighting is. She easily wipes the floor with several goons who use guns with her swords. Then I wanted to end off the intro with her flourishing her sword to show off to the camera.

Attack Combo

For my attack combo, I wanted the first combo to be quick as for the first attack in a combo, you want it to be the most responsive. It is a quick 2 hit, then followed up by a 2nd hit that feels stronger compared to the first. Then for the last hit in the attack combo, you can feel a windup before the final jump attack where the character swings with full force. Then I tried to add personality into the recovery by making her spin the blade while catching it with her other hand, to show that she likes to show off.

Boss Intro

For my boss intro, the concept was a mother dragon rushing back to defend its nest. An establishing shot to show the nest built in the ruins of a destroyed castle, then to show the mother dragon flying back hurriedly. Ending off with the dragon landing next to the nest, ready to defend it from any adventurer that tries to steal its eggs.
