Gladiator sp2 animation

Sachhyam257

Idk if its just me, but the first hit of Gladiator's sp2 is decievingly close to his heavy animation, atleast it looks like it from the corner of my eye.

*I know the sp2 hit is angled diagonally while the heavy is horizontal, but on god it looks the same in my peripheral vision.

I have been clipped a few times because of it. (Less of a problem now as I am hyper fixated on not letting that happen again lol)

The animation is definitely different, but it trips me up istg. Maybe its the way he winds up the punch? idk.

I mean, Yondu's heavy and SP1 animations are similar... it's going to happen. That's why we need to pay attention when we fight.

I just tell by the edges of the screen darkening when an opponent throws a special.

You can see he goes higher for the special, so that’s something that might help

Also, on the special animation he hits the ground, there’s still a little window of time to dodge the beam

The screen doesn't darken until the second hit, i.e. after he hits the ground.
