Motivated by this wonderful video, I am cloning this post for posterity.

Motivated by this excellent post by /u/Setchi that I came across that shows side-by-side tech options for the top tiers, I wanted to extend this to all characters, and add side by side comparisons from knockdown as well.

Given the tedium of collecting all the frames, I’ve decided to present just the top tiers for now. But - if people find this useful I’ll be more than happy to create analogous resources for the rest of the cast.

Side by Side Animations

Sample: All options for Fox out out downwaitd

This sections contains side-by-side GIFs of the possible options from either:

  1. a tech situation (“Tech”)
  2. a knockdown situation where the character is facing down (“Knockdown (D)”)
  3. a knockdown situation where the character is facing up (“Knockdown (U)”)

​

Character Tech Knockdown (D) Knockdown (U)
Fox Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Falco Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Marth Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Sheik Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Captain Falcon Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Jigglypuff Tech KD (D) KD (U)
Peach Tech KD (D) KD (U)

​

Tech Animations

This sections contains GIFs of the possible tech animations:

  1. The passive animation (“In Place”)
  2. The passivestandf animation (“Roll Forward”)
  3. The passivestandb animation (“Roll Backward”)

I chose not to create GIFs for missed tech, since (as far as I’m aware), every character has the same distinctive “Green Flash” on missed tech.

​

Character In Place Forward Back
Fox passive standf standb
Falco passive standf standb
Marth passive standf standb
Sheik passive standf standb
Captain Falcon passive standf standb
Jigglypuff passive standf standb
Peach passive standf standb

​

Knockdown (Down) Animations

This section has animations of options out of downwaitd, where the character is facing down. Out of this state there are four options:

  1. The downattackd animation (“Getup attack”)
  2. The downstandd animation (Normal getup, or “In Place”)
  3. The downforwardd animation (“Roll forward”)
  4. The downbackd animation (“Roll backward”)

​

Character Attack In Place Forward Back
Fox attack stand forward back
Falco attack stand forward back
Marth attack stand forward back
Sheik attack stand forward back
Captain Falcon attack stand forward back
Jigglypuff attack stand forward back
Peach attack stand forward back

​

Knockdown (Up) Animations

This section has animations of options out of downwaitu, where the character is facing up. Out of this state there are four options:

  1. The downattacku animation (“Getup attack”)
  2. The downstandu animation (Normal getup, or “In place”)
  3. The downforwardu animation (“Roll forward”)
  4. The downbacku animation (“Roll backward”)

​

Character Attack In Place Forward Back
Fox attack stand forward back
Falco attack stand forward back
Marth attack stand forward back
Sheik attack stand forward back
Captain Falcon attack stand forward back
Jigglypuff attack stand forward back
Peach attack stand forward back

Notes

  1. I’m not sure if gfycat uses lossy compression but if anyone wants to get the collection directly, contact me (compressed ~150 MB). I can also create different combinations for the side by side animations, different speeds, etc… on request.
  2. The single animation GIFs contain one frame before the animation starts (of tumble or knockdown) and one frame of wait after the animation ends. The side-by-side animation GIFs contain one frame before the animation starts, and the first 19 frames of the animations.
