Extra Tips

1. Don’t make the background just black, it could be black and white to give it more impact. But I feel like that’s linked to more magic/elemental/etc attacks, basically anything with light.
2. Don’t make the camera shake TOO much, it’s going to make things less visible.
   2.5. Make the V-cam the top layer if you don’t do this already.
3. This isn’t a necessity but a recommendation since the frames do look nicer that way. Try(your best) to make your frames like this.
4. When making the IFs(Impact Frames), the frame has to be… the impact as said in the name so don’t make the IF then make it more impactful afterward, unless it’s actually intended, like when it’s some sort of strong hit that takes time for the impact to be felt a few seconds after or something.

I feel that this tutorial leaves out other parts of impact frames.
-Impact frames should at least be 3 frames (to juice it up)
-impact frames don’t necessarily have to follow the positions of the characters. (take One Piece for example: during the fight between Aokiji and Garp, the impact frame was a dap, instead of a punch)

sorry I would include more but I’m too lazy. I’ll come back tomorrow!
