Crash Bandicoot: New and improved (well, not so new)

HyperSonic gave me permission to improve him (Cristian Cisternas is gone anyway) so here he is. Here's some things I'm going to change:
1. Lack of Aku Aku. I'm going to make an animation of Aku Aku so programmers can edit the animations so Aku Aku follows him.
2. Idle? Should I change it so he blinks now and then? And I'm going to put some waiting animations in.
3. Run. Instead of his original run/walk he's going to have an actual run, being quite fast.
4. Taunt? Not really a Taunt is it?
5. Some of the smashes. They're all crystals and there could probably be some better ideas.
6. Grab and Back Throw. There's going to be a minor edit on the grab and I might change the back throw so he reverses in his kart instead.
7. Final Smash and Kirby Final Smash attack. He's going to be a Final form, like he was in the old games. He still might be invincible, but his moves wouldn't be as strong to balance it out.
And there are some little other things to change too, but I've already made a bit of a list here.

The Up Special should be him flying with the Jet Pack instead.

That entrance is one of the worst I've ever seen. He doesn't move when he goes down, and where the fuck does the jetpack disappear to?

I could change that then.

I would like to understand Crash's up special.
Is he supposed to jump from a spring box like Crash's games?

so his up special is jumping?
the propellor pack from crash 4 wrath o cortex or the jet pack would be better 4 this

It's his Rocket Jump from N-Tranced. A spring could be used somewhere but it'd be copying Sonic if it was his up special.

ROCKET Jumping. Actually, if you could find propeller pack sprites I could use them in his up aireal.
And I have some ideas for Aireals.
Neutral: Does a spin on his jetpack.
Up: Hits upward with his his propeller from his propeller pack.
Forward: Rides forward on his Hoverbike.
Back: Shoots a small projectile from Bat and gun?

This is the worst thing I've ever seen
Stop ruining everyones' childhoods, goddammit.

Crash could spin in midair for 5 seconds if u played N-tranced u'd know hat so the Jetpack in that would be useless.

Yeah, I edited that so it floats in mid-air.
And should I put the poll up now?

some more motions could be added to the bazooka sprite

bandiboy123 wrote:

Like?

like crash brings the bazooka up to his face and shoots like in Crash Bandicoot 3. and smoke should come out from the back

That and the fact that he doesn't even take out the gun, and not to mention the effects are cheap.

UPDATE:
I've gotten rid of most white or green in the old animations.
Put up a Kirby hat.
Put up Pummel.
Put up Roll.
Put up Stock.
Put up Final Form Win & Lose.
I could change the Bazooka, use the one from this sheet and maybe recolour it:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/gameboy_advance/crashfusion/sheet/25954

And when Crash fall off the bat, Could be his Knockback.

Maybe, though I already have a knockback.
I'm nearly done on the Burnt Damage animation (I just have to animate it).

I'd make spin his Up Special.

But no offense the knockback off of the Bat looks better.

Ganonthegreat wrote:

Why? It fits better as a down, there's better ideas and the only thing it can do in air is to make Crash fall slower.

I guess your right. So how's the Bazooka sprite coming along?

bandiboy123 wrote:

I haven't started it yet, it was a sugestion that I Might do.
Maybe I could change the Knockback from the polar bear to the bat Knockback.

Spin should be the neutral specail, bazooka should be down.
