I find this fascinating. Like how animators stretch and distort body proportions to make the animations more fluid, it’s pretty much the same principle used in hand drawn animation. No wonder the animations are some of, if not the best in all of gaming. All the characters have dynamic movement and poses like in comic books. They all have their own unique running, jumping, shooting, and melee animations and that attention to detail should always be appreciated.
I wouldn't call it cursed. In motion, It really sells the animation as a result. Like, have you ever accidentally stopped a 2D cartoon on a smear frame?
on the bright side these stretches and squishes make the characters look like theyre actually jumping and landing unlike other games that makes the character go straight to a air animation. everything else makes it all look cartoony but i guess thats the style blizzard is trying to go for in this game
The fact that I don't notice this at full speed is amazing, they did an amazing job of making squash and stretch work. It's one of those things that you don't notice until it's gone, that makes the animation so much better.
I understand why they do these, it makes things look better and look more cartoony, but holy fuck that mcree hightlight was just overboard and the one where he draws

This is cursed knowledge that I now have to live with.

It's cause they still animate their characters unlike games like apex they use actual actors and models for motion stuff
I understand why they do these, it makes things look better and look more cartoony, but holy fuck that mcree hightlight was just overboard and the one where he draws
