Character battle stances and combat animations

Post by sticky-runes »

Apart from the hero, it looks like Akaghi, Jean, Flare and Rita are the only characters with a truly unique battle stance. All the other characters seem to be clones of one another, for example, all the spear users have the same stance, all the broadsword users, all the dart throwers, etc. Most characters have a unique animation for their physical attacks (for example, Hervey has the same stance as Charlemagne, but he strikes twice with his blade, Viki and Katarina have the same stance, but Viki sneezes while Kat performs two blows with her staff).

Has anyone noticed any other unique animations?

I don't remember Kate's animation, but is there anyone else who could imitate Mizuki sexy attacks?

Yeah, Karl, Ugetsu and Gau all do the punch punch kick combo for their standard attack.

Kate has the same stance as Lo Fong.

Mizuki and Wendell have the same stance, and in Tactics they are both classed as claw users. Obviously Wendell doesn't possess Mizuki's ninja skills, and Mizuki is the only non-sorcerer type to use the flashy teleport technique for her physical attacks.

Tal attacks normally, but then backflips back to his position.
