Give each character individual parry animations

[Emily Vasquez]

Thinking about how the animations are for doing a parry are all similar (the character ducking/being afraid), and how the game is still in beta, I think it'd be good in the future for each character to have their own stylistic parry animation. Characters like Lash or Abrams wouldn't be fearful when trying to go for a parry. For some examples, I feel Lash would go for a Double Arm Block akin to a boxers block stance if he went for a parry while Abrams goes for a chest bump for his. Going for flourish/different parries based on each characte you play would add way more expression/flavor to them rather than just re-using the same animation for each one.

Have you ever actually seen more than 1 character parry? They all already have unique Parry animations. Seven's Animation is particularly meme-able.

I need to go back and look at them since a lot of them to me from vague memory came off as the same one.

EDIT: Yeah Abrams def has a special parry animation, as well as Haze and Vindicta, though most of them seem to be very similar to one another. I'd still like to see something like that fit for Lash though atleast.

Heroes already have unique parry animations. The heroes that don't, use the fearful animation.
The "fearful" animation is the generic test dummy animation used as a placeholder.
