I know it didnt benifit in any way, but it was cool to see the characters back flip when u jumped backwards. Imo, i think its more natural for dbz characters to back flip, well, the good guys and Vegeta anyway. Dunno about Frieza or Buu lol, maybe Cell. This probibly isnt the most important topic of the month:laff:, but, could be a suggestion to put the back-flips back in, maybeo_oo_O I dunno how much animating it could take though.

I prefer the back flips. As you said, it looked more natural. This was actually one of the first things i noticed when 1.2 came out. It may only seem like something small and trivial, but always remember: Its the little things that count.

Yeah, nice suggestion :D it's actually something i didn't notice its loss from 1.1 to 1.2, but it was cool and I guess it won't make a real difference on the game's performance

Well, you can still jump backwards, it just doesn't animate the same.

I have to admit it looked damn impressive though.

I miss the flips too.

I didnt even notice that they were gone.. thanks alot. I think the team took them out so they could free up more animations. I heard them mention something about an animation limit.

plus the backflip animation would mess up often. The game looks polished as far as movement anims are concerned

Hehe such a small thing, those backflips, but they are great. I would like to have them back too. It does give you this extra 0,01% of DBZ-feeling.
