Unused Animations#

Some characters have unused animations of moves that are unimplemented.

Alex#

BrawlerAlexUnusedPummel.gif BrawlerAlexUnusedShotPut.gif

Alex has unused animations for two unimplemented attacks: a pummel and a "Shot Put". Oddly, this means Alex is the only playable character that lacks a pummel in the game.

Glen#

Glen has a unused animation of what seems be him strumming his guitar during a jump, even comes with a projectile sprites. Would have probably been an early version of Dark Rainbow or could have been a separate move altogether.

Slick#

Slick has an unused pummel attack.

Provie#

Provie has a... vomiting animation? Could have been an alternate taunt of some kind.

Mike#

Mike has an unused animation, one of which has him running gleefully. It's unknown what it would have been used for, but it looks unfinished.

Oddities#

Dude, where's half of your hair AND your right glove?

When Paul is carrying a two-handed item (such as the milk bottle), the top half of his sprite is missing. This also applies to his walking and swinging animations. While some characters have half of their carry sprites halved for consistency, some characters have extra details for these sprites.
