I think it is very good. I'm surprised by the ratings of some. It's clean and nothing is missing. The spear is very well edited.
2 things I would have done diferently:
- In the second pic, I would have chosen diferent sprites. I actually don't feel that Kano is really pulling the spear toward him. Scorpion sprite that you selected for being pulled don't seem to fit. He could have being pulled toward kano witout being neceseraly levitated.
- The third pic, I would have use a lot less blood. Well this is a personal preference but I honestly prefer more realistic drops of blood than gallons.
I know that it takes the MKish a little away, but like I said, it is a personal taste of mine.
Other than that it is well executed and original. Those kinds of counters would have being welcome in a MK game.
