    1. 03 update:

    Attacks: The ground flash step animation replacer (keyblade attack ride) used to reset combo too quickly if you weren't spamming, now corrected.

    Voice lines now work properly on attacks and dodge. For the battle quotes mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/319 by Iven13

    Vanitas Edition

    5 files separated:

    Movements: Battle Stance, Battle Walk & Battle Run (Had to speed up the turning, direction switching animation for smoother gameplay) - may conflict with other animations which alters movement.

    Keyblade Air Dash: Has a hitbox

    Vanitas Dodge: Vanitas' teleport with dual form dodge

    Vanitas Block: Currently only does a frontal block, will update to 360 when possible - may conflict with other block replacers.

    Attacks: Incorporates some animations and particle effects from the Vanitas fights. His usable attack animations kit was quite limited, so I had to alter/extend some of his animations and mix it with others. Also borrowed particle effects from different sources, but kept it Vanitas themed (imo). See images for the abilities set up I used for the showcase video.

    Attacks Altered: Quick Slash, Flash Step, Radial Blaster, Normal Finisher, Last Charge, Aerial Dive, Falling Slash, Rising Spiral, Aerial Sweep, Payback Strike Counter Impact, Final Blow, Firaga

    Big thanks to Accel/Xydes2011, Aproydtix, Nozai & the OpenKH community for their help on this project.
