Slide/Roll/Dash

I decided to group these three animations because they are all variations on the same theme, an abrupt movement for escaping or reaching something.

They all follow the same pattern, a very short or non-existent preparation (especially for player characters) a loop for the duration of the action and a recovery animation, usually with an overshoot.

Here's some other tutorials that I made that can help with this theme:

• Squash and Stretch

• Smoke (for the dust)

• Run

• Wall Slide/Kick
