Watching the pre-pre-pre alpha build and what Iga said.
What do you think Miriams running animation should be?
I prefer personaly what i saw at the alpha build.
But when Iga said to put in more of a jog into it (like all his previous castlevania games) i kinda grindge a bit since a jog is by nature a fine animation I cant help that it kinda looks akward on female characters.
What would you go for.

Miriam is not a well-trained soldier like Belmonts or Shanoa, more of an agile type IMO. So I'd like to keep it girlish.

LOL this poll isn't bias at all!
I will defer to Igas judgement. He has done this enough times with both genders to know what works. That video was not alpha. It was more of a proof of concept. The animation was obviously temp.

i think a mix would be best, look at Shanoas jog in OoE, it still has that fist pumping determined jog thats his hallmark
most male jogs in cv tend to stand straighter and have their hands stay at or below their pecs, which gives a more power based determind jog (just look at R(phlegm)eechters, Simons, or Trevors steam train walk, and Jonathan does this but brings his arms up a bit further), where the female jogs lean forward more and bring their hands up to their neck or face, giving them a speedier and more agile stride (Shanoa, Charlotte, and Maria does this even though her arms only make it to midchest in RoB/DXC)
Alucard and Juste are more of a mix of the two, Alutrain actually leans far forward at the start to give the illusion of a burst of speed but then levels out into a leaning forward train walk, and Juste brings his arms all the way up to his face but doesnt lean forward nearly as much
so there is a good variety to the simple jog animation, i am however hoping they leave in a halfstick walk animation just so i can stroll through the castle like a badass >P

I think a mix of both. But hey, think about it. In the early levels, she will be a little clumsy, with unnecessary movements, maybe scared of the things she's seeing. But, little by little (while she's being leveled up) she starts to act more like a soldier, not scared of things, with more trained-lilke movements and all. We should see slightly differences per 5 (or 10) levels, but in the end, if one could compare, he would see two different Miriam

I think that's a false dichotomy, there's more than two kinds of run, so I voted for the third option.

Um. Girls don't jog? The alpha version wasn't bad because it's not the manly jog animation. It's bad because it looks very stiff and unnatural. No one stiffly speed walks. You walk, you jog, you run, you don't speed walk...
It needs to be changed unless their goal is to mimic the animation style of the original castlevanias which would be outdated for this Igavania style experience.
Everyone JOGS people and a jog will look more elegant looking animation than a quick walk where her arms stay awkwardly low

This an oddly constructed poll and an odd topic. Mannerisms of running aren't heavily gendered in real life, that's something I only really see in fiction and usually only done for the sake of awkward cuteness or some other such silliness. Just let her run like a regular person and not waifu bait.

Yeah Shanoa has a great sprite especially her double jump animation. Still, no castlevania sprite work tops SOTN. The amount of sprite work in that is astonishing..
