Varieties of Animation

As the hardcore gamer may know, The decennial release of Tekken Tag 2 occured this month. My brother is a big fan of the series since 1997 and I play with him as a new release comes out as per the "bro-time". The tag titles being a subsidiary to the series, it acts as a megamix for prior games that are first released as arcade cabinets before they are ported to home game consoles. The best thing about these home ports, and the topic of this post, is that as gamers win enough rounds they are rewarded with a short cinematic movie relating to the character they choose to play as their avatar, since there are over 40 playable characters then there are over 40 movies. In the past these movies would build upon the same graphics and art direction as the rest of the game however in the newly released Tekken Tag 2 there are a few movies that have their very own, specific art direction and unique animation style. Take a look:

Just the sort of thing I've been wanting to see! The movies are distinct enough in their own style and methods that it gives me the opportunity to think about how to do my own animation.
