Launching hit Animation — Description

Originally I wasn’t planning to let her get launched at all - she’s extremely heavy, and realistically only a handful of characters should even be able to pop her off the ground with a strike. But it felt way too boring without it, so I went ahead and added the option anyway. Even so, you still can’t launch her as high as most of the other fighters.
This has to be the animation of a genuinely brutal upward hit - the kind of blow it would actually take to launch a carcass this heavy. Her belly gets violently crushed inward right at the point of impact from below, then bulges massively upward from the internal pressure before snapping back elastically, showing just how springy and resilient it is.
Stunned and disoriented, Maria flies downward, desperately clutching her heavy gut as it drags her down like dead weight.
