I don't understand how this hasn't gotten more replies. It's a great example of a good, effective game animation that reads well, has punch and is as interesting the 100th time as it was the 1st(I know because I've been starting at this for 5 minutes now). This truly stands out from the majority of animations shown here at pixeljoint which are heavy in secondary motions like hair blowing, clothing rippling, body jiggling, etc and, but are always completely lacking in the primary motion that the animation is supposed to be about.
Please keep posting these animations.

Looks great as usual, but you could have at least cleaned up that rotated sword.

I've used rotation tools a fair number of times myself...
Awesome slash combo.
