Nial Hit Reaction Strip

Generated from: A single wide horizontal sprite strip image for a 2D arcade fighting game. ONE ROW of exactly 5 separate full-body figures of the SAME character in animation order from LEFT to RIGHT, each figure a clean SIDE VIEW facing RIGHT, each figure the same size and standing on the same invisible floor line, separated by wide empty background gaps. NO grid, NO panels, NO dividing lines, NO borders, NO frame numbers, NO text, NO watermark. CHARACTER (must be identical in every frame): NIAL, adult man, muscular, spiky crimson-red hair with long strands whipping back, thick red beard, black eye-patch over his left eye with the right eye visible, tan skin, orange-and-black tiger-stripe blouson jacket with a huge white fur collar worn open over a bare chest showing a black tiger-head tattoo, black leather belt, dark red trousers, heavy black boots, and a proportionate katana in his rear hand with a red-hot glowing blade. ANIMATION - TAKING A HIT, hit reaction: frame 1 struck hard in the chest with a white impact flash at the point of contact, frame 2 the head snapping back and the torso folding, frame 3 the body twisted back with one foot sliding backwards, frame 4 the arms flying loose, the sword arm dropping and the sword dangling, frame 5 a low stagger before recovering. The whole body reacts, feet stay attached to the legs, one coherent body per frame. STYLE: high quality 2D arcade fighting game sprite art, SNK Neo-Geo and Guilty Gear inspired quality bar, large ultra-detailed illustration with bold ink outlines, strong readable silhouette, dramatic rim light. BACKGROUND: flat uniform neutral mid gray, absolutely plain, no floor, no ground shadow, no cast shadow.
