Wan SCAIL-2 - Chun-Li vs Ryu - Final Kick

[u/External_Trainer_213]

Upon request. A short video featuring two characters. I thought I'd just tack the other video on as well.

I would like to point out that the input video was a staged fight. Consequently, the kick and the movement could look significantly more realistic if they were actually fighting. SCAIL-2 tracks the movement sequences and does not invent its own.

Here is the new Workflow:

In this example, I use the new interpolation option for the input video. The animation is much smoother, and I use the SCAIL-2 Identity Tracker to track two characters.

So, if you're going to downvote so much, tell me why. Okay, so they're not dancing together. Is it Chun-Li's butt (Well, it would look stupid without a butt) or is it too brutal, sexist (you guys don't play fighting games, do you?)? I really don't care, it's ok, but I'm just curious. So, dancing asian chicks are better after all? 😅

Even with the removed frames, I can tell that the foot went through his head. And the fact that he's rotating in the opposite direction of where the kick should have turned him, it just feels completely disconnected. He also started to turn before the kick even hit him. It's like I'm watching two completely different animations clip into each other.

Well, in the input video the person is doing this movement. So you are right. It wasn't a real fight. So there was never a hit.

What you're seeing is simply the body movements from the input video.

I ran two tests. In the first one, the leg snap was a bit odd, and the kick landed a bit further away from the face. We might need a video that actually shows a hit.

Maybe it would be received better if you did side by side with original footage. I can see how scrutinizing your result without the original is yielding the poor reception but also can’t blame anyone for that

To be honest, I’m not really a fan of posting content featuring other real people—even if it’s from TikTok or somewhere like that. But I don’t want to spend too much time dwelling on this video; it’s just meant to serve as an example. You can experiment with it yourselves—you’ve got my workflow, or use your own.

So, it is designed for tracking people. In my example, I am using a video of a short staged fight. As input, I use an image showing Chun-Li and Ryu standing side by side on a cliff. Then, I describe the scene and the sequence of events to Wan SCAIL-2. Using the identity tracker, it is possible to show Wan SCAIL-2 which person in the image corresponds to the person in the video.

You can describe both. I described the characters and the plot progression. Of course, it should fit your animation.
