Advanced Movement Idea
From WorkCDN
Feel free to expand or comment on this idea,I do realize that this is very complex and very likely too much so for most games.
Notes:
1.Involves controlling individual parts of the character in a somewhat realistic fashion.
2.It is likely that it would not be feasable at least initially for large multiplayer games due to bandwidth and possible issues with syncronization between multiple views.
3.This system would require that commands be interruptable with smooth transitions.
4.Requires the use of 10-key numberpad(which may not be available on all computers).
5. Keys may change meaning depending on the keys they are combined with so multiple key detection is required.
6. May also be used to facilitate things besides fighting such as dancing.
7. Different parts may do different amounts of damage based on statistics and physics.
8. designed with 3D in mind, not sure how some of it would be done in 2D.
9. Does not require full implementation.
All Numbers are on the NumPad and are listed left to right and top to bottom.

8 = Head
4 = Left Arm/Punch
