You have poses, spacing and easing down pat, so the next thing you can improve is flow. At times, you ease movements to a complete stop when instead you could keep some momentum. One example is when a character raised their knees to their chest and crouched (stopping completely) before taking off in flight.
No flow ("|" = frame, "-" = spacing):
|----------|--------|------|----|---|--|-|--|---|-----|-------|
See how it stops in the middle? The following example has some flow:
|----------|--------|------|----|---|---|----|------|----------|
Notice how while it still slows down, it doesn't stop completely. A run has 100% flow, a landing might have 50% flow and a character standing has 0% flow (since they stop completely). It's a balance of both easing and flow in lots of cases.
Mitch's tutorial covers this well in chapter 2.3.
It can be a hard concept to grasp at first, but when it clicks you'll see a huge improvement. Anyway, your animation was pretty entertaining. Nice one man. :)
