Is the landing here really weak, or is it just me?

It's between weak and reasonable, but to me it's pretty good. The animation itself is good, continue it man.

Edit: It just needs to be more frames in between his back kick and his stop/land. Say 3 or 4.

Weak isn't the word I'd use. Maybe try making him react to the landing..Like bending his knees or something like that.

You should continue it though, it looks really good.

Ray that is correct, not weak, but reaction.

I made him do another step, does this look better?
Edit: made the gif 7fps for easier notice

It's fucking weird, he jumps super far and instantly stops.

Edit: fix the distance and the kick stuff. Boring animation non the less.

Just maybe fix the foot placement.

He has too much momentum to suddenly stop like that... The step helped but still didn't fix it. Maybe do a roll or something?

Thanks for that roll idea!
It made me think of another way to do stuff on this animation.

That's loads better. I can't spot anything wrong with that.

I know you've changed the animation, but I'd definitely recommend an arcing motion when the stick an stops and steps back. With the way you had animated it, momentum went to the left, stopped, and then went to the right. If you arched the origin it would have changed the direction o the momentum instead of stopping it. Another thing that would have helped would have been to use slower easing when the momentum is stopping.

But that's just some advice if you try that sort of thing again. As I said, the current animation looks much better.
