COMBINED Dance of Tomoe and Ashina Guard Stance

🎮 **My first passion project** - a simple but passionate mod creation!

✨ Module Features

I made **4 key adjustments** based on my favorite action mod **Ba's Dance**:

🎯 Animation optimization

  • **Standby and movement animations restored to original** - The wolf normally holds the sword in his right hand instead of his left hand
  • **Replaced uncoordinated Ichimonji animation** - More natural when parrying enemy thrust attacks

⚔️ Combat enhancement

  • **Increase parry frames**:
  • Thrusting attack (1 slash)
  • Crouching thrust attack (1 slash)
  • Basic attack 1, basic attack 2 (2 slashes)
  • Running thrust attack (2 slashes)
  • Reflect thrust attack (2 slashes)
💫 These adjustments are mainly to improve the immersion when using action groups. Although the game is slightly simpler, the experience is better!

🛡️Defensive stance

  • **Replaced the original parry animation with Ashina's defensive stance animation**

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
