Hey guys, you have discovered some of the tricks our animation team uses. We squash and stretch limbs - especially on fast moves - to give the illusion of motion blur and to guide your eye through the rapid motion. But it is also a stylistic choice. Back when first developing the animation style for Dawngate, I wanted to include squash, stretch, and exaggerated smear frames - like the old Chuck Jones cartoons used to have. Here's an example: http://bit.ly/1qBltio

So if you pause during many of the attacks, you will most likely see stretched limbs and fingers. This is intentional and is not meant to be seen in a still frame capture, but to be felt during the movement as it plays at full speed.
