>>27107288>i will screenshot that one moment when it's on his own legs despite knowing it does also spin in the model animationLet me guess, you're a smogon shitter who thinks showdown uses all the pokemon in battle animations.
Also as you can see here
>>27107322 >>27107405 this thing isn't based on a top only because this part is only a secondary flavor, the Pokémon is based on the capoeira martial art and it is pretty much done with these movements.
Still a retarded form of martial arts tho, not surprised it was introduced by the niggers along with twerking...
I agree that the prevalent spinning animation / sprite pose is still more iconic to Hitmontop after all the minigames and side game animations, its whole design isn't great and once it stands on its legs it looks even worse.
