Its great that you're now using flash. I think you should have made the screen/window the normal size (not enlarged). As usual, your sense of movement and timing are top notch. The major thing that bothers me about this ani is that baraka is standing so far back-- it looks weird. I know you did this to make the blades hit the right places, but maybe you could have edited the sprites more instead. And your ani's, in general, have GREAT edits of sprites.
Another thing: I think that animators should try to avoid using cage and/or baraka, as they have been way overdone. This was mainly due to the fact that that is all that mkwarehouse use to have for complete sprite sets. Now we have MAME cheats to rip sprites, and the warehouse is filling up, so its the perfect time to move on and explore other characters
