How do you guys deal with the shadows when horizontally flipping forms? Is there a good way to do it quickly? I'm making a move that requires several horizontally flipped forms and it's driving me nuts how the shadows will go all over the place. It's taking more time to reposition the wrestlers than to splice all the frames together.
As far as I can tell, you have to do it frame by frame, although I've noticed that within preset sequences, it'll often take about the same amount of clicks to get them back into position, and a lot of the time you can just use the middle digit for most of it
So you can kind of get into a rhythm of like 1 2 3 4 5, next frame, 1 2 3 4 5, next frame, and so on

I've found that a lot of the time - not all the time - you can invert the FX numbers (and RX movement, if there is any) and be good. So if your FX is 48, when you H-flip it and the guy's all the way OVER THERE NOW, usually setting the FX to -48 will get him either right where he should be or at least in the ballpark.
I've seen some forms with some crazy F numbers, too - like a hundred plus. Those look crazy fucked up when you flip the form, but exactly inverting the number is usually really close if not dead on, in my experience. You do have to do it for every frame, but it is what it is.
Made a couple of Lip Lock variations for Lucia McKillian today.
First is a Feint Lip Lock into a Groin Kick:
Second is a "fake" Lip Lock grapple with the kiss frames duplicated a few times to recreate the submission loop. It was designed this way to set up her Sacrifice Armbreaker:
Dragons, Emus, and Wolves are all hearing impaired. Sounds about right.

Also really love the Northern Lights suplex flip into the head stomp 😲
As for the question of dealing with shadows when flipping the horizontal forms - It's awful 😭 So many ideas that I had were just kind of ruined by this. Even when I thought I lined up the shadows, something was still off. It's why I stopped doing short-armed lariat set-ups. The game requires you to horizontally flip the follow-up move. They don't force you to do that for moves following the back grapple ripcord position. So I could do like 3-4 ripcord moves in the time it took to make 1 short-armed lariat setup that didn't look misaligned.

Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it? At the end, when the move is broken, the defender goes from down on his face to standing. He doesn't stand up, it just warps.
