Unit 1 of 2

I did the two Oz suits at the same time because 8 solid colors is a little hard to do, especially with 4 existing colors to work around for the full set of 12. I thought about changing the flame color, I did, and I decided it was not worth doing.

Despite their near-identical designs, the sprites for the two Oz suits are actually quite lovingly distinct from each other. Even though they have some similar moves (jab, kick) there are nice subtle differences in how they're executed and how they're *animated* and I have the utmost respect for that.

In Endless Duel, this one is piloted by Lady Une. Took me a little by surprise the first time, in particular because the game does swap out pilots depending on who's fighting who (for example, Heero and Trowa exchange suits under some circumstances) and there are others, but I guess they didn't want to re-use Heero for 3 suits right on the character select screen, so Trowa didn't have to use this one.

ANYWAY
I was really dreading the complexity of this animation... and then I quickly discovered it is a super simple one. Such a relief.
