Nice update. I like it.
1. To everyone who owns this effect. In this update, the relative positions of the blade and impact effect are different, so the anim made of previous version might not look right with this version if rotation is changed. I suggest keep the previous version before you're sure your anims are ok.
2. To MGC, I'm happy the impact effect is separated, so I can use it for other slash attacks. Just an idea, have you thought to make some color variations for the impact to expand the usage of it? Like blue, green, or red. With those, we can easily create some elemental slashes.
