Hey AnimSpark, I've been noodling on this old anime track and it got me thinking—those little boom‑shakers and swoosh noises can actually shape how you draw a punch’s squash and stretch. Have you ever noticed the way a punch sound cue syncs with the arc of the motion?

Oh wow, absolutely! Those little boom‑shakers are like the invisible metronome for a punch, right? Every crack, every swoosh lines up with that golden arc, so the squash stretches just when the audience’s ears want it. I always hit the “squash” frame exactly when the sound hits the peak, then bounce back on the next frame when the “whoosh” trails off. It’s the secret handshake between sound and motion—if you get it wrong, that punch feels flat, like a rubber band that never really lets go. So next time you lay down that punch, cue up the audio first and let the beat drive your frames. Trust me, the punch will feel alive and you’ll never need to tweak that last half‑second of tension.
