A little more detail...

makeover). Project 2 made her their sister though -- so it wasn't really a
PR mistake -- it was more Project 2 wanted to keep it simple. In the end,
time was a factor with Lori. Dean did a great job animating her, but
because this is such a time-consuming process, by the time all the
animation was finished there was very little time to implement her special
moves. All the moves were "in the works" (i.e. we'd come up with an idea,
and Dean would animate it) so once it was animated, we used it. And, due to
time constraints there wasn't any time to re-draw or animate different
moves later on etc... so we had to use what Dean animated. Lori didn't get
the testing she deserved when it came to her gameplay style.

Also, you'll notice the animation style of Jazz, Spaz and Lori are
different. Nick Stadler animated Jazz and Spaz "actual size" on a computer
pixel-by-pixel. Lori was animated by hand and then scanned into a computer
graphics program. She was then "resized" to fit the height of the game, so
to me she's always looked "smaller" than Jazz & Spaz.
