EarthSmash blinding me

[MeskenasBoii]

The Particles when it is being charged distract me. Maybe you can lower it and shrink it down to 1 block where it would face my feet?

What practicality would this hold when it comes to just being a nuisance rather than a performance issue?

So you're not blinded, aka distracted, aka. shot?

It's the same as any other charge up for 3 out of the 4 elements so I don't see what's the problem. It's even less than what Fire's charge-up particles are, so I don't see the issue.

I don't see this as a major problem unless you're charging it way after it's ready to be released.
I mean, every element has to deal with that but noone complains because they usually don't have the charge held beyond.

Maybe it is not that of a problem, but let's admit - it looks odd, doesn't it? Maybe they could match the color of the surfaces from where it is charged, such as to dirt particles. Like EarthGrab, maybe the particles could swirl on the ground around you? In a wider circle such as 4x4 (only the edges, not as a whole). At least I could pick it up from "edge of my eye", but no so that it blinds me.

The particles of earthsmash aren't distracting nor that annoying. As to the earthgrab thing, I think that all earth moves should have a better animation. Maybe like if I used RaiseEarth there would be a cloud of dust/dirt at the base of it (small of course).
