Like, in pixel co-ordinates. What I mean is, in the hero's attack frame, where are the weapon pics drawn in relation to the hero's sprite?

If you want to get techncial you can count the number of pixels on each little screen you design em in. If you did that you would take from the top of the hero sprite to the number of pixels tall that the weapon graphic is and there you go. Basically, it's about the middle of a hero sprite to the top. You can design your sprites to make em look cool and spiffy too if you draw em both right.

Weapon Graphic Placement on Heroes

The weapon graphic is aligned with the top of the hero graphic, it overlaps attack A by 8 pixels, and attack B by 4 pixels.

Note: The weapon graphic appears behind the hero graphic.

I think that there should be a 'preview with weapon graphic' feature for the hero sprite editor, simply because it's kind of tricky to envision those positions...

Just an idea.

Oh, and note that those are the alignments for the normal "Strike" animation. "Dash In" animations have no proper alignments, as the hero's position depends on the enemy he/she is attacking. Then again, if you could rig the enemies in the perfect spots, then you might be able to align "Dash In" animations, but it would take a lot of time and patience.
