What was the point of adding shorty if his moves are exactly the same as max?
All the "small" human females also share their animations. Why wouldn't there be a human male that shares animations.
Jadeen and Shey are larger human females and they also share the animations.
The Kerpali Lion and Tiger also same animations. The Minotaur and Rhino, the goats and the little pig, the kerpali feline females also have same animations. This is a way to make some more visual variations without having to add elaborate morphs and other options per character. Just see Shorty and Max like you see Maya, Milanna and all the other similar sized women.
