What they really mean to say is that the choreography was better, which it absolutely was. And the choreography is never ever going to be as good as it was, because there is nobody on this planet who can choreograph the way Monty did. I mean personally I think there is a difference between illogical "teleports" and choreography, yes the latter is an issue, and yes it will always be bad, but a character cycling between ready poses having a hole in said actions is still "animation" issues no? A still image is not "animation", there are a steady number of images required to merely be "animation", and that I still feel by itself was lacking in V4 compared to the previous 3, so when I say Animation in V4 was worse I mean that conceptually, sure the overall graphics are better and more detailed but moment to moment they seemed to make a ton of mistakes outside plain old battle choreography.
