"People always wondered why the characters were so big," Goddard said. "That's because we wanted larger-sized characters to help put the focus on weapon-to-weapon clashing." In order to see the weapons clash onscreen, they needed to be big, which meant they needed to be wielded by even bigger warriors. "It was a technical feat to jump from 90 pixels tall to 120 pixels tall--and still run at 60 frames per second! Later on we realized at 24 megabits we were maxed out on space; we just couldn't add any more characters. That's why our dudes have a ton of moves, to make up for the fact there are only seven characters."
