Unfortunate Mermaid wrote an in-depth tutorial of battle sounds, effects, transitions, et all over at Merlabs - ActivDoom put together a very useful tutorial on how to construct a battle using the various [components] where components is whatever you choose to supply there. Both have been quite helpful to stupidheads like myself who take a great time to absorb knowledge. xD Anyway - sounds like you've already got most of the answers you need -

I've found it pretty much impossible to change the ruka_tatie without getting a black shota outline. If Safin has a copy of ActivDoom's tutorial, take a look at it. Merlabs is right here, and has most of the info you need albeit in modular format. Some people learn best through modularity, others through linearity, and still others through exploring on their own or a mixture of all three. But the resources are there, should you need them.
