I actually like it more...

This thing is supposed to be really fast.
Shouldn't the sprite, then, depict it flying forwards, claw raised, ready to kick some ass?

Last time I checked not all fast Pokemon have a fast looking sprite. Mewtwo, Lugia, Miltank, Purugly, and Tentacruel are just some examples. Even if you don't find 100 base speed to be that fast you still probably can't tell that Miltank/Tentecruel have that high of a base speed just by looks.
Weavile doesn't look as fast as a flying rock bird named Aerodactyl, but he's almost as fast as it gets.
multiple pokemon don't look fast from their sprite.

I mean, but it can't hurt.
We want to make this thing look fast, right? So why don't we make it look really fast?
I'm just saying, we should go for it.

This originally started out as a joke pose with me mixing and repositioning the scythe types from both poses following the original idea of the first pose and it came out a hell of a lot better than I thought. I altered the shading on the head a bit.
Fast enough for you guys?
Maybe you should fix the bottom claws position... it looks like its dancing xD
That's sorta the point. I don't know how to convey movement any better than that with rigid blades. ;p

The ballet pose doesn't do it for me. Maybe I have too many preconceived ideas of this as a swift, dangerous attacker. I just can't picture this moving like a dancer. It also kinda looks like it is "tip toe-ing".
I do like the top limbs though. This is the first pose we've seen that has the "arms" in a lower position, and I think it looks good. Perhaps you could combine them with different lower limb positions.

I CAN DANCE ALL DAY >:B
I really like this pose. It's very quirky.
Is that a trick question? I'm a little surprised that people would believe your latest rendition being slow when the creature at hand is nothing more but a formation of loosely connected rocks with gemstones in certain places. I personally like your dancing sprite, it shows a lot of life and portrays a fleetly fighter in my eyes. Those connector rock gives it the appearances of having limbs, thought I have to ask, is it's left leg being crossed over it's right leg?
Actually, I see it more as a ninja crouched and ready to attack. I like the pose a lot for that reason. It looks like it's off balance, ready to explode into motion at any time. Good job.
Wyverii, I really like everything in this new sprite apart from the bottom claw, the one that makes it look like it's on its tiptoes. Right now it looks like it's human shaped, which I don't think suits this pokemon. Apart from that, I think it's the best sprite so far.
EDIT: I've had an idea that might make it not look quite so much as if it is balancing on it's leg. Does Shoddy have those little circle shadows underneath the sprites? If not, then we need something else to distance it from the ground.

Made corrections to the head and limbs to make them look more filled and pointed. Also made the shiny version.
Wyverii's new sprite looks very wha-chhh, yes. Like a ninja, indeed. ;]
I love Wyverii's new sprite. It looks lithe and agile, poised like a ballet dancer, ready to strike like a mantis.
SO I am back for CAP5 with my hopefully no longer fail spriting:
Not entirely happy with the outline coloring on its left (our right) claws, will probably fix that at some point later.

Made a couple minor changes.
Very good... could you try making it a bit bulkier looking? I'm not sure if that would help but I want to see what it would look like.

Okay, I can try. Exactly what needs to be bulkier?
The bottom left arm looks a little too thin also the head could be a little fatter.
Gotcha. I'll work on that now.
I like the head as it is now.. but the arm could be a little thicker.
And I love Wyverii's new pose.
