How to set up animations for a fighting character

Is it that noticable though?

I’m aiming for my animation to have a super smashbros meleeIsh type of animation going. I’m pretty it doesn’t have any blending.

If I just do play animation it’ll work? What if I want to have collision with the fighter’s fist while it’s moving, - there would still be no need for an animationBP, right?
