Yep, I see a difference but not easy to see that 90 degrees x rotation.
I guess because it is only actually a partial amount of the whole?
Thought you were going to stretch the knight from what I understood, but
guess you meant break it apart and put back together instead. Think
you'd get a great look if you managed a scale y shrinkage before the
piece moves (like crouching before a jump) then increase scale y as it
moves up slightly and again a lessened scale y at the end. Then back to
normal.
Just a suggestion.
