Also BTW, the Biped is not a very good rig (they tell me). Good walk cycles have hip-sway that does not happen with a generic biped.

Oh wow, thanks. I... I completely missed that possibility XD I made a walk cycle right after I figured out the keyframes and still didn't catch that I could just move it by moving the hips and feet. Thanks!

And yeah, I was trying to avoid changing it to a biped for that reason. It seems like it would just add more problems and it would end up looking less natural anyways.
