Due Date: 25th December Theme: 7 second loop Sekka's Entry: Animation : http://www.fastswf.com/p4S2Yr0 Profile : http://maplemation.com/threads/sekkas-rad-profile.28666/ Notes : Thanks a bunch for the awesome MBR Shulkle, I truly enjoyed working on it! I know my piece isn't the best, but I am still fairly proud of it! Merry Christmas everyone! Shulkle Entry: Animation: https://a.cocaine.ninja/tbarfj.swf Profile: http://maplemation.com/threads/shulkle-mbr-profile.32593/ Notes: Was actually pretty painful to animate. Restarted about 4-5 times, accidentally resized in the middle of animating and had to remake the map, and wanted to try some different style of gif animating, but at least it was fun :). Hunter's Entry: N/A
Despite flipping out on the issues I dun goofed on, twas enjoyable, and I'm glad we had this MBR Sekka! Also u suk huntr I hope ur Fw keeps crashing.
First of all, Merry Christmas! This is my first time watching an MBR in a long time, so I'll make the best of my opinions between the animations and keep it as unbiased as possible! Sekka: Your animation was pretty clean! The flow of the animation felt just right. Although the sequencing of the fight was great, the way it ended was way too abrupt and felt like it was hurried. I wished that there was a little bit more creativity with how you would loop, but you ended up just looping it into an empty map. It left me in disappointment, but nonetheless, it is a still a loop and I applaud you for it. Shulkle: Your animation was clean as well! The movement of your animation felt more smooth in comparison to Sekka. Both characters had their fair share in participation within the fight and did not seem as one-sided as Sekka's, as the animation ends in her character blowing away your character. Which brings me to the next point, your animation's loop transition was perfect! You could not tell where the fight starts and it is continuous. My vote would have to go to Shulkle. His animation appealed to me with the content that it provided. The way the animation looped scored the deal for me. It was a great battle, good job both of you!
Oooooh!!! naaaz Sekka in an MBR :D Oki so lemme start c: Sekkaaaa: Its a great combo but I feel like it could've been a bit more smooth in the swings. Its sometimes hard to tell wether u swing with the scythe or the other dude is punching. Also the camera could've been more creative. Also awesome new SS :O no mech no more tho? xD Shuckle: ooh moosic. Perfect loop :OOO the swings look super smooth. also the motion blur in the movement where he dodged her scythe is a bit too much but on the other hand I think it was intended to indicate he was dodging her. it looks like it is off by 1 frame tho. (small nitpick not rly important now that I think of it xD still wanted tto point out I guess :P) also, the jump looked a bit weird of sekka löl. So overall: nice MBR ^^ Sekka: you should work on your camera work and smoothness of swings n shit xd Shuckle: I like it. nice creativity with the camera and movements. not much to improve to. u could try even more with the camera maybe? I'd love to see more of you ppl ^^ Im sorry Sekka, but this one I'll have to give to Shuckle xd keep improving guys!
Sekka, you didnt animate in a long time (from what i know atleast). So this is quite the unrust! The v-cam ain't too shabby. My biggest niptick would be the hit effect. They're too big and cover a large area taking away to concetration point. Your scythe had no weight lol, adding the weight will give you more frames to skew and make it overall smoother. Shulk is shulk, he's improving day by day. The animation was more "Loopish". The thing that didn't appeal to me, are those fucking blurs. Jesus christ, what's the point of a very slow not moving blur. Tell me. Even though Shulk's is way better technic-wise. Yet both of you failed in presenting the moves. They're too messy and hard to see. Both of you tried to effect the living shit out of it. Idk about the weight of Shulks phone dild- swords. But neither have any weight, and i'm damn fucking sure. A Ice short-sword has some of dem weight. Both animations were too fast, and executed a tad worse than i thought. Both of you most likely could do better. Lookin' at u "Im reeelee fellyn i7 weannebe boi", where's the old charisma of ur old shit :c Not voting.
Clicked for Aquila's profile pic, stayed for Aquila's profile pic. Voted for Shulkle caue I found the choreography more entertaining and the general quality of the movement. I thought the camera work was boring in it but eh, it's a pass. Good loops both of you though!
Merry Christmas guy both animations were really good, but i'm gonna have to go with shulkle for this one. the motion on his was really fluid and looped really well.
The flow and execution in each was near identical imo. Both of your ideas weren't too shabby at all, and you played them out pretty cleanly. Same goes for the choreography for the most part. While there wasn't much of anything to dislike about Sekka's part, it just seemed a tad more simple than Shulkle's. It seemed to me like there was more going on in Shulkle's anim, and I also gotta commend the guy for making it hard for me to tell where the loop is. Both of you did great, but it's little details like what Shulkle had going on that make it stand out a bit more. Shulkle gets my vote for this one, but keep it up, guys. And welcome back to animating again, Sekka
Blame Hunter, he sux n taught me how to do this. Anyways, Spoiler It's smaller, but it gets the job done I hope. Or I could attempt at a reupload: https://a.cocaine.ninja/ymsqia.swf (Btw, Bryant and Leenus told me I wasn't supposed to smoothen the bitmaps when exporting it, so I unsmoothed and fixed it") Maybe this? https://my.mixtape.moe/favilw.swf
It's a hard choice. An extremely tough one at that. Although Sekka's animation was smoother frame-wise Shulkle compensated simply for having a loop on screen. That was the most decisive factor for me. Looking more in-depth, both of you did excellent; both animations are top-notch quality. However, when it comes to the animation as a whole, Shulkle did outperform Sekka; more dodging, swing, etc. Simply put, Shulkle's animation had more going for it. Well done!
yooooo it's lit! a finished MBR is always great to see so good job to the both of you! I actually think that both of you guys did really great with your animations and i'm having a hard time choosing between the two.. I'm gonna hold my vote and think about it and probably vote tomorrow.
This is the best complete MBR match we've had in a while. A fresh breath of air for the holidays~ It's a SERIOUSLY tough decision, but I'm gonna have to give it to Shulkle, just cuz the back-and-forth combos and framing felt more gritty and viscerally engaging imo. On the other hand, I loved Sekka's dynamic use of space and abilities combined with fast-paced choreography. The sliding movement might have been a tad over-exagerrated, but otherwise, it's great to see you're animating again, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you can do in the future. Lovely match guys. Merry Christmas :D
It looks like both participants put a ton of work into their parts. Both of them are fun to watch. Sekka, as I said earlier, I'm no expert, but I'd just suggest paying more attention to your choice of effects and whether or not they really fit the purpose you select them for. Please keep animating more! I want to see more from you :D Shulkle's definitely loops more smoothly, and it looks like his was super planned out. That's really awesome! I had to vote for Shulkle because his loop was much neater.
The challenge was to create a loop.. i guess anyone can begin with an empty map and finish with an empty map and call it a "loop" i'm voting shulkle because his loop is so good that i couldn't tell where the animation starts without pressing right_mouse>rewind
