Started on this about two months ago. Almost gave up on it because it was turning out to be a bigger animation than it was supposed to be, but here it is. Umm.... that's it I guess. Here's an ugly draft of how it started out for laughs http://www.fastswf.com/mUjBRRk
your combat feels like something that could actually happen and i quite like that the characters trade blows rather than the battle being one sided. the sound effects got a bit repetitive at times, but i still really liked it! it wasn't super effects heavy either so we could see the animation without having to try to look through the layers of pretty shiny things! keep it up! can't wait to see more!
Overall, nice. Way better than anything I could come up with. Your effects aren't over the top, either, which makes it easy on the eyes. The only nitpick I have is that you could use more variance in your facial expressions.
Well aren't you an old face to see around these parts. Your fighting style is very clean cut & dry, like it's less about combo-chaining like a lot of other, animators. [Including myself] The way blows are more traded instead of missing a swing into a SICK 45 FUCKING HIT COMBO is something I can really enjoy, and is quite refreshing! Good job man.
