Armondrew: The Start At the VS Screen seemed like a very cool detail,The Bounces although Where a bit dull.The VS image and Name Text seem pixelated for a reason, would've suggest to use normal text.

But right in the animation, When The Character stops time went great and everything,But just when trashbag's kick is going by doesn't have an ease on the tween or any effect that that slows him down.Lip sync in my opinion You did a nice job there. at the end when Your character stopped time and hits trashbag you could've moved trashbag a bit, EVEN if it stopped time characters should move a bit when hit but that's in my perspective. Keep Improving Armon I know you can do alot better next time fam I believe in you :)

Trashbag: The Start of the animation was smooth,Great Rigging animation.The only thing i didn't like about the fight was when armon was on the ground and just dashed from the back? was weird for a moment idk even tho it was smooth asf doe.

My Vote Goes for Trashbag due to longer battle,Smooth Animation and rigging.

I Hope you two Had fun With your MBR

Lowly Scums Like you cannot surpass My Stand Power.

Not ready for MBR

As for both parts (don't feel like scrolling through the individual frames as I'm on my phone), I think both of you guys did decently. Not perfect, but alright. Really, I think it's evident that Trashbag took this for a variety of reasons.

Armondew:
+For starters, I think the idea was sound for using the MUDA rush as the basis of your 1v1. It's minimalistic, but easy to follow.
+Probably your best animation thus far from what I've seen of you.
+LOL. That trashcan.
-On that note, I felt like I was watching an MBR version of Maniac's Jotaro vs. Yu. Not that inspiration is bad, none at all, but if that's all you have to provide for the MBR, then that's pretty bad. Provide some bit of variety in your set up and combos.
-The fade to black took 9 seconds to get out in the beginning of your video. That's way too long for what really amounts to the 10 second minimum. Felt like a cheap way to meet the time requirement.
-The audio transition from DIO's line "Za Warudo" to the Time Stop sound effect and visual cue was a little sloppy in execuetion. The pause really took me a back from the experience of watching it.
-Not sure how I feel about that kick tween when it goes to the Time Stop effect. Looks a bit awkward. Might have done better using a circle mask that truncated the saturation, then made it so that the character would slow to a halt extremely quickly once that mask enlarged to a point where it met him.

Trashbag:
+Like what you did in showing off the scenery first and establishing setting before jumping in the meat. A lot of people tend to just jump in fighting off the bat, and this was a nice little mood change.
+Your choreo, while nothing too special, was solid. I liked the energy blasts and the rock cracking business paired with the camera tricks you employed with the black solid. (It's just as simple as using black bars to close in on a point of reference which makes all the difference sometimes compared to your opponent)
+That music and sound was dope and paired wonderfully with the scene.
+Decent rigging.
+Dialogue choice, while cheesy, earned you a nice chuckle from me because I have a shitty sense of humor. lol
-Wasn't too fond of those two tweens where Armondew laying on the ground slid, knocked him over, then elbowed him on the rock. Felt a pretty lazy breakaway for what was mostly alright combat.
-Those "Hit" static faces for most of the part was kind of weird. I guess that's consistency, but them having the same expression throughout the entire fight was off. You already showcased your rigging skills, I would have liked some facial rigging during the fight. Add that extra dimension.

Overall, Armondew, I think yours was decent and will give it a 4/10. It just felt uninspired to me and you could have done so much more.

Trashbag, my real problems with you was just some lack of detail here and there, with occassional lack of consistency when paired with rigging and good combat choreography. I'd give yours, when compared to Armondew, a solid 8/10. Really, both of you are improving at a great rate, so just strive on getting even better because I expect great things.
