MBR: Kayas vs Drew

My vote goes to Kayas.
Everything from the map, sounds, camming, and choreography was just perfect. You put a ton of work into this and it really shows.
I especially like that rotation you did around 2m40s.
Drew, you should really focus on making your animations less stiff and your posing since those are the general issues I've noticed with your animations for a while. You still need work, but you'll get there with the right amount of practice.

Great job both of you and thank you both so much for putting this much time into the MBR!

Spoiler

I'm killing both of you for using all those japanese voice clips btw.

Oh my gosh, two well-done animations.
This was hard for me to decide.

Kayas: Just a tidbit picking, I did see a few inconsistency though, it was extremely small details that were hard to notice by others if they don't have a keen eye for it. However, I have nothing more to say about it, it was well executed by today's standard, the same goes for Drew's.

Drew: Holy crap dude, you've improved the overall fight style and pacing, always found it to be a bit tad slow to my liking in the past but was still good nonetheless. Like I said in the previous comment for Kayas, extremely well executed. However, I know it's difficult to work with maps in whatever program you were using to create it but it barely compares to Kayas' overall map with more depth to the details and such. That was one of my big ones after I saw both of the animations, still a nice work nonetheless.

The dialogue, animation, idea, all of that was absolutely FANTASTIC to watch but just for the immersion overall that is extremely hard to pull off.
Don't get me wrong. If I could vote for both side, I'd do it with no doubt because both of the works is just that good and evenly matched.
I'd go more in details but kept forgetting that I had to make comment in order to vote. big rip pepehands

However, as much I had a hard time deciding and have to pick one person, I have to go with Kayas'.
Was a good fight both of ya. <3

Finally, some good fucking food. Vote goes to Kayas.

Drew:
By far your best work in my opinion. Your composition has improved a lot and there's clear potential if you focus on adjusting your weaknesses and expand on what you're already good at.

Kayas:
This whole animation feels like a blend of all that you've learned so far, you're clearly breaking new grounds and putting every technique you know to your advantage. With more animations to come you'll get more opportunities to figure out how to create a better synergy between 2D and 3D shots as well as convey depth and perspective much more seamlessly. Proud of you habibi.

Thank you both for taking time out of your busy lives to prepare such a grand opening for the new MBR system.

Because this is a debut MBR without the standard timeframe and challenge - it will be treated as we are both the same rank with a pool of 30 points.
The votes are 18-4 for myself and Drew respectively.
The calculations come off to giving:
+25 points for me (176 > 201 - ranked up to diamond)
-20 points for Drew (91 > 71)
Thank you for your votes and for making the debut of the new system a blast, and thank you @Drew for giving an extremely strong entry to start off the system. Locking and moving thread now while updating the profiles.

P.S. ty habibi
