I'm patient.
Here's my first go without looking at any of that.

warning large amounts of balls (Click to Show)

now i'm going to actually read it, and then make another one to compare.
I appreciate all the help i can get. i'm thankful that at least, you're help instead of telling me that i wont amount to anything.

Great.

Of course I would help you. I would never tell anyone that they can never get better when they truly want to learn. I must warn and apologize to you in advance though that I am quite straightforward and blunt with my criticisms.

i can take it. it'll take a lot to actually hurt me, and what i need is some tough love anyway. People have been telling me that my animations have looked good, so it doesn't help me whatsoever, soon i wont be able to animate as much as i want, and i want to take advantage of the time i have to become better.
Anyhow, i'm going to add you to my contact list if you don't mind so i can message you my progress and get your opinion on things. After that, i'm afraid, i must sleep. it's 2 am and i've school tomorrow.

Well if we're ignoring sounds...

The jump at the end didn't have in of force, The punches did not seem to connect in of for the damage these guy's seem to be taking.

Also you have the smoothness level of eclair but better because you don't have really midgety legs

-are you saying the last punch throws the blue guy back too much ?
or that the punching arm needs to go further ? ;-;

-i take that as a compliment, thank you : D
i like short legs doe lol i might stop making tall ass sticks, u like the longer ones ?

#i was told that i need to practice with shapes other than circle(ball) shape
so i made this, please criticize

On that combo anim:

1. First punch didint really have much force.

2.EVERY punches did not really have force. but the sound effect made it look like it has force on those punches.

3. Resizing - NOOOOOOOO :(

4. The Jump - The jump didint really had much force. Make the jump ven more fluid. Too smooth anims are not really that good.

5. The Second Last Punch - When the guy punches him, his blue body just moved like that and then just reacted.

But I really like your combo anim it was good :)

On the Physics thing:

1. On the last jump the oval ball was floating. It should have spinned around for a sec before doing that fire blast.

2. Try add some more particles and smokes to the fire effect.

Well that was a good one too! Especially that fire effect! :D



Well thats all for you

:DDD

- Punches didnt have force... make it faster, add spacing mah bro.
- The fall looked really really unrealistic man, work on that
- At the last punch, the reaction was late

lol what ?
those punches dont have forces at all ? shoot me now
the first 3 punches were blocked that's why it looks a little weak but it obviously had some force
theres resizing i agree on that one
the jump didnt have force? *palm face*
so you want me to make the jump more fluid and less smooth that makes total sense
and yes thats what the blue guy did, he moved like that then reacted... is that bad ?

yah ik the oval shape was very bad. i was focusing more on the square.
and i just added the fire for fun :p at first i wanted to upload without fire but then my boredom got me creative

but please do me a favor ?
im not trying to be rude but im not sure if you should be criticizing other peoples animation when your latest animation looks like this

i agree that the fall looked shit ;-; ill work on that
i dont understand what do you mean the reaction was late ? the guy was flying backwards right after the punch ... please explain moar

and those 2 shapes
the square is ment to be a heavy hard thing
and the oval more of a light rubber ball
i know it was bad but i was focusing more on the square

I don't think one's criticism rights should depend on their skill level.

About the fall, I think what Ipman said would be more accurate. The fall was pretty unrealitic.

actually it does
if i cant animate a something with proper physics
how can teach others to animate with proper physics ?
i would most likely teach them wrong stuff

I'm pretty frikkin bad at animating and physics, but I could still see that there was something wrong with the jump.
I don't know man, but I believe that we don't have to know how to animate to see improvements that could be made in an animation.
Making these observations could also benefit the ones giving critique.

Although, I agree that it is better to get criticism from trained sempais with lots of experience.

oops, my mistake, the part where the green dude ducks and punches the body of the light blue guy twice, the reaction was abit late there, oh and also try adding some easing.. cause the part where the green guy jumps, really looked bad. and at the part where the green guy stepped back for the last punch, his leg resized lol
but yeah, just add easing, spacing and all that shit, then you'll be fine :>

hot damn son, you just owned TheLegendA!

- The walks need work lol
- The part where the blue guy spins, it doesnt seem right because it looked like he had no gravity.. but the reaction at that part was alright.
- after the black guy punches twice, he jumped, and i have no idea why... and plus, it looked weird
- the last kick had no gravity
- When the blue guy fell, it had no gravity.
- work on your easing breh.
