Well i'm finally outta the chat thread where apperently I was super trolling........

Something I haven't finished..but probably will ^_^

I dislike this for the sole purpose the fact it looks like he's ****ing standing the entire time completely destroying the illusion of the teleport and therefor just making him seem stiff and ****ed up. I like the effect and camera work but work more on your stances

Right.
I'll...work...on that.
But hey, it's a little harsh to rate an animation on that but w/e.

You should've moved the horizon, it looks like the stick is just gliding.

I really don't think Zawmbee is that harsh. At least he doesn't eYell at them.

He doesn't yell and he's very realistic but he doesn't give leeway for beginners which is what makes him seem nastier. All are equal in the eyes of The Zawmbee.

Yes but when he slides the horizon doesn't move.

Needs more anticipation.

Nice effects, but yeah, the last few frames suck.

The ground isn't a stick, am I right ?

When i'm talking about the last few frames, I mean when he throws the trans' ball at the end.

And the ground isn't a stk, it just makes it seem slightly 3d if the guy's not standing on the line.

OK.

This animation is bad due to fact that you barely moved any joints in the jump, looked so lazy and unrealistic, atleast try to make it look like a leap rather than a side ways jump...
And as someone said before the jump had no lead up, there is no way he could do such a jump with the anticapation he had, it just looked stupid. Bend he's knee's down some more, then ease it. Add some damn force and reaction.

Something no one spotted but I felt was stupid is that when the camera shifted,"supposedly", he shifted but did the ground? I'm not sure if that was a camera shift or some gayasssupersayen slide action, and if it was, add some trails for effect.

Now, that combo was just awful. It didn't look as if he was punching nor kicking, more like he was trying to swat a fly. The movements were weak and choppy, but the spacing was weirdly nice. Practice some combos and fight moves, and work on heavier spacing (towards the end) it just looked rushed and it came off stiff and a bit choppy.

Haha, those effects were just lazy. It seems most of the times you were meerly trying to hide the awful movements by adding some cheap effect. No dice.
Next time you want some effects remember these simple tips;
-Is this effect needed
-Is this the right effect to use, e.g shape, size etc.
-Am I doing these effects right?


And no, you were not. The starting effect that ball of light was pretty well done, i'll give you that. But those trails...where the **** did they go? Atleast add some particles and make them vanish slowly. Or a better way - fade them out, you should have faded out the lightning aswell, but nooooooooo, just make it vanish. No.

So, that's about it, work on movements, camera angles, reaction, power, physics, easing and effects.

I already told him about the gayasssupersayen slide action.
