hey i just made this one, tell me wat you think, it was made on pivot 2, i think a fatter stickman like in pivot 3 would look better. but well....Image

Okay. 1. shrink it down plox.
2. Use easing
3. NEVER use the default stick. You can only use it if you are teh pwn at animating.
4. keep a foot planted at all times. when a motion is done, you can move the planted foot and make the other foot planted (exceptions are always there also, ie jumping, running etc.)

Try this: Move the back foot like he's walking. and punch at the same time. It won't loop, but It looks better. (I know I'm not as good as you and who am I to be CCing you but just try it k?)

Edit: If you're going to try and do the lean-back punch. Either 1. Roll his backfoot or 2. make his entire body bend back.
And just a suggestion, try and videotape your self doing what you want to animate. And copy your movements each frame onto piv. See what you get.

With the easing, your better than me. I'm pretty sure you're better than me overall though.

It's called a tut. And just telling me to go read a tut isn't going to help nub. Can you give me some actual criticism I can use?

It looks like it's just suddenly appearing, which would look freaky if you added that to an anim. Make it spray out, maybe? I like the blood though.
