There's so much going on it's hard to cc it all without missing something. The guy wiggling his leg around at the start is uneased. So are the people doing the crazy shaky stuff with their hands. I think they'd be better with smoother and better defined movements so people can see what's going on. The foot placement's off on the running guy upstairs. It's sometimes hard to tell how people are moving like the guy on the stairs for instance. The person who drops down from above to below needs to follow through that movement more. I think you've managed well considering how many things are moving at once, now just try watching each man individually and editing him to make him perfect.

I thought you said you were gonna work on running O.o....
The fade effect isn't gonna get you anywhere lol...
I started out using that effect to lol

Also, those two guys who opened the door, the one on the right made me laugh so hard...
It's like he ran to the pillar, stopped, and ran back for a stick I guess....

haha thanks teriya!
but it really really just looks terrible. look at my signature! its pretty good, its a bit stiff but not bad for a beginner. annnnnd then the animation i posted has like, no easing. and whats worse is its near impossible to change it because then I have to redo EVERYONE elses moves as well. And that is just really really tough. I think i better start over or do a more epic one-on-one fight :/

@Mikester, you don't. not as far as I know of. You have to get the guy to post a download link, and unless you can get hold of him, your not going to get them. and those spike thingys? dude seriously?
get Actual Transparency Window, then USE it, get a picture on the net of a "projectile" you want in Pivot, then TRACE IT.

if you do not know how to make sticks, I don't know how to help :/

SERIOUSLY! STOP ASKING HERE!
READ. THE. FRIGGIN. THREADS!!! At least LOOOK a little before you ask my goodness!

THIS IS HOW TO POST YOUR ANIMATIONS DAMNIT!
My GOD! You post your animations here, NOT YOUR QUESTIONS! If you have a question LOOK AT GENERAL HELP! Or just LOOK AROUND THE FORUMS! it. is. not. hard. I looked around, and I found it! cripes.

@teriya, its good, but he hangs in the air just a bit too long. The longest amount of time a human (without equipment or wings) can stay in the air is just below a second. So keep him in the air for max 2 frames. One when he slows down to one pixel, and the other when he starts dropping at one pixel. then just speed in up. and your curve is a bit weird. He like jumps forward then falls straight down. have him go in an arc, so jumps forward, and lands far in front. not straight down. sorry that was a crappy explanation do you get what I mean?

I'm not denying your CC, but he's not exactly human... Stk's can stay in the air for hours if anything :D
Besides that yeah, about what you said about him jumping forward then falling straight down, Didn't notice that until you mentioned it lol..
Yeah dude I should've made him go in an arc instead of falling straight down, and now that I think about it, It does look odd lol....
I WOULD fix it, but everytime I try fixing my animations, they always mess up -.-"
I appreciate your CC though, thanks dude :D
