Got it. Pausing when stick is speeding up, f*cks your animations flow. Too lazy to fix that right now tho. Thanks man!
(Also, when he steps the first time his leg doesn't go all the way in front of him, which makes him look like hes sliding)
Beginners, post your Pivot animations here.

Basically any animation is good enough to post ( as long as it's more than 2 frames long C: )
Jumping is still really hard to do even for me. This doesn't look right because you're having trouble with easing and physics. I suggest you try some more simple animations, like basic ones: walking, running, punching etc. When you're done with one, post it here and we'll give you detailed CnC.

Uh.. So yeah, could anybody crit those other animations I did? Forgive me if someone did and I missed it, but I haven't found crit so far.
More importantly, this one. But the others too!

Addzable, I like your animations! However, I would like to see you practice more basic animations like walking and running (if you haven't already did that). If you're having trouble with anything in that area visit our Pivot Tutorials Thread. Good job and happy animating! Post here as soon as possible!

Ah, thank you Radon. I actually did post those, a few pages back. However they, just like the one above, are running at the wrong frames per second. I followed the tutorial on how to fix that, but it didn't work. They play at perfect speed in windows media player, but when playing online or on windows fax viewer, they slow down to about 10 fps. They should be about 14. If ANYONE knows how to fix that, I will worship you.
Quote from AddzableHello everyone! I'm going to post my first three animations up here. I'm following the tutorial comiplation posted up by Zed, so these are probably all things you've seen before, as well as probably being worse than the previous ones. Please, do critique my animations as I'd really like to know where I can improve.
Also, I've noticed that, for some reason, when I save the animations as .gifs they slow down considerably. I'm not sure how to fix this, I HAVE tried fiddling with the "Save as gif" settings, but have had no positive results so far, only making it slower. If anyone know's what's going on, I'd really appreciate some help with that as well.
One: Learning Easing with a ball.
Two: Learning walking with my custom stick (Should loop)
Three: Learning running with my custom stick (Should loop)

Back to basics, I downloaded Pivot as I used Stykz before :/ Not that easy, colors are so hard in Pivot !

Looks nice; You should try getting a new stick tho, this one looks a bit awkward. Perhaps give him feet and fatter legs? Idk.
Also, you should look up tutorials on easing and spacing. That'd probably help :)

I know everything about those, just go back pages 3394-5... My Stykz just friggin crashed and doesn't answer anymore...
THIS is what I can do... But I find Pivot so weird and idk, EMPTY...
Look, this is my skill :
See, I know easing and all.
EDIT : 34 000th post is all mine, MUaHAHAHA !

That's great! It's just a bit shaky when he jumps. :D

You should master basics first, before moving to full body. I mean !master! not learn. Or you could just roll with it. I don't care... just giving you advice.
And yeah, girls are always good.
You kick ass with colors, but basics, dem basics.

I really like the heavy spacing on the lightsaber. Especially on the first couple of movements. With the trail and everything it is exactly how a quick movement should be. The rest seemed a bit stiff - I think it would be better if he'd stepped forwards and back again - but don't let me distract you from how absolutely perfect the lightsaber swings are. Seriously, do more like that. Some people get to be "expert"s on DarkDemon by doing nothing but that kind of movement.
