This is my first ever speedanimation, as well as my first ever line tool animation.

Time taken: 14 mins (10 mins of animating, 4 of cleaning)
Frames: 30
FPS: 18

No, not at all. I think the sound quality is too high, but that would mean your PC is crap. Ha :0.
I didn't think I'd need a preloader for such a small animation?

The legs need to be more in comparison with the body. So enlarge the legs.

Errr.... Where is the overused anticipation? Also, how in god's name can you clean a STICK. Lmao.
Also, legs wobble like a rocking chair, and it looks like the stick is falling apart, most likely because you didnt have the snap fuction turned on.

...I don't honestly. He just swings his arm backwards, but he aint building up any power for me. Also his knee's bend but the body doesn't go down, never knew i'd ever say this but:

Learn the anatomy of a stickfigure.

Here's the anticipation of this animation
1.Arm goes back
2.Body bending, body goes back
3.Head goes back, just a lil bit
4.Arm goes forward great easing there
5.Body goes farward, easing
6.Head goes forward, massive easing (+ the squash effect was good)
7.Leg follow the body

That's it, I really feel the weight of the body, I feel the swing of the arm, well done I say !

I don't feel anything building up. I guess because of the intense shit anatomy.

Lixu, if that's all you can say, then shut up. Obviously it wasn't too good. And obviously I've got no experience with the line tool. Also, it wasn't overused anticipation. The punch had a very far range made in one frame, which would be a great impact, for that greatly anticipated.
By the way, thank you Tawnik :3.
And thanks to the others too ;D.

Edit: By cleaning I meant making it less wobbly, make the stick resize less and time the SFX right, while still keeping it under 15 mins.
