Comments please.

Also, I made this awhile ago, pretty scabby but yeah. I honestly have no idea why I added a reflection to this one.

The first one is really good.
I think he shouldn't just stay in the same vertical position during the second part of the flip.

I like the way the explosion dissapated, but there could have been at least some particles. :/

Nice job, though. :3

Both of them are pretty good. Btw how long have you been animating for?

The second was alright. Short and very very basic though. The flips should haven't just been rotated in mid air and then moved, but it's okay I guess.

The explosion was horrible :/
Explosions are a vast amount of colors, and they don't stop and then explode again (unless it's more than one bomb. In your case, it didn't look like it). You need particles, smoke, and fire. Try to make a tremor effct as well and maybe a slight blur to show strength.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Arch-Angel: Thank you, finally someone who gave me some proper feedback.

With the explosion, how would you go about adding fire? I was also going to add particles like little stones, but the layers were being a bitch and I got too annoyed with it.

Thankyou :3

Shade the smoke and add some sort of firey effect or something.

Thanks. Also, out of interest, how long did the explosion at the beginning of CBC2 take you? Its the best I have ever seen in Flash.
