Usual, opened flash, made something short thats not all that entertaining and covered in pointless extras yet being posted anyway.

Actually it was pretty good, apart from the last kick that lacked
-gravity
-easing
-timing
-force
-and the feel to it

Yea, I'll make a note to work on kicks, I don't think I made a good kick animation, ever. Thanks.

Both were leaning back when kicking, your stick is leaning forward, thats the biggest mistake that you made ;) stand up and try kicking yourself =) record it if you dont feel like you can tell whether you're leaning forward or backward.

Nice flash... Don't know anything that was wrong in it.

I did martial arts, oh 2 years back, and I remember being told I lean into kicks to much and that that affecting my landing/balance.

Was a nice animation. Very smooth, though the last kick is about 1/8 of a second long xD

A bit stiff.. otherwise cool

Thanks, but how do I make it not stiff? I'm kinda buggered on figuring that out.

I really liked that animation dude ^^, since im new on to Flash, it was pretty good in my opinion, congrats!

Very Nice Short, nice smooth animating, though I do agree with Tawnik, that last kick is Lacking.

What I try to do is to always keep every ligament moving every frame, even if it's only a little bit.. dk, if it will help you though, but it certainly helps me.

Nice anim, very smooth, but i think the body and the shadow were out of sync.

They go out of sync if you have a very slow computer and/or are using IE as I found out, the shadow skips ahead but if you play it from your desktop it shouldn't.
