I'm getting back into animating, so I'll start at the bottom - Pivot.
I'll post my animations here from here on out.
Comments, and criticism accepted.

That was a nice animation.
Very smooth and it flowed well.
Delete the frame before the punch because it makes it look out of place.
And work on foot placement.

Thank 'ee good sir, if I had saved the pivot I'd edit it, but right now I'm working on another test animation.
I'll post it very soon.

Actually I didn't like it. The foot placement was terrible and the movements where off, the only thing I can do is recommend practise because you allready know how to animate you just need to get back into it. Anyway keep it up and you'll get back into it. <3

I can't seem to find your usual wall of text?

Zed's given up on his legendary criticism?

Not at all. I just couldn't find anything to write about without going into how there aren't twelve stickmen around the side beating the crap out of each other flawlessly.

Hahahaha, my tests usually aren't fights. Once I get the basics down, then I'll escalate into fights, and ascend into good lengthy animations.

They are great animations, but work on the feet, then it will be perfect.

Thank you, my feet placement is really terrible.
I made another animation, and I paid extra attention to the feet. Somehow they still don't look perfect, but I think the animation altogether is decent...
