Does it really matter about this whole 'I did scarves before they were cool' bull crap? Implement scarves if you want to (and can animate them well to suit your style), but if you can't, use something else, simple

ok people, as Leo said earlier, the idea for scarves was indeed inspired by video games and anime. characters like Hotsuma from Shinobi (directly influenced Tentionmaru's scarf), Strider Hiryu, Ryu Hayabusa, Chipp Zanuff and many more. do any of you even play video games or watch much anime? you will see scarves like mine appear all the time, it's like a classic ninja trait. It looks cool as hell when pulled off right.

As far as I know, me and Nhazul were the first people to implement them in stick animations as far back as 2004, like ichi saiid. and as time went on, people noticed them and the whole scarf idea started to catch on. the real reason they blew up in popularity is probably due to the formation of Zetabrand.

lol, 'no offense' after using an offensive term.

so, scarves are unoriginal. Especially if you animate your sticks with a scarf and an outline, little consideration for gravity, dbz sfx, exaggerated movements and rape of colorful effects, unless you're part of Zetabrand.
To all those saying that it's completely okay to use it because Nhazul or Tention doesn't care, you suck. Even though they said that, you should still find something more original. Whatever things they say, using scars are still unoriginal. You should think of more "cool" and awesome accessories for your RHG. It's not impossible to think of them. Some examples:

Leon, Sarari's rhg. His wings are totally unique and awesome.
Oreo's storm blades. Unique and awesome.
Franky, Frank's rhg. His shields are awesome and he modified it to make it unique.
Robecor's rhg, Angel, has a cool and unique sword.
Aero, CaM's RHG, epic hoverboard.

These people thought out of the box rather than ripping off things from their favorite animators.


btw I'm just talking about originality within the stickfigure animation community.

Lol I don't mean gay as in wack. I mean Gay as in Homosexual. It's weird seeing a brute male wearing a scarf which is the typical faggot attire in san fransisco. Lol

So everytime I see an rhg with one I chuckle. haha

Kind of weird how you think a stick figure is gay but each to their own fetishes.

You obviously misinterpreted what I said.

Never called the stick figure gay, I'm just saying it reminds me of the gays of San Fransisco. Lol

Ties are ironically cool... That's a nice touch
