Quote from Zed

Abyssal uses scarves now and again, so I'm cool with them.

But, they are quite a basic way of adding originality. Biased as I am, I do feel a few extra knees are a better way.

Haha, oh you're so funny.
It's true though I did use scarfes before the vast majority in my pivot animations.
I'm like a scarf hipster.

Scarfs... I'd say Tention and Nhazul got the idea from Shinobi, Strider Hiryu and Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja gaiden. At least thats where I draw my inspiration relating badass gravity breaking ninjas.

And as to why people use them, It's like capes with superheroes. It adds a unique element to the character kicking ass from the opponents the same way Xiao Xiao did it back in the day by making the "Boss" enemy different color. Also the motion of the cape is intresting to animate and is pleasing to the eye.

That's were i got mine,Strider Hiryu(My swords too),And I havent even heard of Zetabrand when I added a scarf to my RHG.

its because people who do have scarf's nowaday's are just wanna be's and its annoying

Mannez, don't just said that. You are not sticking to our topic. Its better if you tell it why.

I believe scarves are just a cool accesories for RHG.
But many people said scarves are annoying, stupid, unoriginal
like the person I mentioned above. You think scarves are unoriginal?
I put one on my RHG and some people saying, "your RHG is unoriginal".
Makes me change my RHG....

You know what would be interesting? If someone made an RHG with a palestinian scarf, maybe tied up as a shemagh or something? Right now, I've only seen one type of scarves and thats these linen/silk scarves. o.o
Meh, scarves are quite okay in my opinon but as I said before, I've only seen one type of scarf being used, there's alot of other scarves, clothing that can be added that will make your character look super cool!

not really some people do it through just wanting to. just because you use a scarf doesn't make you a wanna be it is just overused, however people could use more creative things like belts and headbands though.

I certainly agree.I think scarves are totally overused especially on stickpage.People SHOULD start using different things.

Well I sorta agree with this statement... no Zetabranders didn't make the whole scarf idea but they did cause it to be a fad in fluidanims... it's not the scarf that is wrong it's the fact that as soon as someone does it, a shit ton of people want to take it...

Someone does spiky hair and glowing swords, EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCKING TAKE IT!

Someone does jet swords, EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCKING TAKE IT!

Someone uses a yoyo as a weapon, EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCKING TAKE IT!!!

Originality is a very important thing, I remember when I was younger and I first saw Nhazul and the first thing I wanted to do was take his scarf... but then I realized something... that would be pretty damn unoriginal... so instead I gave my RHG a doo rag...

Also another annoyance is that lots of people who supposedly want the Zeta style think it's easy just because it does not follow most average animation rules... they act as if adding an outline and a scarf to a character automatically makes them exactly like Zeta...

When I see lots of Zeta fans use their I idea I ask why they'd do that...
They often respond by saying: " I WANNA BE UNIQUE!!!! TOO MANY TERKOIZ STICKS!!!!" and it's fucking stupid...

To be honest I have played with Zeta style before but I don't fancy it AS AN ORIGINAL STYLE OF MINE because it probably isn't...

Generally it's not always the fact that Zeta style is fucking abused by every Naruto freak who just joined animation, but also people thinking it's an easy pass and completely better than being a "terkoiz stick" animator...

Also just a lil reminder, be original... don't fucking try someone else's idea and act unique about it...

Well as said I used scarfes ages ago but I wouldn't make my rhg with one at this point because everyone else already has.

Can you show a spoiler look?

And here's a challenge:
What is the most unique RHG you can make?

Quote from Excellion1498

Honestly, scarves are here because of Zetabrand, they're as cool as everyone else wants to be.
Thus : boom! Everyone has scarves.

That' s the topic actually....

An RHG that fights with a remote that summons fighters(and other random game crap) from various games to battle enemies.
Which the remote could also controll the rhg and make him a badass fighter for whoever he chooses to control him.

~AFrom the top of my head.

in general scarves appeal to 11 - 14 year olds because they think it gives them this mysterious, beautiful, badass flowing look
i went through that phase lol

left click on the stage and then document properties.

on topic: the first time I saw a scarf in a stick animation I thought it was cool but as many things: if they are done and done over and over again they become... warm because of the rubbing of many people.

The way I see it, if you've tried to make a power original to you, but it borrows slightly from another power (there was a little spike of jet weapons that people did for giggles on FA, but they were all new ones like jet-shields), AND you've made a decent demo showing that you're serious about animating and taking fights, then go ahead.

It's the moment when you've got a demo with all the heads and arms missing, copy pasted an ability without trying, put a 2 word story, THEN you've shown that you're not here to add to the community, you're just here because you have a hard-on for watching animations and serving yourself.
