Man, you guys desperatley need to look at tutorials...sometimes...I dont even feel like voting...I come from a sprite animation community that beleives that you shouldnt start battles unless you've gotten your basics down.
Anyway, In my opinion FIDST clearly made the better, longer, and more entertaining animation.
You guys need to work on alot of things. Your animations were not smooth, They looked very stiff, You need to put some easing into your stick figures, they had poorley made reactions, and you need to work on your running/walking...In other words, work on your basics.
Animator4life. You really need to work more on your anims. That was litteraly an animation that would take 4-5 mins to make....esspecially since it looks like you guys are using pivot...
