Thats right! Your favorite competition is back with 10 new rounds of insane combos! This is the competition that turned me into the animator that I am today and I’m very happy to be hosting it this time.
Now lets get this party started!
_________________________________________
What is B.S.E.?
It's a very simple yet fun idea, you will be given a sequence of moves and a ”special element” that must be performed in a combo. The combo is being performed by ONE stickfigure against another stickfigure. The special element can be anything from superpowers and special weapons, to diffrent enviroments and music synchronization.
An example:
Combo: Punch, Punch, Kick, Kick, Kick."
Or "Punch, Kick, Throw.
Special element: The combo must be performed inside a wind tunnel.
The combos will become more advanced the further on down the competition, so the final round will have a great number of moves on the list.
How Many Rounds?:
There will be 10 rounds, each one will last 2-4 weeks. No rounds will be shortened or lengthened, even if everyone finishes their animations early, or most people don’t finish on time.
Length?
There will be NO minimum length. However, obviously, length may act as a catalyst for getting more points, which will be distributed for actual animating skill.
Can I miss a round?:
You are allowed to miss out rounds although this will obviously affect your overall score.
I'm finished!:
At the end of the 10 rounds a winner will be chosen from the highest overall score, and an award will be given to the highest scorer of every round. The top mark for each round will be 10, your end score will obviously then be out of 100.

Round 6
Ends November 15
Midnight Swedish timezone
Combo
Counter-Kick, Jab, Jab, Elbow, Elemental-Kick, Counter-Punch, Knee, Kick, Elemental-Attack*, Counter-Punch, Kick, Elemental-Jab, Elemental-Jab, Bonebreaker, Knee, Elemental-Headbutt.
Special Element
One or both stickfigures must possess elemental powers.
Elements?
Just had to bring this special element back. Something that will really spice up your attacks, and show our skills with specialeffect, is elements. The 4 basic elements are water, earth, wind and fire, but you can also use other elements like ice, electricity, shadows, metal, lava etc. Only one element for each stick.
I know this special element was used for the last BSE version, but I know it was one of the favorites and I think it would be sad to not use it again. I also tried to make the combo a bit more creative then last time.
Jab?
A jab is basicly a quick, weak punch that is often used in boxing. Since boxers always keep their "guard" up, the punch is launched from chest or facehight. This only allowes the fist to accelerate for about 2 feet before impact. It's fast, but weak.
Example:
Whats the "elemental-attack" thingy?
This attack doesnt have to be a punch or a kick. This attack can be ranged if you want it to be. For example if your element is fire, this can be used as a flamethrower attack or maybe a fireball from the sky. Be creative c:
This combo looks hard o:
This competition is half way through now. Now is when it starts to get really challenging. Are you able to pull this off?
FPS? Dimensions?:
No FPS or Dimension requirements.
I shall repeat that there is no minimum length of the anim, and no maximum either. You must NOT add any other moves other than the ones included on the list. If the combo is changed, it will have a big effect on your score.
Score System
There will be three judges rating your anim. You will be given a score between 0-10 by each judge,
•0.0 - 6.9 : At least you tried...
•7.0 - 7.9 : This is pretty good!
•8.0 - 9.4 : Excellent! Everyone must see!
•9.5 - 10.0 : *jaw drops* Flawless!
