I was having trouble with kicks so I decided to make this.(and it got a little out of hand)
I also made this a little before the easing so don't look forward to seeing that.
The story: Ashige calls Cyriztz to help him with a problem he's recently been experiencing (a lack of kicking) and Cyriztz agrees to help and then the upper happens.

View Profile Since I'm here I might as well save my breath and not talk about the stiffness and lack of easing. I'd be beating a dead horse by now.
Your sudden action sudden wall of dialogue style is annoying, and has no sense of pacing. Pauses in animation need to be placed correctly and have the action slowing down, not suddenly halting.
I understand how you used the two colours in your text to appeal to the character, but it's distracting to read as a whole as a persons eyes are too easily driven to the more contrasting gold. If you're going to use two colours, try something else, such as outlines or whatever.

View Profile xD Cyriztz went to the pivot stickman world to kick it with'cha. (pun intended) eh kicks are quite hard especially a spin kick which I still don't know how to do.

And that's why I made this anim. Can't be a kicklord if ya don't know how to kick.

View Profile Here's some advice: Not every animation has to have a story;. Skip the conversations, they are dull and waste time.

...but....the story is important...T-T my anims would make 0 sense without the words. I mean imagine what happened in this anim... and then take out the talking.
Ashige,Cyriztz,short fight,Nanxion,end. No sense.

That doesn't matter. You're thinking way too much about it, not every single short you make needs some fucking elaborate plot. Like I've said before, you're focusing way too much on presenting the animation rather than the actual animation itself.
Also, taking out the dialogue stops the animation from dragging on and on tediously, so you should consider actually doing it.
