Sticky Please!

Check Out Last Year's Thread for more information.

Long overdue but here it is. Yet another opportunity for RHG Battlers to gain even more points from their hard-earned battles. To those that aren't aware: the RHG system is trying out a new mechanic that rewards an extra 0.5 points to decent anims in forfeited battles. Threads like these are created to discern who really deserved it. Did the animator slack off once he realized his opponent was a no show? Or did he do the opposite and thrive? This is also a perfect place to gather some CNC/Opinions for the underdogs of RHG Battling.

Below are the entries for this period:

Aaaand not participating this month is:

Kursura vs Shadow - 8/27
http://fav.me/d7ws3yy
***I know Shadow delivered in the end, but this is a matter of principle of the original deadline so it still counts. Also, Kursura automatically gets the 0.5 because really this is a no contest for everyone else if I even put him in. I'm just putting it here for posterity.


How to Vote: We are going with a forced ranking. Amongst the 7, assign values of +3/2/1, 0, and -3/2/1. Also, please provide CNC whenever you can. If you look to their old threads, all they kept getting were "That's cool." So if you have time to spare kindly give it due.

Happy Voting!

Vazar vs Gears +2
Movements are kinda off but A for ae-ffort and idea.

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite +3
"GO WWHITESSHADOW! KICK HIS ASS!"
Circlejerking aside, tis pretty good. There are some flaws but this is his best work yet.

ssosmeify vs BBKing +1
Some of his punches don't look right and it was kinda short, but I think it's still okay.

TJG10able vs Triston 0
Sorry TJ, but...are you having trouble horizontally-reversing your STK's?

notthebest vs lFranl 0
It was sort of getting good but cutting it so quickly.

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira +1
(no notable comment)

Venven vs Brosephus +2
Movement was smooth, though kinda all-over-the-place. I would've given a higher point if it was a tad longer.

Vazar vs Gears +1
-I like how he fully destroys Gears

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite +2
-It has some sort of story
-Really long!
-3D software

ssosmeify vs BBKing +1
-ssos made a decent anim, but it's short.

TJG10able vs Triston -1
-That's really not good, it's just stiff stuff
-He has 2 left eyes
-No effort, like always


notthebest vs lFranl 0
-I like the music, kinda
-dat end >_>
-Short

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira +1
-I like Thebest's fighting style in a way
-it's short

Venven vs Brosephus +2
(No, i'm not giving me 2 points because it's my anim)
-It's one of my best anims
-Control over most of the basics(i guess...)

Nice to see this up :D (I was hoping for some CnC but I understand and respect your decision Hewitt)

Vazar vs Gears +1
You mainly need to polish your movements. Try to make them smoother and use some easing. It would also be nice to have some music and a background (especially as the white BG implies the sky rather than a wall).

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite +3
Love the epic scale you go for with your battles. Your animations still have the same pros and cons I feel (grand scale, narrative and action countered by awkward movements and disorientating perspective/views). You are getting better though, the second one in particular. For CnC, some of the poses and movements are way to relaxed for there context like the casual walks. There's also some odd moments of stiffness in the limbs. I also think you should try having some more features to your scenery as it would help show position and motion (e.g. at the start, it's difficult to tell that AAnlbus is still flying backwards until he actually stop).
Overall I think this is your best one yet and it's great to see you improving.

ssosmeify vs BBKing +2
Not bad at all. It could do with some better easing and impact at point. The endings also a bit confusing. More details would be your biggest help atm, like effects, sound and bg details.

TJG10able vs Triston 0
You need to work on timing as almost al of your scenes are to fast, leading to unreadable text and sporadic combat. Also put some effort into presentation, like the bg as it didn't change even as the camera moved around.

notthebest vs lFranl -1
As this is practically the bare minimum of finished I can't really CnC.

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira 0
Work on your basics. It's rather stop and start. Try some sound effect too.

Venven vs Brosephus +1
Nice effort. Try and add more force to the hits. You have the right idea, just keep practice.

Vazar vs Gears +1

This was better than I expected. The animation was not very good, being choppy and practically missing all the basics. However, it had character. You could really see which character was the good guy and the monster, and even the fighting showed how they acted. The monster dude was a bit more aggressive, and I like that. I also liked the fact that he made fun of the "I won't kill you" cliché that keeps getting used by animators. Overall, it was entertaining. Good job.

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite +3

Deserves nothing less. I simply love this animation, I don't even care that the poses weren't the best, the entertainment value was pretty damn high. It was clear that he put a lot of effort into making this and it paid off. It has a storyline which is followed from his past RHG battles, which you don't see that often. I have never animated in 3D, but seeing this animations really makes me want to do it. A few things that could be improved however, are the effects and the character models. They're pretty basic. Now, I'm alright with what the animation had, but if he made the character models and effects even better, I think I'd like these even more. Anyway, I have high hopes for future animations from this guy. Great work.

ssosmeify vs BBKing 0

There's not really much to say about this one. It was short, but the movements were pretty good. Nothing stands out though. It was a bit stiff too, that being the limbs didn't move enough. It was enjoyable enough to watch though.

TJG10able vs Triston -1

At least you tried? It wasn't good. The movements were really bad and the colors hurt my eyes. It was not its own thing either, clearly being inspired by anime. The most ridiculous part however, was the first-person punching scene. I mean, it was really obvious who that was copied from.
Work on your movements, your easing, effects, backgrounds and basically everything. Good luck.

notthebest vs lFranl -3

This is not a full-length RHG animation. This is a test animation. I'm giving it the lowest score it could have because this doesn't qualify as a battle in my opinion and it looks like it was put together in a few hours.

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira 0

It's not bad, it's just not good either. It's really short and the movements lack flow and easing. I liked the stretching however. With no sound and no music, this animation becomes forgettable and pretty dull. Next time, try to put in fitting music, sound effects, and better movements.

Venven vs Brosephus +2

From a pivot standpoint, the movements were pretty good. I really liked the flow of the animation, it was just overall not that bad. It would've done better with more length and sound effects, but it was alright nonetheless.

Im not gonna earn or lose RHG points because of this system, Or was that againest the rules?

Vazar vs Gears +1
You need to work on movement more. Slow down a bit too, and work on your effects.. Good job fully beating up Yalz..

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite +3
Whoa, You need to work a little on movement and your effects, though other than that it's good. Wow.

ssosmeify vs BBKing +1
You need to show more power, and emphasize more(Which is another way for power. ) Your sticks were stiff, too. Either way, it was pleasing to the eye.

TJG10able vs Triston -1
Talking scenes were too fast (I still could read it, but not enough time to process it before other things that happened ) Sticks were really stiff, loosen up! There was a major stop in battle at one point where you just spoke fast, too. Emphasize more!!

notthebest vs lFranl +0
I have to be honest, it was good. I can't really judge anything because everyone has their own way of cinematics. It was really good, why u have to stop :(

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira +0
Smooth, but short. Stiff sticks though, and EMPHASIZE MORE. You need to work on easing too. Other than that, it's not good, and it's not bad either.

Venven vs Brosephus +1
Short, animation is just right. You need to work on power a lot, though.
Also, is that the only song you will ever use for animations, or what? xD (Didn't downgrade your score)

Weird things happening (Click to Show)

It looks like the sword is kicked, but with that one little kick, everyone goes into the air. Okay on the first-person punching scene, other than the hand was 2x bigger than the enemy. Almost every recent scene of yours goes into the air, which annoys me. The sword stopped mid-air until the bullet hit it.

Emphasize more!!

Thats not the rules, I said im not losing my RHG battle points, Why? Because you think im stupid? And an idiot?

as much as you are getting annoying with these rants. I honestly dont thing people should lose points for their animations

I really think it should be 0 to +3 scale. Making people lose points for their animations is kinda rude.

i agree with them. but i suppose you can take away the win point in question if enough people dont think its up to par. making us possibly go negative in wins isnt such a good feeling.

and to TJG10able nobody is calling you an idiot nor do we think you are stupid. its just the way this kind of thread is.

These 2 points^ have been brought up in last year's thread. In exactly the same way. That's why I urged people to read it but it seems no one has. So I will once again address it in the very same way Fronox complained about it last time:

tl;dr, the negative scores mean nothing. The negative scores function as a mechanic to force rank something for the sake of this bonus to apply. If your anim wasn't exceptional this period then better luck next time no harm done. It doesn't mean that you suck outright and it doesn't mean you should feel bad.

Ok that makes more sense.

Vazar vs Gears - +1
Oh shot, that was pretty brutal. Despite the annoying voice effects it had bit and some big particles, think this one's pretty good. Probably need some in-betweens for the movements transition. Keep up the good work.

WWhiteSShadow vs Nanite - +3
I always like the 3D stuff you bring, WWhiteSShadow. Those humors bit, effects, movements, can't seem to find the flaw so far though. Seems you're improving in every battle you have. :D

ssosmeify vs BBKing - +2
Liking the smoothness provided on that Pivot anim over there. Though some of the combo forces didn't really apply there imo (like probably the punch should be more powerful if you can make a good trick for the easing). Also like the cinematics you put there, reminds me with Stickly's style.

TJG10able vs Triston - -1
Hmm, the texts were too fast, the effects came out too sudden, and most of the movements are awkward. I suggest you to practice more for the basics.

notthebest vs lFranl - -3
What. One hit wonders? Intro > Battle scenes? Too short to me though, so I assume this was unfinished. :/

THEBESTG07 vs Ahmed Sef Mira - -2
The ending was too rushed, and no sounds.

Venven vs Brosephus - -1
No climax? I mean, the good fight where the orange stick fight back? Doesn't seem too interesting, so I suggest you to try to make longer anim for your next battle and try to plan a good plot in it. That might help.

thats -7 for me so far. keep it coming guys

Nobody wants to really say it but if we're talking about your competence level then...yes.

Because you didn't read my thread. The points don't add to your win/loss ratio. They're meant to be personal scores for the chance to get a bonus 0.5 win. And really, you complained about the point but saw nothing from the wonderful comments these people took their time to rate you for? How shallow are you.

You better watch your next reply, because I don't want Cami to facepalm herself trying to see what I did this time around after you report me to her for the 999th time for "calling you an idiot". How dare you report us for being rude to YOU. Rude. That's your middle name, isn't it?

I've done nothing but be courteous to you thus far, and explained things as calmly as possible. It's not fair that you should have to respond so rudely to absolutely anything and then whine about it when that same rudeness comes back to you. Absolutely nothing goes through your brain unless it's about you and how awesome you are so listen carefully: This thread does not revolve around you. Take the cnc's to heart and keep an open mind. Calm the fuck down.

Ignore the score and take the comments into consideration. Next time you have a forfeit on your hands, know that it isn't over and you shouldn't rush or do badly as well.
