Around a week ago, arguably the youngest animator ever to get away with posting RHG battles challenged me to a RHG battle. He was a Pivot user, and a novice at that, whereas I am a 3DS MAX user with a merit-based cult of personality. I don't know what on Earth compelled him to challenge me, but considering how a week off hiatus would net me another victory point, I graciously accepted his proposal. I was planning on giving everyone a 4-minute montage of Baysplosions, but 16 glorious seconds would have to do since he managed to finish his animation 2 days after challenging me. I have no idea why he didn't make use of the month-and-a-half-long deadline I gave him, but I decided to just shrug and finish up in a week to give him (the illusion of) a fighting chance. Not that it mattered, of course- apparently, you need to be 13 or older to use the SP forums, and Darkly was about to have his 9th birthday!

And so, for the third time in a row, I have soundly defeated my opponent by default.

See you on the battlefield!

Run like hell!
A forfeit win, I never like this. Thats why I always choose opponents who have a potential outcome
The actions are getting better, still need to improve more. Learn to animate the key frames first.
Become an actor before become an animator

Lol, why did you accept that challenge x3. Also put me on your hitlist if you have one Shadow.

Darkly wins in the humor department though, I found it hilarious how they just stood there and waited for the battle.

Great job though WhiteShadow, I really like the finishing move.

You guys can laugh, but beginning animating at 9 - he'll have 4 years of experience under his belt by the time he can legally compete. You might be looking at the future of the rhg right here. Bow low.

I started animating at 8 years old, and I still suck.

I stuck to it I never really took a break too. I just self-taught myself so I just believed what I did was good :P

Plus im not sure how much he'll want to animate now. I think he was only really here to RHG, and that was ripped right out of his his 9 year old fingers.

Alright, you're on it. And because I'm such a completionist, (in addition to the fact that the entry I put down for you is a little embarrassing ATM) could you tell me why you're eager to fight me?

I just like your Rhg and want to see what you can produce if I battle you.

And I wont quit on you when it comes time to battle X3

Darkly didn't forfeit, he literally finished his battle.

Was this Darkly?

If we put a pole, Darkly would've won. Everyone knows that, so he simply did not put a pole.

I didn't know what else to put at the time since I didn't recall "(won by default)" or "(opponent banned)" being employed by anybody. I'll change the title for accuracy's sake, although this whole muckup could be considered an "auto-forfeit," "insta-forfeit," or what-have-you. *SHRUG*

I know what you mean- I feel the same about the first animations I rolled out! :p
