Meh it was okey xD
Also seagull, can you make me a tutorial of flash 4 newbs? because I was staring at it like 2 weeks ago And I couldn't even find the "add frame" button ;-;
The sad thing is I never found it.

Hmm... Now here's another battle that's giving all of us, the voters, a hell of a hard decision... Here's my opinion :

Setto : Very smooth for a pivot user. I have a feeling your battle was longer then Seagull's, since the combos were slower, so they were a bit more realistic and smooth. I'm not gonna count on the fact that Pivot is (at least, from my experience) a lot harder to use than flash. Unlike Seagull, that you're good at animating the scarf, well, at least decently. There were some facial expressions, not so many actually, but they fit the animation, just so it feels at bit deeper then plain 2D. You didn't make a whole scene for them too, so that's a major plus for you. Effects when it comes to the sword slashes and the blinks were really nicely done. You attempted to draw some background, I have to count that in too. As an addition to that, you also launched the battle into the air, and gave yourself a chance to provide an excellent finisher to the combo. After every hit, you displayed a decent reaction as well, and the battle course was really natural. You truly have improved a lot, and I'm rooting for your next animation. Also, thanks for crediting Slaughterous lol.

Seagull's part : I was very impressed after seeing the preloader you modified, and the intro you added your character too, it actually made me wonder, how good will the rest of the animation we even more. The battle started, and you made some very itchy transitions from the pure combat, to just standing and making a pose. The combat was mostly flash 'n' dash style, which, in my opinion, displays you're not capable of landing a good combo without your character disappearing and showing up and the other side of the target, which has nothing to it. No gravity. No force. No impact. I have to give you a point for syncing, but as good as a joke that waiting for the chorus part was, maybe you shoud've made the battle a bit longer before that. And why make such a big deal out of the whole chorus thing, if you're gonna end the battle there? I get it, you wanted to display your skill of making facial expressions and mobile effects during an immobile scene, but that's not what wins fights.

After examining both of the battles thoroughly, I can only say, my vote goes to Setto. Simply, a battle well executed.

To add a frame, press F5, but that frame will only show what's in the last keyframe, so even if you try to edit it, it will only change the last keyframe. to add a new keyframe (a frame that actually changes the frame) press F6. I'll make a tutorial for u ASAP, but on hyun's youtube channel he's got newb flash tutorials already, so you can watch those.

Edit:


Yeah I was honestly dissapointed in myself after making this as well. My combos were mostly just setto flying and beating me up. Most of the reasons for this is because I was in a hurry and trying to save time. Also, because I honestly do have a bit of a hard time doing combos. Also the low amount of battling was also to save time as well. If I didn't do all these, I figured my battle would end up pathetically short. The same thing with the facial expressions part. I was gonna have some awesome actual combos there after that, but by the time i got there, it was already the due date so i had to end it there. But honestly I don't disagree that you voted for setto. Even though his movements were a bit stiff, they were better than most of mine. If i could vote on this, I would choose setto as well tbh. Since I don't like how mine ended, I think I'll make a remake of my battle (not official of course) and post it in the community animations section. I'll try to make that one a lot better and put more work into it.

I don't get the not upload to youtube part but you can just drop the music/sfx file into flash and then it will import it there(assuming you use flash). Just add new layer, drag it from the library and then drag it to the canvas. But if you use pivot then I have no idea how to add sounds.

Well you download windows movie maker and add the SFX and music there... Its not dangerous because its a windows official app and assuming you're not using .stk files just change the file of mp4 to a file like .swf or something and then upload it... One way or another flash is easier because you can import the sounds in the program and just export it as a .swf.... Also if you have a mp4 file just upload to YouTube.
