You have a bunch of OP powers and you have two weaknesses to balance that, one being "he gets tired at close combat" and another which isn't applicable to most RHG characters.

Basically your guy has a corrupted eye (Edgy) with a rage mode (Cliché) a scythe (Cliché AND edgy) along with a few seconds of future prediction (now ain't that just OP) and you balance ALL that out with "he gets tired in close combat" which is NOT A WEAKNESS

A weakness is something you can directly take advantage of to make him vulnerable. If you have to WAIT for something, that's not a weakness at all. That's just saying "get beat up until he gets tired from beating you up"

Did you even try with this guy? And people egg you on. I bet they only see the high schooler cool factor and ignore everything else.

Despite his tone, he has a strong point. We already have a ton of these kinds of gladiators. Was there something IRL that influenced your decision?

Lovely RHG and Demo, how long have you been animating?

Thank you Ipman, i've been animating for a month :D

Is that not what is all about? D: ... jk

Well, where do i start, you've got a strong point as GuardanTempest said, and your totally right about the weaknesses i can't deny that and i will change them later, but let me clarify things that you said about my abilites. I don't see anything wrong with beeing Cliché, it's not a rage mode even though i said it was kinda (i should correct that later) it's just a transformation that he can trigger whenever he wants to, the reason that i said the Rage mode thing was because i was anxious to post this thread and i couldn't find the right words in my head to express myself correctly (English is not my mother lenguage), and i've always loved scythes and i didn't want to give him a "militaryzed-robotic" kinda weapon because it doesn't fit the character and i wanted to keep it simple. the "EYE GAZING AT THE FUTURE" was just a fancy way to say that he has faster reactions and giving some relation between ability-name.

And tbh i didn't effort with this guy... i had another RHG idea (it had a shapeshinfting gauntlets, beeing a grapling hook his main "weapon) wich was way better and original but it had a lot of assets and nobody would want to battle me. I wanted something simple this time so here he is.

Alt formes are cliche as well as rage modes. You managed to combine the two. (And scythes don't fit mercenaries either :P)

But I'm happy that there was more reasoning behind this than just "lol this'd be cool lets put it IN"

And as for assets, I prefer characters that have minimal assets that, if need be, can be recreated in other programs easily, like your guy now. Gazer's weapons are either two-toned or a single colour with minimal gradients (I'd have preferred none but eh, these aren't ugly like so many others are) so kudos to you for that, but for the gauntlet guy I'm guessing you had a clusterfuck of various commissioned weapons. Would be better to just have them transform into single-colour weapons defined by silhouette rather than detail, which anyone could draw and wouldn't require sprites or whatever flashies use.


If you ever want a new future character, message me up and I'll help you along with it. I've got plenty of folk who can vouch for me being good with characters.

I'm glad things turned out this way, you're turning out better than most newcomers, especially when it comes to criticism.

That's because i've already criticize and been criticized in the past with other things aside from animation, i know that freaking out and insulting everybody is just going to make things worse, +it's not the right way to react ++i would look like an idiot.

This is bad ass, a bit cliche but that's hard to get around I guess. Anyways we should battle sometime in the future!
