We need more pros to properly dissect this, almost everyone here's blinded by the two's skills and star status including me.

Also, C3 your VCAM movement is a bit excessive, I actually like the normal horizontal sliding instead of looking like I'm seasick.

Man I like so much about both of these this is going to be tough. The amount of effort you guys both put into both your set-up and actual fights were amazing. Dracko's cinematic and various camera angles were really used to great emphasis, not to mention how your hits had both great impact and speed. The art on the close ups was also a nice touch. I also really liked C3's fighting game like style and presentation in the actual fight. It gives a real unique spin to the battle. I think I'm going to go with C3 on this one, because even though it was a bit wobbly in some of the smaller movements like Drone pointed out, I felt that the actual fight itself was really well done and entertaining. That doesn't mean I didn't think Dracko's was too though. Really, it just makes me want to work even harder whenever I get around to making my first RHG.

I've been eye raped and I loved it. I voted rose because his fight wasn't as one sided, his animation was longer, and I think I have some weird fetishes for C3WhiteRoses animation ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

WOW, great anims from both of you! One thing that really caught my attention for both of you was the style. Not only the game/comic style but the martial arts and the epic moves you pulled off.

Dracko's is a lot shorter, and understandably so since there was a lot of full body. I think it had a higher quality of animation throughout the whole thing. He had really great use of angles and the art was amazing. However, some of the 2d was less dynamic than the rest of the anim, and there wasn't much use of abilities .

What i really love about C3's is that he is incorporating a story into the anim. It's something we don't see a lot in stick anims. He has really nice effects and the choreography flows well. The weaker points were that the close ups were choppy and the shaking and zooming was overkill.

I'm going to hold off on voting since they were both too good to decide.

Hard desicion but I will go with dracko

Good job guys!.

Damn, what was that! Both of ya guys were out of this world!

Wow... Just... wow...
I didn't think C3 could improve any more...
Even with Dracko's fullbody angles and amazing combos he still stands undefeated...

OH SHIT IT'S OUT!

If I go for cinematics, Dracko wins.

If I base it on 2d Fights, C3 wins... Will vote later after constant replay.


C3's credits tho

You guys rock! It's really hard to vote though.

@Guardian: u need to play games more to get a "decrease seasick achievement"
@NiN: only Dracko rock, Im the paper
The only sad thing in Dracko's part is, ShadowRose was too manly
My anim version on Dojo will be different from this, we will put this on Dojo 1 days later

I can't decide based on any of the things I looked at as an animator or things I read from the others so voting will be hard. However as a sort of fanboy I will say that I loved how rose threw in all those characters (especially foxtail) and as a lover of stories I'll say I loved the one he told. For Drakco I'll say I have a sort of headcannon rivalry bias saying I should vote for him and I did like his animation as far as fighting. When I was introduced to rhg the fight was all that mattered so I guess my vote should go to Shura but as far as personal enjoyment I am going to say rose and that's where my official vote is going.

well

i watched dracko's part first, and boy was that intense, he really ROCKed! like he had a license to combo ;) angles and cinematics were on point, his part kinda reminded my of heat vs repulsion, EPIC! but short, his rhg also is stronger, as all zetabranders usually are. he would most likely win in combat

then i watch C3's part, his was long, it seemed like he probably had or spend more time on his part, his moves and effects where stylish, i liked how he made a story line to it, drew out his backgrounds in flash, cinema credits ;), his part reminded me of fighting games, GREAT COMBOS! but games, his rhg is not as OP as drako's, so there is no way he would survive drako's demon power.

overall :
dracko rocked
C3's put a lot of effort into his

so C3's deserves to win :) *shakes hand*

but...im a zeta fan all the way and since the poll is already is shadow's favor, i voted dracko
awesome battle guys, congrats on completing both entries :)

Both parts were incredible.

C3, your quality is insane, dude. It's easily some of the best in the community, especially when you're taking advantage of nearly the entire Adobe Suite! I really enjoyed your combat as well. Good length. Great work, C3.

Dracko, your artwork and style are second to none. Although your animation was much shorter, I loved the atmosphere of the battle. You concisely nailed the feeling of an epic duel. Great scenes. That finishing move was entirely badass. Ended like a true Zetabrander. Great work, Dracko.

I'll leave the critiques to the others. All love from me today. Well played, dudes.

It was very close for me, but I voted Dracko.

Hmmmm, this is a hard choice.
Both fights were gr8.
My vote goes to C3 though. I like it when things are colorful. :D
