Hint, your anim was smoother and easier to watch, although, with no background or ground, the characters seemed to be moving different distances over the same amount of time or being in places where I thought they shouldn't have been. Although having no ground also worked to, in my opinion, your advantage, because it made your animation seem different and more interesting.
Quin, your anim was a bit jagged at some places, but smoother in others. It was a bit startling at times. I did enjoy the visual angles you approached from, and I think your special effects were better. Even though it was short, the entire thing was all action.
Overall, my vote went to Hint, for his animation's peculiar area style and his longer and smoother presentation.
