I'd like to see different animation styles be used. Hell, even a fullbody round could be a challenge round and new to beginners. Even those with mice and trackpads such as myself could easily still pull it off give enough effort. The combo could be much simpler.

I'd like to see one about colors. Not a very FULL one content wise, but it'd be great practice and cool to see how people can use colors.
I'd like to see additional limbs.
I'd like to see certain fighting styles: boxing, kendo, fencing, judo, etc.
I'd like to see something with weapons since it hasn't been done a whole lot.
I'd like to see a spin on some popular collabs even: Doors, Punchman vs KickDude, Spin, etc.
I'd like to see ones with a template, where users are given, let's say a path; maze; etc.
I'd like to see one with varying INTENSITY. It can be average, then REALLY INTENSE, then out of nowhere, all the hits are really soft.

I'll post again when I come up with more ideas. I kinda just brainstormed.


heeeyy i mentioned that additional limbs idea too *high fives* great minds think alike?

I'd like to see one about an assassination. Lots of different ways you can do this. This one could even be a loose round where the combo is very vague or there might not even be one at all. I don't know, it's up to you.

I'd like to see one that's TIME based. Like, let's say there's a guy who's like transforming or powering up. A character has let's say, 30 seconds to kill this guy who is powering up, otherwise he gets fucked by the transformation.

I'd like to see one about music. I don't really think it should necessarily be about being synced because that's gotten so generic and tedious. What about this? Before the round begins, everyone participating posts in the thread. They're then randomly selected and given a song randomly from a songbase and have to express the MOOD of that song in their animation as well. A key thing here would be mastering pacing. All the song selections should be really diverse too. Having 18 people do EDM is dumb. Classical, post-rock, grunge, hip hop, rock, metal, pop, indie, etc. Every participant should present something unique. Judging for this round can have an extra category which is Expression.

I'd like to also see possibly MORE rounds. Some filler ones that anyone can do to get some score and is just based off of pure skill. They can even be vanilla or just something simple like elements. Maybe extending the rounds up to 15 where 5 simple rounds are a quick combo that focuses entirely on movements and fundamentals as opposed to using flares, tweens and 5 minutes of generic dialogue followed by bad movements and fallacious effects.

I'd like to see one about homage to a film. This one is a little tricky with sorting out who does what. A way to have this be done is by sorting the possible combos by category of film: scifi, western, action, fighting (Bloodsport, Rocky, etc), fantasy, etc. Each category of film would produce a different combo using the elements of the genre and film to make the combo unique. For instance, a fantasy one could be, punch, kick, SPECIAL POWER. And depending on the film use, the special power would vary from animator to animator.

More brainstorming.

A Chase. a fight that is happening during a chase. it could be parkouring on the rooftops, a car chase, or 2 old people on walkers at the senior center. As long as its a Chase.

Actually it doesn't even have to be a fight. As long as the combo is done during the chase, it works. You can do so much with that motif. Like running down a market of angry villagers who are throwing stuff at you cos the guy in front wrecked their stall

Also, thanks for taking my suggestion srsly, Oxob. This thread works.

Hmmmm of course its just a thought but the main reason imo that BSE moved away from its roots is stories and scenarios were the main focus, I think the combos should be random rather that based on different moves from various fighting styles and settings chosen for the round keeping it to one room, one building ect. I know this would restrict the freedom of the animators a lil bit but at the same time "maybe" its a necessary restriction. Adding in more devastation kinks would make it way more interesting also and give people more experience animating odd circumstances.

EX. Setting: Home Basement
Character Count: Two
Style: Karate
Combo: (you guys are pros at this part, you dont need an example ;D)
Kink: both parties are blind, one person is also missing an arm


IDK just an idea guys

How about a standard gladiatorial match, except that halfway through the ou diene gets bored and starts throwing random stuff at the gladiators, and they use the objects thrown into the arena as weapons? The items thrown may even have a theme, like weapons/objects from anime/video games, books, cleaning objects....etc.

i dont know if we cant suggest anymore but yolo
what about a 1 vs many theme
or a 2v2 and both sticks have to do a difrent combo
or a combo where there are alot of stickmans and each one must do only 1 hit
or a combo based on the place the fight is happening for example: punch-punch-push-enemy fells of cliff-jump off too-kick or dropkick-the impact throws him inside a House and breaks the window-throw granade

Why dont you do an anime based theme
