Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Short and Sweet.

"F" word in the beginning took away a little for me,seemed out of place. Same brutal fights we've seen lots of times with the same ebb and flow. you hit me I say something, I hit you, you say something, I get really mad and beat the crap out of you.
Animation is very smooth and exciting. Weapons looked okay. Better than expected.
Good fight...good night.

HUGE TIME OUT HERE!!!!!!

First: the story line looks pretty good,Second:The fight was also pretty good but,Third:A SWORD WOULD NEVER EVER BREAK BY A YOYO YOU IDIOT!!!I mean really you couldn't think of some other way for him to win?You can't break a Sword with a YoYo it just can't be done!And don't respond to this with a "It's a sonic YoYo so it could break it" thing because that's just plane Bull, I could think of a much better way to win other then breaking a Sword with a YoYo so a 3/10 and 1/5 for me!!

4.60 for a stick animation ? Newgrounds has fallen down, oh so down. This is pitiful indeed.
Oh well.
All I could say is that there is some extra animation to regular stick moves. This is the one and only good point. But even for a stick movie, this one is very poor. Poor and dull, and the circle jerk at the end was embarrassing, I wouldn't have been surprised if the slept together after that. Seriously, there is nothing special into this movie.

I will quote Luis by saying the most important is the fun you have by watching a movie, and the score should not depend on how much time it took to the author to accomplish it. In this case, I had no single fun. It was not entertaining.

Nice try.

I don't think the addition to a tear jerker ending is really needed here. There is no character development at all in this movie, yet we are supposed to cry when FL(?) leaves after losing (but not dying just like everyone outside the arena ).
That kinda crap really ruins things for me. Yeah, vector art was not crap, and the sounds were cued almost perfectly, but what are you actually trying to say with this movie.
Lose the heart wrenching music and finish the damn fight. There is nothing in this movie that makes me glad I watched it.

a painfully generic stickfight

This was kinda cool and i noticed a shit loads of effort but i will have to subtract points because this is like a lot of other stick figure fights with a highly unoriginal look to it.

They all look the same and none do anything much else to stand out above each other.

Why can't you do something simple like drawing faces on your sticks to standout above the other literary faceless stickfights?

You put all this time and effort into making a cool as possible of a stick fight and adding facial expressions on your stickmen while might not seem important but why put so much effort into complex things while overlooking simple things like that?

a complex drawing is nothing more than combined simple drawings to make up a certain style or whatever.

If you watch other stickfights often other animators overlook simple details such as a facial expressions but you honestly don't need to blend in with the crowded market of stick fight movies.

Go beyond the typical newgrounders expectations of the whole stick fight genre and you will notice that you will have influence over future stick fight movies due to your own creativity.

Right now you could be a leader instead of a sheep that happened to make a generic stick movie that won a few awards.

There are still however things i liked about this stick fight such as the fact you created your own characters rather than making your sticks the green guy and the blue guy that have no names of there own.

You gave them names and there own weapons but character development was somewhat lacking.

The character development or your characters was lacking but it was a quick fight scene for the sake of distraction so there isn't much to complain about here.

I like the use of unconventional weapons because it shows more imagination than hand to hand, swords or guns.

having one stick use a yo yo to fight another stick brandishing a sword shows signs some imagination.

No much to say about in the terms of storyline for a quick fight scene it has a start, middle and climax much like any other story.

You got somewhat of a loose narrative in there so maybe tighten that narrative up a little bit to explain what started the conflict between the two sticks and so on.

it can even be a crappy story but even the worst of action movies have better stories than hey i don't like you lets fight.

but most of us don't expect much in the way of narrative of either stick fight movies or action movies in general.

You can take or leave my advice but i hope you take it because than you'll make an equally successful movie and have a lot less people bitching about how overrated your next movie is.

Sorry for being so harsh on you but seeing this movie gives me the feeling that you are destined for better things.
