DRAGON BALL!!!^^
Reviews for "Ssbf: Battle Royale Pt.1"
Normally, I am not a huge fan of stick movies, but this was great. The effects looked good, the fight was great. This was awesome. Keep doing stuff like this.
Good animations and another great stick fight I can't wait for the next one
Meh...
The animation was decent. A couple of things I noticed, though:
1) THis really should not have been "stickmen." You fleshed out the musculature for the fighters and there's only, like, ten seconds where they're ACTUALLY stickment. I got the impression that you simply weren't comfortable animating faces, so you left them blank. THat puts you in an awkward position where it's too detailed to really fit the stickman style and not detailed enough to hold up as anythinbg else. Your best bet is going to be to get used to animating faces. You've got the skill for it, so now you just need the practice
2) If you want to keep the audience interested in a fight, you're gonna want to keep it as more of a toss-up. In this animation, the white is guy is winning pretty much the whole time. There's no curiosity as to what happens next because nothing ever phases the white guy. It's like watching God fight a hobo....there's no reason to watch until the end because you already know who's going to win right from the start. THe fight itself isn't BAD, it just needs to be less one-sided if you want to keep us interested.
3) I'd like to see some of your own moves in the animation. I know that Dragon Ball and Naruto are fun to watch, but if I wanted to see those moves, I'd switch to Hulu. I want to see moves that you've made up yourself. Sure, you can have him summon up a wall of earth to block an attack, but don't include the Naruto hand signals. It's okay if he summons a ball of energy, but don't make it blue and summoned with both hands if you're not going to give the guy an orange jump suit and spiky hair. We already know where the blue ball of death comes from. Again, this simply comes down to you stopping partway there. If the one guy is going to use all Naruto moves and the other guy is going to use all Dragon Ball moves, then you may want to consider turning this into a parody and just exaggerate everything or replace the stickmen with the actual characters. We're here to watch YOUR ideas and YOUR animation, not Naruto's.
SO the animation itself was pretty good, but the content should be pushed more into your own stuff unless you want to swing it all the way to parody
Audio is a little hot - maybe take that down a notch next time. Other than that, pretty good.
