Too many stick-fights on NG.
Aspects (rated from ----- to +++++)
==========================
----: A fair few seconds of music plays when the movie loads.
-: crappy shape-tween for 'replay' button.
+: Music changes at a good point
+++: all motion is fluid
-: enemies could react more to punches. Exaggerate stuff. It's an animation.
+++: slow motion trails are cool
--: no story
-: Ending feels sudden.
-: sticks are a little stubby (short and fat)
Overall
==============
It shows you can obviously animate a quality fight scene. To be honest, there are so many of these, they need to be mega-awesome to entertain me.
I enjoyed this to some extent, but maybe with some story put in (even at the level of Xiao xiao - stick man enters building, you see the enemies, he's got to beat them. It's still a story, even though no words are spoken or anything.) it'd rock.
In any case, tell your friend he obviously has talent and should keep at it.
Stay funky,
