ok thanks for the review. I would add stuff to the background, but as this is a frame by frame animation, I would need to re-do each frame - maybe I'll get round to that one day... I did consider it at one point, but I'd already done about 300 frames...
Yeah, I know people hate the sound, so yeah, I probably will change that if ever work on this again.
Anyway, thanks for the support.

Can you people <please> read the author's comments?
In response to "you put a walkman inside a tin can and recorded it from there" can I point out that I already said "It's [the sound] fairly low quality to lower the size (try 1/10th of the size of full quality)". which is why I added the option to turn it off with 's'. This isn't bad sound - it's smart optimisation. I <never> add full quality sounds to my flash unless it is an original sound by me or by someone I know well enough to ask in person for their permission.

I aproached stick fighting as a genre. I wanted to make a "pure" stick movie - meaning no plot, no (real) dialogue, not even an environment, just two sticks going at it. as for originality, I feel have brought something new to the genre - I've never seen wrestling moves in any other stick movie I've seen. apart from that I was concentrating on craft - but I'll forgive you for not knowing about that with your <0> submissions
