Evan Bourne - Not as choppy.

Brett C - Well it took you awhile but you've gotten alot better since the last time I saw one of your animations, the running was decent but the back looked although it could of been bent more and the same with the arm's, the jump to the wall was good but the stick's leg began to look fidgety, the moonsault was ok but just a tad down from the rest of the animation, the legs movement's looked odd - next time make sure that you do the movement's over alot of frame's and the white's reactions were really good bu could of been spaced a little more and it also could of flowed better.

6.75/10

N.E.W - From when you started you have always been pretty good at animating heck probably even better then some of the people who have been here from month's, so first off I'm not too keen on people doing "botch" animation's because personally I think that it is an excuse for not doing the reaction's, The leg's during the jump were great nut the arm movements were too fast compared to the rest of the animation, the transition from mid - air to the flip looked very awkward and maybe you would of been better off with a different type of jump, however the rest of the mid - air part looked pretty good but the spin could of been spaced out a bit better and the reaction's were simple, boring and there was no impact - just remember that the reaction's are as important as any other part of an animation and sadly they can wreak an animation.

5.5/10

The "Truth" killer - You've been here for around 6 or so month's now and sadly this animation in my eye's doesn't show it, I like the set up, the jump look's extremely lazy and just that there was not enough time and effort put into it, the transition from the jump to the mid - air part needed alot more frame's as in one the figure is on the ladder then the next thing you know it the figure is in mid - air - also one more thing the figure didn't get enough air from the jump, I l know that it was probably hard to space out such a large amount of air time but you could of at least made the amount the stick moved consistent and the reaction's are just meh, boring nothing that really make's me care and the impact was extremely off - I mean they jump off a ladder that was on top on a cage; I think that their going to do a little more then a slight bounce.

Rated Ryan - If you are new to animation this is a decent start, the movements in the jump were decent but the arms should of gone behind the figures back as that is how a jump is usually done, also this part could of used 5 or so more frames to smothen it out as at the moment it looks quite choppy as fast, The mid - air part was ok but you again need to use more frames - infact the animation as a whole needs to have the amount of frames raised alot, I like how you had the legs split a bit during the flip but you should of made sure that the movements flowed and weren't all over the place, the movements were decent aswell but you need to bend the elbows (the leg's also need more movement in the knees so that it looks less stiff and more realistic), the reactions look like not much effort was put into them I mean you did them in like 4 frames - next time use more frames and add a slight bounce for impact.

2.5/10

The Grazer - I'm not exactly sure about who you are or how long you've been around but by the animation I'm guessing that your new?, ok so first off the spin into the move was decent but the arm movements were too fast and didn't exactly make sense, another thing that I disliked about the animation was that there was no jump yet they managed to get air time which looks very awkward so just remember next time to do a jump, the mid - air part of the move looked pretty smooth but was extremely stiff, you cant just have the sticks fall - you need to bend every joint in every frame - this way you will avoid stiffness, now the same can pretty much be said for the reactions, the bounce was nice but lack of movement killed it.

3.5/10

Vote: The Grazer.

Evan Bourne - Ok, I didn't exactly like how you already had the sticks in a crouched position - this looks quite lazy in my eyes and the animation would of been better if you have done it from a standing start, the jump itself looked quite decent but it was stiff in places such as the arms/legs and torso, some of the movements during the jump also looked awkward and out of place - you should make sure that each frame flows into the next, the mid - air is quite decent but I'm not a fan of the back / leg arch however that really just comes down to personal preference, to moonsault could of used a few more frames during the rotation also, the reactions were acceptable from the white but the receivers were really not up to standard with the rest of the animation and should of had more time and effort put into them.

5.5/10

Spartonred - I believe that you are new to animation and this is a pretty decent start, now first off the sticks are really stiff, I don't know if this is because the stick you are using only has one back joint or what but if it is try an edit in some more back joints or get a different stick, however the animation has a nice smoothness to it but make sure that you don't over do the amount of frames you use during mid - air because this can make an animation look "floaty" and unrealistic.

Diet Echo - Always have liked you animations and styles, Th lift up was preety good - joints were bent well had a nice amount of frames but I think that it should of been more spaced and/or had the spacing be more noticeable, The mid - air was good but could of used 1 or 2 more frames and towards the end the receivers movements got to fast which looked out of place with the rest of the animation, I liked the leg split but it should of lasted longer and be more noticeable, I liked the reactions but the attackers back was really stiff during them.

J2 - Love the style and set up for the animation - look's really good, The jump was well done, spacing was there, back was nicely bent but the arm movement's looked off and there was a fidget or two in the leg's, The transition from the jump to the mid -air part wasn't spaced correctly and looked really slow, to do the spacing I'm preety sure it should be done something like this:
|-|---|-----|-------|-----|---|-| That should get you to having the stick fully crouched for the jump.
|-|---|-----|-------|-----|---|-| That starts at the lift off and end's when the stick reach's it's highest point in the air.
Then you had the rest spaced correctly, besides that the rest of the mid - air looked good and had a decent arch, the reaction's were acceptable but nothing really that great.

7/10

Daniel - Another nice looking style and set up but the snow on the ground is the wrong color or something and looks odd and out of place, any who, the jump was pretty much perfect but I felt that the stick didn't need to bend down that far for the jump and the arm's were extremely stiff, the mid - air movements were great and the leg movements were awesome and well spaced - the only thing that I didn't like was how the stick kind of went into a laying position, the reaction's were decent but nothing special and I felt that you could of done something a bit more exciting with them.
