The beginning of this reminded me of Mitchez "Do it!" animation. Or I think that's what it was called, where he fights a bunch of stick figures and does some cool 3D sword moves.
The fire effect looks good, but the way the camera moves after he throws the fireball makes it look the like fireball loses momentum, since it slows down drastically before leaving the stage. And that makes the final scene look a little weird since the fireball is traveling so fast compared to the previous scene.
The throwing motion was animated good though and it looked like he was really pushing himself to run as fast as he could, so that looked cool. You've been animating a lot and it looks like you are getting your groove back. I hope you make more :)
Ok I think this animation confirms that you got your groove back. I always loved your movements. You have this nack for making things flow together really well. I think that stands out in this animation, especially towards the end where he stabs the drone and rolls off the screen. It felt very dynamic. Great job Nico!!
Damn, I love these updates! The recent two look intermediate to me. You have a few weird poses that you still need to work on, like the brown guys reaction to the first kick, both of his arms recoil behind him, but both of his legs stay planted in a wide stance. If it were me I would still show the recoil but I would keep one arm in front of his body instead of showing both go behind him. You could say that is just a preference thing, I enjoy stances where their arms and legs line up with each other. To me it looks more natural.
I think this new update might be worthy of a move up thread.
As usual you made something really cool. The 3D looks good. The last flip when he bounces off the trampoline looks a little weird. I'm not sure if it's the poses you used or the way he picks up momentum as he is mid-air, but it looks kind of odd. The rest of it looks intermediate to me. Hopefully your move up thread gets accepted soon. I feel like you deserve it.
