Hello Gouenji, and welcome to the forums.

Your newest animation is good but I feel as if it lacks power, I'd use a slightly skinnier base because I think the fatness of that one just makes it look weaker. Also, you need to stress your poses a bit more-like for a punch, you need to extend it more and make the back more dynamic.
Hope that helps, and be sure to post around the forums.

:D

I like the smoothness of your newest. And its shakyness is very reduced, which is hard to do.

Are you on another forum, by chance ?

[Gouenji32]

Thanks very much for your detailed cc Lord Pivot ! I'll be sure to be active on this forum !
And Anton thanks too i'm on PA forum !

Newest super combo of elements ! UPDATE !!

[Madnessthunder]

Heeyyy maaan. How am I suppose to keep up my Valtus animations when you go and post epic shit like this???

Also, I am in love with the little kick jump he does

Hi Gouenji! I'm also relatively new here, but it looks like you'll be fine. Here are the main things that I noticed:
1: The pants are baggy and the arms are slightly short. This is a problem because it's harder to see exactly the fluid movement you put into the animation, and until you are confident with other sticks, should you use something harder to see and express, and also makes it look less powerful (like LordPivot said)
2: The screen shakes when he makes the fireball, but it doesn't really shake when he stomps on the ground or when the fireball explodes. You therefore are belittling the stomp and explosion, which in my eyes should be the exact opposite. Nice work on the special effects though!
3: To give it a more lifelike stomp, you should have your entire body more pressed against the ground, rather than mainly just his leg, (eg. his back could be tilted more down, his arms thrown back).
4: Before the guy jumps into the air, he should crouch more, to seem like he is actually pushing himself into the air more powerfully, (unless he can fly, then you can ignore this one ).
5: To make the hole left on the ground seem more realistic, you should have it approximately the same size and shape as the rock that came out of it, with the exception of small cracks, and small bits of rock.
6: The flying kick seems very weak, partly because he just seems to fling his legs out in both sides. First off, that wouldn't make sense considering the fact that there is nothing on the other side, and second, you should have him just make a slightly more exaggerated kick, like pull back, and slam his foot into the rock, breaking it.
7: To put more suspense into your kick in the sky, you can have them rise a bit more slowly, and right after they reach the peak of how high they go, then your character can kick it.
8: When your character lands after kicking with both feet in the air (in the beginning), you should make sure his feet/legs take the recoil (as i call it). The "recoil" is after a person lands. When the person lands, you should have his feet bend down more, indicating that there is gravity, and that you can't just kick into the air and land, light as a feather.

All and all, beautiful execution, and the smoothness is close to perfection. Keep it up!

@Madness Thunder So thanks gonny see your valtus animations! ;)
@SupaPig Oh so you're also new ! First of all thanks for the very detailed commentary, it's very helpful ;) !

[SupaPig]

No problem Gouenji, nice to meet you.

[Gouenji32]

New update !! I was sick since 1 month !!

[Llama]

That's probably the cutest base I have ever seen. The moves look really fluid and flow well with each other. The varying consistencies with the frames looked really nice as well.

[SupaPig]

Awwww :) That's adorable!

[Gouenji32]

Lol thanks for these cute commentaries !! :)

[Gouenji32]

Okay some shakiness to fix thanks you ! :)

You have to work on spacing and physics.

To begin with, your lack of easing is very obvious considering how the stickfigure moved forward too abruptly and the anticipation for the jump wasn't really there. The least thing you could do was ease the part before the jump to make it slightly clear that he's actually anticipated for a little while. After the jump, the change of direction was really off and odd which caught my attention the most. It was as if there was no gravity what so ever, or the gravity constantly changes. Kinda like Daniel's drunk animation. If you wanted to makesuch a move properly, then you could have used the arms to help reach such a height. Here, hopefully this will help.

What you need to remember is that you can never change your direction in mid-air. In addition, it's also needed more air time.

When the stickfigure stopped, he stopped a bit suddenly, so, again, easing. I would like to recommend you to read some tutorials about flow and easing and practice what you've learned. Or at least keep what you'll learn in mind whenever you animate.
