OK, I like the animation, and admire the obvious amount of time that you put into it. And for a first attempt at a long animation I like it. HOWEVER, I do have a good amount of constructive criticism for you to think about and fix on your next animation (should you make another long one).

First, Make the wording last longer, some parts of it are near impossible to read.

Next, Try to keep it to 2 plots or less, don't go trying to do 8 different stories in one animation (If you want to do that many then make it a series).

As always, work more on cutting it neatly from the sprite sheet. There weren't really any lines (that I saw) which is great, the main thing you need to look for is the parts where there is space in the middle of the sprite and take the background out of those, for instance, I saw a lot of green in explosions and various other people doing other things that was very out of place. It is a small detail but it is the little things that seperate good animators from decent ones.

I think that you did a nice job with the teleporting hand to hand combat though. Looks better than in most of your previous work. Good job there.

The biggest thing I would say though is to watch the skipping, there were a few parts where it was very evident, and that isn't good. I know it is tedious to do so many slides when you are doing a long animation, but putting that extra hour in of making a few more slides in some scenes could easily make the animation 3x as good.

So, very nice job for a long animation. Just keep those main easy to fix things in mind and incorporate them next time.

As for being better than Mojo...

I wouldn't concern yourself so much with who you are better than and who is worse than you. Just work on continually improving YOUR animations and do the best that you can. I honestly don't know who is better between the two of you. Mojo hasn't done a long animation yet, so I would have no way of judging that. But try not to worry too much about it.

how long does it take you guys to make these animations and sigs? they look like they take a very long time to make!
For sigs for me it takes maybe 5 minuets at the least. As for animations wait till Rollerking gets on to answer the question.

Ya, sigs only take me anywhere from 10-30 minutes. Animations however can take MUCH longer, I tend to make a lot of small adjustments to improve their quality, so mine take longer than most other animators. My Ice Climbers animation took me about 9 hours. And that isn't including the time I spent studying the chaingrabs to make it look as accurate as possible.

EDIT:

PROJECT UPDATE:

Doom, I am virtually done with the animation. The only real thing I want to do to it is add jaffar's shadow to a couple frames near the end when he is falling that I missed, then add the background you asked for. Here it is so far. Tell me if there are any other changes that you wanted.



As I said earlier, the triple parry is a tiny bit choppy, but not atrocious. The rest of it looks good to me. So, I'll make those last few modifications and get it to you completed ASAP.

Ah, alas, I haven't played that game, so I'm sorry for the misconstruing. Please accept my apologies

also, i was wondering if you would make the same person more than one sig (i.e. me)?

Rollerking, take a look at my sig in my shop or in the critique topic. You might like it because I made the same way as an animation

Dinkoman: Well I was wondering if I could get one with G&W facing off against Pikachu, kind of how Kirby and Mario face off in the beginning of Subspace, and maybe something with "Elmo" in the middle...if not no big deal just wondering :)

I have a request for a sig. I would like a pikachu with a green bandanna riding an F-22 Raptor, with elctricity radiating from his boy down to the ground (or just outwards if you cant put in a ground very easily). I would also like my name and the quote "And Thunder shall rain down from the Heavens!"

Actually, also through in High Voltage if you can. if you think this is too much text, you can leave that out.

Hey, Dinko. I have a friend who is probably gonna join SWF, so I'd like to make a sig for him. His sheezyart name is Datlan, so I'm pretty sure he's gonna use that name. He mains Luigi, so use this picture:

http://o.aolcdn.com/gd-media/galleries/281/a_Luigi1.jpg

Make the background have green fire, and the text something silly and Luigi-ish. Make the text green. The size should be the same as mine. Thanks!

Maybe I'll take a swing at raptor's request.

EDIT:

*Swinging*

2nd EDIT:

Finishing up. I REALLY like how it came out. Just loading it to photobucket now...

3rd EDIT: Done. I made 2 versions, one WITH High Voltage, one without. If you would like any changes let me know. =)

Version A:

Version B:

Hope you like it! (like I said, any changes let me know)

Version B is aweseome Rollerking. The funny thing was I was about to post that exact F-22 picture to be used. I do have a couple smalle requests. could you change the font to a cursive style like Dinkman's? Could you also take the symbol for our high voltage clan and put it on both wings? It doesnt have to be big on them, just noticable. Could you also shrink pikachu a little? I want to see how that looks. Thanks for your efforts guys.
