Description This animation is about facing your barriers. In what ever you want to achieve. All the things that may hold you back.You have to know your limits or weaknesses, turn around and confront them. In my case it was laziness, lack of motivation and so I represented this as rust, (you get rusty when you don't use your talents).So I tried to confront it by animating more.

This animation helped me break this rust literally too. So whatever it is ; disbelief, lack of confidence, others telling you you cant do it, challenges. If your truly determined you can reach your potential by just confronting these things. Everyones capable of achieving so much in life, but they never think they can. Make use of your talents, your light, your true potential and be determined whatever it may be, all it takes is the determination to sacrifice and give all you have until you reach your goal.

As you improve and get stronger, so will the challenges in front of you get bigger,stronger, but overcoming these bigger challenges is what brings true joy.It is when we grow.

Even if you don't reach your goal exactly. You'll live a life without regrets. I hope you can see this. This was inspired by a famous Poem.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others."

β€”Marianne Williamson

5/5! This is absolutely amazing. I only have one nitpick: I LOVED the smoke you put in, but I hated they way you faded it out. I would suggest doing a slower motion tween or fading through particles. This is in my top 5 favorite flash animations! Keep it up!

honestly, these are the best effects that i have seen in flash. ever. the balance between flashy effects and real fighting was spot on, especially at around the halfway point when the styles changed. youre movements didnt seem bad at all, either. the song matched the animation quite well i thought, too. that was amazing :]

This is so amazing. The effects and background obviously stand out but the movement were very original. The combos and throwing in a wall jump to evade an attack, things like that keep me interested. Just amazing work. Cannot wait to see more from you

Caeldom In reply to ??? [2011-08-17 18:27:24 +0000 UTC]

Saw this on SP and now here, what can I say? Just absolutely beautiful Kensei, you've improved so dramatically. I can even see it in your animation; that as you did parts of it over time, your particles and effects became more creative, complex and amazing. That fire at the end, absolutely incredible. Even without sound effects, the visuals themselves pulled their part way over and through. I loved the backgrounds too, I can see you spent a lot of time and effort into them, which is what I love to see in animators.

Even still, some crit I can offer is your stick movements at some points are eased a bit too much, especially the beginning (not the slow-mo parts, they were great) which means they can lose a bit of the intended punch. And at other points they happen too quickly making them seem a bit choppy. But look, that could just be style, I dunno (I definitely think you've been working on it because I noticed the beginning movements style was similar to your part for the Sekret Collab, and had dramatically changed to a faster pace by the end of this animation). Besides, you've concentrated far more into the visual effects and the backgrounds, movements are hardly an issue!

Keep it up man, I look forward to seeing more of your amazing work.

KenseiT In reply to Caeldom [2011-08-17 19:54:53 +0000 UTC]

wow, thanks for the crit hah.

Yeah my movements were always something to work on I've been trying to make them better its just every time I animate. It's like 1hour on movements and then 12 hours on effects and backgrounds so I actually get rusty at movements because I don't do much lol.

And the beginning is just because I made it 3 years ago and also I was trying my best to sync it to the music so I added frames just to sync and wasn't aware of the slowness, but mainly because I wasn't as good 3 years ago lol...But I agree with everything thanks I love crits, please crit any other work I upload next. Thanks Caldom
