I'd vote for ThemeManXX. It was pretty fluid and the commentary worked well. I think there should probably be a few more frames at the end (maybe a pinfall) to finish it? But yup!
I would have voted for the Shooting Star but I disliked the sudden floating into a Shooting Star - It wasn't terrible though, he did attempt the take off and nailed it quite well.

ThememanXX : Animation was pretty good ,but at the beginning springboard was a bit messed up but it did not affect the flow. The Airtime and Punch really made the Whole animation stand out. I also absolutely crave those good joint movements. Very well done.
Ozzy : Everything was great , but the airtime Bourne got was a bit too much , but it was good all enough. I also love the joint movements on Cesaro too.
Vote: ThememanXX Why: Ozzy's animation was flawless no doubt, but it looked like Thememan's had more effort to make it a good animation.

Wow.
ThememanXX: Nice to see you animating again! Very nice animation you have here. The lighting was good and consistent as usual. The flow was very nice and it was smooth. Not very stiff at all. The bend from Sin Cara could've been better. I liked how the moved the joints and how you moved both figures throughout the entire animation. I liked the added sound and the catch was very nice. The Swiss death was pretty good, although I felt it could've been higher up instead of lower. Sin Cara's fall seemed somewhat awkward to me but it was smooth and Cesaro's movements were nice. Overall a very nice animation from you.
Showoff: Also, a great animation. The lighting was nice and consistent, as was Thememan's. Bourne knee bend was good, but I felt it needed more of it to gain more momentum. The movements were very realistic and the airtime was nice. Although, there was just something about it that bugs me. I can't put my finger on it. The reaction from Cesaro was very good but it seemed Bourne bounced up twice which was weird in my opinion.
Vote: ThememanXX

ThememanXX: Really like this animation. The joint movement was nice, and it was very smooth. Not stiff really at all. I feel Sin Cara could've gone higher in the air, but that's just me. Really nice. Added sound was a nice touch.
Showoff: Nice ani. As KKD said, the lighting was nice. The knee bend on Bourne was nice. But, IMO, it seemed kinda floaty and that made it look really off.
VOTE: ThememanXX

Havent voted or done anything here in a while..
ThememanXX: Nice animation first off. I thought that Sin Cara was fidgity before he made the leap onto the ropes. I like the way that Cesaro caught Sin Cara. I thought that Cesaro was a little stiff during the uppercut. The taunt was pretty nice to add a little flavor to it. It had a rope bounce but I had to replay it twice to notice it. It just seemed like it was missing a pic or two. Very nice animation though, I really enjoyed it.
Ozzie: I havent been here in a while, your style seems familiar... Anywho, The jump was great and the motions in the air looked spot on. The only thing I could really point out that bothered me, was the lighting. I loved the reactions of both Cesaro and Bourne. The rope bounce looked nice and could definitely tell that there was impact to it. Very smooth and not stiff in any part.
ThememanXX: 8/10 Ozzie: 8.5/10
One thing I kept in mind is that it was a freestyle stipulation. These ones were always hard for me to vote on. Freestyle is whatever you want it to be. No one said you had to do and easy or difficult move. You choose what you want to.
Ozzie stuck with simplicity and it payed off. Best of luck to both of you and glad to see that the people that are still here are still at this hobby.

Thememan: Nice animation here but there was a few things i didnt like. Firstly, sin caras feet were very slidy before he took off for the springboard. Maybe secure them with blue tack? the springboard was nice and fluid as was the turn but the way cesaro caught him looked awkward to me im sorry man just something about it seemed off :/ nice uppercut but i think the fall sin cara had after impact was a touch floaty. Great effort tho one of your best anis i think? 7.5/10
showwoff: Nice animation here bro. for a freestyle ani it kinda sucked how you only did an ssp however you executed it well which was nice to see. The movements were excellent and i loved the imapact/reaction. not much else to say on it realy other than it was very fluid so nice job. 8/10
Vote: showoff

ThememanXX : Nice creativity as always, the build-up was a nice touch. The little squat before the jump was a little bit fidgety, but the jump (splash?) made up for it. You made sure to bend the joints well throughout the whole move which paid off. The lift and the actual uppercut connected really well. Sin Cara's oversell looked realistic and to me, it made the whole ani. A bit of fidgetiness & choppiness was noticed but doesn't affect the outcome. Well done!
Showoff : Super smooth ani, you took a perfect amount of frames. I liked the way you bent Bourne's joints, it made the ani look quite realistic. The air time seemed pretty good, and everything flowed well. Didn't notice a lot flaws besides the reaction which could use some work (it looked a bit delayed and unrealistic) but a solid animation overall.
tbh, I'm kinda disapointed of Showoff's move because it's a WHC match - you should've put more effort in making something a bit harder. ThememanXX, you did a great job, this is one of my favorites from you, but I vote for Showoff because the ani flowed better and had less flaws.

ThemeMan: I liked this ani from you. the whole thing had a pretty good flow to it. the knee bend was fidgety which made it look weird but the springboard itself was nice and smooth. before the catch, Cesaro was fidgety so I suggest putting tape on the feet so it does'nt move alot (I have problems with that too, lol) the turn onto cesaro was also smooth if anything a tiny bit fast and maybe you could've exaggerated the joints a bit more but it was still good. The catch/throwup was very good. it was smooth and had a good speed. I would've only suggest to bend cara's legs a bit more in the beggining of the throw up to show the momentum and to again move the joints just a bit more to make it look perfect. the uppercut itself was very good. it was smooth and I could really feel the impact. tbh, I really loved the reaction, it was my fav part of the ani. It was smooth with good joint movement and just overall looked great and that rope bounce was a nice touch. This was a very good ani, just some very minor flaws here and there but really, who doesn't have those. - 7/10
Showoff: another great ani from you. the overall flow and smoothness of this was very good and a bit better than ThemeMan's. what really killed it was the creativity and some other minor flaws. I felt that there should have been more of a knee bend to get the momentum since it kinda looked like he just floated up. the SSP itself was very smooth but if anything a tiny bit stiff, it still flowed well. the reaction was pretty good and was smooth but a bit fidgety and I felt that it lacked a bit more impact although Cesaro's movements on the mat before the impact were smooth( maybe could have move him a bit more. imo). the rope bounce was a nice touch, too. the whole animation flowed very well but I didn't like the simplicity of it, I felt you could have done something better but the ani was still good. - 6.7/10
really good match here guys! Vote - close but I'm gong with ThemeMan on this one

It seem like everyones currently in the Thememan dickfest. Yes his animation was good but it wasn't better than ShowOff's. This is really unfair because all this hype for Thememan is ruining Ozzys chance.
Ozzy: The squat wasn't the best you've done, it needed more frames and he needed to go lower so there was more of a jump, as for the SSP itself it looked like he floated forward half way through the back flip with little movement and it made that part look floaty. When he hit Cesaro I felt he should have fallen down faster and that there should of been more of an impact. The rope shake like Thememan's wasn't very good, you had to ropes that bounced a fairbit but the ropes at the back barely bounced at all which made the impact look weaker. Cesaro was also a little fidgety on the impact as he moved forward a tiny bit on impact making it look unrealistic. The reaction was good but there wasn't much of it which also didn't help sell the move. However I feel yours is smoother and flowed the best out of the 2 which is why you're getting my vote. Rating: 8/10
Thememan: At the very beginning just before Sin Cara jumped on to the middle rope his feet were very fidgety, I found it as a distraction and it lessened the quality of the animation for me, the 180 turn was nice how ever I feel that once he had about a 90 degree turn everything went bad for the next 90, because the second half of the turn looked like it was just 3 pictures. As for the move, when Cesaro is holding Cara up in the air it looked extremely unrealistic because there was no mass to Sin Cara, if you had just made Sin Caras chest bend and make it look as if he had gone limp it would of been so much better! As for the move and the reaction, I felt the execution of the move was good but the reaction was definitely delayed, he should have started spinning the 2nd frame that Cesaro hit him. As for the rope bounce, didn't really like it, it started off good but then you just have a few wild frames in there where they're all over the place which once again, lessens the quality of the animation in that part. Rating: 7/10
My vote: Ozzy
I've seen better from both of you.

Going to keep this short.
Showoff - Doing an SSP for freestyle was pretty safe so down on creative points. You did do it pretty well. Knee bend seemed a tad off more me here, especially for the subsequent height gained. Air time felt a bit too much making it a tad floaty in mid air for me. impact was good, so was joint movements.
TheTheman - Good Job. I didnt like the bit before the moonsault, it looked kinda fidgety but it didnt really effect the move that much. Love the air time of the move and the catch. The realism was also very good in most parts however, I wish he could have connected with the move a bit higher up. The move had nice impact and the reaction was just a tad weird to me.
This is pretty tough to vote on actually, Theman had a pretty good animation in general here and I can see he put more effort into his, however, Showoff went pretty simple, but also had some pretty crucial flaws for the execution of a pretty simple move. As I said it is tough but I just have to vote Showoff here.

ThemeManXX : Nice to see you back and shaking things up! First off, Cesaro looked fidgety at the start, or slidy would be a better word, as Cesaro's feet moved a bit, also Sin Cara was kinda fidgety during the squat, i felt that head turn wasn't needed and looked kinda weird, nice jump to the ropes and off the ropes, but i felt that Sin Cara kinda overshot it, jumped too far, and because of that the catch and throw by Cesaro looked really weird and not realistic, but i like the uppercut movements, Sin Cara sold it pretty good, but i felt that turn in the air was too fast and Cara kinda went forward instead of falling, but i like the impact and the taunt by Cesaro at the end. Good job. Forgot to say the whole thing was pretty smooth and not stiff. Ozzy : MAKE THE FIRST AND LAST FRAMES LONGER Pretty nice animation, squat by Evan looked very efortless and very fast, movements were kinda not right, but that's the only bad part IMO. Everything next was pretty good, the movements in Shooting Star Press are awesome, i really like how you went for that kind of SSP where he "grabs" or touches his legs with his arms you know, always makes the move look beautiful, i also like how Cesaro moved on the ground, there wasn't a lot of movement but it was good, i like the impact part, how both figures are moving through that part, but i felt that a rope shake would help a lot in this one, but i understand that it's because of ring. Overall, nice animation, but could've been better. So, vote goes to ShowOff, for having a better flow & a bit better movements.

ThemeManXX: Nicely done, the animation didn't have a great flow during the part where Cesaro caught Cara in mid-air, looked quite floaty at that point, besides that it had a nice flow with a good amount of pictures, Cara could've used some more joint movement during the part where he was caught in mid-air, the pop up too seemed quite stiff, reaction was lacking, Cara could've done something after the impact, but I understand the theory behind a dead reaction, lighting was pretty good but I saw one or two flickers, didn't see any string, nicely done. 6.5/10 Showoff: Nicely done here Ozzy, had a great flow through-out with a perfect amount of pictures, flow during the reaction where Bourne kinda bounced twice wasn't great but besides that it was good, joint movement was really good in mid-air, you perfectly captured Bourne's movements in mid-air, nothing to complain about in that matter which is really impressive even for a simple animation like this, reaction was alright but I wasn't a fan of how Cesaro kicked up his lower legs instead of kicking up both legs, lighting was good but I didn't see any string, nicely done. 7.5/10

Nice to see such a good amount of votes on this match. Makes the people involved in the match happy so they get the right outcome and also its nice to see the board back alive again. Must've been Thememann's promo that sparked a light inside everyone's little voting heads...Great Match you two.
