This contest won't be the same with out, Flash-Crash's presence.

True, but you never know, he might still be around.
I think he recently submitted some of his old ones to the ]ombat pavillion too.

It's not like Flash Crash is the best, or even close to the best.

Besides, we've had lots of contests without him and they went fine.

I say yay. I'll watch.

It seems like a good solid idea.. I personally miss seeing the amount of flash animations that where around her at one point in time. It seem's like a fading art style, If I knew how to do it I would enter but animation isen't my thing. So I say do it.

I'd enter in it.

Id enter if I knew how to make them, so I'm stuck with watching.

Sure id enter i already have an idea, just as long as tim doesnt use that chameleon animation hes working on

Kickass, TmsMK! I'm in!

Wait.. Flash animations, too? Or just Animated Gifs?

I think Tim would kick our ass anyways.

Thats the spirit to have entering this contest!

Hey, no fair!!!
Lol, well, at least if there is a contest you know what you're getting out of me, lol.
Still, we'll have to see .

Torchia Wrote: Wait.. Flash animations, too? Or just Animated Gifs?

I would have thought it would be both, as not everybody knows how to do flash animations, similarly that flash animators wouldn't be as happy with making gif's, heh.
Really it doesn't matter which as long as there is a resulting animation.

That's just a lame excuse .
Edit: I am going to make an animation tutorial so that anybody who doesn't know can enter . Especially you SST .

Well, so far that would be at least four entrants.
I would say that's enough, plus haven't heard from Shirt Ninja and I noticed there are some new animators creeping up.

In that case then, I'll talk to Crow about it and see about making an official one .

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I would be interested in hosting such a contest if I knew there would be fair amount of participants, and by 'fair' I mean anything from three to any larger numeral.

What sort of guidelines would you all like to see? Give me suggestions in this thread if you would.

~Crow~ Wrote: What sort of guidelines would you all like to see? Give me suggestions in this thread if you would.

Okay, my ideal set of guidelines:

1 - Animations may be either Flash (.swf) animations or GIF (.gif) animations.
2 - Animating a fatality/other finishing move set in MK1/2/3/UMK3/Trilogy using Mortal Kombat characters (sprites) (aka no SF or other fighting game characters).
3 - Animation should contain no footage of fight before "Finish Him" (except maybe one hit), i.e. the animation starts at "Finish Him" or as the finishing move starts.
4 - Only one finisher (no MK-Outtakes kind of thing)
5 - No advanced interaction (Flash) i.e. no pressing buttons to do the fatality etc. Only interaction would be "Play" and "Replay" clickable buttons.
6 - Nudealities/Sexualities/Similar Content disallowed.
7 - Contestants cannot vote.

Btw, thanks Crow for showing an interest .

Count me in, but give us some time until the "deadline".

I was gonna make mine start with a slam would that be ok?? And damn that suxs i cant make a sexuality like i did before

JoRdAnMaN Wrote: I was gonna make mine start with a slam would that be ok?? And damn that suxs i cant make a sexuality like i did before

Oh yeah, what I meant was as long as there's no proper fight footage, because then it's not really the finishing move that your watching.
As for the sexuality, I think you already learned your lesson .

Still, it's Crow's decision, those are just some guidelines I took from my last contest, heh.

I can't make animations very well, but I would love to see some! I'd love an animation contest!

These seem like the perfect guidelines to me. One last detail I'd like input on is the deadline. In the official contest, users were given more than a month to create their drawings/fakes. Even with that large amount of time, we were unable to receive any entrants in the fakes portion of the contest.

Should the time limit be longer or shorter? Thoughts and suggestions, please.

~Crow~ Wrote: Should the time limit be longer or shorter? Thoughts and suggestions, please.

I personally think a month is pretty much perfect.
It gives plenty of time for ideas on what to do and how to animate and to actually do it too.

That's my thought at least .

"without flash crash's presence"

Do not fear my friend for eric is here.
Im in.
