ABC X - The Voting, The Drama, The Fuckachunkz

ANIMATIONS

Top 3

1st “A Can O’ Fuckachunkz”

See Adam Epstein

LOL at this av! custom/edited sprites are always a good thing. I thought the punch bison gives popeye was too good, but then the raging demon AND the edits done on ryu/cable/sagat just pushes this av even further. He even manage to edit the “destroyed” logo as well. Even if you don’t appreciate the joke, you should give props to the amount of effort put into this peice. Good shit good shit.

2nd “Very Fuckachunkz”

See Adam Epstein

I like this one alot cuz it is fuckachunkz; a piece of worked centered around a retarded theme and stupid cameos. Everything doesn’t make sense. I love the animation on ralph, he looks so goofy. Not much more to say, its good.

3rd “Hi-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

See Adam Epstein

To me, this av has alot of potential. Its very clever. The eddie sprite with the red stroke makes him very dominant. It even changes value over time! The background at times shows signs of degration shows. Those frames should have been switched with different choices. Also, the border didn’t really needed to be there but since it is, it should follow the same process as the stroke on eddie. Its also good that theres no text cuz it really doesn’t need it.

Runner Ups

“Chunks N’ Violence”

See Adam Epstein

Though a great av, it doesn’t feel like fuckachunkz. Maybe because so little is going on. I Blame it on the lack of bkg/fg elements. Don’t get me wrong its a great idea, but it doesn’t stand out as much as it should.

“May Airforce One”

See Adam Epstein

A nice looking entry, even nicer that the artist took stills and made it animated. The cloud effect is great too. Even the quality loss on the sides of the ship look like mist riding on the sides.

“Low Tech Fuckachunkz Time”

See Adam Epstein

Crazy animation. I didn’t put it top 3 cuz it didn’t shine out to me. Nothing more to say but nice work.

The rest

“Fuckachunk’d”

See Adam Epstein

It didn’t seem much like fuckachunkz but it was funny regardless. The sprites were nicely chosen and odd enough the bkg made it pretty funny. the choice of colour on the border and text doesn’t fit the av tho. If you want to increase the quality on the av together, just cut that fast-track transition down a bit.

“Guilty Gear On Game & Watch”

See Adam Epstein

Interesting entry. I thought the slow, choppy feeling was a problem till I did a little research on Game & Watch. I just can’t help but feel that some sort of handheld interface should have been added for some of the no00bs (aka me).

“iAm”

See Adam Epstein

Yes, its an “i-av” but why is Q white? isn’t the ipod+headphones supposed to be the only white thing? with that side, this av reminds me of that Isuck ass parody in the previous ABCs, but more cleaner. Other than the fact that it runs a little too fast, and theres no ipod, its a decent entry.

“I Wanna Dance The Night Away”

See Adam Epstein

Floating, Resized sprites, dancing in a subway. Maybe a different choice of bkg might have saved this one.

“One Photographer’s Problem”

See Adam Epstein

Im guessing the photgrapher doesn’t know whether to take a face/titshot or take a tit/crotchshot. Its different indeed, but doesn’t really stand out.
EDIT: Is it just me or is this filesize 80k?

“Very Funny”

See Adam Epstein

Funny concept. I bet thats how most of you taggers feel in your request threads. Runs a little fast and more text should have came out to strengthen the joke. Not much more to say about this as well since its pretty straight forward.

“Vic Viper vs. Victor Sagat”

See Adam Epstein

Yup thats fuckachunkz. It runs a bit fast at the start and the end tho. The text shouldn’t apear while sagat is laughing cuz it looks choppy that way. It should appear before or after the laughing animation.

“Where Is It?”

See Adam Epstein

Simple, catchy and the bkg does a decent job. a border should be added to “close it off”.

Edit:Oh we pick 3
My vote is “Very Fuckchunkz” “Very funny” and “Chunkz and violence” for animations.
Stills: “A.B.A” “Chibi Millia” and “Dizziness”

Motivation?

Here I am~

STILLS

1st place

ABA’S CROTCH

Man I know exactly who did this avatar. So much that I’ll say this:

“I’ll bring EFZ with me to Breakdown, so I’ll give it to you there.”

That being said, it’s just a damn good avatar. The mix of colors, the choice of stock, the background, they all come together to make one excellent piece of work. Honestly I can’t say much else, save that I call first dibs on wearing it after the battle.

2nd:

UNLOCK

Great use of the sprite, plenty of creativity to be had here. The actual use of chains and key is just enough that there isn’t too much of one or another, and ABA being where she is just right. The end of the key frames the right side, giving it a great finish touch. Awesome.

3rd

ONE LAST TIME

I’m a huge sucker for this scheme (black, white, and red) and even bigger sucker for blood, and to incorporate both this well is no easy task at all. Blood itself is an extremely hard element to capture in still form, it holds a chaotic trait to it, that keeps one from simply being able to just put it on there in one shot. Regardless, excellent use of colors, the space is controlled rather well, and I love the blood.

ANIMATIONS:

1st

CHANNEL 41

Great parody of TBS programming schedule. Needs to be much cleaner though, sharpened here or there.

2nd

I Y’AM WHO I Y’AM

Very funny, great execution, great detail, just awesome job. Auto parry, Sol’s Dragon Install, Akuma’s Raging Demon, Ryu’s Shoryuken, Slayer’s Bite, Cable Hyper Viper Beam, Sagat’s c.FP, and Akuma’s post raging demon victory pose with an altered #R Destroyed logo. Cute.

Get a life.

;D

3rd

LOW TECH

Not bad, but the actual LCD symbols have to be much thicker in their outline, and the shadows they cast should be far darker, farther in distance, and off to the right a bit.

I’m done.

This sucked. Sure as fuck wasn’t worth the month long wait.

=/

so mr.punkus went awol?

apparently.

Looks like we’ll have to settle for 7 judges.

Lemme tally up the points, and then I’ll reveal the artists, and then I’ll say a few words.

…seriously.

So there you have it! Psychosquall and Bay 6 get Avatar on DVD. (and PS gets 6 months prem) OrangeCat and ToyRobotTerror get SF: The Movie, and TRT also gets a quiche’s choice music CD. ClouDC gets an OC’s choice music cd. ROBOTRON and Nastradamus scored the kitty litter, and Bear Ryoma gets a cookie. As for the cookie in stills, I’m not gonna ship that many cookies, so stills don’t get a cookie. i’m giving their cookie to Worthless Scrub instead, who dropped out with a 1st place lead. He’ll also get some prem or something to go with it.

…now to update the artists!

…rant coming soon!

…seriously!

Seriously speaking, you know what, i guess you’re probably right.

It was flat out unecessary for me to even bring into this ABC X all of the drama. I should’ve just left it alone, and judged my top 3 and left it at that. Cause in the end, it doesn’t even really matter.

It’s just avs.

I’m not and haven’t put in on any of these prizes either, so who am I to come up in here and do all that. All I’ve done was bring drama that looks like most but not all fail to agree with.

I should just be through with ABCs.

i bet he feels stupid now

My Thoughts: Quiche Reflects on the Meaning of True Fuckachunkz

Ok, for starters, lemme address the DRAMA?. Jesus Christ guys, I want feedback and all, as Slide has said, but can it wait til after the competition? in a lot of ways, this competition lost its fun for me because of all the problems.

About the filesizes: I really don’t see why everyone made such a big deal over this. None of the “oversize” entries had some sort of advantage that they couldn’t have fit whithin the filesize, and they were all too big by accident. Usually would disqualify them, but frankly, I didn’t notice until the last minute, and there were a BUNCH with size/filesize problems. It was a choice between disqualifying some of the best entries in this ABC (“Out of Order”, “Millia”, “The End of Justice”) or bending the rules a little in the spirit of fuckachunkzness so these avatars, which really had nothing that couldn’t have been fit under 50k, could compete. I went with the “more good entries” philosophy, which it turns out, was controversial. Whatever. The point is, I won’t ever be bending those rules again, so you guys can rest easy. you’ve made your point.

Akzidenz: You can now relax. I did not make the one with my name on it. OrangeCat did not make the one with his name on it. Frankly, I think that more work went into these 2 avatars (esp. PsychoSquall’s) than any of the others here, and not having them in the competition would have been a shame.

I have to agree with Chibi in a lot of ways. For a 1 month-long competition, there wasn’t much different from the old weekly ones. I’m shelling out a lot more dough on this one, and for what? Aside from “Can o’ Fuckachunkz” there’s nothing here that couldn’t have been done within a week. I wasn’t really expecting higher-quality avatars, so I forgive that, but what I was expecting was a better turnout. Frankly, considering the 3 themes, 1 month entry time, great prizes, and a huge mailing list with several mailings, I expected this to be the biggest, flashiest ABC, and quite frankly, I think ABC’s 4 & 5 and to some extent 6 beat it soundly in almost every category. I’m sincerely disappointed that I put so much time/energy/effort/money into this ABC, with so little to show for it.

I dunno what I’m gonna do for ABC 11. I prolly won’t be putting out prizes like this again, cause hey, why should I? I can get this shit on a weekly basis and for cheaper.

Bleet is officially added to my “can never judge again” list with Zandwich for his 1/4th-assed judging. As for the rest of the judges, DarkDragon was the best. Try to be more like him. Unfortunately, One of the things this ABC was really missing was a DarkDragon entry, so, like my other favorite judge, OC, I am torn. Why the fuck can’t there be any really fucking good judges who also aren’t top competitors?!? i also want to mention here that some of the picks were a bit fuckachunkz. “Mishima Steve” got no mentions? That shit was brilliant!

Anyway, this won’t be the last ABC, that’s for sure, and I deeply appreciate all the entries, particularly those from the folks new to these ABC’s.

…seriously.

my loss was not unexpected i didn’t have any inspiration had to force an idea out after i couldn’t get pedoburger to work

YES!

I knew Zazz made the End of Justice, I knew it!

~<3

I’m shocked at baiken Ricepaper. I thought for sure that was Eminent. Good shit TRT.

Can O’ Fuckachunkz:
definately teh best!

STILLS

Zato-One:
Should have won imo. :slight_smile:

Congratz to all the winners and good stuff from everyone.

av battle monthly is better than weekly, people will lose interest if its so frequent. Also people who aren’t very good with ps might need longer than the time they can spare in a single week.

regarding prizes, i think as long as one month premium is their for the winner the same people will enter. Regarding themes, i think more focused and specific themes, like booty, time, shoryukens lead to more creative avatars than themes like ‘guilty gear’ etc.

Good job quiche, this av battle has the most moans, but it might just be remembered more than other battles with better av entries. and any thread with drama, is a winner.

Well met, The Mullah.

…this went well.

“My Crap”

See Adam Epstein

“Sentinel Upgrade”

Recovers from shot to the gut

I guess you don’t play Neo Geo Battle Coliseum…the whole idea behind this one is the robot SHOULD be Cyberwoo as shown below:

http://cid.level-zero.org/ngbc/cyberwoo-pilot_stance.gif

but the little kid upgraded to a Sentinel. As for the backround, I thought glowing neon fit the “Technical” theme well. The border was probably a bad choice but I thought it gave it a “Techy” feel as well…which was the theme the av was based on.


See Adam Epstein

“May Airforce One”

Thanx, Iren. Too bad nobody else really saw it that way.

It was my fav board on GGXX, fav music too…its always in the back of my mind. Also, I try to think of something that won’t be duplicated by another artist…so when I heard GGXX, I figured no one would duplicate this idea.


Congrats to winners and outstanding job to everyone else.

Well, later, dudes…I gotta go poop in my new kittylitter.

Well quiche, all I have to say now is my bad, for messing up ABC X. And bringing in the drama that made this unfun for so many. It was kind of weak that Worthless Scrub actually DQ’d himself, i guess cause of me. Shit, who knows how long he might’ve spent making his entries i pretty much made him flush down the toilet, which was lame on my part. Maybe i just mistook how you and mostly everyone else goes about these ABCs.

I think that these ABCs go better when I’m not a part of them, I was kind of surprised you mentioned ABC #4 as one you liked. Anyway though, like I was saying I think i’ll just back off.
