I miss pivot sometimes

[–]funbobby 13 points14 points ago

I used to spend hours on pivot as a kid, I was in the pivot yahoo group!

[–]Cameronious 9 points10 points ago

Those were happier, simpler times

[–]Soviet_Waffle 64 points65 points ago

The drammatic closeup was intense as fuck!

[–]duiker101 10 points11 points ago

I used to draw this stickmans fighting in the border of my books at school and scroll to animate.... great fun!

[–]thelospike 3 points4 points ago

Was it the op who made this because if not please give the original person some credit

[–]Spudymo 0 points1 point ago

Love all these fights!

[–]PostOfficeBuddy 0 points1 point ago

I may not have thought the show was great, but the bending combat concept is pretty awesome.

[–]JediMasterSam 81 points82 points ago

[–]Snoopyalien24 2 points3 points ago

Yeah for real, did this guy/gal just steal it for Karma?

[–]BriEnos[S] 35 points36 points ago

Nope, I didnt steal it from that subreddit. I actually found this on G+ and searched Reddit a few different times so that I didn't get called a thief. I just joined Reddit a month ago, so I didn't see that OP either. I enjoyed the gif, so, I shared. Thats all.

Edit: spelling

[–]jikerman 11 points12 points ago

Im totally fine with this. It was posted once before, 2 whole months ago and on a non default sub. I also like giving the OP credit, but this thpe of "repost" is fine in my book.

[–]Snoopyalien24 2 points3 points ago

Oh my apologies, you didn't know. It's alright, but JediMasterSam is correct, it is form that subreddit, made by a member while the Legend of Korra show was in full swing.

[–]wtfisdisreal -1 points0 points ago

Next time try karmadecay.com

edit: shit guys, downvotes for pointing out a useful website? Just trying to help the new guy out. I'm guessing he was using the horrid reddit search feature, so I showed him a better option.

[–]archaic37 71 points72 points ago

Does anyone remember Pivot stick figure animator?

[–]AuraofMana 118 points119 points ago

DAE remember Xiao Xiao?

[–]Nizzo 25 points26 points ago

hell yes

[–]TerdSandwich 5 points6 points ago

I was about to say, there's some stick figure animations out there that put this gif to shame.

[–]Jucoy 4 points5 points ago

Enjoy wasting your afternoon, sucka!

The link button isn't working for me so i couldn't place it so elegantly in the text...

[–]monkite 10 points11 points ago

Pivot used to turn my 12-year-old self into a destructive god every day after school.

[–]Khuskan 5 points6 points ago

Older than that! Stick Figure Death Theatre used to be a massive thing back in the pre-flash days.

[–]Koum0 1 point2 points ago

http://www.sfdt.com/ This place is still around. I used to love that site back in the day. Not sure if it still gets added to though.

[–]basmith7 7 points8 points ago

[–]Stampsr[!] 1 point2 points ago

So much nostalgia...

[–]SwedishFaggot 51 points52 points ago

Why must the black guy lose?

Rasicm

[–]moistlychortled 32 points33 points ago

Tbh I was a little bit suprised the black guy was the water bender... cause you know... swimming

[–]SugarPlatypus 5 points6 points ago

So you realized it was a waterbender but threw the fact that they're skin color is based off of Pacific Islanders and went straight for black?

[–]pulp_before_sunrise 1 point2 points ago

most racist stretch i've heard yet

[–]kalkerballs 6 points7 points ago

my thoughts exactly

[–]Dr_Suck_it -1 points0 points ago

Well when it comes to martial arts, race really doesn't matter, only skill.

[–]Ceejae -4 points-3 points ago

They usually win every other physical fight.

[–]Otirion 21 points22 points ago

Anyone else expect to see a fire and a wind guy show up?

[–]borkborkbork99 4 points5 points ago

Looks like they really cut the production budget for Legend of Korra.

[–]I_RECTIFY_GRAMMAR 7 points8 points ago

That is pretty fucking cool.

[–]Tentomb 2 points3 points ago

Wow this makes me want to play Super Smash Bros on the N64.

[–]crosky 2 points3 points ago

How does one make animations like this nowadays? I imagine there's something a little more sophisticated than paint and a rapidfire gif file...?

[–]skeddles 1 point2 points ago

Some people are mentioning pivot stick figure animator. I guess it's really made for this type of thing. Sounds old though, I dunno if it's been updated.

You can also use flash which is pretty awesome for animating anything. Might be a little harder to learn, and it's not as geared to stick figures, but it's definitely a nice program.

[–]TheNateMonster 0 points1 point ago

So the black guy lost? Subtle racism.

[–]JaapHoop 4 points5 points ago

Race war!

[–]flapsmcgee 1 point2 points ago

Whites win!

[–]Cameronious -1 points0 points ago

I would bet all of my everything that this was made using pivot!

[–]chrixko 0 points1 point ago

Aaaah I missed these great flash fight clips.

[–]anti_taco 0 points1 point ago

Gifs of fighting stick figures? Did I step in a time machine?

[–]Ghidoran 0 points1 point ago

It's weird that I thought of Aqualad before The Last Airbender...

[–]trampus1 0 points1 point ago

How was the water guy not crushed by the huge rectangular block that went right through him?

[–]frecheguy 0 points1 point ago

But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked...

[–]shabbytom 1 point2 points ago

Use "Dig", Super Effective!

[–]icyhotonmynuts 1 point2 points ago

Black guy always dies first.

[–]Bosticles 0 points1 point ago

This was better than the entire Last Air Bender movie.

[–]z0mbiassassin 1 point2 points ago

The earth king has invited you to /r/laogai

[–]losnow20 -1 points0 points ago

Percy Jackson anyone?

[–]z0mbiassassin 0 points1 point ago

No... TLA

[–]alecnunez93 0 points1 point ago

yeah, mr white, yeah earthbending

[–]moosho -1 points0 points ago

Haha very cool. They need Nicolas Cage faces:)

[–]RingAnswerHello 0 points1 point ago

Of course...... the BLACK guy dies.

[–]Biledriver 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of the fun things on the internet 10 years ago.

[–]rbot1 0 points1 point ago

the water guy was dumb. He should haven known that his ice wasn't going to stop the earth. Previously in the fight the earth guy destroyed the water guys ice tower with a rectangle of earth. Why did the water guy try to stop the earth with ice again when he knew it wouldn't work?

[–]Chenzomocco 0 points1 point ago

um i cant stop watching

[–]wake2010 0 points1 point ago

Much better then Shyamalan's version of The Last Airbender.

[–]anewname77 0 points1 point ago

fuck yeah!!

black people always loose

[–]DeadMan_Walking 0 points1 point ago

this is actually pretty cool

[–]Mann_Co 0 points1 point ago

This looks like Stykz, not Pivot.

[–]Aburritogun 0 points1 point ago

I love earth benders so I aproove

[–]hopeicanhelp 0 points1 point ago

no mention of toph or katara on this page???? WTF!!!

[–]NerdyHydra 0 points1 point ago

This is fake because water > rock in Pokemon.

[–]Lupus_nord 1 point2 points ago

I would love to see more of these!

[–]malakyoma 1 point2 points ago

The water bender had won with the wave if he had just frozen it and shattered the earth bender.

[–]citylikeAMradio -1 points0 points ago

The guy on the right can control water but can't swim? I don't get it.

[–]exparrot136 0 points1 point ago

Man, this takes me back to Stickpage.

[–]SebbenandSebben -2 points-1 points ago

SPOILER: Black guy loses.

[–]RotatingMaleCow -3 points-2 points ago

Reminds me of middle school, so many hours spent watching badass stick flash animations

[–]xerxesthecat -4 points-3 points ago

Whys the brown guy gotta lose?

[–]MaccyTheFurry -3 points-2 points ago

Of course, the black guy loses.

[–]Albaek 2 points3 points ago

I knew someone would stamp it as racism. This world has been corrupted.

[–]TrainWreck96 -1 points0 points ago

Strangely badass

[–]GobbleswithRAGE 0 points1 point ago

[–]YeahICanSign -4 points-3 points ago

Walter White vs. Gus Fring.

[–]QuantumPilot -4 points-3 points ago

Always the black one dies....

[–]temptingtime -4 points-3 points ago

WHY DOES THE BLACK GUY HAVE TO LOSE?
