They aren't even close. His animations were of the same quality of those made in 2013.
I have to say that what Cali just said in that last post is what this is all about. The effort. Cali is DEFINITELY not able to animate at Smash 4 quality. But he IS able to animate. He puts in effort.
You yourself certainly can't animate at that quality either, and no, no one said you could. You put in effort as well. Has your work improved? Maybe it has. It could certainly be better, that's for sure.
Trashing Cali about the quality of his animations, giving him "tough love"? Those do not make for improvement. It's kinda annoying and kinda rude. Instead, HELP him if you see things that need to be improved. ACTUALLY help. Show off whatever skill you say you have, and produce some cool content.
That aside I'm still excited for Bass and I can see nothing but good coming from future projects regardless of whatever standards are being implied.
