sorry if i step on toes here, but i only got to read all the battles this morning & i didn't really have time to read others comments beforehand. carlito, everything seems on the up & up but there's still work to do. your anatomy is still feeling a little scrunched & stubby, but i think the biggest issue with this one is the storytelling. sure there's a lot of text in the beginning because you're laying out grand design for both your characters. i understand, that's fine. but the execution still dragged for me a bit. and then once you actually get to a bit of action, you see your character out in the crowd unsheathing his sword & then the next couple panels are tiny slivers of him cutting up the opposition. how did he get from the crowd to the stage? how did no one notice him with the swords if he walked? "why doesn't somebody pull out a .45 & 'BANG!' settle it?" bruce lee quotes aside, some sort of transition would have been nice. after showing him unsheath the swords, you could have started a fresh page with him jumping or something at the top, the slivers of body parts getting hacked in the middle & then end it at the bottom with a result panel that serves as more of a conclusion.

What i mean is, the build up is so good that i wanted more at the exact moment it ended. Felt like "it has just begun." Maybe if ya had MC speak a bit, even if one rhyme or the lazyman's  "blablabla" speechbubble it'd make a big difference.
7 days is not much to work with for some of us.

Just do what feels good to "you" while at the same time  implementing some of the crits. Like you did now.
For example,
previous fight i mentioned  recurring angles in a specific order can make the flow look stiff.
In this fight you mixed it up as much as possible.

Keep up the goods!

Carlito - this is a step up from last time mah man. Pretty clean. I'm digging the shots of the club.
Crowd looks really simple, yet it seems to work for you.
The use of gray is also a nice touch. The story had a great build up but ended pretty abrupt. But then again a week isn't much and everybody works at different pace.
Thumbs up for that close up on Lau's face on page two. Curious to see where you take this.

Josh - Too bad you couldn't make it, i really like the style you're working with.
Good to know you still finished and the BB is on the way. :D

Not bad, Carlito. Short, and ended abruptly, but still, your art keeps looking nicer.


By the way... is that bouncer outside the club Wei, by any chance?

XD

Josh: Upload early, don't wait until the last minute, you never know if you'll get some extra time, or if that last minute is literally your LAST minute.


Carlito: You're definitely getting better at these comics, you need to vary your angles a bit though, all too often do you stick to the standard shot from the front. Last page was a bit of a let down, I would of loved to have seen a better angle for Lau killing Mac Money. Good luck in the next round.

UGGGH >_<  well that's what I get for waiting til the last hour to post.
Good job Carlito, really liked your story, setup and pacing here. Also the inks were looking even tighter than your round 1.
I suppose Lau is not fated to die just yet!

Posting mine as a BB so you guys can read it.

I am attempting to upload now, although I know it's slightly past due.
I had a snowstorm blocking out my satellite internet signal, and it just let me back on.
So, I understand if the pages don't go up, just figured it was worth a shot.
