Animator Ranks ALL Honkai Impact 3rd ULTIMATES

[@professorGoo]

HUGE shoutout to the amazing animators who worked on HI3. They made this. extremely. difficult. Also, I know I'm nitpicking these animations, but remember these are already professional, high quality animations. Mad respect to the animators at Hoyoverse, as usual!! See you guys at the next stream twitch.tv/dillongoo

[@crimsonraiderxv3422]

The thing is, these animations range from whenever they added animated ults after the game came out in 2013, to 2023. I know you had an objective approach, but just keep in mind that for example, the Fu Hua animation with the Phoenix is MANY years apart from Herscher of Sentience Fu Hua. That's why there's such a contrast in quality. Great video btw!

[@INTJ791]

Well for example yea, haxxor bunny initial ultimate animation is average but the selling point is the field support animation, because you count ice rita follow up animation, haxor bunny B

[@INTJ791]

[@Spyduck]

Yes. Honkai Impact's uniqueness comes from the fact that they keep a lot of the legacy, including early story narrative styles and simpler ults. Where most people new coming in would criticise with "what is this cheap-looking garbage?", the increasing changes in quality and animation starts showing as you progress up the ladders in character acquisition and story progression. I'm usually miffed with people constantly dunking on the early parts of the game, but I recall fondly the legacy that we have experienced, and I wouldn't want it to go away. PS: Also valid criticism of the old ults from around 2017-2019 perhaps, since those were "cool" for their time. You probably won't know this but some unique battlesuit costumes have modified ultimate effects, but you won't have access to them unless someone provides you the clips.

[@INTJ791]

​@@Spyduckreminder, honkai impact only availbale in smartphone until 2019, thtas why old unit is simple

Why would there be those black bars exist either way?? Like why do those even exist? I get it those black bars exist because then you would have easier time to read the subtitles in any movies and Anime but this is a game why would Mihoyo also decide to put black bars in her Ultimate too? Those bothers me i want the whole thing of it just full screen like every other Ultimates too

[@Aqua_Mp4]

@@Shadow82311it’s like a cinematic film where the bars sort of cut off part of the frame. Then it zooms out along with the bars disappearing that creating a more dramatic zoom out (is what I’m assuming at least).

[@genbearrrr]

reacting to all might be too long, but one at a time and commenting on it would be really cool!

[@KatarMilak]

It's great to see where Mihoyo's animations began. We started with this, and now we have Zenless Zone Zero, where the robot character has the most squash and stretch, and 13 out of 16 ultimates so far have impact frames. Mihoyo have always been amazing animators

[@roxas5071]

honestly im a bitch for impact frames but i feel like over using them kinda makes them lose value

[@ZECRA602]

Here's another idea for an animation tier ranking, rank the cinematics for Honkai Impact 3rd. They're legit bangers

[@ahatheaeon]

the main takeaway here is that a lot of these ults are just held back by the dated graphics. they have some great ideas but like you said, the facial expressions kinda pale in comparison with the newer games like HSR and ZZZ. still for a mobile game that's like what ? 7 or 8 years old ? they actually cooked.

[@izzyyheree]

I definitely agree! I can't imagine how good some of these concepts would look if Hi3 was made today.

[@kuvjason7236]

The game engine is also entirely different than what GI/HSR and ZZZ uses.

[@SilencePandaa]

@@kuvjason7236 nope, all 4 use Unity, however HI3 is held back by the fact that it still uses old rigs and is a mainstream mobile game + it's a really old game. I don't think Hoyo has ever used any other game engine but Unity. It just comes down to how old it is, what rigs they still use, and what platform they're trying to cater to. HSR and GI is luckily enough to cater to PC and high end consoles meaning that they can increase the quality without compensating for performance albeit Genshin's quality is lackluster when it comes to in-game models (that can be explained for many reasons though)

[@samlim7963]

That's why I'm hyped for part 2 actually, it's like teaching an old talented dog new tricks

[@Doflaminguard]

Not sure if they were cut out for the YT video or if they weren't in the video he watched on stream.

[@jokervankile6040]

[@wolfarmy_gaming9845]

[@GameMasterKyro]

There were *so many* that he missed. Wait until he finds out there are, like, six or so Bronyas that he didn't cover (even if some of them aren't that good visually).

[@Caunertron]

Looks like it was cut from the video. Look at where he's pointing out critiques for Adam's Ultimate. The frames we see is from his 2nd ult, despite us only seeing the first ult in the video.

[@eveakane6563]

15:00 going to comment here: I do agree with your observations, as despite the way reality works in Honkai, the animations still need work for most. Anyway, Carole isn't actually wearing her gauntlets, they instead float near her fists. It's actually noticeable in the victory screen if you end the stage with her.

[@SMKurama]

I remember being in the Japanese side of the community.. There was a meme showing the animated shorts for the game with the caption "What anime is that?" And below it, it says "It's a game." with Honkai's logo. Will always love this game more than Genshin or Star Rail, especially as someone who's played it for a fairly long time, the current features available is so good for both F2P and P2W. Also, I didn't think I enjoyed someone's reaction to these ult animations this much.. Loved it! Much love man!

[@TheSnaqShaq]

6:12 freaking KILLED me! That was such perfect timing!

Your insights into these animations as an animator are extremely nice to hear and I won't lie, I would absolutely love for you to watch the cinematic animations they do for the story as well.

[@Whyfoos]

It was really interesting seeing things from an animator's point of view. The way you explained how things could be better was really good. Nevertheless, all these ults were indeed really amazing and we all are a sucker for impact frames haha. Possible video idea could be ranking the victory animations?

Most of the ultimates usually do not stop the timer on fights and with every second your scores goes down, I want them as short as possible... unless they made them to stop/slow the timer, timestop is a thing in the game.

[@NightSlayer-DayBreak]

10:10 that is not her attacking backwards, she went and extended the claws towards her back, and swung it towards the enemy for more momentum, the whole three sequence of her attacks are totally meaningful, but the last sequence where the silhouette is confusing… i can agree with

[@krasusable]

Huh, never knew you were the one who did that Genshin Impact fanmade animation thing... nor did I know you also worked on RWBY vol 3. Smol world. You did a great job on it, and your Genshin Impact fanimation showed how much you've improved as an animator. Keep up the good work!

[@Yashkm7707]

all the animations are amazing don't forget to rank the ultimates of characters in Zenless Zone Zero

[@leaf3889]

Having less pauses and frames are important for those ults with no time stop effect on them sp the faster the better gameplay wise. That's why moonbeam is rarely used for her ult. For HoF she did have a short (broken) sword and during her turn the floating shards she has fuses with the sword that's why its long after her slash but its only noticeable if you pause it and know where to look

[@hharu___]

I almost never leave comments and this will probably get buried but I loved watching you analyze all the ultimate animations in HI3! I've been playing this game for years and years so I definitely have rose tinted glasses but it was really refreshing for you to look at this from an objective, technical stance. Most times I get distracted by the pretty vfx and colors but I learned a lot from your video!

[@WasARobot]

These are some fantastic critiques! I love that fact that you are still impressed by some of them even when they rank low and they way you describe why you rank them the way you do is so easy to understand. Even though I have no idea what would look good during any of these animations other than big sword go boom, I can totally agree with every point you bring up. "Yeah that totally would have looked better if sword/space/face etc." I think a couple of other commenters have brought up the same but I would love to see your critiques of PGR especially. Either way keep these coming, they're great!

In 10:57, it really wasn't done yet Bright Knight Excelsis has a special weapon, much like how Senti had the brick So BKE Durandal's special weapon is something called Abyss Flower Liminal Spiral, and that gives her a 2nd ult animation that shows a full moon in the bg so I'd say you try looking into that
