Here are the identities of our entrants, the name of their works, and my own comments about each of their wonderful submissions:

Entry 1 - @AceOfAces_Mod - "Fire and Ice"

Comment: the theme of the animation is reminiscent of a certain classic dual-tech in Chrono Trigger. The nuance in the off-beat rhythm and timing of the slashes really brought out the personality and uniqueness of this animation.

Entry 2 - @Melosx - "Contest"

Comment: a very creative use of two different elements harmonized by a great color scheme. The moderate length also makes this a versatile animation that can be interpreted and adapted in many ways.

Entry 3 - @boomy - "Bolt"

Comment: while simple in appearance, a lot of thought and effort can be seen looking at the placement and movement arrangement of each individual cell.

Entry 4 - @Princess Bananabelle - "Cross Slash"

Comment: an interesting way of using Laser1 to achieve the sustained slash effect and is a great example of how adjusting the angle of cells can create a refreshing take even with the same resource.

Entry 5 - @Llareian - "Flower Blast"

Comment: a truly imaginative presentation with excellent execution. The petals at the very end is an exceptional touch that rounded out and gave closure to the sequence.

Entry 6 - @Trihan - "Meteor Portal"

Comment: a showcase of meticulous craftsmanship and understanding of the features of the engine's animation tool. The rhythm and build-up towards the final half-ring of meteors is exceptional as well.

Entry 7 - @BCj - "Grasp of the Netherworld"

Comment: a great demonstration of taking two similar types of elements and adding them together to create an effect with a greater sum than each of the individual parts.
