Yeah I honestly feel like this is super biased. Yelan really doesn't stand out any differently than a lot of the other characters. I'm at least glad he didn't fall into the Raiden path but still, feels biased.
@@truedarkknight0882 Saying professional animator made me think it would be more educational and less biased. The fact he said Ayaka's was way cooler than Ayato's despite them being practically the same is a bit disappointing. I was hoping to learn WHY the bursts were good or not in more detail. There's a very clear biased towards the females of the game, especially if you consider the fact that Raiden's animation really isn't that impressive compared to something like Cyno's which has more movement, more to animate, and a more dynamic angle. Also saying something like "Hu Tao's has more of a character driven thing" while not taking character personalities into consideration for others is also weird since it's supposed to be based on animation alone and not the knowledge of the character themselves.
They're all short separately, but when I'm trying to set up supports for my main dps (for example, Cyno-Baizhu-Fischl-Nahida) I get extremely anxious over how fucking long some of the ults can take LOL.
Xiao's burst animation is simple because the real effects are on his plunges and normal/charged attacks. The animation doesn't do any damage so it's short for gameplay's sake. Also, as Fontaine characters are the newest and their animations have greatly improved over time, it's likely their ultimates will all be S or high A tier. I'm interested to see how this list will look once all of them are released.
I feel like if you judge Keqings burst based on the effect that happens after her cinematic shot, you have to give the same treatment to everyone and in that regard Ayato should rank much higher. The visuals are so good to look at and fit his character so well. If you don't take that into account then Keqing's burst is mid as well as it's literally just her looking over her sword
let's be real aside petals and ripples, even though I like a lot of characters animations, ayato skill alone is definitely top 3, which is funnily, basically is what his whole kit relies on. our dude here goes through yelan whole kit and makes her top one, ayato skill singlehandedly outwits yelan whole kit animations lol it's so fun, so smooth and so neat and pleasant to just watch.
A big factor of why animations in the game can feel “too short” is the fact that the animations have to be quick because time plays such a big part in the combat. Due to this, it can be hard to extend parts. An example would be some people criticizing Zhongli’s burst feeling too long or slow. You’re constantly on a time limit in the game with so much off the content, especially spiral abyss where the time you take to complete it is what matters. This is why the animations can’t really be that long.
I think you need to take into consideration the animation effects a Burst might have on the caster's Normal Attacks or Elemental Skill, and vice versa. I noticed you did consider them for Miko and Raiden, but not for others, like Itto, Kokomi, and Cyno. The changes are very noticable.
@@alexprus7953 I understand, but when you make art theres a demand behind it, if you ignore these demands you cant think properly about the art, it would be the same as judging pixel art, but thinking into AAA 3D games.
Tbh Xiao’s ult is basically his normal, charged and plunge attacks. His animation on cast has no reason to be super hard. He is simply unleashing a power up
Yeah, the whole point of his short burst animation is because the casting of the ult itself at the start of the fight is crucial to his kit, which means it would be more annoying than satisfying to watch an animation of his mask appearing on his face, than to just watch him pop it on and go back into combat
@@rohamebrahimi7844 The point is that a lot of these have no reason to be so flashy to his likeness because *It’s not the actual burst*. Cyno and Xiao are just simple animation of transformations because *Their actual burst is the fucking rest*. Yet, he jugged all the same as if they had the exact same function like if they were all the same.
@@rohamebrahimi7844He judges things like Mona's effect, Diluc's phoenix or Keqing's rays very unfairly but not Itto's charged ones, Tartaglia's effects or Cyno's claws.

As a Sound Design student, I think Wriosthelsey is severely lacking when it comes to the sound. It is very impactful visually, but the sound is VERY lackluster. It doesn't have that setup, anticipation and pay off that you see in the animation. I feel like if they put more emphasis on that jet and impact, it would be SS for me. Animation wise, I think when he swings, they should've made the camera swing a little more harshly to match the energy of the punch. In game, it kind of just looks like a powerpoint transition LULUL
OOH you’re right! They could have made Wrio’s sound effect crispier. There is a sound but it’s not very noticeable or maybe bec it happens too fast? Because with Neuvillette, the bell toll sound is quite loud and you can’t miss it. Lyney has his own fun little carnival bgm during his burst (in animation and during his cat form)… Though I have been playing Wrio, and his burst is satisfying in combat haha. It feels like it hurts, from a visual standpoint. Sound, it’s kind of the usual ice swish blizzard sound they us. but i dont really know how they could have improve it.. 😅
I was wondering what was lacking. It didn't have that oomph, ya know? That boom shakalaka. That pow pow. That shababangba- Okay I'll stop. But yes, it needs some more. Just some more.
Yae has one of the best bursts for this reason imo, i never get bored of how powerful those thunderbolts sound right after her intimidating cheeky glare
We can't deny that Genshin really skimps out on animations though. Wuthering Waves completely blows Genshin's animation out of the water and both Honkai Impact and Starrail are much more creative than most of Genshin's. I see people saying "But short animations because abyss doe" to which I say, just freeze the timer whenever an ult is used then. That is like the most basic thing all modern fighting games do where the timer is frozen whenever a throw or a super connects. Heck I'd even say freeze or skip the boss wakeup animations like Maguu Kinky, Geo wolf boss, Hypostasis, etc. But we all know that people have been suggesting it and the Genshin Devs specifically (not Hoyoverse) never listened.
I have to disagree, Yelan's burst feels rather simple to me. I do like those more high energy bursts like how we see from Wriothesley Lyney and Raiden.
@@r0ode445an actual animator with bias that when making there tier list used other characters attacks to rank them while skipping cyno ayato etc the logic is flawed animator or not keep coping
especially with Raiden being so much higher, I definitely agree. Cyno has a very cool burst animation and while Raiden looks intimidating and powerful, so does Cyno. He deserved better
@@greybey4385 I love Raiden have her at c3 with engulfing and I STILL prefer Cynos burst more than Raidens. Activating his burst has such great pay off its impossible to not feel hyped so yeah I agree with you 😫‼️
You can probably name Neuvi's burst as: "old man at the nursing home with schizophrenia and a superiority complex" and Lyney's burst as: "Wannabe theatre kid from high school"
@@the-hw2um The difference it makes is that I prefer Lyney and Neuvillette's burst more than Yelan's. If you described their bursts as an "old man" and 'wannabe theatre kid" then that's on you.
She was primarily a 5 star before but hoyo made her a 4star instead before release. Thats why she has a burst animation and her C6 revives one dead character.
I just finished taking an animation class this semester and I got some happy whiplash hearing him constantly reference the principles of animation THEY MEAN SOMETHING!!!!
It'll just go better and better, they're improving their animation with each new patches, just look at how stiff Jean's movements were back in Mondstadt and look at Sumeru and Fontaine characters 😭✨
I wish you would've chosen footage that was not recorded on low graphics settings. On high settings on PC or PS5 the models, animations and particle effects have extra oomph and flair. You mentioned the close up of Mona's face model not holding up. Well, that was because these bursts seem to be recorded at potato settings. ;)
Silver Wolf would win Star Rail because she is the only character who breaks the fourth wall in her dialog, depending on whether you're running the game at double speed or not.
Some of these i don't quite agree with. I'm not an animator but i do think some of these rankings don't make sense to me. Like Eula being so high but then Kazuha who's slash and build up is almost identical, and then the field too added. Then we have wanderer where a lot is put in and you even said it tells you a lot, but that's A tier, but then Yelan's where the isn't really a lot going on, is ranked S. Same with Nadida. So much detail has gone into it and i'd consider it an S too
@@tartagliax804 I wouldn't say all his ranking is bias to waifus, but most of them definetely are. One of the thing I also don't like is how he lets Al-Haitham be in A tier bc the excuse of lack of movement in the burst make sense to his character, but then drop Baizhu down to C tier for the exact same reason (lack of movement, being only him swinging his arm like Albedo) but forgot to take into consideration that it made sense and in-character for Baizhu to only do that bc dude is literally sick/had weak physical condition and it would make less sense had Baizhu moved around alot in his burst. Also Keqing burst being S tier despite the lacking animation in her burst (discounting the after one) but then kick Ayato down to C tier even when he shares the same amount of movement in his. He loves Keqing after-burst animation but then immediately ignored Ayato after-burst animation with the water droping down and the pretty detailed water petals around him. He complains about a certain aspect of a character burst, throw them in a lower rank but then 5 seconds later he forgot about it and praise another character that share the same problem as the previous one for some odd reason and put in high tier (Also he just rank based on how flashy they are in some of the burst). Dude calls himself "professional animator" but then judge animations with pure bias and forgetting several aspect that he took consideration in other character but not the rest. (I came from the HSR ultimate animation ranking and my opinion on this dude ranking is still the same. Several character getting butchered to lower tier (B or C) just because it's not flashy (or as he like to calls it, "anticipating") enough for him. Although there's some that I do agree with, still doesn't change that I feel like half of the character there get thrown down the lower tier for some odd, illogical reason)
"Like Eula being so high but then Kazuha who's slash and build up is almost identical, and then the field too added. " He literally said that Kazuha's slash went by too quick while Eula's has better anticipation, he's judging it by the QUALITY of the animation not just what is BEING DONE, and yea there are some inconsistencies and sure he is biased but consider 2 things: he's streaming(trying to be entertaining) and he's fucking human, meaning ofc hes gonna make mistakes. Y'all are just being super picky
Y’all, it is literally just a tier list. No need to get so worked up about. If you have qualms still, make your own. At the end of the day, he ranks it from his own artistic perspective-and art is always subjective.
@@SpikoDreams tbh I wouldn't mind the tier list that much (dude can put all his fav all in S tier for all I care) but the fact that he starts the video with "as a professional animator" I would have expected a bit deep analysis on the character burst animation unlike some of the other because he maybe could have known more better on this kind of thing but ig I expected too much. (and to the other person in this reply, I genuinely don't know what does streaming had to do with making inconsistencies comment every 5 minutes but that will still not stop me from disliking this tier list. Dude presents his tier list for the world to see and there's nothing stopping me or the other to judge his own tier list (be it super critical or just a simple "i dont agree with it"))
I don't think four stars have worst animations, they just don't have the angle to support them. But if you look at the five stars animations without the angle, most of them looks weird af
Very happy about Nilou's ranking! I say it's so much better when her burst line is "All eyes on me!" because her commanding voice clashes yet matches her elegant burst animation.
I feel like this is missing so much when you don’t take into account every characters enhancements like you did for miko. Specifically xiao and itto for me but there’s much more
@@Juice-chan also calling someone the same when keqing moves and alhaitham stands still is quite dumb by your logic yoimiya and ganyu are the exact same and anybody with a similar stance is to
Yelan does sort of have a unique burst, but compare it to one like Lyney or even Furina bro and it has absolutely nothing on them. Her burst animation could be compared to Ayato's on how basic it is if it weren't for the pretty hydro effects
Cyno and Xiao's bursts have more effects during the combat portion of their bursts. So I'm not sure that's 100% fair assessment of them since you also took into consideration some of Raiden's active combat visuals as well as Dehya's full burst duration which includes her gameplay portion (while she's punching.) Of course, you don't have to consider the entire burst duration, but I'm just saying... I'd put Cyno in high A tier and Xiao in mid B tier when considering instead
@@ghostingspirit sorry, there isn't that's the truth. No one can objectively verify what is the best since everyone is just making an opinion based on their preferences. It's the same as what is your favorite color or character.
Nah nah. Neuvilet's animation better than Ye Lan. I'm not a fan of both but if we are chosing, personality over quality because it's a gacha game. And i can FEEL Neuvilet's status, presence and pressure. While Ye Lan... pretty and dicey - just ok, no goosebumps.
Imho liney is ahead of everyone else by so much. I dislike his personality and outfit and playstile, but that burst alone nearly made me pull for him. It's soo well made and convey so much of the character. I don't know why he glossed other it so hard
@@byrntoast8385 yeah..& we all know Zhongli's burst animation is one of the best in the game rn. It looks great even from 3rd party view. Then this professional dude puts him that low😅
Dillon, you should check out the bursts as a whole by effect (from a distance) and do a different tier list. Some of the bursts effects are fantastic, like swirling maples and so on
Tbh this is from an 'how well was the animation' standpoint not 'how good the ultimate' looked and Yelan just ranked higher due to the reasons he listed in the end.
@@NevaRthelesser Nah from some comments of his you can see clearly that he himself admits indirectly that he was bias, besides that his reasons showed that he was bias as well.
Honestly Yelan's burst animation is one of my favourites. It's simple, dynamic, looks interesting with and without camera angles. Keep in mind Dillon is a fight animation choreographer. Neuvillette's animations look good from a cinematographic and SFX PoV, but it's super lackluster when you look at the posing and transition frames. It's the complete opposite of Yelan where her entire aesthetic is stylish movements, while Neuvillette's aesthetic is stern and god-like elegance. Two different strengths that really can't be compared.
I cant name myself a professional animator, but I did animate my own models a bit as a hobby, and so I understand the process behind. And so, hearing at the start of the video "a professional animator reaction" I was expecting a strictly technical analisys of the animation. But, honestly, that was very biased toward certain characters. Placing Hu Tao in A for "character" and then B for Yoimiya when they are equaly good, if we speaking about "character" aspect of the burst and fitting it is. Ayato does not deserve C if we, again, considering "character" as one of the aspects of the final grade. Also, very strong bias towards Yelan. A lot of characters in A grade have better bursts than Yelan. So, as a personal tier list I wont say anything, cause thats a personal opinion I wont argue with, but that wasnt really a professional opinion.
@ Umm, Im not sure what it has to do with my comment, but Barbara has a 5* burst animation (with dynamic camera movement) because in beta she was gonna be a 5*, but then close to release she was demoted to 4*, but developers didnt have time or simply didnt care to rework her burst animation to fit it into 4* grade. Or at least thats a tale that was told since release, I dont know if its actually true or not.

@@YiorKha I know all that, but he said in the video that he will only look at the animation of the five star characters and therefore Barbara will be excluded regardless of whether she has an animation of a five star character or not.

Sorry, I'm from Germany and I take such statements very seriously, if you say five star then you should only take five star characters. Especially as his rating is unfortunately full of bias anyway. I'm sorry but I take such statements very seriously.
8:37 Barbara is a 4 star But sometimes I feel like she’s a 5 star because of the fact that she does that dance and it zooms in It’s honestly different on other 4 stars
Zhongli: Does cool pose Him: Nah he doesn't move, he just crosses his arms Yelan: Does cool pose, but shows armpit Him: BEST ANIMATION Eula: Does cool sword slash Him: I like this Kazuha: Does cool sword slash Him: NOT IMPRESSED Yeah the waifu bias in this is actually insane, you penalize guys for doing the same thing as the girls for not turning you on. That's fine and all but at least admit it dude
Well you did say you were biased about it so I'm not surprised, but my guy... Neuvillette's is better bro. I don't have either of those characters, and I can see that. Even Lyney's shows at least as much character as Ye lan's.
I think at one point, hoyoverse started changing the style of the bursts? Like the start ones like standard burst all seem so..boring but like now for example Furina is 10000x better, I wish they re-did the older characters burst to fit in with the rest of the new characters
The issue with Genshin ult animations is that they need to be short or they become a detriment, they don’t have Time-Freeze like in Honkai or a turn-based game like Honkai.
Some characters were placed *lower* on the list *because* they had *minimal movement.* Yet somehow other characters were placed higher on the list *despite* having *very minimal movement.* So...... doesn't feel quite unbiased to me hahaha ;)
Ngl I feel like having to fit the burst animations into a 1-2 second time window so it doesn't slow down gameplay too much is what really restricts some of the other characters' burst animations. Also if you ever plan on doing this again can you maybe do it with Star Rail? I wanna hear some of your thoughts on the ult animations there as well
@@STARZZgenshin the animations itself is around 4 seconds total, but you can start attacking again around 2 seconds after casting it, so gameplay wise, it’s still only 1-2 seconds

The fidelity is not great on mobile, which is the video you were watching for the animations, not sure if that would affect your decisions but just putting that out there
Raidens burst is still my favorit. I think it is perfect. she is swinging the legendary musou no hitotachi. It is absolutely fitting, that she swings it rather halfheartedly and it still completely obliterates the space and enemy in front of here. This lets the weapon feel so much more powerful. Also i would put Childe, Xiao and Dehya higher. The afterflow watereffects of Childes ultimate are not appreciated enough. Xiaos mode burst feels much more powerful than for example Cyno or Itto. This dark green aura and shaking hand is just awesome. And for Dehya use her burst by tapping the attack button fast, it just feels so much more satisfying and looks way better. It feels like she is getting in some kind of rage mode with every hit gettting faster. Also Wanderer is S tier. Pretty animation and extremely disrespectful towards the enemy as it should be.
There’s something about Wriothesley’s burst that tickles the unga bunga in my brain. I love him and Heizou for being catalyst users who eschew the “mage” archetype for being elemental brawlers, especially Wriothesley’s more aggressive boxing attacks and skill.
I love animation, but only doing this whit the "cutscene" doesn't help whit the ranking + for some characters have an élémental normal attacks (Kokomi fishes are little bigger and water effects are more notable, Raiden Ei has "her" Katana, Itto normal ult attacks change effects and has a spécial charged utl attack and I hope I didnt let other characters behind) But I understand why you did just the "cutscenes" elemental burst
i feel like making the genshin bursts not mega flashy and long is the point, its not a turn based game like hsr, i prefer them focus on the actual combat animations than just some flashy ult
Please bring back team commentary of your own animations projects again! I know it's probably a hassle getting the team together but they are amazing and your recent productions since have been getting better and better! 😮
damn checking hi3 hsr and then genshin ults in that order, it's pretty insane how subdued they are here, although it makes sense for a more dynamic and "friendlier" interaction
You have to remember that this is not star rail where they have as much time as they want for animations. Genshin is an action game and every frame matters because all ult animations are technically wasting time, you can't reallly be super picky about anticipations and stuff. visual effects, sound effects, and camera angles are way more important than the body motions.
Yelan? Really? It’s too biased. I’m sorry but yelan doesn’t come close to Fontaine burst animation level of improvement. I bet if yelan was a guy he would rank shogun as best burst animation lol.
I am currently working on an animation that has a moment similar to an Elemental burst. After trying to make one myself, i realise how many VFX go into one of these. I've added a few effects and the frame still looks empty.
Also, besides bursts, I do love that his charge attack is the same as Ayaka's normal attack ender, and his normal ender is the same as her charged attack. Lol Nice bit of sibling asymmetry.
I believe MC has the best burst animations. Epic cutscenes are bursts. Voiced lines are elemental skills. Funny facial expressions are normal attacks. Cool downs are locked behind quests though.

As a Sound Design student, I think Wriosthelsey is severely lacking when it comes to the sound. It is very impactful visually, but the sound is VERY lackluster. It doesn't have that setup, anticipation and pay off that you see in the animation. I feel like if they put more emphasis on that jet and impact, it would be SS for me.
Animation wise, I think when he swings, they should've made the camera swing a little more harshly to match the energy of the punch. In game, it kind of just looks like a powerpoint transition LULUL
TRUTH. Sound is a very important part of why Neuvillettes hits harder imo
OOH you’re right! They could have made Wrio’s sound effect crispier. There is a sound but it’s not very noticeable or maybe bec it happens too fast? Because with Neuvillette, the bell toll sound is quite loud and you can’t miss it. Lyney has his own fun little carnival bgm during his burst (in animation and during his cat form)… Though I have been playing Wrio, and his burst is satisfying in combat haha. It feels like it hurts, from a visual standpoint. Sound, it’s kind of the usual ice swish blizzard sound they us. but i dont really know how they could have improve it.. 😅
@@lazynull transformers sound? like the metal clings prob
I was wondering what was lacking. It didn't have that oomph, ya know? That boom shakalaka. That pow pow. That shababangba- Okay I'll stop. But yes, it needs some more. Just some more.
Yae has one of the best bursts for this reason imo, i never get bored of how powerful those thunderbolts sound right after her intimidating cheeky glare
did bro expect a whole ass cutscene
why y’all so mad
We can't deny that Genshin really skimps out on animations though. Wuthering Waves completely blows Genshin's animation out of the water and both Honkai Impact and Starrail are much more creative than most of Genshin's. I see people saying "But short animations because abyss doe" to which I say, just freeze the timer whenever an ult is used then.
That is like the most basic thing all modern fighting games do where the timer is frozen whenever a throw or a super connects. Heck I'd even say freeze or skip the boss wakeup animations like Maguu Kinky, Geo wolf boss, Hypostasis, etc. But we all know that people have been suggesting it and the Genshin Devs specifically (not Hoyoverse) never listened.
Well to be fair they pause the timers during the animations in wuwa@@sindreadella4569
zzz and wuwa cooks your mid game
True, HI3rd freeze the time in its very early days. @@sindreadella4569
I have to disagree, Yelan's burst feels rather simple to me. I do like those more high energy bursts like how we see from Wriothesley Lyney and Raiden.

And she shows her armpit. Cringe.
yeah tbhh its just really dimple ☝️
For real.

Bro pulled this entire tier list out of his cheeks
he’s an actual animator, why is your ego so hurt
@@r0ode445an actual animator with bias that when making there tier list used other characters attacks to rank them while skipping cyno ayato etc the logic is flawed animator or not keep coping
@@r0ode445he said “did he even move” for ayato when he put yelan in S and she barely moved too,,,
Cyno being ranked so low is CRIMINAL
Honestly!
That eye shine effect was BEAUTIFUL, its crazy good
ikrrr
especially with Raiden being so much higher, I definitely agree. Cyno has a very cool burst animation and while Raiden looks intimidating and powerful, so does Cyno. He deserved better
@@greybey4385 I love Raiden have her at c3 with engulfing and I STILL prefer Cynos burst more than Raidens. Activating his burst has such great pay off its impossible to not feel hyped so yeah I agree with you 😫‼️
Yelan's burst is as dry as Sumeru's dessert, Lyney or Neuvillette won for me.
Yeah it’s literally just like
*heh armpit pose*
Deyha should have won
You could literally give a bad description to every burst so what difference does Yelan being the "armpit pose" make??😊
You can probably name Neuvi's burst as: "old man at the nursing home with schizophrenia and a superiority complex" and Lyney's burst as: "Wannabe theatre kid from high school"
@@the-hw2um The difference it makes is that I prefer Lyney and Neuvillette's burst more than Yelan's. If you described their bursts as an "old man" and 'wannabe theatre kid" then that's on you.
Barbara 5 star confirmed
she gets the honorary 5 star
She was primarily a 5 star before but hoyo made her a 4star instead before release.
Thats why she has a burst animation and her C6 revives one dead character.
barbara gets a spot but no aloy u_u
Always wondered why Barbara had an animation, thanks!
I was waiting for this comment.
I just finished taking an animation class this semester and I got some happy whiplash hearing him constantly reference the principles of animation
THEY MEAN SOMETHING!!!!
Fontaine is animation powercreep.
they went all out in Fontaine in all possible ways, I’m so excited for what is yet to come, especially Sneznaya 🎉
It'll just go better and better, they're improving their animation with each new patches, just look at how stiff Jean's movements were back in Mondstadt and look at Sumeru and Fontaine characters 😭✨
Especially now that Furina is out and Navia's leak is also out
@@nyes4596Furina is mid wdym? Even Albedo looks way cooler than her literally just a clown fiesta.
Bro he NEEDS to do another one now with more fontaine characters released
I wish you would've chosen footage that was not recorded on low graphics settings. On high settings on PC or PS5 the models, animations and particle effects have extra oomph and flair. You mentioned the close up of Mona's face model not holding up. Well, that was because these bursts seem to be recorded at potato settings. ;)
now do this for Star rail. considering it's a turn based game so the animations get more time to be expressive and unique.
Silver Wolf would win Star Rail because she is the only character who breaks the fourth wall in her dialog, depending on whether you're running the game at double speed or not.
@@Lynemn Bro we're rating animation here, not their dialogue.
@@Lynemnnah Kafka and Jingyuan are better
Clara cuz Mr. Svarog
Spoiler: Win Yukong
If you make this tier list maybe a month later, Furina's burst would definitely be the champion
Oh yeah easily
Clorinde and furina slap
Some of these i don't quite agree with. I'm not an animator but i do think some of these rankings don't make sense to me. Like Eula being so high but then Kazuha who's slash and build up is almost identical, and then the field too added.
Then we have wanderer where a lot is put in and you even said it tells you a lot, but that's A tier, but then Yelan's where the isn't really a lot going on, is ranked S.
Same with Nadida. So much detail has gone into it and i'd consider it an S too
@@tartagliax804 I wouldn't say all his ranking is bias to waifus, but most of them definetely are. One of the thing I also don't like is how he lets Al-Haitham be in A tier bc the excuse of lack of movement in the burst make sense to his character, but then drop Baizhu down to C tier for the exact same reason (lack of movement, being only him swinging his arm like Albedo) but forgot to take into consideration that it made sense and in-character for Baizhu to only do that bc dude is literally sick/had weak physical condition and it would make less sense had Baizhu moved around alot in his burst. Also Keqing burst being S tier despite the lacking animation in her burst (discounting the after one) but then kick Ayato down to C tier even when he shares the same amount of movement in his. He loves Keqing after-burst animation but then immediately ignored Ayato after-burst animation with the water droping down and the pretty detailed water petals around him.
He complains about a certain aspect of a character burst, throw them in a lower rank but then 5 seconds later he forgot about it and praise another character that share the same problem as the previous one for some odd reason and put in high tier (Also he just rank based on how flashy they are in some of the burst). Dude calls himself "professional animator" but then judge animations with pure bias and forgetting several aspect that he took consideration in other character but not the rest.
(I came from the HSR ultimate animation ranking and my opinion on this dude ranking is still the same. Several character getting butchered to lower tier (B or C) just because it's not flashy (or as he like to calls it, "anticipating") enough for him. Although there's some that I do agree with, still doesn't change that I feel like half of the character there get thrown down the lower tier for some odd, illogical reason)
"Like Eula being so high but then Kazuha who's slash and build up is almost identical, and then the field too added. "
He literally said that Kazuha's slash went by too quick while Eula's has better anticipation, he's judging it by the QUALITY of the animation not just what is BEING DONE, and yea there are some inconsistencies and sure he is biased but consider 2 things: he's streaming(trying to be entertaining) and he's fucking human, meaning ofc hes gonna make mistakes. Y'all are just being super picky
@@levi0394 cry about it
Y’all, it is literally just a tier list. No need to get so worked up about. If you have qualms still, make your own. At the end of the day, he ranks it from his own artistic perspective-and art is always subjective.
@@SpikoDreams tbh I wouldn't mind the tier list that much (dude can put all his fav all in S tier for all I care) but the fact that he starts the video with "as a professional animator" I would have expected a bit deep analysis on the character burst animation unlike some of the other because he maybe could have known more better on this kind of thing but ig I expected too much.
(and to the other person in this reply, I genuinely don't know what does streaming had to do with making inconsistencies comment every 5 minutes but that will still not stop me from disliking this tier list. Dude presents his tier list for the world to see and there's nothing stopping me or the other to judge his own tier list (be it super critical or just a simple "i dont agree with it"))
"How are the Fontaine characters dominating so much?"
Well, I guess you can say...
*They're built different*
I don't think four stars have worst animations, they just don't have the angle to support them. But if you look at the five stars animations without the angle, most of them looks weird af
Yeah, because they are made to be seen from one specific angle

Very happy about Nilou's ranking! I say it's so much better when her burst line is "All eyes on me!" because her commanding voice clashes yet matches her elegant burst animation.

never let bro cook again💀💀💀
So far, I’d say Lyney’s burst is the best animation wise, Neuvillette has the best burst cool-wise and Yelan’s might be the most unique one.
i'd argue keqing is the most unique she does an entire routine
@@anakinsmith4770 no she was unique but now Keqing shares her animation with Alhaitham
@@Juice-chan and your point it must be incredibly good if it got used again
@@Juice-chan also calling someone the same when keqing moves and alhaitham stands still is quite dumb by your logic yoimiya and ganyu are the exact same and anybody with a similar stance is to
Yelan does sort of have a unique burst, but compare it to one like Lyney or even Furina bro and it has absolutely nothing on them. Her burst animation could be compared to Ayato's on how basic it is if it weren't for the pretty hydro effects
Cyno and Xiao's bursts have more effects during the combat portion of their bursts. So I'm not sure that's 100% fair assessment of them since you also took into consideration some of Raiden's active combat visuals as well as Dehya's full burst duration which includes her gameplay portion (while she's punching.) Of course, you don't have to consider the entire burst duration, but I'm just saying... I'd put Cyno in high A tier and Xiao in mid B tier when considering instead
yelan winning over lyney is so weird?? definitely biased sorry
Everyone is biased as they see it based on their own taste.
@@RyzenShanks i think literally anyone can see lyney would've objectively won there but thanks for being in character!!
@@ghostingspirit In reality, there's no objectivity when it comes to preferences on characters and their animation that people like.
@@RyzenShanks there is!! sorry if you're not okay with that
@@ghostingspirit sorry, there isn't that's the truth. No one can objectively verify what is the best since everyone is just making an opinion based on their preferences. It's the same as what is your favorite color or character.
Some people are forgetting and judging based off effects, while he is mainly ranking the animations of the models.
Yelan has one of the best character trailers but her burst animation is basically just a pose, i wouldn't even put it in S tier if i'm being honest
"THAT WAS WAY BETTER THAN YOUR BROTHER" damn that got me 😂
Nah nah. Neuvilet's animation better than Ye Lan. I'm not a fan of both but if we are chosing, personality over quality because it's a gacha game. And i can FEEL Neuvilet's status, presence and pressure. While Ye Lan... pretty and dicey - just ok, no goosebumps.
Imho liney is ahead of everyone else by so much. I dislike his personality and outfit and playstile, but that burst alone nearly made me pull for him. It's soo well made and convey so much of the character.
I don't know why he glossed other it so hard
fr i really love neuvillettes its my fav burst in the game 😭
yelan tbh doesn't beat any of s,a or b
“Completely unbiased” Lol- Personally I love Lyney’s, with the little ‘bleep’ with his tongue, and the camerawork, his is personally my favorite
Man, Ayato getting the shaft is just dirty, his burst is gorgeous.
For me , both siblings has very similar burst animations. They both should be in same tier
Yeah they certainly have plenty of similarities, and they both looks great.@@Kixzuki
@@byrntoast8385 yeah..& we all know Zhongli's burst animation is one of the best in the game rn. It looks great even from 3rd party view. Then this professional dude puts him that low😅
Never let this guy cook again
mid animations
Dillon, you should check out the bursts as a whole by effect (from a distance) and do a different tier list. Some of the bursts effects are fantastic, like swirling maples and so on
So you wanna tell me Yelan has a better ult than Neuvillette, I’m sorry I felt I wasted my 12 mins
Tbh this is from an 'how well was the animation' standpoint not 'how good the ultimate' looked and Yelan just ranked higher due to the reasons he listed in the end.
@@NevaRthelesser Nah from some comments of his you can see clearly that he himself admits indirectly that he was bias, besides that his reasons showed that he was bias as well.
thats why i dont like yelan, she makes plp become dumb
Same it was interesting to see the ranking but then he said shes the best and it just feels bad
Honestly Yelan's burst animation is one of my favourites. It's simple, dynamic, looks interesting with and without camera angles.
Keep in mind Dillon is a fight animation choreographer. Neuvillette's animations look good from a cinematographic and SFX PoV, but it's super lackluster when you look at the posing and transition frames. It's the complete opposite of Yelan where her entire aesthetic is stylish movements, while Neuvillette's aesthetic is stern and god-like elegance. Two different strengths that really can't be compared.
Bro is expecting a whole ass cutscene 💀
I cant name myself a professional animator, but I did animate my own models a bit as a hobby, and so I understand the process behind. And so, hearing at the start of the video "a professional animator reaction" I was expecting a strictly technical analisys of the animation. But, honestly, that was very biased toward certain characters. Placing Hu Tao in A for "character" and then B for Yoimiya when they are equaly good, if we speaking about "character" aspect of the burst and fitting it is. Ayato does not deserve C if we, again, considering "character" as one of the aspects of the final grade. Also, very strong bias towards Yelan. A lot of characters in A grade have better bursts than Yelan.
So, as a personal tier list I wont say anything, cause thats a personal opinion I wont argue with, but that wasnt really a professional opinion.
But 8:29 Barbara 0:04 is not a 5 star character?
@ Umm, Im not sure what it has to do with my comment, but Barbara has a 5* burst animation (with dynamic camera movement) because in beta she was gonna be a 5*, but then close to release she was demoted to 4*, but developers didnt have time or simply didnt care to rework her burst animation to fit it into 4* grade.
Or at least thats a tale that was told since release, I dont know if its actually true or not.
@@YiorKha I know all that, but he said in the video that he will only look at the animation of the five star characters and therefore Barbara will be excluded regardless of whether she has an animation of a five star character or not. He was referring to the fact that he wants to judge animations of the five stars five star and therefore he should only consider the five star characters.
Sorry, I'm from Germany and I take such statements very seriously, if you say five star then you should only take five star characters.
Especially as his rating is unfortunately full of bias anyway. I'm sorry but I take such statements very seriously.
I clicked onto this video and am hit with THE JORT STORM MUSIC :O now the only thing i can think about are JORTS
Definitely biased Yelans ult is no where near good as any of the Fontaine characters, imo I would say I really liked lyneys
8:37 Barbara is a 4 star
But sometimes I feel like she’s a 5 star because of the fact that she does that dance and it zooms in
It’s honestly different on other 4 stars
I honestly want genshin to redo the 1.0 5 character bursts cuz if fontaine 5 stars are these good just imagine shneznaya characters 💀
Zhongli: Does cool pose
Him: Nah he doesn't move, he just crosses his arms
Yelan: Does cool pose, but shows armpit
Him: BEST ANIMATION
Eula: Does cool sword slash
Him: I like this
Kazuha: Does cool sword slash
Him: NOT IMPRESSED
Yeah the waifu bias in this is actually insane, you penalize guys for doing the same thing as the girls for not turning you on. That's fine and all but at least admit it dude
Both Zhongli and Kazuha did it ugly, cry about it

Well you did say you were biased about it so I'm not surprised, but my guy... Neuvillette's is better bro. I don't have either of those characters, and I can see that. Even Lyney's shows at least as much character as Ye lan's.
Yoimiya is at least above yelan, she got done dirty with the pose with the most movement and she literally has FIREWORKS!!
This feels more like a ranking of poses than the skills behind editing and the effects tbh...
Yes posing is what animation is.....
@@haveagoodday7021In the title it kind of just says burst tho, not just raking animarions
@@ann_7 Dawg the animation is part of the burst you numnut
I don't see what makes yelan better than keqing or raiden shogun or neuvillette.
Imo,her burst animation is in same tier as itto.
Lyney’s my favorite. His burst is a whole performance! ✨🔥
I think at one point, hoyoverse started changing the style of the bursts? Like the start ones like standard burst all seem so..boring but like now for example Furina is 10000x better, I wish they re-did the older characters burst to fit in with the rest of the new characters
Yelan's burst couldn't be more basic...
Agreed as a Yelan fan. Also he's biased.
Honestly, it's basic. I love Yelan. But Her Burst is literally just Basic, not that Cool.
Literally. I mean it's the same as the basic hand movement but with more angle to of course... show her figure.
Idk. It look so coop. The pose and string
@@Daemonlord7372 Of course it is good but not enough to be in top 5 and in no way it is number 1
U did Ayato dirty
The issue with Genshin ult animations is that they need to be short or they become a detriment, they don’t have Time-Freeze like in Honkai or a turn-based game like Honkai.
Thanks for wasting my 12 mins bro. This was biased as hell.
I like this, but honestly I feel like your final answer is super biased. On a technical level her burst is impressive, but it has no oomph to it
Some characters were placed *lower* on the list *because* they had *minimal movement.* Yet somehow other characters were placed higher on the list *despite* having *very minimal movement.*
So...... doesn't feel quite unbiased to me hahaha ;)
Ngl I feel like having to fit the burst animations into a 1-2 second time window so it doesn't slow down gameplay too much is what really restricts some of the other characters' burst animations.
Also if you ever plan on doing this again can you maybe do it with Star Rail? I wanna hear some of your thoughts on the ult animations there as well
Keqing burst goes for like 3~4 seconds tho (if you don't animation cancel), it's no reason tbf
@@STARZZgenshin the animations itself is around 4 seconds total, but you can start attacking again around 2 seconds after casting it, so gameplay wise, it’s still only 1-2 seconds
@@SF3L Nah, gameplay wise most Keqing Mains who minmax her build (and use no healers) Abuse the 4 seconds of I-frames for dodging and conserving stamina.
It's super underrated bc the 4 seconds of I-Frames is MASSIVE.
@@STARZZgenshin I am not referring to s, I was referring to how quickly you can continue attacking after casting your burst. I said in my comment "doesn't slow down gameplay too much" as in how quickly it takes for you to start attacking again.
@@SF3L ah, makes sense
Nah, Xiao's pogostick should be considered part of his burst.
Same with Itto and Cyno
Barbara in 10x slowmo does the heart thingy with wink.
It's the most frame heavy animation in the game, they really put a lot of effort into this, you can even check frame by frame.
Love the movement
my favorite part of lyey's is that it puts the focus on his hat while he disappears, to emphasize the "misdirection" of the magician theme.
The fidelity is not great on mobile, which is the video you were watching for the animations, not sure if that would affect your decisions but just putting that out there
Raidens burst is still my favorit.
I think it is perfect. she is swinging the legendary musou no hitotachi. It is absolutely fitting, that she swings it rather halfheartedly and it still completely obliterates the space and enemy in front of here.
This lets the weapon feel so much more powerful.
Also i would put Childe, Xiao and Dehya higher.
The afterflow watereffects of Childes ultimate are not appreciated enough.
Xiaos mode burst feels much more powerful than for example Cyno or Itto.
This dark green aura and shaking hand is just awesome.
And for Dehya use her burst by tapping the attack button fast, it just feels so much more satisfying and looks way better. It feels like she is getting in some kind of rage mode with every hit gettting faster.
Also Wanderer is S tier. Pretty animation and extremely disrespectful towards the enemy as it should be.
Cool idea, would love to see a similar video for Star Rail ults, or the cinematics for Honkai Impact 3rd.
OOO yeah I haven't seen those yet actually, that's a good idea
@@professorGoo A blind/first time reaction from an animator's perspective would be all the better then~
Jingliu, Kafka, Fu xuan and Jung win easy
Love how surprised he is at Eula's burst when it's literally just a different element of Diluc's Burst
Eula has better camera work and anticipation, but other than that I agree with you.
There’s something about Wriothesley’s burst that tickles the unga bunga in my brain. I love him and Heizou for being catalyst users who eschew the “mage” archetype for being elemental brawlers, especially Wriothesley’s more aggressive boxing attacks and skill.
4:07 i don't know how you didn't realise most of the animation (the sky and the clouds) were covered by an in game object.
I love Yelan’s ult so much but neuvillette just hits diff, and Lyney’s is just so cool. I’d personally to neuvillette, Lyney, then yelan.
I think you should watch xiao's plunge attack before judging him
"I'll only do the 5 stars cuz they're better"
*barbara appears* 😅
Goo: 5 stars only
Barbara: I dont care
I love animation, but only doing this whit the "cutscene" doesn't help whit the ranking + for some characters have an élémental normal attacks (Kokomi fishes are little bigger and water effects are more notable, Raiden Ei has "her" Katana, Itto normal ult attacks change effects and has a spécial charged utl attack and I hope I didnt let other characters behind) But I understand why you did just the "cutscenes" elemental burst
i feel like making the genshin bursts not mega flashy and long is the point, its not a turn based game like hsr, i prefer them focus on the actual combat animations than just some flashy ult
Please bring back team commentary of your own animations projects again! I know it's probably a hassle getting the team together but they are amazing and your recent productions since have been getting better and better! 😮

Fantastic! Looking forward to it ☺@@professorGoo
good to hear, behind the scenes stuff is fascinating

Nobody could beat Yelan's armpits!
neuvillette looks basic compared to Yelan doing Bayonetta pose

i would love to hear your thoughts on the normal attack animations
I'd love to talk about the normal attack animations tbh, the ranking would look pretty different
@@professorGoo a fun extra factor there too is all the different animations for blending back to idle for stopping at different parts of the combo
There'a no way he put yelan up top😭
Lyney has so much more soul in his animation than her
Raiden under keqing? Yelan overall even to neuvillette? So biases😂
You have to remember that this is not star rail where they have as much time as they want for animations. Genshin is an action game and every frame matters because all ult animations are technically wasting time, you can't reallly be super picky about anticipations and stuff. visual effects, sound effects, and camera angles are way more important than the body motions.
Yelan? Really? It’s too biased. I’m sorry but yelan doesn’t come close to Fontaine burst animation level of improvement. I bet if yelan was a guy he would rank shogun as best burst animation lol.
Says that he is only going to rank 5 stars and proceeds to put Barbara in it
I am currently working on an animation that has a moment similar to an Elemental burst. After trying to make one myself, i realise how many VFX go into one of these. I've added a few effects and the frame still looks empty.
Also, besides bursts, I do love that his charge attack is the same as Ayaka's normal attack ender, and his normal ender is the same as her charged attack. Lol Nice bit of sibling asymmetry.
I'm obssesed with the bell sound in Neuvillete's burst
This ranking is great from an animation prespective, but it got me curious about how an effect artist would rank them
I believe MC has the best burst animations.
Epic cutscenes are bursts.
Voiced lines are elemental skills.
Funny facial expressions are normal attacks.
Cool downs are locked behind quests though.
I'm kinda sad he didn't get to see Chlorinde's, Arle's and Sigewinne's burst animations cuz they're insane
