* BadassCrew: RHG Clans, most notably Nemesis.

* StarMakingRole: Several animators are famous because of their gladiator animations.
* StickFigureAnimation: One of the contributing factors to its success. Animating stick figures is easy to pick up and allows more time to focus on choreography and spectacle. Then there's the inherent appeal from animations such as XiaoXiao
