"I'll completely support any accusations"

submission: Ryu and Ken vs Makoto

date: June 17, 2008

Even though I've made sprite movies myself and I know how challenging it is/isn't, I have to say this is only a half decent one.

You don't really have a grasp on the whole "v-cam" thing, especially since whenever you zoom in or pan something, you distort your image. Sadly, that's easily avoidable by scaling the cam and not resizing(hold in shift when you resize). That's just a minor yet bothersome detail to me.

As far as originality goes, I actually read your author's notes *gasp* or rather, where they should be. Instead, it's you complaining about other people's complaints about how your work is unoriginal, which it is, unfortunately. You even get pissy about how people accuse you of ripping ideas from Proxide(which was my first thought when you had the feaux-menu pop up, considering it looks just like his exactly, just less photoshopped and more flashed).

Overall, yes, the sprites looked nice, but you really didn't have much plot to your movie, and I felt I should have watched some sort of prequel or had a backstory. Your spelling is atrocious(ex. "jeperdizing" instead of "jeopardizing") and you grammar is horrible(Not capitalizing names and first words of a sentence, using commas(or lack thereof)), and in general it was poorly written for what dialog there was.

As far as you bashing on Proxide, he only notes one other movie that "inspired" him to make his own, but he never claims originality. He might not have been the first, but similar to Alvin-Earthworm, he has taken his other abilities outside of Flash and incorporated them into an interesting and creative story, none of which you have.

You didn't make any of the art, really, except for the poorly made menu(which I think you used a stock button on anyways). The sprite animation was decent, but nothing special, seeing as everything was standard or stock, nothing personally created.

Overrall, it's a pretty bad movie for you to get so huffy about it.

No matter what you think your movie "deserves", it's going to get the score it warrants from voters. Contrary to what some people have said(Jackosender), this movie is somewhere on the low end of decent and nowhere near awesome. This is NOT Top 5 quality, this is NOT Frontpage quality, and you should really try harder next time when you want something. Putting in more effort usually yeilds better results, especially art-wise.

My Protip: Learn to use Photoshop for menus and special effects. Not only is Flash not really capable of making a sexy menu, it's really only good for coding it and putting some animation into it. As far as special effects, there's no need to get so heavy-handed with them, but stock effects are quite bring and it's nice to see variety.

You get a "meh" rating. 2/5.

I think I voted lower because I felt your movie score was inflated and I wanted to lower it, which I did.

Good luck next time.

Cute, simple and funny.

The art style also had a very Dan Paladin feel to it.

I was gonna be like "WTF, YOU FUCKING STOLE THIS" and then it was a headshot.

I doubt anyone has actually seen this on his dA.

Nice twist though. I lol'd.

"Not that good, I'm afraid"

submission: Stupid Mario Bros. 3

date: May 30, 2008

First, you need to learn how to edit sprites using Flash and/or Photoshop or MSPaint. The sun thing was horrible.

Your "Inbetweeners" were pretty bad, there should be somethingto keep me interested.

All the "special effects" you did were bad. Luigi's head in the first part was attrocious. The eyes... So easy to make.

The animation was decent, but not fluid enough really. To that note, learn how to use the Ease command, that'll make things nicer when you figure it out.

All in all, it was unoriginal and not very well done.

2/5

"Amazing, but..."

submission: Naruto Super Dub

date: May 30, 2008

Not a Flash movie.

I love you guys in a completely non-homosexul way(for another month or so, then it can be as gay as you want), but seriously.

As awesome as this dub is and as hard as I laughed, this is not a Flash movie.

Sorry.

I'm not the only person who listens to Lords of Acid.

Anyways, great artwork, smooth animation, and a hilarious song to do.

I do not fucking dance like that.

"Not too bad, but..."

As it's been pointed out, yeah, NG isn't the place for test runs.http://www.newgrounds.com/ngmag/
alphas/That would be where to sumbit something for crit. That, or go to the Reg Lounge in the Flash Forums. We'll give you fair crit.In general, it's not a bad movie (so far). I think Peach could be a *little* bit sexier, knowing how the actual video is, and the lip syncing is off (expected for a WIP).Even though it's decent, unless it's something like a 3/4 finished game for testing an online engine, WIPs and Betas are *supposed* to be on the main site. Just FFR

"Did you have to be so goddamn funny?"

submission: Big NG Package

date: May 6, 2008

At time, you looked like Keanu Reeves.

I also think I peed myself a little bit when you ate the peanut.

Even if it's not a "true" Flash movie, it was fucking epic.

Great shit man.

Now if only I could get a camera with decent quality...

"It has a good concept, but it's not original"

submission: Colorfill

date: May 3, 2008

I've played a game like this before.

It was on the Broken Saints website.

I have a few qualms about the game, though overall it was good.

- The music isn't that great. Something a bit more interesting would be nice.
- The graphics were kinda dull, they didn't stand out a lot. Someone previous to me mention brighter colors, and I wholly agree.
- To keep the level of challenge up I would say that you can't kill the enemy, that doing that should make you lose a life/the level.
