[Michael Jackson VS Luigi]

Oooookay....

This wasn't so much a "Guy 1 vs Guy 2" kind of fight, but more of a "Guy 2 beats the shit out of Guy 1", primarily because Luigi put up an extremely poor fight, if you can say he did at all.

Second this flash size is too big for the flash to be so short, did you compress this?
I expected an actual fight, but Micheal hit him like 2 or 3 times, confusing fatality included.

It could have been better if you put more time an effort into this, but this is just sad.
Keep it up, and next time, please do a bit more.

Weegee123 responds:

No, I didnt commpress it, Do I have to?

[Sonic andthe Black Knight]

Here's the gear you need!

That line was strangely funny.
Nice work.

Mizox responds:

0_o seriously? lol, really I just winged the whole thing in one take with no idea what I was gonna say and then animated around it, least effort imaginable to put into a flash and still have it pass

[Mario Bros. X 5]

Whoa, whoa whoa....

This flash is too short for a file size this big, did you compress it? If not then I kindly suggest that you do.
There was a huge backtracking scene with no option to skip it, which would have been great to do, especially for those who have already the previous one. Plus you lack a preloader, which is a staple for all good flash movie and games, I pressed the spacebar, and then the whole movie got glitchy on me for like 30 seconds, try and use a preloader next time. And also there was no entertainment value here, it was dialogue and what seemed to be insignificant plot progression, try and add at least one fight scene to make it all feel worth it. There were basically two scenes in the movie, the backtrack wasn't all that much of a scene, and credits in my opinion are exempt from being a scene. This seemed like you were too lazy to go further in with the story, so you called it a day and finished it up, not a good idea.
You animation was average, in movies like these what separates the men from the boys is the overall quality and originality of the fight scenes, which there were none of in this movie, again, your animation skills are good, but not very notable.
The sound was alright, nothing to really comment on about that.
Below average due to both your lack of substance and flash, try a bit harder next time.

Mariomeister responds:

i will, trust me!

[Link VS Mario Fight!]

HA! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Dude, no.
Just....no.
This is too cliched. I can't say it was good, for its intention, because it wasn't.
Horrible plot device, like Mario would whip ass over some mushrooms, and Link confusing a short blurry red and blue figure for Ganon. Just bad. The Animation was poor, very poor. You should work on your movie clips more, probably increase the framerate, find some better sounds, and not be lazy about it. The only way I would desire a sequel is if you actually improved greatly.
I'm not talking about some sort of SMBZ rip, but something---well---good.
Plus you should say "If you want a sequel, say so". What matters is if you want a sequel. If people didn't want one, would you stop and just leave this bad story, a bad story with a cliff hanger? Like the Super Mario Brothers movie?
No sir. Personall, you shouldn't care if people want a sequel or not, make one anyway. But please, improve on your skills.
You may want to reference my Sprite Tutorial, for some extra tips. You may find something good in there.

See you around, and practice please.
The bad animation was funny by the way, which is why my title is what it is.
2/5

thnx

[Sonic Vs. Shadow]

Not bad, though a bit overrated

You do have skill, that I will acknowledge.
But the fighting seemed a bit slow. It didn't keep up with the music you get in it, neither was it all that epic of a fight either. You effects were good, and it stayed kinda true to the DBZ fighting style.
Adding voice clips was a nice touch as well, but I think you chose the wrong set to use.
It was always, "power" this and "power" that, it was made too repetative and weakened the quality of the fight in itself.
I hope in the full version, the fight picks up, because if it doesn't, then this demo sums the whole fight up.
Keep at it.

[Super Mario bros Z ep.7 (old series)]

Great Work

Definitely one of your best, lots of good comical humor, more than your previous chapters, good depth in contrast to your other episodes, give the guy who concieved the pipe maze a good kudos for me. Great custom sprites as well.
Your music was more diverse and the fight scenes were well placed as well.
Geat epic touch in the escape from negative world.
And the greatest feature I saw the the fine mixture between spites and computer drawn images, great conversion there. We should talk sometime.

[Mario VS Goku The Clash]

Too GT-ish

It started out with a beam struggle--DBZ never started like that, it was always a fight beforehand.
Other than that, it was great--for a first.
I'd love to know where did you get those beam sprites.

[MegaMan X-Armors]

Well.

The concept was good, but misleading. I thought you were going to make a story out of this, then it aburptly ends. Your animation was bad. I can't use a better word.
Other than the running and flying, the movie clips moved in the instance that they should stay still. Shadow Armor X does not go in circular motion when using the Saber. Please work on that part. The key asset to sprite animation is animating the sprites right.
Other than that, it was good. I'd like to see you make a story out of this.

virajoshi responds:

Thank you very much for your encouraging response to "MegaMan X: Armors". In my next animation, you shall see those improvements. Thank you again.

[Sonic: Angel Island Part1]

Hm...

Its good, your animation is much better than most, your fight scene has some originality in it an dyou get more points for that. The music from Shadow the Hedgehog was also enjoyable. But your flash was waaaay too short. If you wanted a mid to long term flash series, I recommend sitting down and making a full-thought-out story and dividing it for each chapter--that is if you haven't. If you have then nevermind.
Good job, your only real problem was the lack of dialogue and the legnth of the flash itself.

Lizam4 responds:

Thanks for all the pointers and kind reviews. To be honest i started working on this late last year as more of a test animation to practice sprite animation skills in flash. Over time i expanded on it and ended up developing it further than i thought. Thats why i never had a plot/story to begin with. As you can see it just started off with sonic running forward for the first 30 sec - 1min, but i slowly improved towards the end and i involved more action with zooms etc.

All your comments i have taken into account a lot and will definately be put forward towards my next project. Thanks again!
