Wow!

This animation was very good and halarious! I'm glad to see that a bunch of effort went into this -- it's apparent! You have some good skills as an animator and as a director to make something this funny and well done on your first time! You have talent, and look like a very promising artist. With skills like this on your first animation, I am eager to see what your skills will look like once you've had a great deal of experience with animation. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work!

(PS: You don't know how relieving it is to see "This is my first animation" and see something quality after 813714 bad portal views. This flash is excellent!)

Ja! Das ist sehr gut! I CANNOT SPELL GERMAN RIGHT!

That animation looks absolutley professional! This is good, this is good! That little guy is funny. ^_^

Obviously, a longer one would have been better, because what you currently have is enough to make me wanna see more of this little guy! Keep up the great animation - hopefully we'll see something full length from you eventually? That would be wonderful! =D

SWEET!

That must have taken a lot of planning to act out! I like how the movie was accellerated (either in flash or some other program), the addition of sound effects was really neat, and you even threw in a shape-tweened "special effect" XD

I voted 5, it made me laugh. ^_^
ALSO, considering it had both a song and a movie in addition to several sound clips, the file size is pretty good! Good work!

That was really good

It looks like you actually learned a lot while using the trial and took learning flash seriously - kudos to you! I've seen things that people claim took substantially longer than this took, with only a fraction of the quality. Admittedly, there are places it could be improved (The beginning was just scrolling by hills with NG characters on them, a bit bland), but when this movie picks up, it picks up well! A nice idea, a bajillion times better than (REDUNDANT SPRITE VS SPRITE MOVIE #817419 BY BILLY AGE 7) that all the newbies throw into the portal. This stuff has QUALITY, and I can appriciate the work that must have gone into it. Drawing many characters from a number of anglesmust've been tricky, also. Overall -- YES. This was good. And considering the time frame, EXCELLENT. Kudos, and good luck when you obtain a full version of Flash. ^_^

MY GOD, YEEESSSS!! thats the spirit! im gonna quote you, by God! for the love of Fulp, that redundant Sprite thing was EXACTLY my point when making this! you, my good man, will do good things. :)

I find it rather amusing...

Alright... I'll be fair. I have created both sprite and animation tweened movies, and spoken at length and in detail about the methods of correctly doing each one with experienced animators such as Legendary Frog and Misteroo here, and seeking to one day make an animated series myself that wouldn't be disgraceful to this server, see what I can learn.

Admittedly, as you seem so fond of doing, you're going to click my profile and see the horribly obsolete year-old animutation I made when I was first using flash and stupidly decided to submit to Newgrounds, and then use that as a self-praising merit to discredit anything and everything I have to say, because obviously your logical premesis are always correct, and mine are always false. As you say yourself in your profile, you try for full fairness in all your reviews! Which means you might have to boot up the two dust-choked brain cells in the lifeless void that is your head when you wake up and realize that almost everyone with more than half a brain this side of newgrounds is throwing you criticisms left and right. Why? The reason is quite simple.

Now, through my experiences with animation, I have come to a very plausible conclusion. Sprite-based movies are extremely easy to make. Yes, I've actually done this -- with more complex animation sequences and behaviors, might I add (walking/stopping, turning, along a 2-dimensional plane instead of a 1-dimensional foreground) in 3 minutes. Now, you have multiple endings, so I'll grant you... maybe 10 minutes. 20 minutes of your day absolute max, if you honestly know how to use the software you are working with.

The use of Black Mage and Mega Man are only to coast off of the severe popularity of their respective webcomics and relate it to your effortless movie. Tell me -- if I were to grade this movie fairly, exactly as you BEG users to in your own profile, would it not be fairest to compeltely ignore who the characters are and what popular franchises or works they were formerly associated with and view the movie ONLY for the actual quality level and effort put into it?

Yes. So let's analyze this.
-Sprites moving around a screen in a 2-D environment.
-Sprites that you didn't make, might I add.
-With a total of four blows exchanged before the simply 'genius' choose-your-own-ending scenario.
-With terrible music.

If 2 stick figures were moving around, hit eachother four times, and then died one of 3 ways, said movie would be blown sky high. I only think it's fair to scale the work by its effort and quality.

So, when are you going to respond telling me that you're always right because my crappy obsolete movie sucks? That obviously makes you right. Come on, I'm waiting.

I did not make this to capitalize on the popularity of existing movies, i made this to learn more about the tools and how to improve my future movies. i understand you points and give you full credit for honesty i am somewhat sensative to critism. i merly respond angerly to downright isulting reviews. I do not meant to influence opionions in this way... lol well yes i do :P but that is just because like i said i am a bit touchy about my work. so be honest but not insulting and i will atleast try to make a civil and educated response


although my horible spelling and gramar may say otherwise :P

A new approach.

I personally liked it... sometimes you don't need voice actors or text to tell a story. I think this movie's silence is its strength - it's good to see people trying new techniques in Flash MX. I felt I could relate to it somehow - you're a good artist, and I'm sure your skills are going to get you far. I can see why some people might not like it as much as I did, but it had me enchanted. Well done! Beautiful!

SWEET

I don't know if I have EVER laughed so hard at a flash movie! This film is absolutely halarious - I don't know how many times I've watched it now! I cannot WAIT for AHTM3! Keep up the incredible work!

Excellent!

This is a really well composed movie. You had a lot of new ideas that most "animutation" people don't - there's newness and innovation here. This isn't bad at all, especially considering you haven't made other movies before. Nice job!

Neat.

For some reason, I really, really liked that flash movie. You've gone beyond most of the sprite-based movies I've seen and included halarious things that any true internet-junkie would recognize - that meaning, it's very well catered to its audience. It's also apparent that you used more than sprites -- there are nice flash MX effects too. The animation was smooth, and the sprites animations in the later half were absolutely seamless. That all aside, the way you portray the scenario is absolutely HALARIOUS -- please make the sequel, I look forward to it, as I'm sure others do as well.

Woah!

First of all, I must say for the whole series - The concept is really neat, and cleverly deployed! I was surprised to see some of the things that were actually uncluded. With that out of the way... Freaking awesome! The graphics are even better than the last one, and since Samus' Varia Suit is so graphically complex, I imagine it took a lot of work. Also, the visor display is almost exactly like the Metroid Prime one, which is very sweet. Kudos to you!

If there was one way to improve this work of art, I'd say increase the sound quality. However, I am aware that to keep the filesizes down, some severe sound compression has to take place, so I'm going to be pretty leniant with that. Besides, Samus' VA is neat. ... Almost sounds like Joanna Dark. Is the VA British? o_0

As far as flashes go, this is pretty high quality. It tops a lot of the stuff I see here, so I must say... way to go. ^_^

D responds:

I guess you didn't take a look at the credits :). Anyway, I do all the voices except Samus which I got my sister to do. She is not British, she just wanted to do a british accent so I let her. Yeah and your right about the sound, if I didn't compress it the filesize would be huge. Thanks for the good review.
