"Cool idea, but could use some reworking"
date: August 11, 2009
I get that you make "Sprite Vids," so I won't recommend that you improve the quality of the animation, but you might want to avoid zooming in. Because of the lack of detail in the sprites, the first few seconds of the intro look a little amateurish, rather than cool and professional. I normally like the color-inversion thing, but it didn't work here.
The second half was better, although the transition from a swarm of shurikens (I know they aren't shurikens, but forget the correct word) to a block of wood is a little random. The block suggests a sort of training session, whereas the shurikens imply some sort of enemy horde. The Street Fighter-esque combos were well done, but I'd recommend you put the cool-factor those combos provide to better use against some actual enemies. Finally, the whirlwind shuriken deflection might look better in a dominantly gray or white color. The brown was a little odd and made me think of Loony Toons's Taz the tazmanian devil, rather than a human being.

brown wus from inversion and the kunai were apart of the training like a booby trap but not a trap
