Whoa
Most enjoyment I ever had watching a sprite movie. Im usally not a fan, but this was pretty cool. Must of been hell to make, especially for how long it was. Cool story, fairly good animation. I would suggest making something new happen though, sprite movies are fairly straight forward, maybe some AS camera, and some easing. Fairly good though, 4/5.
Glad you liked it! Anyway, something new happening? I'm sure I'll think of something, so don't worry.
Brilliance. In a Flash.
Quality, Quality, Quality. Pretty much sums it up. Sprite graphics are just how they were in the games as are those classics beeps we used to call 'sound'. Above all great unique concept and this is very watchable. Slight criticism is that it could have been longer but it's good to see the battles finish in unique ways. Bring forth the rest of the tournament! Recommended viewing for everyone.
Very clever...
This was one very cleverly done flash, and none to short! If anything it was too long, what with the large gaps of blankness and such.
The graphics were, very cool indeed. Solid, and believable. By that I mean you can say "that looks like it could've been in a game".
My only gripes are these: the tweens are visible, and some sprites are overly used. But, that's not a bad thing, neciscarily.
The backgrounds were pretty nice, up until the point at which one was ripped away like paper. That looked hoaky. You should spend a bit of time to edit some of the scenery to make it collapse or sommat.
Still, they weren't bad at all.
Style....hm...I think this was a little slower than it should've been. Some of the scenes needed to be cut short, and some were totally boring. An example being the video footage of lost battles, in which nothing exciting happened.
Though, I do like the clever matchup between Metalman and Magnetman. That worked very well. And the overall effort is shown, that's awesome.
Sound, like you say, cuts short at times, though it still works nicely when it plays.
Violence, though no gore, was very entertaining.
Humor, was somewhat deadpan, and lacked the fart jokes and cursing people demand from a "funny" sprite animation, but funny nonetheless.
Overall, I look forward to the next, hoping it flows quicker now that the tournament reasoning is out of the way, there can just be fighting.
If you improve on my suggestions, and keep working as hard as you did, I think this can be a very wonderful series. Congrats!
Thanks, PandemicProducer! I appreciate the time you put into this review.
1: Sprites are overused, and that's inevitable, especially when working with NES sprites. One of the robot masters in the fight I'm currently working on only has about 5 or 6 sprites, total. So, I have to (try to) be creative.
2: Yeah, I'll agree with you about the background. That, I can blame only on laziness.
3: I'm not very good at story scenes, which would explain why the introduction was so boring. But it's gonna be nothing but battles, battles, a little storyline, and more battles!
4: Hopefully sound trouble will not be an issue in episode 2.
5: If I added gore, it would make the animation look less "NES-ish", for lack of a better word.
6: I wasn't really trying to do much with humor. This series is about action, not pointless fart jokes.
7: I really gotta say, your criticism is bound to help me with my future submissions, so I thank you for that. I'll work hard and take my time, but I won't take too much time. Expect to see episode 2 next week!
Oh, for the very love of...
Man, what the hell is wrond w/ your megaman knowlage? In the scene where Wily-bots group up, You can see Dive man. HE IS A F******* Cossac-bot, made by another siencist, Dr. Cossac! Wily can't claim him as "his own robot"... So is Toad man, from the 2nd video. And even better, Flame man's (from game "Megaman 6") weaknes wasn't that wave weapon (Taken from Wave man, "Megaman 5"), But WIND MAN's weapon. First battle, Cut man, a wily-bot against Pharaoh man, ANOTHER one of cossac bots... I do not know to cry or cry out loud... Nice fights however. And I liked the idea of cutting of the backgrounds in the 2nd fight.
WOO PHAROAH MAN AND MAGNET MAN WON! Make part 3 plz
