Hey Shadow, you're still improving. (Looking forward to Shift, that preview was fantastic.) Not a huge fan of the music choice, but that's only because I'm picky and have no idea what series that's from.
Reviews for "SMB GT TGA Intro"
Keep at it.
LordAsylus responds:
Okey. Thanks.
So I couldn't help but notice the file-size of this thing. 12.3MB for just an intro? I mean, that's a lot of bulk for just something that isn't really going to be part of the "feature film" if you will.
I'm taking it that you customed some to a whole hell of a LOT of these sprites? Some of these look just too amazing to actually be ripped off of a sprite sheet.
From what I saw, there seems to be a lot of loose ends to tie up. I forget, but who is that partnered up with Dark Bowser? Some type of Godzilla monster? Not to mention, is the Dark, Shady Armored Koopa the main boss or is Bowser still at his reign? Answers, man; answers.
Also, with the recent calling quits of Alvin with his SMBZ series, you really DO have a lot to live up to. But, from what I've seen so far, with the epic animation and such, I think you'll do just fine....if you don't end up having your fanbase wait a year for each episode.
Good luck!

The Godzilla monster is Asylus, my OC.
The animation looks pretty good, and I'd have to say it looks kind of looks like SMBZ and I guess that's what you're going for. Considering the similar style of animation, I'm half expecting the animation to be just as good. The choice of music didn't really seem to fit, but that's a personal thing. Also, I really like the fact you used the Mass Attack sprites. Makes me wonder what you're gonna do about copy abilities, however.
Now, to the main point of my review, which is also a personal point but one that greatly effects my view on this. The whole Tiff fighting and having a romantic relationship with Kirby really put me off. SMBZ, while being a fan creation, still made sense within the realms of each character. Tiff is not a fighter and I'm pretty sure she never had a romantic relationship with Kirby, as it was more of a family/sibling-like relationship and I never thought it could go any further then that. It may be cute or badass to some, but to me, it's neither. It could be your head canon at work here or whatever, but if you needed a romantic interest for Kirby, Ribbon is a perfect candidate (as it's pretty apparent during the true end of Kirby 64) and have Meta Knight as the fourth main character since he can actually, you know, fight and generally has more experience in combat. I dunno if I'm the only person who thinks this, but as a Kirby fan it's pretty awkward to see Tiff beat the crap out of Bowser Jr and kiss Kirby on the lips.
I'm not saying you have to out right change it, but do consider the relationships of the characters (and Tiff's capabilities as a fighter) 'cause I really want to enjoy this to the full extent and that Tiff thing is killing it for me. It's amazing what a little thing like that can do to a viewer's experience.
intresting...
