Would you like to provide a dragon ball z narrator style voiceover? Hahaha. Thanks for the review!

BallinSNN122 responds:
I'll watch the whole thing and check for typos! Glad you enjoyed it!
This reminds me of what Flamezero did years ago.
It's been a while since I saw a serious sprite movie that was actually interesting and didn't rely on clichés (examples: Voice actors who were good once but have gotten stale due to overuse; increasingly stale super-fast choreography; and poor joke material, but that last one has been a problem since NG's early years.)
Graphics: While some of the backgrounds may be sloppy when compared with the likes of Alvin Earthworm; the spritework in this was well-done albeit garden variety. However, I did like how you did some customization on Mega Man's behalf. It may not be as meticulous as Super Duck Hunt, or as limit-breaking as Proxicide; but you did a good job none-the-less. Also worth mentioning is your fight choreography. It may not be fast, but at least it was interesting. One gripe: I think that your camera movements could use some easing.
Audio: Unlike the staff, I have no problem with commercial audio as long as it fits the movie and isn't the only music you're using. The songs you chose fit the situations quite well, but I think you ought to check out the songs that Bosa and xenith800 have submitted here when possible. As for your sound effects, I will suggest that you check out Rayforce, Raystorm, Transformers, and Kirby Super Star for those since the ones used seemed tepid.
Finally, the content: I have to admit that I enjoyed your Flash "The Samurai" episode IV, and this is a bit of an improvement. In addition to your choreography, you sure put quite a bit of thought into narrative cohesion. It isn't easy to make a story easy to follow, especially when people put more thought into tricky angles without any thought into how it's going to work. However, this could be less generic considering how overused the subject.
The Good:
-Decent direction
-Great music selection
-Good direction and pace
-Decent writing
The Bad:
-Overused subject
-Needs better sound effects
-Could have used more sprite customization
Overall: Here's a nine from me. (4.5/5)

Thanks for the detailed review! I'll take a look at all the things you suggested, especially regarding the sound effects.
Glad you liked TS4, I used the creation process to shake some rust off, but I feel I can take that and make something I'm truly proud of.
The feedback is much appreciated,
