Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

UPDATE: MADE A FEW EDITS got rid of excess slow-mo, and someone ( I forgot) told me that Show No Tears was the better song so took out Devil's Dance! For those of you who keep saying Sonic cant fly, think of it this way, he is moving so fast gravity cant keep up. And in the game Sonic and Black KNight Shadow can use blast without emeralds, in fact there are no emeralds in that game but shadow fights like Vegeta with a sword.

HOLY CRAP an AWARD?

EDIT: There a lot of things I could improve on I think what most people are saying it that it is good at individual scenes but they dont necessarily flow together, and too many slo-mos. Other than that I think I did so so, since I haven't use flash in like 4 years still stuck in AS2 but for this I learned some AS3. Sorry for the lag since some people don't have Flash player 10, because I had some 3d layers so I couldn't make it FP 9 Sorry.

This is just flash practice, I do plan on doing some real animations that are drawn. Why should I waste time drawing everything just to practice cinematography and motion and action sequencing. Just like drawing, if you know how to draw accurate proportions but need to work on rendering, waste time drawing, when you can borrow line art to just work on rendering skills.

Okay so this is a long way from Super Sonic Warriors. Sonic Adventure Z has been canceled, I wanted to do it but buy the time I got flash all of my custom sprites and storyboards were gone on an old computer. I thought why not do just a battle, after all that is what most people enjoy in a sprite flash now a days, mindless violence. ^^ ENJOY!

P.S.
Im to lazy to edit to the credits so for music, thank the NG Audio Portal. Furthermore, the names of the non NG portal songs in order are: Knight of the Wind (Sonic and the Black Knight), Training (Track 07: Best of DBZ Trunks Compendium) and Metal Ridley Boss Battle Theme (Metroid/ SSB Brawl)

Reviews

Good but could be better.

The only real complaint is that certain animations are too slow. I know your going for dramatic, but the slow sprites needed to be speeded up a bit. Time the music a bit better, maybe add a little variety, and this will be a better flash than it already is.

just OK

Overkill on the dramatic pauses looked like they were going in for a kiss rather than kill each other. Kinda basic and looked like a lot of whats already on this site.

Eh.

If you're going to sprite animate, do better, the standards are quite higher these days. It was okay, the animation just didn't exactly.. Flow.. Flow is kinda weird to explain, it's something you get used to from animating for a while, but it's like your timing and speed on certain things.. Like, there were a couple slow-mo hits in a row, that just didn't look good together and didn't flow, and some of the fast paced fighting had awkward pauses.. Also some of the frame by frame sprite animating could have been better. Such as, in one scene, you didn't even align the background properly, the water fall and tree's and stuff were shaking each frame. There were a couple awkward character movements as well, but I'm too lazy to go back and point out each one.

Anyways, it's decent, but, to only have a sprite fight which everyone has already seen before, without some slight story to hook the person in... You gotta animate a lot better than that.

Very Nice

The choreography was very good. And I like how you showcased all the effects. You might wanna practice around a little more with the effects, so you can be sure they come out exactly they you want them to. And while it's a bit more time-consuming, making flashes with battles like these a little more dynamic and fast-paced makes them more fun to watch.

good effort

the slow motion scenes, were to much. bu its whatcable
