Good.
I like the idea a lot, and it's about time it gets done correctly. Some of the humor is cheap, though...
like <SPOILER> being allergic to spikes. </SPOILER>

Why Didn't You Just Do This? - #1 - Dr. Wily
"Why Didn't You Just Do This" is a series that gives our favorite video game heroes (and villians) a helping hint to make their mission MUCH easier.
Episode #1 - Dr. Wily
Dr. Wily, I'm surprised you didn't do this earlier.
NOTE: As with Why Sonic Should Check His Rings/Sonic, Check Yor Rings!, this flash is on youtube on the Recorderdude account, which I OWN.
So, I didn't steal.
Admins, if you need proof, I can give you the original video files or share the video to you via the earlier mentioned YouTube account.
Enjoy, newgrounds!
Ps: WOOW! Sonic got over 600 views in ONE DAY? It took me MONTHS to get that many on YouTube! YOU ROCK, NEWGROUNDS!!!
RecD responds:
Yeah, I did this one pretty fast. Future episodes will be longer and have deeper plots.
Not too good but not bad either.
The concept for your series is decent, however I am a bit cynical when it comes to using sprites. I don't hate sprites, but I like to see more effort used when using non-custom sprites.
The animation was decent, however the speed of the sprite movements could stand to be a little smoother. There were times the animations were going too fast or too slow, try to keep it at a more consistant pace.
The Mega Man sprite was also larger than the other sprites, keeping the sprites a consistant size helps keep the quality higher.
Don't be afraid to utilize more sprite frames or create your own custom sprites to add moredepth to your animation. 8-bit sprites are simple enough, it should not take alot of time to make some of your own renditions.
Just as a few minor suggestions to make the quality of your work more appealing, you can try adding a constant background music and animating the backgrounds like in the Mega Man games to get veiwers more into your animation.
RecD responds:
Yeah, You ARE right about that. The Why Don't You Just Do this series was ment to be of shorts, and eventually i'm going to be doing my own art for it. The next will be uploaded tonight, As well as one of my non-sprite non-video game animations.
I do not understand this at all
but it still gives me some lulz. It takes skill to make a befuddled viewer lul, therefore I give thee 10.
RecD responds:
(Warning: Spoilers)
What it's about is Dr. Wily realizing that Mega Man is "allergic" to spikes (mainly because he dies instantly when he touches spikes in the game) and placing a spike for him to land on when he enters the next level. This may leave the user wondering just WHY megaman was allergic to spikes...so you find it's because dr. light, his creator is, too!
Meh
No Music, Minus 5
Absolutely silent! minus 3
Too short, minus 1
Boring, minus 1
RecD responds:
Apparently, you only watched the first 5 seconds. That, OR your speakers Are Broken. There IS music, and lots of it.
As far as being short and boring, you didn't get the joke.
