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.

<deleted> responds:

meh.

awesome

this was pretty good i hav a pretty simple question how was virus link made?
This flash was awesome anyways i thought it was good because of the way u set up the fight and the sound effects were amazing.

<deleted> responds:

Er.... Go read my post. I have a long text explaining everything for all of you. And uh... Thanks i guess.

well,

this was pretty awsome, except the electric sound, but apart from that, i hope you make a sequel, cuz this was rather epic

Oh yeah, since when does link sound like sonic? and how often is it even he talks? XD

<deleted> responds:

Oh yea... Well, go read the post about this flash, i`m sure you`ll find it there somewhere. I forgot Link was the silent protagonist, so i had him talking. And yea, Sonic Colors` voice was the most suitable. (I wanted him to say more than just grunts...)

But thanks anyway man.

This was very good, but

I had a few problems with it.

First, it seemed that perspective went a little screwy. In one scene, when Virus Link reformed after nearly being destroyed by one of Link's attacks, it appeared that he was really really tiny.

Another minor thing: In the LoZ games, Link doesn't talk. I've always found it...odd. I'm not taking any points away for it, but I feel the need to point it out just the same.

Finally, I understand that many sprite artists tend to get mad, or feel insulted when their work is compared to Alvin Earthworm's. I'm not entirely sure why that is but, if you are such a person, then I would like apologize in advance.

With that disclaimer out of the way, let me begin.

This flash has a decidedly DBZ-esque feel to it. In case you might be the type to argue that that isn't the case (I'm not saying you are, but just in case), I submit the following to you: There's people flying around, shooting fireballs at each other.

Now, I think DBZ is awesome. No question. But, I've seen so many imitate and emulate it that it's just lost its flavor. It's gone from "Wow! That was totally kick-ass!" to "Meh. Seen it before, nothing special." So, now I take off a point for that every time I see it, unless it's a DBZ parody. Nothing personal.

Now, beside that, everything you did, you did excellently. This is truly an awesome flash, and you deserve all the praise you get for it. The action was great, and there were some funny moments thrown in, (especially when Link screamed like a girl. Hilarious!) making it all just that much more entertaining to watch. I look forward to more of your work, and possibly a sequel to this.

Final Verdict (the tl;dr version of my review):

too small + weird perspective: -1 point

Overused DBZ elements: -1 point

Final score: 8/10

I am really glad you took the time for this wonderful constructive critic. For most of what you said, i hope my most recent post has all the answers for you. But for some things i have to tell you here. About Virus Link being Tiny. That`s one of his specialties actually, its just that it went kinda badly animationwise. It`s a trick that i tried now, for the first time. 'Pixel Scatter'. But i can see it needs more detail. About Link talking... Yes, i know that but i wanted to have them talk a bit too. You know, keep them active. Its boring seeing them just kick ass and keep their mouth shut now... And damn... never gets old. Comparison to SMBZ/DBZ... No im not mad. Not at all. Id understand if the audience isnt satisfied, if they arent then its my fault, thus my job to do something about it and progress. And lol yea, the Link screaming part. Who wouldnt if he gets electrified and suffocated by some shady guy?

Overall, im very happy to hear that you are satisfied even with all those flaws... And i`ll try to improve too. Now go read my recent post. Please do.

Great

The animation was epic , the only part i didn't like was the sound , in some parts i heard like cracking noises , but minimal things , congratulations you got a nice animation here !

<deleted> responds:

Oh, the static noises. Yea i tried to fix it but Stupid Flash goes against me for everything. Get this, when i was done Flash ruined half of my animation. I`ll sue Macromedia.
