Good, but it's not a story...
The graphic is good, just the sound, not enough on that...

We put the intro out.. did you check that out yet..? Oh.. plus we didt even finish the story yet... his was just to show you guys whats comming.. a sample ;)
Not terrible...
But I think you should be putting this on IFILM or Atomfilms, so you don't have to enter it as a Flash file.
Flash files aren't great for presenting AVIs in clear format, and this piece shouldn't have to suffer visually because of the limitations of Flash.
All the other criticisms (rough/jerky animation, soso coreography, too many matrix effects) are valid.
So I think you should go back to the drawing board, flesh out what kind of scenario you want (its just 2 random guys fighting for no reason at the moment), and once you have a rough cut (good editing and pacing for the story) THEN go for a Longer version.
Just my 2 cents...

Yea.. but the intro already came out.. and we explained that this entry was just a SAMPLE :) Not supposed to have a plot or plan.. just 2 random guys fighting.. there real characters that will be in the real episodes. but right now we just wanted to show some of tha capabilities.. It will definaley be more fine tuned next time...
Bother with it...
This has the potential of being something spectacular. Trailers won't get you a five, but make the a good flash with a good story and you may have something to top Final Fantasy A+.
Don't bother
It wasn't that good, and a longer one would probably be about 20 mbs anyway. Try something non-3d
Some advice...
Spend less time trying to imitate the Matrix (the camera pans get annoying really quick) and spend more time making the movements of your characters more fluid. Anytime one of them makes a movement they just stop suddenly and stand there.
You need to keep track of what both characters are doing at all times in each frame, otherwise it comes across as stiff and animatronic.
Concentrate on giving your animation a smooth, liquid, flowing feeling and spend less thought and energy on overused gimmicks like the Matrix-pan.
Outside of that, what you've got seems to be a good start. Although the subject matter could be more original. I mean how ninja fights does the world need before everyone realizes that a jedi would kick any ninja's ass.
Bust out the light sabers already, dagnabbit!!!
