8/10
WAY higher quality than many of the other sprite battle movies that pop up daily on here, which are overrated garbage to be frank. This was quite refreshing!
I would have liked to see more of a story developing, possibly even to make the Akuma thing funnier, it seemed kind of awkward to me and I felt like I missed some inside joke.
Two more nitpicks are the short length (although you could call it short but sweet quite easily) and the REALLY POORLY DRAWN black squiggly thing that appeared a few times. That definitely coulda been more caringly implimented.
And finally, like others have said, this has really been done to death, which detracted from my being impressed a little bit. So, again, a story would have helped you here too and at least made it interesting or compelling or different in some potential way if you gave it some real thought.
Upsides:
- The camera and fluid, energetic, cohesive use of the sprites are AWESOME, and far above most generic sprite movies.
- The effects for the Hadoken and Shoryuken are insanely sweet, I'm sooo happy you didn't just go with the pixellated sprite of them, because these effects add SO much personality and energy to the flash. It's much more intense like this, which obviously is a huge plus.
- Choosing the winner was a cool option, and if you had provided a story, a 'Choose Your Own Path' kind of movie would have been REALLY cool. Think about that next time!
