Not bad
Not a bad sprite movie at all, but I think you need to work on your sprite ripping, as some of the sprites still have left over pixels from when you got rid of the background. You can't really miss it since they are bright green squares, so just mind that for next time.
You need to hone your animation skills
Your spriting skills are getting better, but there are still some improvements you could make and problems you can fix:
- You left some background pixels on the explosions. Make sure to delete them.
- When Luigi turned Fire Luigi, the quality of him was sucky. Make sure your bitmaps have "Lossless (PNG/Gif)" turned on in the "Bitmap Properties" window.
- Next time make sure to blend the high quality special effects into the background.
- Add Spacebar actionscript to the text boxes so people can read at their own pace whilst not having to click on the screen each time they wish to advance to the next text box.
- Fix the black screen at the end of the movie so it goes to your "REPLAY?" button automatically.
- Some of the sprites were not animated correctly, specifically Bowser's "Idle Pose". Have his feet aligned at the bottom so when he is animated he is not shaking up and down.
- You should add some "Quality Buttons" so people with slow computers can watch "Mario Battle Bros" without lag.
- Assuming your inspiration was "Super Mario Bros Z", try not to copy too many story elements from it.
- Just throwing in a useful tip, try using a VCam so you don't have to resize the sprites too much.
That's it for my review. Sorry if I sounded a little harsh, I wasn't trying to be. You got potential, but your skills need some work. Keep practing on your animation skills and you'll get really good one day.
No it's ok! I know your not harsh.
...Horrid.
I'm sorry if you think I'm being mean or rude when I tell you this, but you need to thear this. Because that was just simply awful. All this is is SMBZ with terrible animation and very little plot(and the bit of plot that you do have, isn't well thought out). You couldn't even make your own buttons appealing to look at. You used the Newgrounds "Play" button continuously. The sprites and animation was choppy and below amateur. There's no originality in your fight scenes. Its like Dragonball Z with Mario characters. Please do better next time.
bad
you are definately copying off of smbz. you should really come up with your own ideas. the animation is bad and it looks like your taking from the video game bowsers inside story. try and also get the characters to look like their getting hit and not make them spinning the whole time they get hurt. make sure you arent copying from SMBZ anymore ok?
Yeah, your right but I worked hard for this one!
Not very good.
It was pretty much just a ripoff of SMBZ. The animation is really unnatural and odd looking. The sprites were always moving around. You also reused a lot of the same sprites. The DBZ sound effects just made it even more unoriginal. Also, the little parts where it pauses and you need to click play are really annoying. You should really get voice actors.
The plot was extremely hard to follow, you should have spent more time thinking it out. In addition, the plot was really nothing. There was a fight and then another fight and then they find out Bowser cloned himself or something. Although I didn't watch the first one, and I'm not going to any time soon.
To sum it up, don't create SMBZ clones, and try making animations with actual drawings, because most people here on NG despise sprite animations.
If you hate sprite animations, why did you watch it? Didn't you see? I wrote (IF YOU HATE SPRITES DON'T WATCH!) With a Caps Lock.
You know you SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS ARE NOT MY CURRENT SKILLS. I AM MUCH BETTER NOW.
