SS4FlameAlchemist's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mega Man - Origin of X P3]

VERY nice. I agree with Shadowwhowalks that there is too much plot and random stuff thrown together, but it sounds it's going to be explained later. I normally wouldn't watch a series like this, but you seem to be able to make it work really well. I can't really see anything with this series. The animations are amazing, and the music seems to fit the mood perfectly. Anything I complain about would just be me nitpicking. There were a few parts where there was no way to tell who was talking. I'd say every text should have a mugshot or at least something to tell who's talking. At the end, I couldn't tell which text was Sigma and which was Gate. Can't wait for episode 4. Keep up the good work.

BallinSNN122 responds:

There you are SS4!

Yeah I think I'll bring the mugshots back. I'm also unsure what to do about Mega Man's blue font color, it seems to blend a bit too well with black.

I also agree, this is way too plot heavy. I'm definitely not doing any favors for myself if I want to broaden the appeal - but oh well, it will take care of itself as things pick up. I'm glad you understand my reasoning behind it and believe that it will work out in the end.

With most of these plot points out of the way, I now have free reign to spend all my efforts focusing on set pieces and action, and I definitely will not let anyone down. Part IV is coming, and I'll finally be able to show people what I'm capable of.

Thanks for the review, I trust your opinion SS4 so I'm definitely assured my work is trending in the right direction.

[Gouken vs. Noob Saibot]

That was pretty good for a short fight. Everything seemed to flow properly and the voices sounded much better quality that what I normally see in sprite animations.

Kudos man. Keep up the good work. It's rare for me to not complain about a sprite animation, but anything I complain about here would just be me being nitpicky.

SebzX12 responds:

thanks man im glad you liked it :)

[M & L vs Sonic & Shadow]

It was alright. This style of animation has been overused ever since Alvin Earthworm started his series though. It doesn't really do much to seperate itself from the other hundreds of Mario vs Sonic flashes out there.

BuchonlxD responds:

Just Tried to do something like him , he inspirated me to do animations and since i getted better i wanted to do this thanks for your 4 stars ;)

[Origin of X P2 Demo]

WOW. This was REALLY good. Much better than the average sprite animation. I shall be watching your series with great interest. I do like how the battle was set up and how you did megaman's absorption ability.

BallinSNN122 responds:

Thanks! I do wish I could include the battle that follows, but it's not a demo if I show all my cards haha. I'll have your compliment in mind as I finish #2. Thanks a lot SS4!

[Kitana vs. Jade]

It was okay... It was nothing special, but not that bad for just being a fight.

SebzX12 responds:

yeah, but thanks anyways.

[GAME Ep 1 Part 1]

I saw anime characters and was like, "WHY U NO HAVE BLEACH CHARACTERS?" Then I saw Ichigo in the opening and breathed a sigh of relief. I can't wait to see where this goes. The fact that you added voices for all the characters is a plus. Only thing... PLEASE tell me this isn't going to be like that episode of Teen Titans where the guy gets the powers from every person who's eliminated.

TigerJ15 responds:

curses you've figured out the ending to the series ... nah I'm just kidding the ending is going to be way more awesome that that and blow your mind ... hopefully

[PACMAN DIES AAAH]

Damn it... Why is it most of these flashes are crap these days. It wasn't really funny, just annoying. This is why I stopped coming here. This is just stupid.

Speedo responds:

bye

[Robot Masters]

It was pretty good, but learn how to spell. You didn't spell ANY of the robot masters names right. It's not funny to not be able to read it.

ScottFalco responds:

IS THIS ROBOT MASTER SERIOUS?

[MARIO vs MECHA MARIO]

not bad, but you loose points for no sound effects. Not only that, there's no preloader. No matter what stage of developement it's in, ALWAYS add a preloader. They are very easy to download and put in from the downloads section. Other than that, not bad. The special effects could use some work so they look more appropriate, but that may just be me.

mgze responds:

I'm sorry, but if you use good special effects or sound effects, the program slows

[DB AF: Episode 2]

I sorta agree with the guy below me, Your movements are incredibly choppy. You need to watch dbz flash styles like SMBZ and Sonic's Quest for power. That one will give you a GREAT idea of how dbz style flashes are supposed to look.

First, the blasts are supposed to be transparent. Second, some explosion effects would be preferred to the blasts just disappearing.

The grammar does need some work, that can easily be fixed by having people proofread your script.

Lastly and most importantly... HOLY CRAP. That was laggy as hell. Not only that, the file size is FAR larger than it should be for a project this size. It should be just under 10mb. I have seen people with projects longer than this bring it down to 8mb. That might be why it's laggy, but I don't think it is.
