SS4FlameAlchemist's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[On the next episode...]

FOR GOD'S SAKE! THE HORSE IS DEAD!

Ockeroid responds:

I'm sorry, the scars run deep.

[Megaman X :Nighmares]

not gonna lie, it's pretty bad. But with a little work, you could do well. Nightmare Zero is one of my favorite villains and a series like this looks interesting.

1. The characters are far too small. You need to resize the characters to match the backgrounds you used.
2. Mixing handdrawn effects and sprited effects looks horrible. Try to stick to sprited effects
3. The text boxes are too small and disappear too fast. They also look horrible. Since it's megaman x, they should be at the bottom of the screen or top to fit the style. This was the biggest problem with the movie.
4. Be careful mixing styles of sprites. You have to have an eye for it. I hope there's a purpose for the Megaman Zero sprites being there. Usually style mixing is okay sometimes if you know how to mix the styles right.
5. The movement is horrible. It's extremely choppy and unnatural.
6. The story needs work. People seemed to randomly show up, with no explanation. "dr. light brought me back"? That was awful attempt and explaining. try to put some real thought into it. try to use some plot to develop the characters.

Fix this stuff and you could make this series pretty awesome. I will be watching you.

well this was made before i actually had flash. i made it in artoonix so yea the sprite ing and all those other extra things i can add in flash....i cant do it so yea. i got a flash trial now but i dont know how to do shit in it and no ones willing to help me out. so its slow progression. but thanks for the advice much appreciated for fututre flashes. :D

[Teenage Mutant Turtles]

Not going to lie. That was stupid as hell. But, you did do a decent job with the animation, so you won't get a 0. The jokes were stale, and there was no point to this at all.

Jae responds:

Awwww maan bummerrrrr!!! :D

[Sonic 15th 4 'Trailer']

This is going to be awesome. i can't wait.

RicPendragon responds:

Thanks, I know this isn't much now, but if you liked the original trilogy, I'm going to hope you like part 4.

[Cat Vader 3]

Wow. has it been a blue moon already? Time sure flies. Very funny. Made me laugh. A lot. Thanks for making my day. I needed something funny.

koit responds:

Yeah, nearly a year since the last one. It was time methinks.

Glad you enjoyed it and if I can bring a liuttle bit of laughter, then the time making this was worth it.

[Mega Man Dimensions]

I like the idea. The only problem I had is that you seemed to rush things a bit. and megamans jumping is extremely choppy and slow, but whatever. it's an old one. Instead of him travelling to other video games you could have had the dimensions be other megaman series. I'd kinda like to see megaman's "WTF" reaction if he were to get thrown into battle network.

GrimmTrixX responds:

Ha funny you say that cuz i was def thinking he'd goto other mega man games as well. As I said, this was my very first animation. it was for a school project in a course on flash I took. it seems rushed cuz I made it n about 5 days, but I think for what it is its good. obviously its not amazing and believe me, i see the choppiness. But i figured I'd share it for this exact reason, so you all can say "Hey you, i like this part, but this part sucks" kind of a thing. Keep em coming guys this is great feedback for me.

[New Nazo Design]

Congrats. You copied Chakra X's version of Nazo and added an aura.

Sorry. Not impressed. This should have been put up as an animated gif. This IS NOT a movie.

waelalz responds:

1. Not Copied
2. This should be an animated GIF, this is a drawing and GIF destroys quality
3. Read description

[Vegeta In Every DBZ Movie]

Wow. really? do you even watch the series. He became a main character after he went super saiyan. Some situations ended up like this back when he was still technically a bad guy. That role fits Krillin a LOT more than vegeta.

Well anyway, the joke was stale, the dialogue was slow, but the animation was pretty decent.

Iznvm responds:

I've seen every episode literally 10s - 100s of times... I've seen the series start over from Raditz while waiting for a new saga to be dubbed back when they were on Toonami and watching them online beforehand wasn't an option because I either had no internet or dialup - OR there was no real technology to upload episodes on sites because there wasn't that kind of bandwidth for normal joes back then. This isn't meant to be a literal and perfectly accurate recreation of the series. It's exaggerated and a joke. Just like the reason that Cell is on Namek or never a real issue in any movie.
TL:DR Get over yourself

[Mario vs Bomberman - Ep 1]

not too bad. You have a pretty cool idea. You seem to have a problem with the flash pausing I keep having to right click and play twice before it will start again. Some parts are just slow to transition.

The biggest problem is that you just jump everything a little too fast. for example, you started during a battle that we knew nothing about. then after the battle the plot just advances too fast, they go from being enemies to being allies without any explanation between the two. Bomberman just hears rescue princess and assumes that they're the good guys. Most people wouldn't assume that right off the bat. Try to slow the plot a bit and build things up. A little extra dialogue won't kill people.

Next, you need a preloader. That may have been part of my problem when I said the movie kept pausing. That are very easy to put in and you can download them from the download section. It makes things easier so we know it's actually loading and not a white screen for however long that we think there's something wrong with the flash or our internet window. Also, assuming that green thunder message was your author logo, you need to make it more obvious, when it came up, I lost it and it got stuck on that screen until I hit play on my right click twice like I mentioned above. For a minute, I thought that WAS the flash.

Try to work on your battles a bit. It may be nice to see more than just a lazy rpg battle

Anyway, I look forward to see where this is going. Fix the stuff I mentioned, and you could have an awesome series.

EduardoS responds:

Thanks for the hints, I put now the preloader.
and the RPG battle is a Paper Mario Battle, the next battle will be diferent.

[Megaman X vs Zombies II]

not bad

I agree the dialogue does make X sound a little stupid, but whatever. Just some bad wording, it happens. The only think I don't like was that it was so short, which is why this is a 9 instead of a 10. Considering how small the file size is, you should have been able to do a lot more. Well, I'll be waiting for the next one.

Nanomations responds:

Thank you for the honesty. I had more in mind, but I decided to use it for a later episode.
