Sikes's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DragonBall Ecks]

Long time since I've seen a traced flash...

I loved the Street Fighter Alpha anime. I bought it several years ago and still watch it from time to time. Apparently, the author of this flash has done the same. Early in the flash when I saw the picture (the picture that is supposed to be of Shun and his mother with his mother's face shaded, however it's been altered slightly in this flash) my jaw dropped and I immediately laughed at the clear copy. Though at that point, I had no idea that the entire flash would follow this pattern. Aside from a preloader that doesn't work, a bio section that doesn't work, a story section that doesn't work and basically special features NONE of which work, this flash is (to be fair) about 70% traced off of the Street Fighter Alpha anime. Copying someone elses work, whether it's another flash or a commercial anime, and trying to pass it off as your own is lame. I honestly had hope for this series, but now that I see you have no talent for yourself, I'm disgusted and disappointed. I ask that all NG users vote 0 for this to send a message to our plagerising(sp?) friend.

HAHAHAHA!!!

Okay, before I get to the reason I'm voting five, let me first say, the silent movie thing I don't like. I definately think you could benefit from voices or at least sound effects. Just having the music (which in this case didn't pump me up a whole lot) kind of made it bland. The animation though is really good and so is the art (well, aside from having little to no color). I will be looking forward to the next one especially if.... And here's why you get your five... They contain great lines like "Now drink the wine of my anger" or whatever, omg, HAHAHAHA!!

Wow...

That was easily the greatest stick animation I've ever seen. I would go as far as to say that it's the greatest stick flash that anyone could ever possibly create. Please understand that I gave you a 7 for graphics not animation. Naked stick people, though charming, are not the most detailed of graphics. However if there were an "animation" category (which i really think there should be) you would easily recieve a 10 from me. I'm not a stick fan but this is pretty amazing as far as sticks go. Keep up the good work!

This comes from a sprite hater...

I'm not a big fan of sprites personally. I feel that not only is their range of motion limited, but it's already laid out for you, you just have to drag it onto the stage. Likewise, I don't like to give good scores to plotless battles. However, your hard work paid off. This battle needs no plot. It's really great and I'm truly impressed. This is one of those flashes that once it ends you feel abandoned because you were so pumped as you watched it. Truly, I like this flash a lot and I'm going to add you to my favorite author's list, please make more.

U B Needin... A flash that makes sense...

I won't lie to you, this flash failed to make much sense to me. I couldn't really tell what the point was but I've seen worse. The title though... how does that tie in with the flash at all?

Nice work there

I like your style. It's very cool with an anime feel to it, but have you ever tried rounding your noses off a little more. They seemed really pointy to me and that was a bit distracting. This is only a suggestion though, so if you prefer them pointy more power to you my friend. You're a very good artist, and a pretty good animator as well. I'm still not fully grasping the story and I worry that people may lose interest in your series if they feel too lost. I know you wanted to wait 5 episodes or whatever to explain things but try to drop a few extra hints and stuff so that we don't feel like we're on the outside of an inside joke. As far as voices, I think they'd be a great addition. I'm sure that you can find people to voice for you, several have offered to me (though this was after i'd already done all my voices myself, lol). Look into the idea of voices with an open mind cause i really think you should go for it. Hope to see more soon. Peace.

Hey!

I saw my name in the beginning! I wasn't really mentioned for anything, but my name and flash were there! Your drawings are pretty good, your animation is very nice. The sound quality is good too (better than mine anyway, lol) and this was pretty funny. Good job man, I dunno why your score is so low but i'm going to give you a 5 for what it's worth.
