[MvC3: Dante]

Hilarious

I enjoy how it starts off with Dante getting ready to tell people why they should buy Marvel vs. Capcom 3 but then Morrigan comes in and steals the show. Enjoyed how she went around and just trying to talk to the others mostly because she grew up wit ha boring life until the events of Darkstalker. Funny how she just laughs at how some of them look while she tries to befriend others yet fails because she comes at the wrong times to speak with them. Oh well. She's a pretty cool character along with Albert, Jill, and Ryu, but that is just my opinion there.

The animation was very sweetly done here as have the other MvC3 flashes put here. The preloader is also quite interesting. Whoever did the voice acting for Morrigan did an excellent job. She just seemed to be really getting into it as well since she did a lot of nice little giggles and joking around with other characters from the game. I wonder how she would have behaved around Galactus.

Overall, excellent job. Will be sure to buy the game.

[A SlapHappy Quickie #11]

Was cool anyways

The preloader was simple as almost always is. The animation itself seemed a bit random but hey, not every flash needs a plot line with good animation to be a piece of art. Several artists got front page despite their flash not always having a real plot to them at all. This little animation is no real exception since it still fits into the random comedy section anyways.

The animation seemed to look alright here so not bad for only working on this for an hour. What caused that sea creature to blow up at the start if I can ask you that? That part seemed awkwardly funny in a way. Then you had the friends talking and apparently the gift was a fish that makes completely random sounds.

Overall, was humorous even though it was random and the such.

[Shaving]

Needs work

I am not saying this is bad or anything but it just seems to be missing a few things is all. First it needs a preloader, mostly so people can click play when they are ready to view it right off the bat and then after it ends, on the same frames that say fin you should add a replay button which takes them back to the frame where the animation started up at.

The music seemed rather fitting since this seemed to be peaceful yet random at the end as well. He seemed to do an alright job of shaving but like him I also dislike whenever I find out I cut myself open shaving, sometimes it just feels like a pain shaving and I might go two weeks without doing so before shaving again or I might shave every few nights. Just depends on the mood I guess.

Could also make it a bit longer such as showing him going into the bathroom before his head falls off for no reason. Minimal voice acting seemed ok I guess. Could have said something dramatic when he gushed out the blood though.

Overall, just work on some of the things I noted and you should be just fine.

[The Sugar Claws: I-VII]

Looks great

This was actually pretty nice. The only real problem I encountered here is I am not used to reading real fancy cursive like that. I understood most of it but wow it took me a bit to read some of the images. Maybe next time you could possibly make it a little less fancy looking for users who can not always read cursive. I used to be able to do real fancy hand writing and I still do sometimes but I rarely do that anymore.

The art here was spectacular and I liked how it was simply shades of pink only. Kind of puts emphasis on the title since you would want to see soft and nice things if the title were like that right? The song you put with this was mostly fitting for the storyline at play here so that was good I think.

Overall, nice artwork, fancy handwriting. Could maybe auto make it to where it goes to the next frame after a few seconds so users can read it and then go to the next frame, would be good I think.

Hello,

I've thought about adding an auto-play feature, the problem is the time it would take to do, and the size of the finished product.

I'm not sure i should change the font either, because I feel people will probably get used to the writing as the story progresses.

Thanks for the review though!

[Tank Half Full Official]

Was interesting

Well at least I thought it was interesting. Then again I have not watched many flash with this kind of mixed art style. Most of your work tends to be dark stories but this one and those after seem to be looking up a lot more. Why the sudden change from dark to happy? Something in life made you feel better? If so then that is good I think because feeling sad all the time is no fun.

The song was actually pretty cool. I liked the part in the video where you showed the person doing the harmonica solo. It looked like a real person. Did you draw it or actually record it and then use that one effect to make it just look like the outline of a person? Either way, it was interesting to me.

The art style here was mixed and as I stated a moment ago the harmonica main playing was interesting. Did not seem to get the idea of where she was going in her car until the end where it said she was leaving behind fear and loathing which are things I guess that are better off forgotten sometimes right?

Overall, nice piece, glad to see the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Awareness.

[MLP:MMO video]

Interesting concept

This looks like it could be a promising piece but this sample is not my thing you know. There is no music or sounds going on here so it kind of takes away the fun but then again this is beta footage of an MMO sample you are working on. I think the better option here rather than doing an endless loop video of collecting apples would have been letting the player actually PLAY rather than watch as they would most likely appreciate it more too.

The game play concept looks good actually. Just add tunes from the audio portal and such and this could be getting better. Would like to see what the full MMO concept would look like. Would be saving stats, keeping and creating a custom pony and other things. However I would be sad if this was only a joke video and you were never going to release a full version of this.

The game looks promising though, would probably end up signing a deal with Hasbro and Lauren Faust though since they made the characters and such and would likely expect a profit from it as well. She might even give good ideas of what to add here as well. Would love some audio here though.

Also looks slightly good even though I have barely spent much time playing any MMORPG ever. The chat/text box and the item box look good here. As for exp/health and such. What kind of stats would be gained upon leveling up here? There is a lot of thinking and time that goes into MMORPGs and then you need to add additional content from time to time to keep the players motivated to keep playing the game.

Overall, looks promising.

cam studio wont record sounds/music but they are there :)

[Luigi Becomes Tall]

More like massive erection

I like how the title is a bit misleading here. He becomes tall but only his dick is growing for some reason or another which is weird anyways. The sprites were cool I guess. I wonder how long his shlong was at the end? Would have sucked for him anyways because his dick is too big to insert into Peach now.

The music was cool I guess but what was it called? The story seemed to be funny as well since there were a few creatures that got impaled by his dick. However it would nice if you slowed down the text. They are easter eggs but it is impossible to click something if it goes on and off that quickly.

Overall, slow down the text easter eggs, all else was alright.

RareKirby responds:

Alright I'll maybe redo this :o

[Parody Rangers Turbo]

April Fool..

Well it would be if the guy did not get beaten and broken to a mere pulp like he was. Was actually expecting a lot more in this piece but it covers the first 20 minutes of the movie so this works just fine for me anyways. Funny how you added in Psyguy here even though the dude was never in the movie or was he..?

The animation was pretty great and fastly put together here making it all still pretty funny to me. The voice acting was also good. Kind of laughed at the black guy having those metal mace pieces on his hand at the start too.

Overall, pretty funny, nice work.

Kirbopher responds:

Psyguy voices Renaldo, so yes, he was in there.

[SailorMan]

Naked time

Well this was humorous. They never did that in the show and I still enjoy watching it from time to time but I guess it is fun to make fun of a good show and laugh at it from time to time as well. Lot of good humor here.

The animation was very nice here. What was that dude anyways? Liked how you just drew random stuff going on here for the whole time. I had no honest idea what was going on either.

The voice acting was quite humorous really. What was the music playing in the background that I heard? Sounded a bit like a Final Fantasy tune from an older game.

Overall, pretty funny.

[[L*] A day at the park]

Still getting there

You all rarely submit anything here to the portal and when you do I get a good laugh since the intro looks completely great as always followed by a quick but sadly done following animation with just a few clip art Lucky Star characters. Could always add a background to them I guess to make them a little better I suppose. A picture of a park could have worked here too.

The intro is good as always. Liked how the intro here was a striped pink pattern. Considering you spent a good chunk of time working on the intro I simply have one question to ask. What happens between the intro and the main piece that just suddenly makes you give up the consistency of good quality here? I honestly would love to see a piece where you do good quality the full way. You got several users, why not do a full collab and just have each user try to contribute something awesome.

Have one person do the intro as always. Then have several of them work on the main animation, it goes a little slower but everyone works together to produce something incredible as a team like most collabs. I think you all have potential but something just happens or comes up that makes you lose the motivation.

The english subtitles were nice, it doesn't mean you can't have the japanese subtitles in there as well though. I'm sure it would be good practice for someone wishing to learn one or the other language anyways. The music was also pretty cool. What were the songs used here?

Overall, still improving which is good.
