Rikimaru-Azlar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gravity's Just A Theory 2]

Inventive

Good idea. Very imaginative

[Trunks goes INSANE!]

Good stuff

Your' dragon ball z parodies are very funny, better than mine at least

[Saunich der Hejhaug]

Spot on

Great flash work. Quite abstract style you have. I like how it was animated, the character design and the expressions. Nice one

[Cooking Sama]

Great work

Sooooo Japanese

[When Cloud Met Vincent]

Very humorous

Good voice acting, nice drawing style, great comedy. Reminds me of Resident Evil 2 Kendo

[Knuckles Gaiden]

I have to say I liked this

Considering this is your first submission I'm shocked at the use of different techniques. Usually when someone does a sprite movie, the sprites aren't cut out properly or lined up poorly on the stage OR it's basically a remake of an original but this suprised me.
First off I liked how it was set around the whole last of the echinda Tikal floating island crap (that zoom pan out of the city was impressive) and influenced by MGS and Final Fantasy 7.
Definately keep up the good work. My advice to you for improving would be to make some of your own sprites of characters (major ballache but necessary) so you have more potential movements for knuckles etc.
I'd watch the sequel.

thanks for the review it was very intuitive i have been working hard on on my next movie i had made this one with my 30 day trial way back when i could get the full version of flash since then ive been worked on my techniques alot so look to be amazed with my next flash

[Alfa stick arena]

None too shabby!

The theory is definately there and you can script well (various buttons) so all you really need to do is working on your' drawing style or if you want to stick with sticks (ha) work on more detail in backgrounds or various effects i.e. blood, blurring. All in all, shows promise.

[DE_dust2]

Top notch!

Really really good. Takes me back. Shows you what you can do when you use a high frame rate and plan everything with a storyboard. I like how you identified characters as different playing styles and showed that a little luck is important on CS. Really well animated, good attention to detail on the backgrounds. I'd whup you on TFC though.

[KOROSU- the black samurai]

good....

Good use of different programs like photoshop for the clouds and swift for lettering and the room etc. Good plot, voice acting and animation. Characters coulda been more detailed but as you said, you're used to sticks. Don't samurai's follow bushido?
Keep up the good work

[A Typical Day At The Bar]

Woop funny stuff dude

You shoulda mentioned that this was your first, it made me laugh till my face turned purple, great story and I hope you get a good mark for tech
