I said I would review this...

So here I am, reviewing!

Overall, it's pretty good. None of these movies would be much good on their own, nor would the game (which makes up a sort of "centerpiece" around which the rest of the collab revolves), but put them together like this and it's quite the Flash, truly a worthy submission to the Portal. Of special note are the game (which I reached the end of, something I couldn't seem to do before now) and 50vmp's part (classic sQueef, good art and animation). Jehosapha's and Psycho's parts were something of weak points, but overall it was a good one.
5/5, 10/10.

LordZeebmork responds:

meh, I thought jehosapha's part was good.

and the game used basically the same code as nortaneous: the game, which is probably why it's shit.

oh yeah and this one has another part (by sinitron) in case you didn't notice.

Could use some improvements.

It's not "terrible", not by any means, but if you want to develop a good game out of this there are quite a few improvements that you could, and that I think you should, make to this game.

First of all, you could definitely use sound. For example, since you're using Paper Mario characters, why not the music from Paper Mario as well? Fitting music can add to any submission, and this one as much as any soundless submission I've yet seen.

Next suggestion: more moves. Fireballs, jump kicks, and guns are all good and well, but the addition of more moves (Bob-ombs, Koopa shells, Mario's hammer) would make this a more interesting game by far. And another thing that ties in with that, Bowser should have some moves of his own. Perhaps even make it a full-fledged fight between them, with health bars, counters, and all.

Now for the good things about this game. It's somewhat fun to play (though it is far too short and limited), it's got better graphics than half the movies or games I see on this site, and rather than using verused SNES-style sprites you decided to take the road less traveled and use Paper Mario-type graphics, which is definitely a nice change. But overall it's slightly less than average.
2/5, 4/10.

CarnageDemon responds:

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I completely agree with you on all aspects and I actually had similiar thoughts. I intend to add sound first among the many things to fix. It would be on there already but I had been working on the project at school and my time and resources were extremely limitted. However, I'm buying Flash to load onto my home PC and there will be a lot more on the finished work. Consider the submitted Flash a demo. I'll be sure to keep in mind all of your suggestions when working on it in the future.

Looks like it will be good.

It looks like you're making a hell of a good movie there. Actually it looks like it was inspired, to some degree, by Dragon Ball Z, which some might consider "overdone" and "unoriginal", but which isn't a problem to me since I like DBZ. And what's more, I'm also a major Zelda fan, so you definitely earn some points there.

My only problem is that it's really, really short. I mean, yeah, I know it's basically a commercial for the coming movie, but still, it could have been a bit longer. So you lose a couple points for it being short, but it's still not bad.
4/5, 8/10.

Ah, yes, it IS Casualty's birthday!

I was going to PM him about it after reading it on NG Log, but I didn't have time before I had to go do something... Ah well, happy birthday to the man whose log and Portal Guard program allowed me to get out of my low B/P status, and now onto the movie!

It may be short. It may not be quite as ambitious as your Pokémon Flash in terms of graphics or storyline. But it's still good, in its own way, like all your movies. Didn't take too long to watch or to load, and as always it was funny (Casualty showing up to replace Frank Sinatra crooning with metal!), so why not give it the perfect score?

Murray responds:

Heh, I do like making these short flashes. It makes me feel more relaxed before or after making bigger flashes. :) Thanks for another review! :)

Very much overdone.

I'm sorry to give such a low score and review to this Flash, but the fact is, I've seen tons of stuff like this before. The concept of a skateboarding stick has been done to death by scores of authors over the period in which NG has existed, and your movie has done little, if anything, to set itself apart from others of the genre. It's also too short, with only three scenes; this movie could benefit from more scenes, preferably depicting a larger variety of skateboarding tricks than just jumping and grinding.

As far as "improvement", I don't know what you can really do within the "skateboarding stick" genre. You can certainly increase the length and variety of the movie, and preferably find something that sets your movie apart from all the other skate movies out there, but other than that... There's not much you can do.

no prob i liked ur honesty thanks for the clarifing review.

Great work as always.

Hmm. So that's why those Pokémon Flashes ended... I always had heard it was otherwise, that Wade had actually paid Afro_Stud, not Hitler, to end them. Wonder why he did that? Still, I'm kinda glad it didn't get to Mudkip, just because I don't care for the /b/ meme that would have been in half or more of the reviews for that episode. Now onto the movie!

Is it just me, or do you improve more and more with every new Flash? I saw a few of your early Flashes not long ago, and then a few more recent stuff, from 2007 or so, and then the Pokémon one... And now this, possibly your best yet! I didn't know Afro_Stud liked Barbie dolls, nor did I know that he killed Hitler for not finishing the Pokémon quest (they told us it was suicide! This is madness!). A great Flash, in your time-honored tradition of improvement between movies.

I should finish off this review with a little factoid I learned today. You see, if it's really the birthday of the Afro_Stud character, you might like to know that he shares his birthday with the nation of Israel. Happy 60th to Israel and an even happier 21st to Afro_Stud!

Murray responds:

Heh, I was looking forward to the Mudkip episode just to see how all the btards would react to it. Sadly, it didn't, but at least Afro_Stud covered mine and my friend's favourite Pokemon.

To be honest, I don't think I've made much improvements since Pokemon Bahamut Version. This to me feels very small compared to A Bahamut's Xmas Tale 2 and Pokemon Bahamut Version. Then again, this isn't what I declare as a major flash of mine. It's just a little flash to wish Afro_Stud a happy birthday.

By a few of my early flashes, I'm guessing you're talking about the ones I did back in 2006 when I started working on Flash more often. Yeah, those may have seem very sucky quality-wise, but to me, they bring back memories and I still love them. However, for the quality, I do like to look back at how my graphics were then and how they are now.

You think this flash is the best of mine yet? :O Heh, I don't think this is one of my best, but if one really enjoys this flash, then I can't complain as long as they're enjoying my works.

Afro_Stud liking barbie dolls is just a bit of fun on h im. He loves the Barbie Girl song.

Yes, today IS Afro_Stud's birthday. And thanks for another great review SoulMaster71 (didn't know you were in the Review Request Club :o).

WHA--!?

OK, OK, I usually wouldn't give this much of a score... But I've seen tons of attempted combos on /b/, and only twice have they worked out. This one, and one of the Team Rocket motto, with drawings in the same style. I don't know what it is, but someone is apparently damn good at making combos with Pokémon and not having some moron show up gay everything up with a "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!"

But amazement and shock don't save this submission from its biggest flaw. Namely, it's not much of a movie. Heck, it's just a series of screenshots from 4chan, put together and tweened with the original Pokémon theme in the background. Your friend made this (I have to wonder if he was the one behind the combo, or if he just saw it), you say, so perhaps your friend was only going for a bit of surprise with it, but he could probably do better. Still, my utter amazement at a working combo on /b/ gives this movie a passing score.
4/5, 8/10.

Ah, I remember this one...

Didn't this win Underdog a while back on one of your alts? It's good to see it back.

To say the least, this Flash is... A bit weird. I've heard this sort of thing described as "experimental" before, so I guess that term can be used to describe it. But despite it being odd, this is a rather good submission, for the most part. The music fits fairly well with the graphics, and as always your drawing skills are 100% there. I don't know if this comparison is yet warranted, or ever will be, but keep improving like I've seen you improve, and maybe someday you'll be as good as, or if you're lucky even better than, ZekeySpaceyLizard.

damn man yea

I've got to say, StagBeetle...

You're one hell of an artist when you decide to do something good. The first part of this is good. The water, the fishing, the joke you made about how so many here will think the Metal Gear reference is "awesome", the epic pulling up of the note from the water (lol, I really need to play Ace Attorney sometime), all very good.

But the ending really screws this movie. I would gladly give it a 5 and a 10, but the ending (a never-ending loop of shooting noises) is definitely not to my liking. It's just too loud in comparison to the rest of the movie. And yet overall the movie is still pretty good.
4/5, 8/10.

StagBeetle responds:

tee hee

Video submission, eh?

Usually I don't really care for video submissions. They tend to be crappy pointless home videos that belong on YouTube, not Newgrounds. However, to every rule there is at least one exception... And this movie is one of those exceptions.

For one, the video is funny in itself. The way those three were fighting over the mike, and the attention of the camera... Not unlike myself and some of my friends in real life would do. And then there's the song... Hilarious. It may just be different forms of "fuck", "the", and "shit" over and over in different orders, with a "YEAH!" at the end of the song, but simple as it is it's fucking funny.

Now for the bad parts. First of all, it's not Flash. For me NG submissions should be Flash, barring the occasional My NG or Numa Numa-like classic. But this is one of them, so you don't lose too many points there. And it's a little too short, could probably be longer and not suffer from being overdrawn. But overall, it's not too bad.
3/5, 7/10.

Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder.
