Wow

That get an automatic ten for actually showing that to her. And because it was funny. If you want more constructive critisism, try to add shading and tone up your graphics. But that was a great song, especially if you made it without anyone else.

Whee I made it go from 3.14 to 3.15

Great!

The graphics were great! I really liked the style you animated it under, a bit choppy but none the less good! Sound was amazingly in sync with the combat and other scenes. The battling was really cool.

It didn't make much sense because there was no background, but I think you guys have that down in the real movie.

Good job, hope to see Reality Lost soon!

Pwn

It owns, because it had batman in it. Great graphics and animations, no quarrels here. Good humor, but it should have been longer.

Batman didn't sound like he really does, and bean's voice just didn't fit him (too muffled.) Although trying to duplicate Batman's voice may be too much to ask.

Vote 5!

Lord-Simpleton responds:

I don't even know what batman sounds like in America. Here in Belgium he sounds pretty much the same as this (ofcourse different, I can't change their voices in such a way , that it would seem an exact copy...)

And I've got some new voice actors, and a new icrophone, so the soundwill get better as well in the next episode

Yay

It's good because it has a point. And because monkeys own. But I think you should fix some of the sound and the monkeys legs, they're like stubs.

Overall: Pwn

BritishMoose responds:

Hummn, thanks. I'm still inexperienced in flash so i i'm gonna have trouble figuring out how to cover the loops :S
If i make more monkey films i'll sort out the legs. Thanks a lot! :D

Erm

Ok, well to be honest I JUST got this song like a week ago and listened to it a lot, so it was old. You didn't use the right graphics for the metaphors Avril Lavigne described, either. The graphics weren't anything above averange, but the animation fit well. Learn to make arms and legs a bit shorter -- and to sync mouths to the correct volume/tone the sound is at.

I gave you a 10 because I would have made a music video on this -- except you beat me too it.

On another note -- you spelt character wrong and that was a big run on sentence in your description.

ReporterClock responds:

A week? I had to listen to it every day for two months when I was making the animation.

I typo because I'm Israeli, I'm used to hebrew.

If you ask me the metaphores were great, but you're entitledto your own opinion, same goes for lip syncing.

Errm

Ok, well... the reasons you got marked down was:

Graphics: You made none of them, a lot of them didn't match with the quality of each others.

Style: You use nothing but sprites, your grammar was horrible, you used internet smilies and you even called theif black belt.

Sound: There was no voice for any of the characters, except there was a voice for a snorting laughing monster. Which was a bit funny, until fighter was yelling like a newb on Counter-Strike.

Violence: It wasn't much, it didn't last long, but it was ok.

Interactivity: You could have included a play button for the talk bubbles and stop it each time there was (so the person can read at their own pace.)

Humor: The grammar with internet smilies and no voice for any of the people was what brought it down. The reason why I penalize you for no voices is because it helps to know what tone they speak in (thus you can avoid ^^.)

It was ok.

You still have to realize your eyes aren't a style of work, just a graphic flaw. Fix that, and make the bodies bigger then the heads. Also, animate it more smooth, fix the grammer errors (turrent>>turret, coarse>>course.)

The sound was average, just don't use so many damn bands and make fun of other music by implying it tourchers people.

Violence... was brought down even worse because of your animations and graphics.

The humor was dull, it was too predictable.

Overall... it's not good in my book.

Nice

In spite of floyd-boy's review, I rated this all 10's. Because of his stupidity, he cannot review properly. Good flash, just needs different backgrounds and to be longer, more indepth story would be nice.

Err

Okay, well... I'm going to be truthful.

Your physics of the actual game are off, and if you were trying to simulate life, you didn't do very good job at that either.

You incorperated random orcs from WC2+3, the random badguy girl Jan to be good (who used about 2% of her actual fighting ability), Bat was the main character(???), and about half the actual full LF2 crew to be bad. Not that I'm saying alterating characters to fit _your_ plot is bad, but it's a bit annoying to people who have played the game to see the some of the bad guys good and some of the good guys bad.

Like Crono from Crono Trigger being the big boss guy in a random flash movie, having Frog as his evil henchmen who dies in 5 seconds. I don't think any fans of that game would like that. This is what's going to happen if you keep continuing with no background story.

You also have 2 other people helping you make this movie, they should be working on the story more, because not a lot of things I'm recieving from your movie isn't clicking. There is no background story that they or you provided... you could have made one up. Atleast something like "Bat and Jan realized the error of their ways when fighting the little fighter crew, that they were on the wrong side. They both had a relationship with each other and Bat was drafted to the war... ect." Also explaining why the LF crew turned bad, like "Half the LF crew didn't like the direction that the crew was going, so they went against them." Or something along those lines (of course, both explained in a much more detailed way).

You also don't have any disclaimers for any of your movies, atleast none that I've noticed. Since atleast 80% of the reviewers are around the age of 13, they've been asking for things like your email, a link to a forum, and other things not endorsed by LF company that you've provided. Not to sound mean, but you should've contacted them before making things like this. These rules really only apply more strongly to games that were made more recent then final fantasy series.

Onward to my own personal opinion of your movies... it seems like some people have voted 5 and left 1 or 2 setence reviews with overall score 10. It's quite fine to get your friends to help you get your movies popular, but they left nothing helpful to further improve your actual movies. If you were going to become one of the most popular animators on newgrounds, it would have happened on it's own. Downvoting other series on newgrounds about little fighters and saying you made one first is NOT a good way at all to make yourself a respected animator.

Don't take anything _too_ seriously that of what I said above, I've only told you suggestions. In no way am I saying you suck and that you should quit life or anything. A lot of things in your movie need improving that not many other people saw, and I'm just pointing them out.

I found your movie while searching on newgrounds just to see what competition I was going to have, finding out that there was someone who made a series before me was a little dissappointing at first, but I realized any human would want to do something like this after finding something that they favored in life. I know I would.

Overall, please do consider some of the things I said above. I know your going to write a response to this just so you can have the last word, it might be something about my being a light aura or that "you never had any daily features!" Well I submitted my movies over 2 years ago, just so you know. Of course, if you weren't going to be steamed about my review, I consider you to be one of the better artists on newgrounds that can be eventually, ranked #1 with their movies. :)

MaxR responds:

Ian, Ian, Ian... Sorry it took me so long to respond to your review, it was just a couple of weeks ago that I started making Ch.7. And for all your questions are answerd in Ch.7 (in the extras), check it out! It just came out. Except a couple of questions I want to personally answer it for you, the reason so called Bat and Jan is good instead of Bat, if you havent notice the title of my movies its Little Fighter "ALPHA", and what's alpha, it's the beginning, things will happend that will fix and change the story. And I agree with you, most of my fans are 13 years old. But you're 14, so you're around there. I'll appreciated if you reviewed my Ch.7. Thanks again!

It's good

The sound has decreased in quality, which isn't a nice touch. Although, you did a good job at portraying on how life was in '29.

I can't really judge this because your doing it based on '29, however.

y helo thar buttsecks? I was 12 when I submitted NG Guardian, Fei Long VS. Strawberry(?), Ultimate Cheeseburger, and Addicted. Best pop rank on 6/28: #76 I feel it is my duty to state that even though there is no popular rank anymore.
