GuitarKirby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Funky Stick Fight 3]

Hm.

Well, I always enjoy stick fights, and I recognize the fact that it's an attempt to make something original out of a genre that's had virtually everything done in it already. The only problem is that it doesn't work. It felt like a very slow fight, not to mention that I never got the impression that they were dancing except for one or two very short moments, and they felt forced. The animation, as I think has been pointed out by a few others, is choppy at best. It's a shame, because it's a very novel idea. I think what really ruined the whole thing was fluidity; that's what you need to work on more than anything, judging by this animation.

On the nice sides, though, you do have some sweet, jazzy music in this, and it was nice to have such different colors between the sticks, so that I never got mixed up between who was who.

Yep, I've gathered some people on newgrounds are way too observant and catch every corner I cut haha. Thanks for at least being nice about it :)

[The Ness Collab]

-snicker-

Every time I watch it gets funnier and cooler. Ness has some kick-ass kills, and having Michael Jackson as the final character makes it one of the coolest things I've ever seen, ever.

Short-Factor responds:

I keep saying that too but no one understands me.

[You are a pirate!!!]

Worth 10? Nah. Worth 9? Yeah, sure.

It was, admittedly, very cool. Nice animation, quite funny, and I can't help but love this song. But there are a lot of parts where not much is really going on. For the most part, I enjoyed it. Well played, sir.

Steinberg responds:

Yah I thing I was a little lazy, could have done much more.

[Tails: UC Episode 0.5]

HOLYJESUS.

It's official. You are now an NG legend to me. I hope I'm this good someday... That was some of the smoothest animation I've seen in awhile. This felt very refreshing to watch. It's original, while still keeping a Sonic-styled feel to it. Amazing, 10/10. I still wish I knew better ways to reduce the filesize like this though... You know, without losing sound quality and such.

Blank-Mage responds:

Yeah, file size is always a problem with me. I'm getting better, but chances are episode one will still be scraping the 10MB limit for reasons I won't disclose just yet.

I've noticed that almost everyone who comments remarks on how smooth the animation is, which is interesting; I really wasn't aiming for 'smooth' so much as 'wicked fast'. Makes you wonder what I can achieve when I start TRYING for smooth animation, eh? Ah, this is gonna be AWESOME.
