[Sakura vs Karin]

Sprite animation for me is like my relationship with Dragon Ball. I adore the original Dragon Ball for the very straightforward martial arts display and struggle without much flare or uneccessary excess to the process.

Although still a fan of Dragon Ball Z, I found that the overuse of repetitive flare and excess to be a bad turning point for me. The point of the analogy is this, modern day sprite animation either focuses on the fundamentals of animation or simply flare and repetition. What I enjoyed about this animation in particular is a subtle blend of great, basic animation and a few "modern" elements and effects.

More bluntly put, I find myself enjoying this animation much more than work by say.. Proxide or some of the other bigger names in sprite animation. You've done a great job taking two sometimes counter-acting elements of the genre and formed an accurate and balanced presentation of them together! I really do look forward to seeing more work like this, and I'll be keeping an eye on you in my favourites.

((P.S: Story wise, I think there could have been a more elaborate background on why Karin was using the Satsu no Hadou plus Sakura's minor use of it as well (Air hadouken, Gou hadouken, etc) but it didn't effect the enjoyment at all, this is just coming from a long-time Capcom fan, heh.))

P.S. Reply(lol): Everything WAS explained when it was a series, a week ago... I just simply smashed it down to a vs flash, but I couldn't take out the story elements between or it would look really stupid, trust me I tried :P

[X vs. Zero]

Very high quality work considering it is a sprite animation! I loved your use of the original sound effects and the clips/introduction segment.

The battle itself is very fluid and accurate, my only suggestion is if you do more Rockman X4-5 style animations is to rip some of the vocal sound FX. You can't go wrong with Zero's japanese voice in those games! Cheers for sharing.

Aw dude, Meat n fucks? I'll take one of those right FUCKING NOW.

[Girl Gamer]

OH NO I NEED BACKUP!

[Incident:110A]

I love how nobody got the memo on "DO NOT SNEAK ATTEMPT ON JESUS!"

Poor l337 squad..

Great work as always, Krinkels!

[Adventure time (the show)]

Nice, interesting style and just needs to be a bit longer! You've got good jokes too, lets see some more!

[Three Skins Without Men]

A beautiful, yet obscure journey into your mind, Firthy. I can't imagine how much work you've put into this, it looks so painful to organize even from a viewer's standing. You've come a long way, and it has been a pleasure to see your artwork & animation grow throughout the years. The music as always perfected the atmosphere of the film and the production is flawless. Much respect!

I do now patiently await your next piece and as always can not wait to see more!
