[Street Fighter Epic Ep.4]

Solid!

An all around good Street Fighter battle. My only critique is that for all the beating they took, they never showed it. I'm not proposing a health bar or anything, but if 2 guys are gonna beat the snot out of each other for 5 minutes, you'd think they'd at least be staggering a bit towards the end.

In other news, Dark Arcuied? Vs Street Fighter? You have just earned my rapt attention.

[Mario Vs Sonic Entry]

Huge improvement from Mario vs Bowser.

Great pacing, nice effects, solid animation with a few custom edited sprites and little touches that usually go unnoticed (eye movement being one of them), fantastic use of backgrounds, and good use of powerups... There's really nothing I don't like about this one, great job. (Well, 9 because it's Mario vs Sonic with no evident plot, but hey, 9 is nothing to scoff at.)

[Prelude to the One]

You are clearly someone worth paying attention to.

As far as stick battles go, this was one of the best. I mean, in addition to fantastic and realistic combat, it was pretty humorous AND made excellent use of both weapons and the environment.

You. Kick. Ass.

[Sonic Vs. Metal Sonic]

Nice!

You get some off for not having a plot, but hey, it's not Shadow vs Sonic! Anyway, you avoided the usual sprite pitfall; too much damn charging. In fact, you only really had 2 charges, the rest was fast-paced action, and nicely done action at that. Smooth tweens, good frames per second, no real lag issues, a great sprite short all-around.

By the way, you should always cite your sources, sprite rippers usually ask for credit on their sheets.

[Kirby Vs. Castlevania]

Well, I like that it's short.

Of course, it's not mind blowing, but you got right to the point and made me chuckle. Good job!

Thanks!

[sonic vs shadow part 4]

Okay, you've got some skills. But still.

But you get a 6 out of 10, and I'll list some reasons.

First, and foremost. Please. For your own sake, and that of spriters everywhere.
NO MORE SHADOW VS SONIC. I've said it before. I'll almost certainly say it again. It seems to me that the only thing ANYONE does is Shadow vs Sonic.

Lot of lines in your tweens. Also, it got LOUD, and the number of massive power ups got a little bit tiring after the 5th one. Which I think was actually 2 at the same time. And why, again, are they even fighting? The background loops were pretty obvious, too.

[Bowser Vs Mario]

Don't know why they's be hating.

Excellent fight scene, but I can't give you higher than a 7 without a plot.

[Sonic vs Shadow P.Duel]

Hmm.

You get a 7, your spriting skills are certainly on par. But I can't give you a 10, because your plot is 'Sonic and Shadow fight because hey what's that over there?'.

And trust me, I've seen a LOT of Sonic vs Shadow here on newgrounds.

[Yoyo vs Chuck]

That was... not what I had expected.

Still an epic battle, though. I loled at the end, there.
