Never before have I seen SUCH a blatant ripoff. It's one thing to imitate the style of another author but you clearly took the exact formula of brawl taunts down to opening, the song, and the segment with two players interacting. The solid snake "I'm too sexy for my box" is also a direct ripoff from brawl taunts. I'm not a fan of brawl parodies in the slightest but this really annoyed me. It's a blue for Christ sake's.
It took you 12 hours to make? That's not something to be proud of. Good flashes can be made quick, yes, but other truly well-made ones take weeks and months at a time. I know you're only 15 and I'm being harsh but just sit down and try to come up with an original idea. A unique way of parodying smash bros that no one else has thought of. Try experimenting. Be ironic in your jokes. Writing "Yay Pink" is going for a cutesy style that obviously buys you points but it's a cheap way of getting your flash rated high. There's no way you can tell me this was just for fun because of the blatant ripoffs. It's stuff like this that's hurting the website and dumbing everyone down and it needs to stop. Now.

Um... no.
I started this at the beginning of this month.
We just worked really hard last night.
I've seen that flash, but it really didn't occur to me that mine is soooo much similar.
I'm not the one who did the "I'm too sexy for my box" thing.
My friend told me to put it in so I did.
You should calm down, this is only the internet.

Definitely think about being a director as I am sure you already are. Only a director's eye would know how he wanted this to look exactly and from the looks of it, I think you got exactly what you were going for. You clearly wanted that "all over the place, excited boy experimenting in his room" a certain way. Either that or you just got lucky in editing. Whatever!
The editing is great and I only take off 1 point because it's a video and this is Newgrounds but that's just a technicality. You've got a good sense of humor and now I want to buy a t-shirt and a TANKMAN. Damn it, Hans!
Author's Response:
yeah i was going for something similar to what you described. i in no way am THAT much of a newgrounds fan boy. i adore it with all my heart, but i was just taking it over the top, of course.

"Artwork is breathtaking but the story is lacking."
the drawings are astounding. From the opening shot to the last. I do not agree with the review below me whatsoever except that the character looks like she's from an e-surance commercial but don't take that the wrong way. That's awesome and a very hard style to get right in flash. The animation was seamless and your multiple angles must've demanded redrawing and reanimating over and over.
That being said, I can't help but feel all this talent should be put to better use. Far be it from me to tell a creator what story he should tell but if this flash had the promise of a brilliant plot we would be looking at Newgrounds' next juggernaut. I'm not saying it won't take off or that you shouldn't of set a sci-fi piece around aliens but I really hope you go somewhere with the storyline. It seems that here on newgrounds you either have a great story or great artwork. Anyway, I look forward to the next episode.
Author's Response:
well. i have the story set out. from start to finish. i have it all set out. and it's great. theres me and two of my friends brainstorming here dude. there's even a reason to why the aliens are bipedal, which was commented on not being realistic, but who the fuck knows what aliens look like. i'm making sci fi. not realism. sooo if u stay in tune, you'll see a great story unfold.

Great job. This is a very funny song by flight of the concords and it was just screaming to be animated. A lot of their songs could be animated quite well actually. I like your take on the disfigured boy. Also, I thought your dragon model was nice too. One thing I have to say is that for a good part of the flash, they're not doing much but looking at each other. You could've maybe drawn them from a different angle or something. Else than that, the flash was overall good, funny, and a good idea. Nice job.

Thanks, yeah I guess ;P

The score should be much higher. This must have taken quite a while to do and it was well worth it. I love your style and it seems reminiscent of Akira Toriyama and Dragonball. The actual mangas I mean. Great job :)
Author's Response:
Dragonball!! I am also favorite!

The Office bytesize at the beginning has been my favorite for a while. Poor Ted. I'm glad you threw these together so viewers could comment on them. How about sharing the recipe of Mark's famous potato salad?

I've been dancing to this song alone in my room! The song was a perfect choice and I'm very surprised that this was a collab as there was a similar style throughout the flash. You guys should be very proud of yourselves. You got a time bomb.
Author's Response:
We tried our best to coordinate, going out of our way to make sure it splcied together right. :D
Thanks!

"Oh, that strawberry clock...such a tease :P"
great job, dark soldier, you're getting the hang of flash basics. If you keep practicing, you'll improve a lot faster than you ever thought possible.
Author's Response:
Thanks Aeon!
I can't wait to be just as good as you >_<

nice job, dark soldier. the randomness of this flash accurately represents the clocks of newgrounds in my opinion :P. And where the hell WAS that gun going!? O.o
Author's Response:
Glad you liked it :)
the gun was suppose to be there for a reason but i then changed my mind. So i wanted to make it seem as if strawberry clock is crazy/dizzy.
Dark~
