It's good for what it is.
The only issues that I have with it are stylistic, so feel free to disregard anything I say.
First of all, I think you may have overdone the photoshopping on that arena. It does not fit well with the characters. It's too "colorful", too "happy". Secondly, I couldn't help but think "why do they bleed rose petals?" when I looked at the hitsparks.
Still, for a short collab entry, it was very good.

I totally agree with you. The background was way too happy, but this was a background that a guy made for me for something else, cause I really don't know how to use photoshop and make the backgrounds look good. Since i had a spare background I just though I'd used it.
The hitsparks, I know they are pretty weak. Their weren't supposed to be rose petals! lol! I just put a bunch of thing together very randomly and thats what I came up with.
I wish I could learn how to use photoshop to make everything look "pretty" or "flashy", but it took me all of last summer to learn how to animate by myself with the tutorials in the NG collection. I really don't have the time to go through all of that again!
Thanks for the review R1665!
Hmmmmm....
I must say that your choreography was innovative despite the occasional anime cliches. You know how to make a good fight.
However, I had to deduct a couple of points for construction. While that sound loop at the beginning is easily avoidable, it should never have been an issue in the first place. It's an easy fix and you should have taken care of it before submitting. That kind of detail matters. You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, even those who don't follow directions.
Also, when you have your action sequences separated by story, you should have some sort of chapter select feature. It would be a different case if you had one long action sequence, but waiting between them is tedious during later viewings when I am already familiar with the plot line.
Kudos on the text. You actually managed to have floating text that wasn't intrusive! Good job!
R1665
thanks! and your right the beginning was a big problem! Im acually thinking about taking it out... knowing people wont listen to it lol
Well done,
It was a little too Dragonball Z-ish for my tastes, but that is entirely subjective and bears no weight on your score.
The "floating text" needed some grammatical cleanup and was very intrusive when used during the fight.
Also, asking the question "should I continue" is basically just shamelessly fishing for compliments. There's really nothing wrong with that, just try not to be so obvious about it!
The question of whether or not you should continue should be up to you, not your viewers. Animate because you want to. Don't do it just to appease the masses. That road leads to mediocrity.
Need proof? Look at Hollywood.

The reason why your animation on Newgrounds is slower than the original is because your background music track is an event sound. You should set it to stream. A streamed musical track forces the video to keep pace with the audio. Without a streamed musical track, you will always lose about 25% of your speed when the movie is played through a browser.
----------------
As for the content of your movie, I love the speed of your choreography. There are still a few things that you need to learn about the Flash program itself, but you're pretty solid otherwise.
You mostly need to learn how to properly work with sound. Sound makes more of a difference than you realize. Learn how to properly use and compress it.

Just so you know...
That was the most hardcore laundry-folding I have ever seen.
10/10 for the bitch slaps. Good times!
R1665
lol the laundry scene was the first scene i did thanks for the review
Pretty good!
The last couple of major hits really sold it for me! We so very rarely see that applied to Street Fighters. It's very refreshing!
Oh, and have you TRULY "watched them all"?
R1665
there was only two or three pages of them of course i only did one search and that was for Street Fighter but i don't think i could have found much more
Not bad!
You're off to a good start!
Let me give you a tip: You don't have to dedicate one specific layer to each fighter. I noticed that Ken's sprites held the top position during the whole movie, which makes it look awkward when Ryu lands blows "behind" Ken. Instead of dedicating one layer each to "Ken" and "Ryu", make generic layers such as "Top Fighter" and "Bottom Fighter". You can then swap which layers you put the characters in depending on which one you need to be on "top". Just make sure that you can keep up with it.
Although there are some exceptions, the attacker should generally be on top.

Wow a review from u is just wow! I been working on Ep one and i noticed that too. You just made it sound easier for me to do tyvm! Ppl also said that the camera was a problem so i programmed a Virtual camera a few days ago to help with that. Thx for the tip and im dying to see Gambit fight. Making him evil was bad ass idea!
Well...
This is depraved and scary. It is clearly indicative of a very warped mind.
...and it's AWESOME!!!!
5/5 10/10
R1665
Very good!
I can't say that I agree with your assertion that your choreography "blows". Considering the very limited nature of Castlevania sprites, your choreography was excellent!
You know what? Considering that so many talented new sprite artists are now springing up these days, I think we might just be seeing the beginning of a new golden age in sprite fighting!
A Proxicide-inspired second Renaissance, perhaps?
R1665
Thank you kindly!
I don't deny that the only reason I made this was due to the MKvSF series, and yes, I am also awaiting your Exiles episodes! Ironically, I was working on a Guile v John Talbain before this one and decided to scrap it due to being inexperienced at the time. Then, I see Guile and Talbain in your own series years later.
It's a funny old sprite-fighting world!
Brilliant!
This movie puts chills up my spine from the first second to the last! That's a very rare thing for me...
