Well, in some ways you and Proxicide have definitely caused a steep drop off in those animations due to the quality.
Thus the reason I've gone in the direction with my SFvsDBZ that I have. I didn't want two similar fighters knocking fists. Even the Chun-Li vs...oh, that's a secret...sorry *wink*
Hey, R1665, I just read your reply to MaverickGuyver, and it sounds like your story is pretty kick ass! If I didn't know better, I'd say that you worked for MARVEL with a story like that! Sure, the X-Men have rebuilt their team many times.... many, many, many, many times.....
But this one is different in which they will be hunting down the old enemy. I love the characters that you choose, by the way. I too get bored of shoto fights (ESPECIALLY STREET FIGHTER ONES, mostly because they all have pretty much the SAME FIGHTING MOVES!! I feel like I'm on crazy pills :P)
I noticed NaNoWriMO is done for 2009, which kind of sucks. I hope that you still keep up your animating at a good speed, not too fast remember.
Send me a PM and tell me if your MK char is a new member of the Exiles. *A-HEM* Don't want those other guys to find out ROFL
By the way, this is off-topic, but do you have a Playstation 3?
MaverickGuyver
Dude this series seriously rocks! I love the exiles inspired concept you've got going on. The fights have been nice and varied (not like many other sprite manip works that become very repetitive) and all the characters we've seen so far are brimming with... Character! ;p
I can't wait for the next installment but I was wondering if you had any plans to do a prequel/prequel series to show the inception of some of the regular cast?
R1665
I have no plans on doing any prequels. Even though the back story is a bit involved, I wrote it that way so that I wouldn't have to start the series at square one and waste a bunch of time explaining everything.
The point of the ambush that I wrote about was to wipe out the "previous team" and let the survivors build a new one without having to go into the origins of the group as a whole.
The rest of the series will be about the building of the new team and the hunting down of those responsible for the destruction of the old team. That's why I will never show the ambush in sprite form or give details of what characters were involved. Those are surprises that I don't want to reveal until you see the individuals in their feature fight.

I take great pride in the variety of my match-ups. When I first started flashing, it seemed impossible to go two days without seeing some repetitive Shoto vs. Shoto sprite fight enter the portal. Since then, I have been very vocal regarding my dislike of what was then the status quo of sprite fighting.
Over the last several months, I've noticed that these kinds of repetitive match-ups seem to be tapering off. I'm not seeing a whole lot of Ryu/Ken/Akuma vs. Ryu/Ken/Akuma matches anymore.
I like to think that I might have had something to do with that. (Is my ego showing yet?)
