Description
I!!!!!!! AM BACK BABY!!!!!!!!Finally after, A move to a new house, a summer full of events, Procrastinating a lot, fighting a small case of depression, and now a recent leg pain, I finally got this done. (sort've).
This is officially my first sprite animation on Flash CS6. When I mean officially, I mean a animation that you can find by just typing it, and there it is, instead of finding something good by luck that gets over shadowed by crap, plus some good quality graphics. (if not Decent).
--Sadly though this may or may not be my last, because I'm using creative cloud from adobe themselves. I'm paying them $20 a month, and I have until the end of December to decide rather to renew my membership for another year, or stop paying them and stop using the product.---
That's why I had to cut this short. That and I got tired of working on this. This was supposed to be done before August started, but I put too much heart into this animation, when I shouldn't have been.
I hope I credited the right people, because I used sprites from alot of packs. Making the credits made me feel uneasy. They work, but theres a sound glitch when you press the back button, that I don't how to fix or how it got there in the first place.
If You don't know who Koolzone is, he's a sprite animator (was or is) on hatena (when it was still hip) that made really good flipnotes, that inspired me to stoop to his level in the end. Yeah, before I even knew AlvinEarthworm existed, Koolzone caught my attention first, thats why AE is at the bottom, because of the order of inspiration. He gose by the name of Azure, but since the shut down I haven't heard from him since.
Another person I forgot to credit was for showing me Audacity. I suggest you check his tutorial about countdowns, because his advice can help with what you need for stuff like this, your wanting to be a animator. Heres the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwq9B0…
Also a big thanks to for the lightning effect. He makes great effects I suggest checking him out.
The Beta testers are people I invited to my stash and commented about so far to help make this better, so don't be confused.
Well I did what could for this video. Basically the bottom line is, the real purpose of this is for me to master flash animation, get your reaction and opinions, so I can do better for the next one, and seriously my next one is something alot of you guys have Been wanting for a long time. I just hope Death battle doesn't beat me too it.
Yeah another thing, I KNOW, death battle killed the debate between both franchise's, but thats not going to stop me for making stuff like this, because they're popularity is still unmatched. If there's some of you out there (and I'm sure there is) that just hate mario and sonic just because they're a butt hole. Then clean your act, drink some mouthwash, get a girlfriend, and walk away.
With that said, what do you think of this animation? If You like it that much, I might come back to finish in one video, when I finish my ultimate project. I want opinions and suggestions so I can do much better.
Well thats that. Leave your comments below, and help support for more.

Small Update:
I posted this on youtube, but there is a small difference, some parts had to be cut out, and the music doesn't stop.

Nicely done on this, it's the first good sprite fight I've seen this year. It's really good for your first animation, a little rough around the edges, but it's really something great. Seeing you do so well with Flash almost makes me want to get back into the animating game. Looking forward to more in the future.
Btw, I was unaware you were using CS6, if you plan on doing more Sprite Animations in the future I would recommend switching to Macromedia Flash. It's a more spirite-user friendly program to my understanding.

Yeah, but do know where I can download Macromedia flash legally?
My Dad got on my case about it when he saw it, and said stuff related to it being copyrighted, and stealing or something. Unless you know the right site to get it, and legally, I'm open to listening.
Thanks for the feed back btw.

You can download it legally through Amazon for $26.00 last I checked, not a bad price considering you're paying $20 to use a program. That's basically your only option for legal that I know of, since Macromedia went out of business, so it isn't sold anywhere else to my knowledge.
And no problem, always happy to give some constructive input.

But hey, if you can, could you give me a link to the cheap program? I'm having trouble finding it on amazon, and I'm getting results that cost a crap ton of money.

I saw this, but are you sure this is not a book instead of the software?

Huh, didn't even notice that. Sorry about that, I didn't look very closely at the page.
I actually can't find the software on Amazon, I could've sworn Shad mentioned it being sold there a few months ago... But I guess it's not too surprising, everything considered. Sorry, if you want the program, you'll probably have to do it illegally.

Seriously...? Okay, thanks for trying to help. I might find another way around it, but until then I need to use CS6.
I just posted the YouTube version on my Channel, and it runs more smoother, but with a few catches with the audio. When I converted it with swivel, the music just kelp playing through the credits.

Nice little brawl, good sir. Nothing personal, but I'd like to point out a few things. Mostly things that you can't help, I'm sure.
-I'm a little tired of animators using the Superstar Saga and Sonic Advance Sprite templates. I dunno, I just kinda want to see another game's sprite style showcased more. Like the improved sprites from Bowser's Inside Story.
-I would advise to touch up on the detail of the sprites. Not with the animations, but with how the pixels are arranged. I especially hate when animators don't even bother to remove those goddamn grey specs on the outline. I hope you could understand how much cleaner they would look if you ammend that. Same with not rounding the edges. It just makes the corners look jagged and square when you have an unnecessary pixel there.
-Audio spikes a lot. Happens with sprite fights, especially. Just use the normalization effect.
That's really it, though. I'm really fussy with this sort of thing, so don't take it too hard.
(I'm glad I could help you with that recommendation, too.)

Well thanks for the advice and nothing taken or given.
But however I have a counter to say:
1)- If you didn't read the desc. right, this animation is to test my skills in flash. So aka I'm a beginner at this, and I don't know much. Yes I noticed some of the graphic problems, but I got sick of working on this, and I wanted to work on my next one that I wanted to see on the internet for a long time. Heck, you might love it (I've been studying you). Its a flash animation only few done, but never finished, or just f#1 up with the quality. I tired of not finding it on the internet and I intent to fix it.
2)- You don't have to worry much about the SS mario for now, but my next one involves Sonic again, against my favorite 2d platform character, heck to hint it out you mentioned the X version in one of you count downs, but I'm going to use the origanal. (can't spoil it). Also I can't find any other good sonic sprites out there, and I dislike those edited graphic versions of sonic advance and battle, because they just don't feel right in these types of videos. The classic versions okay, but I prefer the modern over the classic (it just doesn't fit right ya-know)
3)- How or do I use the normalization effect? I couldn't understand that part.
Other than all that, yes thanks for the advice, and I understand.

-Well, yeah. I figured this was a skills test. Everyone's gotta do that starting out. Was just wanting to give some tips for a little more flare for your work later on.
-It's an effect in Audacity. It makes it so that the audio levels stabilize themselves; never going too far over or too far under the average volume. Ergo...it keeps consistent volume levels. You can find it in Audacity under "Effect". Experiment with it for a little bit and you'll see what I mean.

Okay now that helps. The Audacity part. Thank you.
And again thank you for the tips.
My next video, will have more class now.
