I met Daigo Umehara for the first time today at EVO 2K9! I'm such a fangirl, heh.

got my ass kicked at Capcom vs SNK by a couple of pro players
& got to play some GUILTY GEAR; I'm so obsessed with that game these days.

Oh, I met a few Newgrounds users there too, so if you were one of them and happen to be reading this, it was nice to meet you :)

THANK YOU to everyone who came up to me at AX and told me they liked Brawl Taunts or quoted it in the game room! It was very meaningful :3

It was fun playing people in Street Fighter. I didn't get to play too much Brawl aside from entering the tournament, but the random team I joined with won second place in Rock Band, lmao.

Also, be sure and wish Sonicmega a big congratulations for winning the tile of AX Idol 2009! He's one of my favorite voice actors here on NG and has contributed a lot to my projects and others'.

So I can't go to Comic-Con after all.
I didn't buy a ticket earlier because I didn't know if I'd be in town then, and now even the one-day passes are sold out, so... looks like I won't be going this year.

I will be going to Anime Expo, though, so hopefully I'll have the chance to meet some of you there.

Occasionally I read reviews on a variety of submissions just for the lulz, and there are some pretty funny ones, so I might as well share. Please note: The majority of these were NOT directed at me or Brawl Taunts...and YES they are actual reviews! XD

rilly funny it was great i wold recamend it to some of my frends some of em the others wold think i am a fag

I didn't really find it funny it was kind of imature and there wasn't animation skill involved
>>Author's Response:
thats a pretty mature comment for someone that has a cock in its profile image.

This is awesome. It would be even better if I could unlock someone other than that jiggly-fuck. but people like blade and any stupid sonic pallet swap should not be in at all I hate them

Your a complete fucking reject and a faggoty one at that. Thats just my opinion though.

The necks were a litte too large (No, they were fat. As big as the head, come on), but other than that, awesome! Made me laugh, actually. Which is pretty hard, since I'm german.

ITIT WAS FIGGIN AWESOME ,I CANT LIVE WITH OUT THIS STUFF ITS SO AWESOME ITS LIKE IM LINDSY LOHAN AND YOUR FLASH IS DRUGS ,OR IT IS LIKE IM PARIS HILTON AND UR FLASH IS DICK I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH

You like to attend the same schools, use the same water fountains, use the same restaurants, park in the same places, and live in the same neighborhoods as Honky McWhiterson? You can be thankful for that, because your fathers and grandfathers didn't have those luxuries.

macke more and lunger flash

But what's with purple he sounds more retarded than gay, unless he was a retarded gay guy then that makes some sense... but good job on humor then acting could be better that's why I gave it an 8. Good not perfect.

Pay no attention to guamdude. He left his brain in guam, apparently, and doesn't know much about 'software' as they call it.

i do not like all the bad owrds but i love the ending
>>Author's Response:
Oh no bad words!!!!!!

This submission basically sums up itself in the first minuet, not very good and have seen better mercey point
>>Author's Response:
you spelled minute and mercy wrong.

You're a big fan of Egoraptor... but you don't like any of his work? Careful, the people around here worship Egoraptor. They have a shrine over there where they kiss his feet daily. It's to the left of the Rina-chan statue, both of which are at the base of the 800-foot David Hayter monument.

The animation was of an unnaceptable standard, to make a flash movie, that is actually good, you need to spend time on it, like, more than a week, will make a good short one... No time was spent on this at all...

Hey, I just got angry because so much people use those annoying computer-voices for talking-parts in their flashs! It's ok when they don't dare to speak the dialogs themselves or something else but I can't hear those ugly voices anymore!! (I don't want you people to hate me now, I just think that when you use computervoices, the quality gets lost)

I HATE THAT GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE GAME YOU'RE PRACTICALLY BROKE ANYWAY AND WHEN YOU KILL HIM YOU CAN'T GET HIS STUFF AND IN THE ADVANCED MODE HE DOESN'T COME BACK SO HE ABSOLUTELY USLESS
(People think this is a useless review.)

the real way to get rid of them is to STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU THICK HEADED DICK!

Hey look all the people who like your videos, look fuckin gay... Well at least you will have some gay friends to watch your stupid fuckin videos with you.

Thing of the most vulgar way to say poop... How did this end up on the front page? I remember when NG used to have all the sweetest flash... now... its this dreck... What a shame, this used to be my favourite site... Now I visit it once a month... what a shame...

this is a good flash, but their voices are all "blarghenschmarghen." Shadow says "HE-E-E-E-ELLL" instead of "hell"

I know about the sequel that is in audio on youtube nut no sequel on newgrounds and i noteced someone used this audio in on of there flashes
>>Author's Response:
what?

That was so funny! Now I know why Link can't talk. And, even though I have a YOUTUBE account, I dont know how to put videos/recordings on there. So Im no threat either. Buuuuuuuuut......my friend, Jake, has a dvd of The-Big-Gay-Dance's background song. He came to schoo, turned on his radio, and did The-Big-Gay-Dance at lunch. (PS: I AM going to summer school. Only cause' I have to.)

i WATCHED THIS 1 AND THE LAST 1 7 TIMES IN A ROW NON STOP ALTERNATING!! IT MADE ME CRY IN LAUGHTER{well technically i was BAWLING in laughter..}!!!!!!!! im still crying as i write this review!!!!!!!

you have to remember we don't need people trying to state the obvious to us we are not mindless 2 year olds we know what Common sense is. and no offense to you but please no more poor Jokes. I'm not trying to be mean but it really gets on my nerves when someone tries to pull of a mediocre Puns...

Let me ask a question: What happens when you take a flash that SUCKED BALLS and you create yet another abomination to follow it up? You get another Newgrounds garbage movie that only deserves as being used as toilet paper. Wait... what am I saying? To clean my ass with toilet paper like this is like brushing your teeth with a plunger: it's already so ingrained with shit that it serves no purpose.

What the f*ck does NSWF mean anyway? Im not a complete and total internet nerd, and dont speak your language, im just a mild internet nerd. It just wasnt.... good... it was just some poor excuse to make cartoon porn. Now to forth children, vote your 10s and jack off in the socks your mother just cleaned for you..

he has the look like holy shit a member of the female gender making erotic suggestions this is the first time ive ever heard this! wait till tom hears on my myspace..... o tom youll always be there for me

first dont make it sound like ur balls have droped second so funny lool

LAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! ok seriously that sould not even be under games first off and the next time u got people talking in to the mic make sure that they dont wrap there lips over the mic! you both sound like a bunch of retards on a microphone ranting about some dumb shit, and a little hint, DONT YELL SO LOUD ON YOUR MIC, IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT!!!!!!! gay wad !

Kutos, and much better than that Kitty Krew crap, thats just sad...

Don't be so emo, and if all you do on the PC is look at porn, you don't deserve to use the PC.

You're voice acting is not good also. The voice used doesn't portray Mario's at all, is too quiet, and simply sounds bad. It's amazing that you keep making these when almost nobody likes them. Sorta like those stupid cat clock crew movies... how they dont get blammed in 3 sec is beyond me

Why you chose to call them Dicks instead of Parts is either beyond my understanding or a sad attempt at humor. The very first one was amazing, but it wasn't even a "funnie" so, no stars, and blam.

I still found "Greatest Cartoon Ever" pretty funny just because it was a string of poorly made square VG characters holding hand while singing how gay they were

the only gud part was the very 1st one for the rest it physically hurt to watch them i mean i feel like i just passed a gull stone

Everyone's always saying they want to play against me and don't like the fact that I refuse to play Brawl online. SO, if you want to challenge me at either Brawl or Melee in person and you aren't too far from Los Angeles, come to the UCLA tournament this Saturday! All the details are here:

http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx ?id=5718

I'm also going to be announcing matches, so...

I finally caved in and got a Twitter last night. I get really bored waiting for my turn at the arcade sometimes, or I'm just out doing something and want to spam things from my phone.

So, if for some reason you're interested in my random updates, you can feel free to follow me.

General Newgrounds Update: Just so everyone knows, this is the ONLY official Newgrounds page of Rina-chan! Please disregard any trolls/impostors you may find, whether here or on YouTube. My only YouTube account (which I rarely use) is "MizukiTenkou"; any other accounts claiming to be me are fake.

Hey guys! I know there are quite a few Street Fighter flashes in the making right now, so I'd like to offer my voice to anyone who may need it~ I've put together a demo reel of me voicing Sakura, Cammy, Chun-Li and Crimson Viper, in that order:

http://suzumiya-haruhi.net/streetfight er.mp3

(The Sakura one is more of my own interpretation of her character than the English dub.. but I could voice match that if you really want me to.)

I'm going to be moving and stuff but after I get my xbox live account set up (...finally) I will let you guys know so you can play me. ;; (Despite all the girly voices in the above audio file, I use Zangief and Sagat. Hahaha.)

I've been getting quite a few emails about this, so let me just say that I apologize for the extreme delay in the Brawl Taunts collab being released. Unfortunately, several of our animators ran into unavoidable real life issues which severely delayed the finishing of their segments. Right now I am only waiting on two animators and I have already spoken with them and they are almost done. I am hesitant to give any sort of release date as I certainly didn't expect the collab would take as long as it did, but everything is done except for these two parts which are almost done, so yeah. (Please don't ask if you can contribute voices or jokes---all the scripting and audio was finished months ago and we are just waiting on the finishing touches for the animation!)

PS: Many people have asked if I am going to Anime Expo. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to make it---I've got to move back home (and out of California) due to financial and other issues. I MAY be able to go to Comic-Con, but that depends. If anything, you can catch me at the UCLA Smash Tournament in May.

This weekend, I am being flown to New York as a guest for I-CON! If any Newgrounders are planning to attend, please stop by and say hi. :D

I hate doing this, but long story short: I'm in a terrible financial situation right now, and I really really could use some donations.

http://suzumiya-haruhi.net/donate.html (the paypal link is on there)

Anything at all really helps. If you liked Brawl Taunts, if you liked my voice work or liked the voices I did for your flash, even if you just want to fight me in Brawl...I would appreciate it so much. ;_;
