Re: Brawl Taunts. PLEASE READ

This is the girl who wrote the script/audio for this flash.
NG won't let coauthors edit the "Author Comments" box, so I hope everyone reads this review.

First, I'm sorry if you don't like my style of humor. Please note that the audio for this mostly came as a boredom thing from some quotes my friends and I came up with while playing Brawl.

Second, I wrote the Sonic taunt when Brawl first came out and everyone was still playing with Smash balls...so it was easy to see how people thought Sonic was "cheap" and play off of his regular taunt with this one. I agree that certain other characters are much more overpowered; HOWEVER, you have to say I'd already predicted the response of the rabid Sega fanboys and added it in already so you guys wouldn't have to leave those reviews ;)

Third, although Kirb and I are both friends of Egoraptor and appreciate his work, I can safely say that neither of us were trying to copy him. Kirb's animation style and my writing style have both been with us since we first started doing this stuff, but it seems to be a trend these days to classify anything quickly drawn and with random cracked-out voice stuff as Awesome ripoffs.

Fourth, I AM WELL AWARE THAT I DID NOT INCLUDE EVERY BRAWL CHARACTER. The main reasoning behind this is because the longer I made the audio, the more work it would be for Kirb to animate. And did anyone notice how little attention span Newgrounds users these days have?

Fifth, no I am not just "someone who's pissed off at the game". I quite enjoy Brawl and am fairly good at it. Again, this was just random shit that I came up with when playing the game with my buddies.

Sixth, Kirb animated this in THREE DAYS... give him a break. If you want to see his serious work, check out the other movies he's made. You won't be disappointed :)

But finally, THANK YOU to everyone who enjoyed this silly little flash of ours and thank you Newgrounds for the front page and daily feature. It was certainly unexpected from both of us, and I'm glad if this brought a smile to your face :D

I don't think that you should have to explain yourself for this flash. I thought it was funny, though i didn't agree with everything said in it. But that's not the point. The point is freedom of expression. If close-minded people cannot handle the humor, they need to get out of the boat.
You know this, I know this, but why some people don't get it is beyond me.
Oh, and I love your voice work. :)

Haha that Flash owned. Mainly because so much of it is true. Sonic is my main character, but he is definitely cheap.

Nice work. You shouldn't need to explain yourself for something as sweet as that Flash was.

KingKilo 2008-05-09 09:13:09

These two pretty much said what had to be said.
Its a nice piece of flash.

Funny script, and some nice animation.
Definitely if its done in three days.

Awesome voice acting, and keep up the great work.

Haha, thank you!

eliteman24 2008-05-09 18:30:55

yeah you do great with your roles

Catoblepas 2008-05-09 18:34:08

How do you guys feel about the fact that the short is already on youtube? It's even on the frontpage of gonintendo.com right now.

Rina-chan 2008-05-09 18:34:08

Holy crap, seriously?!

hawkrider1 2008-05-09 20:13:32

I really liked the voice work, and for something that was just randomly said, it turned out to be a great flash!

And I agree with the fact that kirby's "hi" taunt is annoying, especially when people camp to do it...

ACroyale 2008-05-09 20:22:24

I liked it, especially the clothing jokes about Samus. Also when Peach strutted her stuff.

The bits about Sonic, Luigi, Wario, Lucas, and Snake were pretty funny. The Ike and Marth bit (when they were about to kiss, I think), on the other hand, offended my heterosexuality. :-/

In other words, I liked it, especially the perverted parts (with Samus and Peach). :P Above all, you are still one of my favourite voice actors. :)

Zombie-Pimp 2008-05-09 21:59:48

You don't think people like your humour? Looking at your score, I have to say I doubt many people are disliking it.

Personally, I thought the flash was great. Your voice acting is fantastic, and the artwork gets the point across well enough.

The Sonic joke was pretty confusing, yeah, but all in all I thought it was great. I loved the Yoshi joke in perticular.

But lets be honest here, Kirby's art and animation style for that flash IS incredibly similar to Egoraptor's work. Nobody's classifying his artwork as an Awesome Ripoff because of a "trend", its because anybody who's seen both flashes can realize how much the styles resemble one another. The way the eyes are drawn, the proportions, the style of animation, the not-smoothed paintbrush edges, etc. Think about it. If Kirby had never seen Egoraptor's work before, and was still asked to do this, do you think the drawings and animation would look anything like they do?

PS: Brawl me. I'm really into the game and I can't find anybody who can give me any competition.

Gross.

Im confused... what does this have to do with Oyashiro-sama?

The-Red-Jack 2008-05-10 09:58:36

That did brought a smile to my face : )

Rina-chan 2008-05-10 09:58:36

I'm glad!

superwolf187 2008-05-10 12:22:06

I loved it...it did more than just put a smile on my face..it made me laugh. The whole part with Marth getting too close to Ike really made me laugh, because my friend April once said, when we were playing Brawl, that Marth was so girlie looking that he should be a character in a yoia ((is that how you spell it?)) based anime. And I thought I had heard your voice before ^^. You and Kirb should do a sequal or something. Keep up the great work!

Afro-Ninja 2008-05-10 14:24:07

Don't sweat it, I've learned that making ANYTHING about smash brothers will draw endless fanboy criticism. As long as most of it is positive, you did a good job.

Rina-chan 2008-05-10 14:24:07

Thank you so much! It's an honor to hear from you =)

TheUnknownEntity 2008-05-10 14:24:44

looks like we have a winner!

Cheers!

AlexGodoy 2008-05-10 14:56:29

Oh. Am I supposed to get the point that movie now? :P

I thought it was funny.

You just proved my point about the attention span of Newgrounds users.

omegafinal 2008-05-11 00:27:53

Ya know, I've been wondering why you weren't responding to any of the flash reviews. If you have something to say, don't hesitate to PM me what to write down for each of them. Even for the ones I already responded to, I can edit it.
