Just a crazy anime and video games nut who likes a good flash. I've helped with voice work in the Chrono Trigger Unglued series as well as helped find songs, sprites, ect - but I'm not a flash animator myself yet (May or may not be in the future)

The comedy in this episode is top notch, and I felt that the use of voicing was well done. granted I voiced the Chancellor myself, but everyone did a great job with the lines. Counter to the review below me, I don't see the animation as shoddy for not voicing the whole episode, though I definitely agree that is a good place for improvement in the series overall.
I was particularly amazed with the time vortex scene, getting them to not reset position in moving up and down when they changed facial expressions is an amazing flash programming feat, my hats off to you for that one, in particular.

The key is to give the specific instances of your movie objects names, and do this for the movie objects inside of the movie objects as well. Then you just use commands such as _root.marle1.marle2.play(); (knowing that you specifically have the inner movie object laden with stops at various key points). Once that's done, you make the outter movie object contain the actual bobbing up and down of the floating motion.

I've been wondering what happened to this series for many years now, at least now I know, and thanks for your honesty. I do find it a damn shame though. Sure, it was a work based on outside properties but you gave it an original spin and put your own hard work into it with fantastic artwork that belongs only to you.
The real tragedy though, is that since then, I don't see much from you at all, which is a real damn pity. It's all to common that someone who works on a derivitave work decides they need to do something origina. The tragedy in this is that they rarely, if ever, go on to do such.
Whatever happens I want to thank you for parts one and two, because they were great enjoyment for me in my early Newgrounds life. I wish you the best of luck in all you do, and hope to see that original flash work you talked about.

Holy crap in a pogo stick! This episode was FANTASTIC! Plenty of action as always, but adding a brainy edge to the action really made it shine.
As always your handle on the various Mario and Sonic characters is masterful, and makes the series what it always is: awesome. I look forward to the next installment, and pray it came sooner, but this was worth the wait (even if all the time wasn't spent making it)!
I also just want you to know that your masterful work here inspired me on a personal level, as after seeing the series some time ago, it inspired me to begin my own Mario project. I'm not going to link it due to both rules and ethics, but I wanted you to know how much your work has affected me on a perosnal level.
Thank you for this series, and this episode! Newgrounds is so much richer for your amazing work, then it would be without it.

I wouldn't say this is your best work ever but it IS good work - and it's good to see you doing flash again.
You've definitely improved your variety though so for this you earn a highly respectable 8 out of ten.
I look forward to seeing more awesomeness from you.

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback! I don't make flash as much as I used to but now I'm now concentrating more on my music. Check out my latest audio submission entitled "Don't You Know I Have Enemies". A friend of mine who owns his own record label worked on the song with me.

DAMN man, that was very well animated, it was hilarious and quite action packed. Easily the best episode in the series. Crono the Moon Walker is hilarious.

Reactions to the moonwalking across various forums so far has been far more positive than I ever dared to hope for.

Damn dude, this is easily the best CTU yet peiced together. Between the extensive animation in the flashback sequence (Oh I SO cannot wait until we leave the dungeon to see more of that), the great wit (Gee I didnt see any signs), and the awesome bonus scene, this series has outdone itself, period.
Author's Response:
The credit for the dialogue in the flashback is very split. Cryo wrote it, but he only added it after I suggested the concept of the Flashback.

I've been watching this series for a while now but you truly seem to know many diffrent gaming fandoms very well and incorperated much into making this feel so right. Usually Sonic/Mario crossovers fall flat on their faces with failure but your grasp of both the characters, and fan perceptions therof - and using that in your script really paid off. You even managed to use "Texas Faggot" also known to the Megaman fandom as the Rockman Neo theme when fighting the Axem Rangers X. Which by themselves represent Mega Man Zero and battle network edits, that really flowed well. My hats off to you, as a DBZ fan, as a mario fan, as a sonic fan, and as a Mega Man fan (though really all you did to make me smile there was the song), I salute you and your amazing work from the bottom of my heart.

Its not a bad idea and the presentation isnt CRAP per say, but it really needs some polish and refinement. You;ve taken major leaps and bounds over the first one, having text boxes for dialoguue, and a menu was niuce. It really needs to move more fluidly, and you really need to work on your english. If you natively speak English...learn some grammar please. Its not a bad effort but theres room for improvement. Try getting more frames and more speed for the movements of the characters, and try to make them more edited so we don't see jagged edges. Try to make them a bit longer too. Lastly, opn episode 3, when the flash is over, please have the file auto loop back to your menu. All in all while I said many areas of improvement that would benefit your work, I did enjoy the story. Just work a little harder next time, you have a good spark in you.

Got to love how you took the song to literal interpretations just to add to the insanity, the insane looks on the narrator character was greatness too. You ROCK.
