Great
I loved it, the animations and sounds were amazing. I absolutely love the bit with the PSP. The Metal Gear Solid dream scene had me laughing so hard, I had to restart the movie and go to the scene selection because I wasn't really paying attention after that. Just laughing. The movie is wonderful, I congradulate you.
I am very appreciative of your flash.
I really enjoyed the humor, animation, and style of your flash. I hope you continue to create more Declines in the future and bring new and innovative jokes to the series.
I also would like to point out to previous reviewers that Dim did say and I quote "We know the PSP is not perfect" (Read the Editor's notes in the flash). Also, if someone was parodying a video game, the best jokes come from the people who really enjoy the games. The Super Flash Bros. do just that, they enjoy the games they play so much, that they have a much better chance of making accurate jokes about the games. If they knew nothing about the games they played, their jokes and parodies would be irrelevent to the specific game, and thus, not humorous. If you have played a video game before that you really enjoyed, you would realize it would be much easier to make a joke about it than a game you just read about in magazines or on websites. I myself have had a lot of fun making random jokes while playing certain games, and I imagine so do the Super Flash Bros and the rest of their crew.
Thankyou! thats why we make fun of the best games. No-pne wants to hear why "Mickey's Speedway Racer" is crap.
I'm glad you understood the point of the cartoon :)

Putting the Industry Bashing Aside...
...this is not a bad work at all. I have to say, I am kind of surprised that it is number one, but the people have spoken, I suppose.
Much of the criticism against the "Big 3" developers being targetted seems rather perplexing. The individual scenarios, when blown out of proportion as in this flash, are humorous enough, but there is certainly enough crap out in the market today that warrants your attention...as opposed to titles that have proven to be momumentally successful. Saying that Konami, Square, etc etc produce nothing but garbage is more than just a bit off the mark. Perhaps there is some insider humor behind your choices for parody, but I cannot see it.
Still, the monumental amount of work that must have gone into this flash is very apparent. From a technical standpoint, you have crafted a masterwork. I will not say that it is necessarily a "Final Fantasy A+," "There She Is!" or "Prowlies at the River," but you surpass many of the oft-hailed "great masters" such as Legendary Frog and NALO. (With whom I understand you have collaborated a number of times, yes.)
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. While I very much contest your high opinion of the PSP, I certainly salute your skill.
Thanks for the review!
first of all we NEVER said "Konami, Square, etc etc produce nothing but garbage"
In fact, by including them as the big 3 developers - we are showing our appreciation of their contributions to the gaming industry. The better the developer, the more likely it is we're going to make fun of them.
Take the DMC parody - DMC is one of my favourite games. As is MGS3, and FF and everything we feature!
