Reviews for "The Ultimate Showdown"
altffour responds:
anything for your approval Robotichobo
The ultimate showdown must go down...
Okay, I will begin by saying that there isn't really anything wrong with this animation but compared to other submissions on this site like little foot or there she is or even rockman neo there is no way this submission should be # 1. I think that robs the truely creative flash artist out there that have spent far longer trying to turn out actual quality flash projects than this one. I mean as far as visuals mediocore at best. Yeah you had a lot of different pop culture icons and celebs thrown in there with a rather catchy song I will give it its dues in that aspect but still it isn't the best on this site so hopefully, this will drop back down to its rightful spot which should be around the top 30 in my book.
altffour responds:
Thanks for all the constructive criticism that will no doubt make my next flash better!
Oh, so I'm NOT supposed to be number one. I'll get on changing that.
You let the song do all the work.
I'd have to agree with the people who said you ruined the song.
I won't go so far as to say you RUINED it, but you did let the song down. You really shouldn't take someone else's hard work, and just slap some mediocre animation on it so you can get all the credit. I KNOW that this was a collaboration effort, and that the song was made JUST for this flash . . . but still, the animation doesn't live up to the song.
I don't mean the drawing. Your drawing style is really neat, and unique . . . but the animation just didn't cut it.
You always speak so lowly of eBaum for nabbing other people's work and just slapping his tag on it, but I think you've done something really similar here (even if it was a collaboration effort). I just don't approve so much of music videos on Newgrounds, for the same reasons you don't approve of eBaum; I think it's just animators getting lazy and trying to benefit from someone else's work.
You also say that eBaum deceives people into thinking that all the content in his site is so bitchin' while really he stole it all. You know what? Read these reviews! Everyone's like, "Oh, it's such an awesome song!", "The lyrics are so funny!". SONG, SONG, SONG, SONG, SONG. Basically, 70% of all the nimwits here think you wrote this song, and then the other 30% who know, well . . . just don't care. Even if all your intentions were good, you still took the biggest amount of credit. You're practically stealing almost ALL the credit from Lemon Demon, whether or not you think you are.
I'm sorry, but this just doesn't deserve first place . . . maybe SOMEWHERE in the Top 50 because it was an awesome collaboration effort, but not #1.
Basically put, I think you let the song do 70% of the work while you sat back and slapped together a 30% quality animation. Next time, at least make it 50 : 50.
Sorry if it was too harsh. Best of wishes.

"70% of all the nimwits here think you wrote this song,"
one of us did, I don't think there isn't really a problem here.
That's like saying "everyone is saying your script is so great but u didn't even make the script the coauthor did!!"
They are complimenting lemon demon's song, not me, and I'm in no way claiming I wrote the song. By saying what you're saying, you're saying that lemon demon isn't a coauthor, and you're just talking to me rather than him, when the reviews are meant to be to both of us. I am in no way the sole author of this flash, and that is quite clear on the page the flash is on. I have no problem with people telling me what they didn't like, but I do have a problem with a comparison to eBaum, and here's why:
eBaum does absolutely nothing, I worked hard on this.
eBaum takes all credit, I am trying to keep it even.
eBaum steals things, not only do I have permission to use the song, it was made with the intention of a collaborative animation.
.......
really was not funny...this does not deserve the #1 spot at all.
altffour responds:
sorry i'll get on moving my submission in the ranks
Eh...
It took me three times of watching this to really like it. I love the song, but otherwise, I'd rather see a bunch of super heroes than a bunch of famous people beat each other up...
WHERE WAS DR.DOOM!??!?!?!?
But... Gambi the Genie and Cowboy Curtis will do for now...
