Absurd
Absurdly good, that is!
Every time a new episode comes out, we think we've seen the limits of what a sprite movie can amount to in flash. Alvin just keeps pushing the barrier. I'm pretty harsh with my ratings (I don't hesitate to give 0), but I once again find myself forced to give the full 10/10.
Aside from some small qualms with sound (some screams seemed off), this move was almost perfect. I have to admit, it was actually gripping, wondering what would happen as the fight progressed.
When Power Star 3 came out, I rated it as having better fights than anything in Mario Bros Z, but Alvin has reclaimed his title as the king of sprite-base flash, and probably all of flash. Of course, another element that sets this apart is the engaging story, and this episode did a nice thing of tying up plot elements from recent episodes.
Excellent work.
