I really need to pay more attention to the portal. Anyway, I like the new looks for the menus, they look more aesthetically pleasing than the previous ones. Action scenes were good as always, especially with all the camera effects and what have you, and including gaming's most badass 12 year old pink-haired girl can only be a good thing.
*dies over the cliffhanger* That was an evil one. Evil i say! But that can be a good thing. Always good to see new episodes of this series.

It really annoys the hell out of me when people do this. Even at 14 years of age people should have learned this, yet I've come across people older than that who still use them the wrong way. For the flash itself, sound was muffled, but yeah, you knew that already anyway. So good work overall.

I doubt you remember me, it's been so long. Amusing flash. As a Birmingham man myself I fully approve of a Brummy Grim Reaper.

Hiya ShadowWarriorLuke! Yep, I remember you!
I'm glad you liked my brummie voiceover for Straight-Guy.
The fact that you could tell it was a brummie accent without me saying so is clearly a good sign!

And by we I mean I, as I cannot speak for the rest of the voters. The static fire in the dungeon still looks a bit awkward to me but the humour is still good as ever. Now Cryo needs to make a return to the internets before the script runs out is all. Looking forward to the next one... see you in a year? =P

I thought about animating the flames, but it didn't seem worth it as I'd actually have to play to that point in ZSNES to get them and then make an animated background (especially since there was only one episode in the dungeons left after this point). This dungeon is an odd thing as it's one of the few places in the game you can't go back to later on. However, You may have noticed I animated the fountain at the fair. In the future I will try to animate backgrounds when appropriate (just not this dungeon).
And honestly? I hope I can be less of a procrastinating whore this time around and get 14 and 15 out during THIS year.

I was all like "is that Stalin" and then the text came up and said it was Stalin. And then I lol'd.
I must request more Stalin in the sequel if there ever is a sequel, good sir.

Seriously. I don't hate sprite movies or VG movies. Just the ones that have the stupid crap that's parodied in this. HAY GAIZ MARIO JUMPD ON FLAGPOLE ADN HURT HIS NUTZ! NOW HE FARTS LOLOLOL!!!1
But still... why does nobody EVER rip on Final Fantasy flashes when they do these? Am I going to have to do one myself or something? :(

Started off a bit slow, but then again after the last part anything would be slow I suppose. Action is as good as ever, the bit in the car reminded me of the hoverbike sections in Battletoads. At a guess I'd say these two guys in what look like Organisation cloaks are the ones behind sending Shadow X and Magma Dragoon too.
Oh, I noticed one small error (or was it intentional?). When Ikumi is revealing everything to Lou and Serika Phantom's "..." speech box is still there.

OMG SPOILERZZZ!!
Just kidding, man. It was intentional with Phantom's text box. It was there to show that he listening to Ikumi and Lou's little argument intently and that he was rather annoyed by it.

I get tired of seeing "outtakes" with Mario falling over and farting and stuff getting awards and whatever too (even though I contribute to it by making Mario flash myself). I don't see why people are getting offended, but then again I don't submit stuff expecting or wanting awards or top 50 or anything.
I say Final Fantasy flashes are worse. They usually consist of some half-assed "Kefka returns from the dead to wreak havoc" storyline with bad animation even for a sprite flash. Or traced artwork with characters from VII, VIII and X with a bunch of weak attempts at jokes. Or even worse, a damn video with supposedly "funny" captions. At least some Mario flash get low scores or even blammed. If it's Final Fantasy they always pass with a score close to or above a 3. Make one bashing FF flashes next.

"I fail to see what I'm supposed to be laughing at"
So then, the first scene. A fart joke. With fireballs. The second scene, Arnie falls in the water, is fished out and then falls in again. Am I missing the joke here, or is that it? The third scene admittedly got a smile out of me when Arnie knocked the axe onto the bridge but that's it. I could see what would happen in the funeral a mile away.
This kind of humour's usually only funny to me when it's so over the top that it's ridiculous. That aside, I'll admit the sprite usage is good, but couldn't it have just gone to the menu instead of playing that intro bit before the menu pops up every time?

So Kuro did a voice for you then. Heh heh.
Anyway, this was a definite improvement over the original. The voices being redone was a good move. I'd add a scene select at the start and end though. Shouldn't be too hard seeing as there's already the next/previous scene buttons in place I think.
Here's to episode 3 being finished when it's finished.
