Thats what I call a redo. Your first animation i still remember it and this is a mayor improvement. You have improve a lot, son. You make your old man proud hehe

Why can't people be like you Tim =(?! And take their time to make great animations like this!

Heh... This is perfect. You put just the right amount of fraimes in the flash animation. Plus the background sound is very nice, and just to add on top of that, the sound effects are great. They're christal clear as well.

Overall: SUPERB!

Superb, Smooth, original idea and greatly executed. I would have prefered the shadows more in the ground if you know what I mean, but other that, it's excellent!

That was fucking great. The speed and animation was very smooth and the idea is awesome. Great job, man.

AMAZING simply AMAZING, wow dude that must have taken you like 281 frames! You get a 6/5 as your rating.

Holy shit that was cool... 5/5

That is really good. I rember watching this animation the first time u made it and i thought it looked impossible to do. Like always there is nothing wrong with ur animation. There is just one thing that u always do, it seems like those little drops of blood drop so slow. But still very good job 5/5

Well thanks, Jordanman for replying back to the pm. Maybe I'll ask some1 else that has Micromedia Fireworks .

Thanks everybody, glad you all liked it .
Now I know it was worth all the effort.

And while I'm here, I'll just point this out....
The key word that you mentioned here, is "pm" .

Excellent work, as usual Tim.

I don't mean to nitpick, but in the corner of the screen, the '1' in the '01 wins' looks thinner, as if there was too much shadow.

Apart from that, absolutely perfect. =-o

Damn nice Timsmk 5/5

I think the blood is dropping too slow from the blade and the beginning where Baraka stands by Reptile before the screen goes dark is too long. But other than that, this was sweet. 9/10.

Tim, Tim, that was a major improvement from the first one. this great one is just adding to the other great ones. thanks for all the great fake animations that bring a whole other perspective of fake pics. thanks for all time.

Yeah, I'm not completely sure on why that happened, but either way, I guess it isn't too much of a problem .

Thanks again for all the replies .
Just wondering what to do next....considering I have a long list of requests .

Well this is another masterpiece Tim. Great stuff. It looks nice and crisp and the sound fx, voice overs, and music are great as well. I really liked how the blood dripping sounds were well timed and that the blood stayed on the ground. When the top half of Reptile's body was spinning in Baraka's blade, it sort of made me think about having fire there so it would look like Baraka was roasting Reptile! (Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't have wanted that roasting stuff in the animation. It was just a thought!)

Anyway, I really enjoyed it. It gets a 10/10 from me.

as i talked to you about earlier Tim, its deffanatly one of your flawless victories. I await more of your work. 11/10

i like it, i hate baraka, but this is a great animation, sound is great, its not choppy one bit, so i like it, only in animation wise, not in character wise, thought reptile wasnt a pimp back then, so i rate this, 9 stars out of ten

I just wish Flash Crash can have a rematch against you, then things will get interesting again

Exxxcellent!!!

Well, there's a million positive things I could say about this animation (too many to list) so instead I will focus on the negative. But this is constructive somehow, so don't worry ;)

(And I'm REALLY nitpicking here, so if you take any of this advice in future animations, chances are it will be 100% accurate to the game.)

- When Reptile is in his "dizzy" pose, the normal background music is playing. This isn't right, and if you are getting the music from the MK1/MK2 official CD, there is a part near the end of each track that will play the correct "dizzy music" (each stage has different "dizzy music" that resembles the normal stage music).

- Some of the albatrosses are flying a little too low.

- The shadows seem a little too high.

- One shadow may be slightly darker than the other; at any rate, the part where the shadows of Baraka's blade and Reptile's body overlap each other just doesn't look right.

- The shadow of Reptile's upper body unnaturally jumps up by a pixel or two, just as it finishes sliding down Baraka's blade.

- There are win symbols (in this case, two dragon symbols) that should show up briefly after "Baraka Wins" is displayed but before "Fatality" is displayed.

Overall, this is a great animation, and as your animations keep getting better and better I'm really looking at the details. Keep up the awesome work!

Yes, you're dead right, but unfortunately I can't get the finish him music for the stages. So instead I used the part of the music that seems to sound the closest to it. Oh well

- Some of the albatrosses are flying a little too low.

Haha, yeah, I just placed them in places so that you could see the're flying behind stuff, not just pasted on. For show more than anything .

- The shadows seem a little too high.

This I'm not too sure about. You mean to "stretched" or too high in position on the canvas? Either way, I just kinda made sure they were about half the size and stuck them in there, heh.

- One shadow may be slightly darker than the other; at any rate, the part where the shadows of Baraka's blade and Reptile's body overlap each other just doesn't look right.

Indeed one is, and I have no idea why . I tried to fix it, but to no avail .

- The shadow of Reptile's upper body unnaturally jumps up by a pixel or two, just as it finishes sliding down Baraka's blade.

Hehe, yeah, I had no more time to fix this.

- There are win symbols (in this case, two dragon symbols) that should show up briefly after "Baraka Wins" is displayed but before "Fatality" is displayed.

Yeah, I haven't ever bothered with them, but from now on I will. Never gave them too much thought .

Thanks for going so deep, lol. It's much better to nitpick those tiny, tiny things, because eventually I will get them right. Much better than saying silly things like "the time before the screen goes dark is too long." I mean, huh? (Sorry to whoever said that, heh, but I did time it ). I look forward to more of my work too, lol

Yeah, so how do you make those anyway?

I have done many tests in the past and can officially say that the character shadows in MK are 1/3 the height of the character sprites.

Great animation. With each one you get better and better. I may have missed a few of the ones inbetween the last one I saw of yours and this one but I am glad you are now totally Arcade quality and not using SNES sprites and music :D

Don't forget that MAME has cheats. I am sure there is one that allows you have infintie time to do a fatality. You could record the music during the dizzy.

One more thing. You could record a full victory for Baraka from MAME. That way you would have all the correct backing music, the drones that play behind the speech. You would need a PC of over 1.7Gh to do that though if you were running MAME and a wav recorder at the same time.

Heh, true points.
Unfortunately I only have a 1ghz machine (pathetic I know) but the infinite fatality time cheat just could work.
Thanks .

To Gl1ch:
How do I do them?
Heh, with great patience, lol. They just take more and more time each one I do. I hope it's because I'm getting better, lol, or something's just seriously wrong.

I use Macromedia Flash 5.
Get all the sprites, whop em in with a large collection of sounds and voila .
