It was really hard for me to get into this at first. There's no character voices, and the dialogue has spelling and grammatical errors abound. The fluid animation kept me going. But then I realized that you came up with an amazing plot idea. And I realize this is your first episode. If you were to continue this, your skills would surely improve, and you could add extra features. I would love to see you continue this series, not only to see what happens at this tournament, but also to see your progress as a flash artist. To be honest, I haven't been this excited about a flash series at it's inception since SMBZ.
Keep up the great work!
