I was still in high school back when Shodown blew me away. Then I heard you lost FFF on a work computer because you no longer work there, and then your site disappeared. I honestly thought you died, Splashkhat. So it was very surprising to see you back in action, on the aging flash platform and the aging newgrounds website, no less.
You were a huge inspiration to me, I borrowed your animation techniques heavily, I downloaded flash in middle school cause I watched FFF.
And now I'm a grown ass man, eugh, the nostalgia.

As for this movie, it's mostly the nostalgia talking. I liked the enhanced sprites, and the additional segments with cecil. The only thing missing is that - it didn't have the simplicity of the original version, and the characters felt less confined to the FF battle system than it did in the original works.
