Inquiries!

[hyunsdojo]

This is Shuriken's last collab and his last project as an animator. Let's give him some love and appreciation for everything he's done!

[Shuriken]

This is it. I am free to go now. ;)
EDIT: Gonna dive into game-dev.

The imitator is probably one of the strongest stickman ever
Literally held his ground against multiple top ranked members in the dojo and survived in quite a decent amount of time

I love at how this one frame, it references Jomm’s part where the imitator was making sushi instead of fighting him. The cart is right behind the trinity. It’s just that the scarf is covering it.

Just for a sec, can we talk about how the imitator put up one of the best last man standing in history

[LordTyph]

You know, something I like about this Collab that I've just realized is that the Imitator is actually winning against most of his matches at first. He's constantly either beating his opponents or forcing them to retreat. It's not until the last few matches that he starts getting knocked around. And even then, in the big team-up battle against him, he gets a strong start. However, the moment he slips up once, it all collapses.

[gxmxz]

Imitator is probably the strongest stickman if you think about it. He fought against some of the most powerful stickmen all at once while he was injured and still held his ground. Probably why Hyun ordered to kill him because he was too op

[MC-]

I love the fact that the movement sfx is synced with the Background Music

[ratnadewi]

Me when im drawing stick man at 3rd grade : normal

My imagination :

[mysteryman.]

Watching this in 0.25 speed to analyze the fight. Here's what I found.

Timestamp: 0:21
When the fight begins, he switches from gray to full black.

Timestamp: 0:26
MC actually had shot Dhurkien255 sword to get it stuck on the ceiling.

Timestamp: 0:47
Not really a "blink and you'll miss it moment" but this reminds me of block breaks from fighting games.

Timestamp: 0:48
When Kixx powered up, MC guarded from the blast.

Timestamp: 0:54
Either could've shot with their free hand, but Mc decides to rush instead of shooting.

Timestamp: 0:57
They actually switched places once. Didn't notice that the first or several dozen times.

Timestamp: 0:58
MC actually steps on the arrow first then jumping off of it instead of just jumping from the ground. Likewise, Nomar starts by standing on one then steps on the arrow to drop down.

Timestamp: 1:02
Really obvious but some might still miss it, Nomar uses his feet to shoot the arrow while doing a cartwheel backwards. I also find it funny how although they can manifest arrows out of nowhere, he still chooses to pick up one from the ground.

Timestamp: 1:10
The flame MC threw and Fox caught was a bomb.

Timestamp: 1:14
When the tornado breaks, Mc's flame pushes Fox back and vice versa.

Timestamp: 1:15
Fox taunts MC by pointing at him before rushing him.

Timestamp: 1:32
CoreAdro was actually the one who got hit by the MC when he was landing with a frontflip. Always thought it was the MC who got hit there.

Timestamp: 1:33
When hit with the charge attack, CoreAdro completely disappear. And MC's stick turned to ash.

Timestamp: 1:48
In one frame only, Ehm was already on the right while MC was still on the left.

Timestamp: 1:56
MC's sword only changed when the impact happened.

Timestamp: 1:58
When MC shot, Jomm actually pulled out his gun to shoot the bullet mid-air instead of blocking it with a grenade like I initially thought.

Timestamp: 2:00
Jomm jumped at MC in a position as if he was already kicked.

Timestamp: 2:01
He recalls his sword after it's been blown up which makes me curious whether there are rules or if they can just summon a new one whenever they want.

Timestamp: 2:02
Some probably didn't notice because they were looking at Jomm but MC puts his hand up to shield the blast.

Timestamp: 2:04
Back to the rules of the weapons, Jomm's just disappear outright.

Timestamp: 2:05
MC got stronger with the power cus instead of clapping like in 1:59, he just has to point and time slows down.
I was also wondering why Jomm was slowed down here while before he wasn't but after looking at it again, when MC clapped and slowed time down at 1:59, Jomm's eyes were leaving a red stroke like the flash indicating that he also stopped time for himself while at 2:05 he was caught off guard and didn't use it on himself leaving him in slow-motion.

Timestamp: 2:08
I always though Rafah's blob hit MC's head to the floor but it actually wrapped around like a helmet and pulled his head instead.

Timestamp: 2:10
After losing focus, Rafah's blob turns to liquid and stays on the floor instead of disappearing. It's harder to see than MC's at 2:12 cus of it's colour.

Timestamp: 2:13
Rafah's blob seems to have more power the more exaggerated their movement is as he just points and the blob does all the movement but he pulls his arms back when calling it back. Or it could be a choreograph choice cus it looks epic.

Timestamp: 2:15
The blob seems to be tied to their body aswell cus when MC's blob was destroyed, he stumbles a little, leaving him open to an attack.

Timestamp: 2:22
Although it looks like MC and Oxob are equal in power during their clash, theres actually a rainbow arc generated behind MC by Oxob's punch.

Timestamp: 2:25
I love the fact that when MC was doing rapid punches and Oxob starts to block, MC broke the guard by pulling his head towards him then punching him.

Timestamp: 2:27
I don't know exactly how or why the shield disappeared but my favorite theory is that instead of breaking it, Oxob removed it by pushing with his own lightning upwards.

Timestamp: 2:30
Instead of pulling the head like MC in 2:25, Oxob punched his gut once to break the guard then again with a charged attack.

Timestamp: 2:35
The sword suddenly becomes one line, which I dont really mind, it probably saved Dracko some time.

Timestamp: 3:10
Fox actually has a sword that I never noticed.

Timestamp: 3:11
I could be wrong but it looks like Kix didn't shoot and instead deflected the bullets with the guns.

Timestamp: 3:17
MC's blob came from offscreen instead of just appearing making me question the weapon rules again lel.

Timestamp: 3:20
While Hyun powers up his sword AND himself in 1:35, MC powers up only the sword's EDGE.

Timestamp: 3:22
Poor CoreAdro, didn't even have his staff equipped, then MC hit a homerun with him as the ball lol.

Timestamp: 3:28
Now we actually see MC's weapon disappear and the blob appears from off screen again.

Timestamp: 3:30
Rafah's blob is a puddle again.

Timestamp: 3:31
Kix is being shot in the butt.

Timestamp: 3:34
Nomar's Bow disappeared into a blast of energy, and so did MC's hat :(

Timestamp: 3:35
Jomm didn't have to do anything to active his ability but neither did MC anymore as he isn't slow down.

Timestamp: 3:39
Fox didn't even hit MC lol, he just pounced of MC to push him down.

Timestamp: 3:40
Although it's supposed to be a turning hit, there's no fram in between so it looked like MC got punched in the balls, RIP.

The reason I did this was when I noticed MC clapped to active Jomm's power. and I also really wanted to see what moves they were using.
After being amazed, I want everyone to notice these small details all the animators put in.

Edit: I just saw the credits for the first time ehe, I apologize for not using the character's actual names.

[aidansanimationcorner]

Love Hyun's fighting style, keeping the enemy pressured, no room for a counter, very flashy!

[Blaedin]

Imitator: ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER
Them: but what if we do it together
Imitator: uh. . .

[AngellicRuby]

Man this is amazing
The fact that it took twelve to take him down shows his impact, respect.

[mtmq]

3:30 props to the imitator. he sacrificed his own victory just so that he could keep the action in sync with the music

I can't believe Jomm is still cooking sushi in the back

[deadman]

3:31
the exact instant the Imitator began to lose. Had it not decided to shoot repeatedly at Jomm (I believe?) it may have actually won. But because it paused to shoot repeatedly, Oxob was able to get a solid blow to the back, and that threw off it's combo, and allowed for the others to basically stun-lock it.

[Pivotcong]

The imitator’s last stand is insane, but the coordinations between the other 12 are incredible too, especially during that 12 vs 1 sequence. Continuous pressures, absolutely smooth transition, immediately punishing their opponent for spending too long on shooting, no one spending too much time hitting the imitator and a perfect setup for Dracko to finish him off. They’re legends too that makes the Imitator’s last stand more impressive

[jeffknowsall]

The imitator held his own in a 12 V 1. What an absolute legend.

[singingcrow]

Credit where's credit due. The imitator went down like a badass.
My favourite scene is when he just gives it his all, and proceeds to knock back all 12! Fighters in a last ditch effort. Especially since I like to believe the imitator's weakness is rapidly changing forms back to back, sorta like how if you fire a gun continuously, your aim will eventually worsen and you could even jam.
