Got another update for you guys. Here’s an early look at Ippo vs Little Mac. The fight is about halfway-ish right now and there’s still a lot more to go, but with your support I’ll be able to get this finished up.
The more support I receive here on Patreon, the more I can focus on creating fight style animations like this. Since my primary content on YouTube is comedy based, I still have to keep up with those uploads for the sake of ad revenue. But if Patreon can help support these ventures, it would allow me to dedicate more time toward combat animation of matchups of your choosing.
As some of you know, I previously worked as a 3D animator on Death Battle, and while I dont plan to return, that doesn't mean im never working on combat animation again. A lot of what I brought to the company was Assets, Staging, Lighting, Voice over, VFX and Animation. I can still take my skills and apply it to something else. Which is where this next idea comes in.
I’m focused on launching a brand new VS series on my channel, outside of Cell VS, called Final Round. The idea is to create standard VS-style matchups similar in spirit to Death Battle, but fully animated in 3D and made purely for entertainment. No power scaling culture, no calc debates. Just fun fights.
When Nintendo or Sega make a cinematic cutscene for one of their games, is the first thing on their mind, “How will this hold up with the powerscalers?” No, its not.
If they want Sonic to bounce off missiles mid-air, run across collapsing debris, or tear through a robot the size of a planet because it looks cool, they just do it, you guys consume it and use it as feats.
I’m taking a similar approach here. The goal is to create fights that prioritize fun first, with loose inspiration from feats in the source material. It’s not meant to be official or canon. It’s a fan animation, and the focus is on making something entertaining to watch for a couple of minutes.
Does this mean im going to make Sonic use a Rasengan or Kamehameha? No. Lore and feats will still be respected, but debate culture wont be the core of the content nor will it be supported.
This means power scaling gets thrown out the window so we can just enjoy the fight instead of arguing about feats and math calculations and sun disks (Haha)
Mario Vs Sonic, Zuko vs Todoroki, Wesker Vs Neo, Power Rangers vs Kamen Rider? JJK Matchups? Star wars matchups? all matchups that I plan on working on eventually if I am able to get the support!
This would essentially be my way of bringing my style of combat animation to the channel with full creative control. In the past, I was often animating fights based on scripts I didn’t write, boards I didn’t create, and outcomes I had no real say in.
With something like Final Round, I’d be able to handle the choreography, pacing, and direction myself from the ground up and focus on making the fights as fun as possible without being boxed in by decisions made earlier in the pipeline.
Id also would have the same additional freedoms of bringing on other Animators (Some of them you know or may have heard of, some are new!)
Let me know what you think, and as always, thank you for the continued support!
