(13+) Semi-Super Metallix VS Axem Rangers X | Kirb-Crew

[@KirbCrew]

9/22/24 Update: Wow, so not only has this video now become my THIRD most popular upload on my entire channel (reaching 114K views as of this pinned comment), but also, I hit almost three of my biggest milestones within this one year alone (I was a little more than 4K before uploading this video, and now I am super close to 7,000 subscribers)! I guess that hopefully makes me reaching my goal of 10K subscribers soon all the more easier! I cannon thank you all for the unbelievable support with this remake of mine, along with the countless comments saying how amazing it is, and I am still hoping that Mark Haynes himself sees this take I did on his iconic fight scene and takes some notes for when he ever gets to Episode 6 of the SMBZ reboot!

[@Drflash55Official]

Honestly, it deserves every bit of recognition it can get. This definitely feels like a modern-style SMBZ in terms of how the combat paces itself, as well as Metallix's brutality. I even had a thought in mind about an alternate scenario regarding the final scene with Red that really could've put a twist on it if Metallix decided to play dumb with Red in having the beam actually "damage" him. Through the aftermath of the fire, all he'd see is a silhouette of him laying on the ground, which would cause Red to get cocky and boast about how he shouldn't have pushed him that far... only to instantly get a fist right through the chest as Red looked down at the gaping hole that was just made in him (the perspective could even change to Red's momentarily as he's looking down to make it feel REALLY impactful). He'd look over slowly to Metallix who still has his arm impaled in him, giving him a death glare as he says those iconic lines. As he finishes, he'd ram it in even further to grip his hair right behind him as he uses enough force to tear straight down his entire body, only really leaving his head and a straight cut down from where his chestplate originally was. He'd still do the Raging Demon move on him as per usual, before then ending it off as he switches to the missile launcher on his arm, wrapping Red's hair around it so that he'd be taken along with the missile into the sky. Once he fires it, he'd warp back down to the ground, charging up that final beam to send him into oblivion. Regardless, your take on it was close to the original and I think it benefitted it too.

[@pj1343]

i'm quite surprised he hasn't seen this yet. it's definitely on par or at least close to what could be a reboot of brawl on a vanishing island.

[@CornaOnTheCob]

This is just more proof Mark Haynes should have a team of animators to help with the story. This felt like the reboot of SMBZ episode 6.

[@michelk.8008]

Exactly

[@fanaticmitchell4694]

Too bad his Chronic Depression, Crippling Anxiety and High Functioning Aspergers plus that one guy who almost hijacked his series won't ever change his mind about hiring a team to finish this series. He'll be long dead before we'll EVER see this series finished.

[@CornaOnTheCob]

@@fanaticmitchell4694 And that will be the unfortunate, heart-shattering end to the SMBZ legacy, if it hasn't already. I will say though; not hiring good, faithful people who would actually see and go through with his vision, because 1 bad guy tried to hijack the series is an extremely unhealthy mindset. That's like not hiring anybody for your business, because you had a bad employee one time. There's nothing wrong with the general idea of having a team to help you out. In fact, with how big SMBZ was planned, it's almost encouraged.

[@fanaticmitchell4694]

@@CornaOnTheCobYeah, good luck trying to convince him that. Another reason why he wants to do it alone is because he has constantly referred to himself as a perfectionist multiple times and that others cannot hope to see his vision. I think that's just him in denial about his OCD.

[@Chaos_Corbin]

The “I’ll crush you” line will always be iconic for both the SMB & Sonic communities. & that line originally coming from Cooler makes it even more awesome

[@Probablyabox]

that and "I'VE LET YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH"

[@christopherford39]

It was awesome enough to be made canon

[@GreatFox42]

I love that that line's usage in SMBZ is far more iconic than where that sound byte actually comes from. When people see/hear that line, most of them think of SSMS. I'm not even necessarily dissing the movie (I've never watched it so I don't have an opinion), I'm just noting how bizarre it is when you really think about it. Still love it, of course. It's Metallix's (using the new name to refer to the old one as well to ease confusion) most iconic scene, and possibly the most iconic scene of the entire show.

[@The-Almighty775]

This part has been re-animated multiple times by tons of people who are SMBZ fans. It's good that there are still people who remember the good old times,When there was nothing entertaining to watch on KZbin until we found this beautiful treasure that we consider and want to be an anime.

[@helio3928]

this one though, this one just hit different

[@GreatFox42]

SMBZ was and honestly still is something truly special. I always enjoy looking through the comments of the episodes and seeing how many notable people I recognize. So many people saw it, even non-fans of Mario, Sonic, and DBZ. It managed to stand on its own feet with gorgeous sprite battles _and_ a good story with excellent characterization that feels absolutely genuine to their respective source materials. It's the greatest love letter to all three franchises. Its influence was also large. I still remember when Tom Fulp had to update Newgrounds, the entire site, in order to allow Episode 6 to be uploaded because it was otherwise too large. That kind of hold is nothing to sneeze at. And how when an episode drops, it's an _event._ _everyone_ drops what they're doing to watch it ASAP.

[@supermariogamer5294]

The added brutality on the Axem Rangers' deaths is *sublime*, the shift from DBZ style to Mortal Kombat style adds to the fear, and the addition of Yoshi PTSD is a nice touch.

[@skullgamer64]

The way Metallix decapitated Green and shoved he's head into Black's chest is total savage, especially the way he ripped Pink's body in half in front of Red making him realize that he's no joke.

[@legendarycryptid2629]

Good lord, Metallix did _not_ come to play. The Axem Rangers's deaths were far more brutal than the original. Special mention has to go to Pink's. Whereas she's just blown to bits in the original, here Metallix just _tears her in half._ Forget goring Yellow, beheading Green and shoving his head into the hole in Black's chest before blowing them up with missiles, or Red dying pretty much the same way, _that_ stood out as the most brutal upgrade from the original. Well done!

[@Springdude11]

Well, Pink was cut in half first, then blown to bits, but, yeah, this death was FAR Slower, on top of happening after Green and Black kicked the bucket instead of before.

[@XX-sp3tt]

So... what were the dramatic stakes? They were both bad guys. Metallix is invincible. He could destroy all life on the planet already. He's basically an Isekai protagonist. When you play the invincible villain in Undertale, you at least get heroic last stands to enjoy. This is pointless slaughter.

[@macincko4616]

​@@XX-sp3ttMy brother in Christ, a big selling point of this ENTIRE SERIES is the over the top action in the fight scenes, but on top of that, the point of the scene, original or not, was to establish how powerful someone who knew how to tap into the power of multiple chaos emeralds at once could become, the axem rangers and the koopa bros were known as small-time knuckleheaded groups of villains that Mario could solo before, but now with just one chaos emerald? They can threaten Mario and his entire crew at once. It also obviously displays how brutal and efficient of a killing machine Metallix is, hes not some goofy mario villain like the axem rangers, other than dicking around with their chaos emerald causing massive destruction to Yoshis Island, they would never kill mario or anyone else that horribly, but Metallix has no such drawbacks. This isnt just "pointless slaughter" unless youre purposefully looking at it like that, think a little harder and youll see theres more to it. But even if you cant do that, its just a cool fight, enjoy it for what it is

Oh Metallix had Pink dead to rights at 5:00, but he did it slowly just to make sure Red saw it happen. What would have been better to show Metallix was a monster was pink screaming as he did to drive in the psychological horror that Red is going to perish and exemplify how powerless he was by watching Pink die like that and snapped the axe in two to even further make it clear that he doesn't need it to end him.

[@DaRkLoRdZoRc]

@ShadowWolf2023-yp5zg Technically, the Smithy Gang aren't robots. They're some kind of metallic lifeforms that can either feel emotions or simulate them so perfectly that there's really no fundamental difference: Bowyer takes pride in his work, Yaridovich is a brown-nosing narcissist, they can definitely get angry judging by how Axem Red and Smithy react to you beating their first forms, they can worry, crack jokes, feel pain, and according to Axem Yellow, they can even eat. So yeah, the Axem Rangers could definitely fear for their lives in a situation like this.

I love how, although the fight is slowed down massively, it is far more gruesome. The death of each Axem Ranger gives me time to watch them die a painful death, and that makes Metallix feel far menacing. Sure, in the original, he may have cleaved through each one like nothing, with Yellow’s specifically hitting the hardest, but in this, each death is significant and gruel

The music and noises all play together for an intense, breakneck, action-filled battle for their lives. and everything is dead silent to Metallix when he has enough and finishes it all. When he ripped pink in half the music stopped; everything halted. He was like a pre-school bully who just broke somebody's 'super epik action figure' at play time. Even breaks the action figure's super-epic-weapon...and then still, silence as he just walks to Red tired of his yapping. He's a bully, through and through.

I’ve watched this video many a time now and I love how it’s faithful to the original battle but also adds to it. Like how visceral and barbaric Mettalix gets when he takes apart each of the rangers. Just getting TOUCHED by Yellow’s axe just makes Metallix go berserk to where he makes Yellow die painfully as possible for daring to touch him. And each subsequent kill gets more and more gruesome until Red is cowardly trying to fire his laser before eating a Raging Demon into a Kamehameha. Glorious. Chef’s kiss.

Damn that was awesome. I could imagine when the actual episode six comes out he will say something like that when he sees Yoshi and the fact that shadow actually went by Luigi was actually heart touching.

The dedication of this animation from the SMBZ animation is stellar, and this animation goes so super hard i love all of it! Except one part and half on another part, on Axem Ranger Black and Green kills were good but kinda clunky, maybe if they showed fear on both of them (cause their robots) would make it more impactful cause of what they’re experiencing at the moment. And same goes with pink and red cause they see each other one last time but other then that, everything about all of it was soo amazing! I kinda wanna see more of how y’all animate your own stuff!

Imagine Super Saiyan Metal Sonic defeat the rest of them beyond just the Axem Rangers, whom have all just gotten axed.

The Koopa Bros were one shotted minutes ago. Metallix wasn't even transformed. The murderous robot is all about the smoke.

Genuinly thought this was a reboot scene, this is sooo good! You can also see how its made 1:1 with the original, with a much better animation. 10/10

- The new Metallix design and its sound effects - The use of 2D background to make it look is 3D - The improved text boxes - The callback to Episode 3 with Metallix remembering Yoshi's defeat - 9000 memes never get old (although I saw a TFS version in another video, I believe Alvin will do it when the time comes) - The smooth movements and close shots - Chief Yoshi design matching the rest of the Yoshi Tribe, more fitting to his character. - The visual jokes while still maintaining the seriousness of the situation. - Axem Pink looking nervous when not being able to locate Semi Super Metallix - The battle taking place between air and ground, more dynamic and for better use from those watching on the sidelines. - Beam Sword... perfection for a one time use. - Justifying even further Metallix anger towards Axem Yellow because he hit him, TWICE in this version. - The Axem Rangers questioning Red to fight a battle it was already lost from the very beginning. - The brutality of their deaths, also the order change being unique and still devastating, clever to make Red see how Pink already sliced to death, is pulled apart with his own strenght. - The lighting & shading effects, delightfull in every single detail. Yes, this could be part of the Reboot episode without any doubts. The only thing Alvin would add is hand drawn shots of it like he always did throughout the series, as well as new references here and there.
