[@trainerlsw]

I was questioning why it was Yellow specifically, but then I saw him pull out the Command Staff and everything made sense. The fact that he has such a unique weapon definitely makes him stand out, so I can see why he was chosen to be added. Also the stage being King Orange’s bastion, with himself also as the boss encounter is really cool and very fitting.

[@BlobFishSucksAtThings]

Honestly I could see all the sticks men working, each with a unique gimmick…but that would probably be a lot of hard work

[@MateoC812]

also it could have been alan’s computer as a map but thats just me i guess

[@MrSkerpentine]

Plus somebody else already made The Chosen One very early on Rivals Workshop’s history. It was even showcased on Animators vs Games!

[@TW-dh5rg]

@@MrSkerpentineit was in this too!

[@MRTCRonny]

I love how King Orange's own staff is actually the one Yellow created with the help of the VIllagers during the Titan Ravager episode, because the one himself created is in Yellow's hands. That's something so great, it's a detail that follows the lore of Alan Becker's AvM shorts

[@ZudinGodofWar]

The episode the staff is from is Raid

[@ijgames4529]

So how do I get King Orange? Is he in the workshop?

[@Gabesoup99999]

[@NoodlesBowlB312]

Yellow looks extremely overpowered

[@Artuniverse01]

@@ijgames4529 to get the boss fight with him Ive heard from the Animation vs Games video playing with this mod that you have to put the AI to 9 and set the costume (color) to Orange, then set the map to bastion (The one with the Main 5) it would start a king orange fight

[@PyrateQueen812]

The intro is probably my favorite part honestly. You did really well on the animation but I think you just perfectly got the whole...mood right with them; Playful, mischievous, curious and willing to play new games and things, to explore it. The beginning interaction of discovering the game mechanics, TSC straight up hitting Yellow, Yellow revenging w/ Command Staff for an instant 100%, and the both of them cheering despite TSC being wacked so high to pancake into the ground/taskbar...Seriously, you encapsulated the attitude of the Animation vs series, especially the vs Minecraft one with these silly little Stick Figures Thank you so much for a fun mod! You did great work!

[@Muho_is_me]

And also attacing each other verry casioly they seem to be invinsible

[@hesho24]

I refuse to believe that you can get more ambitious than literally letting the player change the code of their character mid match. It just isn’t possible

[@muno]

this one is definitely ambitious in a different way than the last character was 😅

What do you mean?

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

...gosh, this is so very clearly a labor of love. Every little detail is correct, even down to the sudden lines of code from the command block staff. I can easily envision more Alan Becker characters being built over time, especially TSC using the pencil tool.

[@peavuh]

imagine boss mode TSC and at low health he busts out the powers he used against dark lord

[@watchm]

Didn't king use the purple staff during his fights? I know he gave yellow the purple staff but that was after everything had happened.

[@GoldyLag]

​@@watchmI think this is a problem where everything from AVM season 3 already happened, since purple is in the photo and the stickmans use the portal and everything (king orange animations are beautiful)

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

@@peavuh Oh yeah, that too. though I think it'd be best to save a project like that for after AVA6 has concluded just so there's more material to pull from.

[@Kinglovinstone]

@@GoldyLag i'd just like to imagine he's really into fighting, but not outright killing anymore

[@FireyDeath4]

God damn, Alan needs to see this Also I don't know how the hell they make sprites so fast. I imagine if I tried to do this I'd finally be done after maybe 3-6 months

[@Fightcools]

I mean- they are stick figures, and the background is Minecraft blocks, but the attacks those would probably take more time to make

[@BVSSIC]

@@Fightcools You're forgetting one little thing, pixel art. Drawing stick figures traditionally is easier than doing it on a lower canvas size mixed with anti-aliasing. Sure it's still a lot easier than maybe some of the more detailed characters, but don't underestimate that it simply being pixel art already makes it harder haha

[@muno]

the fact that they're stickfigs definitely sped up the animation process compared to other rivals mods. however i negated that by giving him two movesets + an animated trailer, stage, and boss fight :P

[@FireyDeath4]

King Orange seems like a pretty beginner friendly boss. I've never played before, so it'll be a nice experience!

[@malcolmw121]

The setting suggests that this takes place after the final fight of that season, so King Orange is no longer an antagonist; not sure why he's attacking here but it's not for the sake of his original goal to destroy everything, which explains why his attacks are so telegraphed compared to Becker's fast-paced animation.

[@muno]

yeah i like to imagine that they're all just sparring for fun now :)

I didn't even realize that when TSC was uploading Yellow the creator is listed as "By ITSMEYELLOW" which is a fantastic reference, this is seriously insane dude

[@pointillism252]

I love everything about this trailer, from the Animation Vs. type opening, to the music choice, to every reference (that I was able to get), everything is just so damn smooth! I especially appreciate the smash bros type touches, such as characters in play not appearing soon the couch and orange being a Ridley-like stage boss! All of that isn't even including the potential of the command block mode, and it's so sick that you even included that to begin with, interactivity and all! The pacing and editing of this too was just all rock solid! I hope to play this mod in thee future, and that it gains the recognition it deserves

[@RgalGae]

here are references I want to mention about the showcase (NOTE - NOTHING I SAY IS AN OFFICIAL NAME FOR A MOVE (unless I coincidentally say a move that is official.) The creater is mentioned as “ITSMEYELLOW,” from AVA5. The music playing during the showcase is from AVM 31. Moves - Fishing rod, which is primarily used by green im pretty sure to latch onto players, items, and certain areas. Pig - I’m pretty sure that’s the pig from season 3. Arrow Dispenser - Used in the original AVA by blue, when fighting Herobrine, some of the zombies, and the skeletons. Trees and Bonemeal - Originally used by blue to attack herobrine. Slime block - Used by green as a mobility tool in AVM 31 Command block staff - Used by Yellow and King orange in a few shorts and season 3. Telekinesis with staff - Used by Orange and yellow, once again. King’s Bastion - The location of where Orange ruled for season 3. Arrow barrage - First used by King Orange, when fighting TSC Flying the staff like a broom - Yellow originally used that as transportation for ep 31 and a few shorts. King Orange Boss - The music is from AVM ep 25 The staff he is using was originally Yellow’s staff. Moves - Netherite sword - Used to fight the titan ravanger, and also used by herobrine. Lava tide - Briefly used during the fight against herobrine. that’s all the references I wanna disclose, finally I’m done

[@TempBlue-EB7559]

1more, Yellow jumps into ROA the way it happened during when orange and another stickman fought youtube itself.

[@Pikaboi_]

The amount of care and effort that is put into this is INSANE!! The animations are so smooth and full of references to the shorts! I cant wait to see Alen becker react to this and more from you!💛

Genuinely thought this was an offical animation by Alan at first. You guys knocked it out of the park!

[@timothyt.82]

The little details in the map, though. The King having a blue scepter because he gave the purple one to Yellow, each respective character being absent when in play, its so wonderful!

[@gravelis_6798]

Everything from the references to even the style of the outro tells how much love was put into this. Hope this blows up

[@poloswagger5526]

I like the characters you usually make but making one of the most iconic stick figures of the whole animation world and give him a lot of love to every move, skin, stage, etc it's fucking amazing. Congratulations Muno i already like your work before but now i will be sure to check on everything you make after this. PD: If you read this do you have in mind do Second Coming? It's because of the animation of the beginning im asking this.

[@muno]

i've tossed around the idea of making orange after yellow was done, if i do i might give him some anim vs math references since i really loved that video haha. glad you enjoyed!!
