FINDING the REFERENCES: Fleeing the Complex (Henry Stickmin Collection)

[@CrystalTheErudite]

That little back-and-forth motion Henry does when you choose the knee is a reference to Dash Dancing/Wave Dancing, an extremely prominent tech in all smash games, but it's most common/known in Super Smash Bros Melee. Which just so happens to be the game Captain Falcon got most of his popularity from (plus it's where "The Knee of Justice" truly became a thing).

[@williamwashburn7665]

Was gonna mention the few you missed but it seems like the comments have got it covered. Glad you picked up on the layers of the Lemmings thing. Apparently not many people know the game Lemmings.

[@2leftthumbs]

The comments of the other videos have typically been light debates of, "was X a reference, or just coincidental?" But this time around I missed a few big ones! I imagine that will be the case in CtM as well? Just while playing it casually, I could feel a lot of references going over my head haha. If anything this time around I made a few more leaps, and stretches than usual. ie. the Futurama/Bender/It was going well connection. I am almost 99% certain that is my own brain connecting things, and not actually intended

50:45 I know I’m late to the party, but it’s a reference to the movie “The Green Mile.” The Mikey part comes from the actor who played the character being referred to, Michael Clarke Duncan, and the lil part of the name is a joke since the character is actually really big. The bio further backs this up as the bio is also the characters story in the movie, a man falsely accused of a crime since he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Lil Mikey’s shoes are even green as another nod to it.

8:10 That’s actually a 720 noscope. He turns around twice. Edit: Apparently he also looks through the scope. I missed it because he stops after he fire, and it’s kind of hard to notice at full speed because he’s spinning. So, it’s not even a noscope. (Thanks Jack Harvey)

Its probably a quickscope. Quickscope means targeting the enemy, rapidly opening the scope and shooting right after the scope animation ends.

Reference for completing the mission: There is a character in the bios called "don miguel", this is a reference to an old game bundled in with pirated copies of rpgmaker 2000 based off of a real guy who imported it, the bio description expands on this by saying "his RPG character has a magic shop, or was it ship?"

17:40 Once you steal the boots, that's ANOTHER Barefoot Stick man. 24:20 I thought the "messed up stages" was a Kerbal reference, since everyone tells me that's all you do in the game. :p 27:20 In another video where they were playing that I saw a post where the guy claimed to speak German and said that what the guy is saying was real German, but grammatically nonsense, and nothing like the subtitles. I don't speak German so I don't know how true that is. 27:30 "How do I shot web?" with shot instead of shoot is an old Spiderman meme. 50:50 Wasn't Lil' Mikey the guy who would eat LIFE Cereal?

[@Sklace]

The german guy says "Warum ist die Welt so klein?" which means "Why is the world so small?". So the subtitles don't match the words.

The Kerbal Space Program reference is correct

[@Joseph-ru8de]

[@WolfDB]

The Shadozer actually has a second reference with the tagline "The unseen stick is the deadliest", a reference to Zedd from League of Legends. He's a ninja who has shadow powers, with one of his lines being "The unseen blade is the deadliest" Also, the sniper rifle that Charles is seen using when you choose the "Sniper" option is an AWP from Counter-Strike, and I believe in the original flash it even uses the same firing sound effect

[@TheMetalsonic23956]

Two Left Thumbs I was the one who said that The Spear that Isaac has is a reference to the Ma'Tok staff from the sci-fi show Stargate SG-1 used mainly by the Jaffa warriors. I did that because off the effect of it between the 2 series were basically the same of being used as a Long distance energy blast to kill enemies is such a niche concept I made the connection between the two.

[@badzombies2003]

The Rocket is a slight reference to Kerbal Space Program, specifically how people commonly mix up the staging process.

At 11:32, the "side to side" spin is a reference to pivoting in smash bros. It works in both melee and ultimate. It's very common for professional players to use this move.

[@connorlego5229]

11:30 that wave dashing or dash dancing from smash bro’s, some can do that for intimidation, I think

[@velvetbutterfly]

Wave dashing is when you throw yourself into the ground to fly forward quickly. He did a Dash Dance and jumped

[@leumas698]

It's definitely dash dancing (A player constantly reversing direction while moving over a tiny area) as opposed to wave dashing. (A player dodging into the floor at an angle to give themselves a momentum boost) Generally wave dashing is used as an actual combat strategy to catch up with a flying opponent and continue a combo, whereas dash dancing is used either to prepare to jump out of the way of an attack or as a way of taunting your opponent.

[@ninoxii]

The side-to-side move before the knee is called a dash dance. It's a move performed in smash melee.

[@dragonslayer2924]

Not just Melee, professionals in Ultimate use it quite oftenly.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

A few more: Electricity + bomb = crazy explosion, could be referencing charged creepers In the flash vers. A the ultimate chrimrareia sound effect from Mother 3 plays at Under cover Agent. Halberd is the same name as Meta knight's airship (it's probly not I just wish their were more kirby references) The among us joke is further played bye him having a among us knife, and being apart of a "crew" Dan the man is Also taken by a mobile game. It's a pretty fun game!

[@roboplayer5133]

I Agree with the First Reference, because in minecraft Creepers explode, but if they get hit by Lightning(Plasma) they get Charged and do a Bigger Explosion, and I'm disappointed he didn't mention it in the video.
