Now getting to that point hearing the muffled gun shots and it's all coming back

[@nightxday]

A few things showcasing the capabilities of the AAHW, especially ATP Soldats. 0:54 Soldat flips up to dodge, punches Hank. 1:27 Rare moment where an Engineer’s mask stops a bullet. 1:50 Soldat dodges blade twice; tries to get a hit but is blocked. 2:08 Soldat flips to dodge again; hovers mid-air while swinging blade, like Hank. So he’s not the only one who abuses physics. Tried to punch; blocked. 3:12 Soldat had a clean shot - but Hank deflected the rounds. 4:28 Soldat disarms Hank. AAHW needs to teach their agents to predict where Hank will dodge his way to. A lot of people had a clear shot on him but he always jumps and dashes everywhere, even jumping when he didn’t see the Engineer pointing a gun at his back - right before he shoots. AAHW is not incompetent. Their enemies are just more experienced.

[@reidj2226]

I also noticed slight difference in how each of Hanks deal with agents. Antipathy is generally more violent but he's shown to be struggling against Soldats specifically as while MC7 Hank less brutal but more careful, taking out soldats without even getting hit.

[@joshuakim5240]

@@reidj2226 It's a really neat detail as Antipathy Hank fights the Soldats aggression with his own aggression, which is in the Soldat's element so they're actually effective against him while MC7 Hank fights in ways that abuse the Soldat's low intelligence and short-fused temper that let's him dispatch them much more efficiently despite being less aggressive.

[@mileator]

It's taken me some time to recognize some of the nuances here. Krinkles has really learned two things. Threat, and Target prioritization. Which is fucking awesome. I watched his streams... I think it was last year... and during his Madness Day stream, there was a video, that had the engineers face masks actually be bullet proof. Krinkles liked the idea so much, he's began implementing it. Which is fucking amazing. What I find even more amazing though is that, that has bred, diversified enemies and Target prioritization. Soldats are now the only ones who can keep up with Hank. They're aggressive, they dodge his attacks, they flip, they engage in melee combat. There're a force to be reckoned with. Engineers are starting to show a lot more intelligence and battle sense. Which also plays well into their, now Bulletproof masks. They're allowed to analyze the battlefield with less risk of getting shot in the face for it. It provides them with time to think. That's pretty goddamn cool. This new direction to choreography has allowed the A.T.P.'s to express themselves. And that expression has also evolved Hank into someone who can prioritize his targets. Now he has to choose which one to fight, because when a soldat enters a room he understands that the soldat is the priority. They're the ones that pose the highest threat. This all in all this is a fantastic evolution. It's actually making the appreciate the soldats a little more. I always thought they were lame because they were just agents with an eyepiece. They weren't unique like engineers. Well... now, that's changed. Keep it up, Krinkles. This new direction of your fight choreography is the tits. ALSO: another thing i've noticed. It's Hank! He's still Hank. After all this time there's still a personality behind him. I spent a long time watching other people's animations and returning to a crinkles animation really just shows how strongly choreographed Hank's personality is. He still has a sick sense of humor. And I love that. The kind of person to kill dudes for style points. The guy who would chuck a phone mid conversation. Taunt a soldat for his eye piece. Shoot a clown in the face to make a nose in his faceplate. Kill 10 men for a hot drink that he stole, but was later stolen back from him. Hank looks up meat tenderizing techniques while torturing a person with a spatula, because he likes to sound it makes.

[@BananaTrooper3650]

"Hank looks up meat tenderizing techniques while torturing a person with a spatula, because he likes the sound it makes". Where and when did that happen? Also nice analysis.

[@mileator]

@@BananaTrooper3650 it's never actually happened. The point I was making is that, it's in Hank's personality to do that very specific thing. It's twisted. It's dark. It's funny. And to add even more flavor, Hank would probably be wearing either a apron or a chef hat as well. It's his sick sense of humor. Something that did happen is how happy and excited he was to kill after finding a giant blender.

Instead of just shoving Hank right back into his body, it creates a copy of his “soul” every time and the previous version gets left in Hell. We saw MC2 Hank in the Dedmos adventures, it’s possible that it wasn’t a hallucination or trick, but actually part of Hell seeping into Deimos’ purgatory on accident.

[@gguy17]

@@nou7009 I have this theory too which is further reinforced by the fact that the giant binary sword appears in the background during this scene, symbolizing how Hank met his end in MC3. Plus the scared behavior of the character is very much Sheriff like, I'm sure that MC2 Hank would have at least tried to fight back. Yes, the Sheriff has been revived for MPN, but just like Hank, he might have left his previous S3lf in this Other place and got new, more confident one as we have seen in the game.

[@gutstheberserkerr]

What I gathered from this is that every time Hank dies, a clone of him is sent to this other dimension (I think it’s called The Other Place) which explains why antipathy Hank and consternation Hank are both here - since each of them died. I also think that antipathy Hank was chosen since Doc needed the aggressiveness of him to make Hank a half-mag. “FINDING A HANK” on doc’s monitor supports this idea and that multiple clones of his dead self are present in The Other Place. Your talent is impeccable, Krinkels.

[@elizabethstein9698]

Agreed. I have a feeling a colony of dead Hanks exists somewhere in Purgatory. The "Antipathy" Hank goes rogue and ditches rest of the colony, as he, unlike the others, not content with living in Purgatory, and wants to be revived, hence why he fights our Hank. Unfortunately for him, he looses to our Hank.

[@jacore2618]

if that's so. I think we have 3 Trickys at this time period. if I have to guess which is what tricky here is what I think: the tricky we find in 9.5 part 1 is Redeemer Tricky. he seemed to be more focused on trying to figure out what's going on then actually attacking hank. The Tricky here has to be a different one as he generated out a different person. my guess for this one is that he is Avenger Tricky. I don't think its the tricky from Antipathy because he didn't really die but instead took a new form. and the huge skeleton thing is most likely Consternation Tricky. as the skeleton is similar to Ex-Hell Clown.

[@GilliamYaeger]

With everything that has happened so far, here is my prediction for MC12: The Auditor once again gains control over most of Nevada, and ends up being more and more powerful than ever Meanwhile, 2BDamned ends up getting Deimos out of his Purgatory, and goes to the scene where MC11 ends There they see MAG. Hank and Sanford's battered body. They both try to carry them into a magnification or revival chamber, but find many enemies along the way. After some kills, a soldat or engineer warns the Auditor that 2BDamned and Deimos have been spotted. The Auditor immediately finds them. Having no experience in fighting the Auditor, 2BDamned and Deimos are intimidated. After a battle with the auditor (similar to the one in the beginning of MC10), The Auditor actually sucks in the protagonists for once. We are then sent to MC7 Hank, remaining in Hell. This time though, he looks entirely different. His body is nearly at the stage of death, yet he is still going. Consternation hank slices his way past soldats, engineers, and grunts. This time, in absolute rage. After a while, we see a retainer. The retainer has pink flesh, just like some of the grunts and agents in MC9.5.2. They fight a very long battle, and hank ends up winning. Hank seems to be looking for something, but we don't know what. As hank moves into the distance, the scene changes to 2BDamned and Deimos. Deimos and 2BDamned are falling down in a black, cloudy void. After a moment, land begins to appear. Deimos and 2BDamned fall down very heavily. The ground looks very dark and rocky, with a lot of floating islands. Deimos and 2BDamned are confused, but have to fight enemy grunts , agents, engineers, and soldats. After a few deaths, the enemies try to communicate to the protagonists that they don't want to fight, they only want to escape. Deimos is very skeptical at first, but 2BDamned convinces him to listen, signaling that they can't just escape by killing. The protagonist and a few agents end up finding a MAG Agent V4's battered body. Deimos and 2BDamned immediately start to mess around with the mechanical parts of it. Later, they accidentally create something that produces lightning. When the fight lightning stroke, the ground was shaking like an earthquake. Upon the second strike, it was even worse. The scene zooms out, and we see the auditor. He seems to be affected by the lightning that is happening inside, but quickly brushes it off. Going back to Hank, we see him standing inside a building, many dead bodies, and a circular portal. Hank slowly goes through the portal, and is now in Nevada. Hank, not knowing what has happened for the past few episodes, looks around in confusion. Everything is different than before. But now's not the time to think. It's normal for Nevada to become more and more insane. Hank goes around, fighting everyone he sees. He has no regret, no remorse, no reason. Actually, this time, he has 1 reason. To lash out all his anger, all his hatred for this world. Eventually, the Auditor finds out that Consternation hank is back. This time, he brings minigun and a huge axe. Hank notices 2 red, glowing eyes in the distance. It's the auditor. The Auditor begins to shoot his minigun, but hank hides behind a building wall. After a while, the Auditor comes toward Hank with his Axe and tries to dice him. Hank dodges. He tries to shoot the auditor, only to find out that bullets don't work on the Auditor. So Hank throws his guns down in frustration, and takes a sword from the ground. Hank lands a few blows, but it does not affect the Auditor. Suddenly, the Auditor almost falls to the ground. We hear lightning, from inside the Auditor. After noticing that the Auditor is weak, Hank slices the Auditor. This time, it actually damages him. After having enough, the Auditor tries to suck Hank in. Unfortunately, he gets the same "lightning" feeling from inside again, so his suck-in ability is halted. Hank then again tries to slice the auditor, but the Auditor punches hank away. We see that the Auditor is extremely weakened. After 1 last inner lightning strike, the Auditor's "body" has finally had enough. The Auditor explodes, and every single Agent, Grunt, Engineer, Soldat, etc that the Auditor has sucked in is finally out of his body. 2BDamned and Deimos (along with MAG Hank and Sanford's body) are amongst one of them. We see 2BDamned and Deimos wake up, and they see a familiar red glow.

Tricky really is one of my favourite fictional characters ever. I don't know how Krinkels managed it, but just the way Tricky's unhinged and uncontrollable nature come through so strongly simply through the animation alone and no dialogue is impressive. I also think the design with the red clown tufts and the Madness + sign for a face work really well. I think Tricky manages to pull off the + sign face the best, as pretty much every other Main Character in Madness Combat has additions that make it to where they no longer have the + as a main feature on their face. I think it makes Tricky more iconic in a way. Tricky is so cool, dude. I like how his powers are less refined but more speedy and have a lot of kinetic energy behind him. When Tricky is on screen, I'm always like >.> for whoever is unfortunate enough to be in his way. Whether its Hank, Deimos, Sanford, Jeebus, The Auditor or whoever. Personally my favourite rivalry in the series. Hank and Tricky go together so well and I'm always excited to watch them fight. There are other full Series/Movies with deep characters, high budgets and voice acting and what have you, but Tricky and Hank are somehow more compelling than a lot of them and they don't even have dialogue. Well done again, Krinkels 🙏 We will all be looking forward to potential future installments.

I mean if you remember what happens with antipathy hank it's no surprise. That mf walked in blood from how many people he killed before he got to tricky. The other hank is good but he got tired of constantly being revived and having to deal with tricky. Plus he even got shorter from what we seen here.

The thing I find interesting about 1:07 is it 1: definitively shows that the agents in this purgatory are not there out of choice and don’t want to be there. (Which yeah of course why would they). As well as implying that they’ve tried to escape before, after all how else would they know they can’t escape. 2. Really drives home how committed these guys are to trying to stop Hank. Gotta hand it to them for that despite being generously considered fodder. 3. Much like Hank, dying here doesn’t seem to mean much, as the soldat seems to be communicating to Hank.

nice observation, it really feels like the soldat is the one talking directly to hank. Maybe it could be considered the AAHW agents' will as a whole.

Theory: -7:00-- So we see that the crustacean arm grabbing the MC6 styled Hank is what merged Hank with it as seen in MC9. It took the S-3LF of that Hank in the Other Place to revive him since he was dead when he was being Magnified. My idea is that when Tricky revived Hank in MC6, he used another method other than Enmeshment, so Hank's S-3LF in the Other Place stayed there. This can probably be supported by Doc's computer finding 4 Hanks (--3:57--), and What looks to be MC3 and MC4 Hank (--0:30--, --1:22--). When Doc opened up his computer to look for Hank, 4 different results popped up, so it could be that every time Hank was revived, the one who does so uses a method that isn't Enmeshment. And therefore, another one of Hank's S-3LFs is created on the spot when he's revived, and each time he dies, they end up in The Other Place. This is all really complicated right now but it's super fun to theorize on!- Revision (thanks to Ice Crawl 19 for some of this): 7:00 So we see that the crustacean arm grabbing the MC6 styled Hank is what merged Hank with it as seen in MC9. It took the S-3LF of that Hank in the Other Place to revive him since he was dead when he was being Magnified. Whenever Hank dies, and is revived, he regains a fractured version of his previous S-3LF, while that fragment of his S-3LF stays locked up in The Other Place. Antipathy Hank is the Hank with least amount of S-3LF, explaining why he's so brutal, he's practically not human anymore, as many say. Virtually no personality, just a robot programmed to do what he does best, "what comes natural" for him, killing (also explaining why he immediately goes after the other Hank). After he dies at the end of MC7, Hank completely loses his soul, explaining why when Deimos throws him in the Magnification Chamber to revive him, it has to fetch a S-3LF from The Others Place, since Hank's soul is completely and permanently fractured and locked up in The Other Place. This can probably be supported by Doc's computer finding 4 Hanks (3:57), and What looks to be MC3 Hank (0:30).

Multiverse

[@lol_dab]

It would make sense as their fighting style are distinctively different. MC6 hank seems more brutal and fast paced while the other one seemed more keen on accuracy and style and was more hesitant.

[@mattvin2503]

i never realised those two grunt fellas might be early hanks. the black markings were from the injuries of those episodes. but that thought seems to spawn more questions then answers, like how the hell are these two hanks down here when he supposidly never died in the first place? Those bandages might have revived him afterall

[@galenmarek4117]

Yeah, a lot of these theories are really fun, and I like this one a lot too. That's a good catch on the 4 Hanks too, though it still leaves the question as to how Hank was revived so many times between episodes if not through enmeshment. Could someone other than Doc have done it? Or could Doc know of a different method (which seems unlikely at face value without conjecture, given what we know through Arena and arguably Dedmos)

[@lightningkitten]

i don't think the post-6 hank is a "different person" in hank's body, i think they're all hank

[@ZyxieRumor]

One thing I realized in the end is that it explained why Hank had that tentacle arm at the end of MC9. We all thought it was a malfunction of the revive machine that gave him that tentacle. But now we know the real reason wasn't from the machine malfunctioning, it worked fine, it was from the tentacle that stabbed Hank and the machine extracted MC6 Hank right when it was about to plunge him to another section of Hell.

[@Taurmega]

Probably the most confusing MC animation to date. Super hard to wrap my head around the stuff here (coming from someone who's in the know on all the obscure lore from Nexus and the like) Also, the music for this one is absolutely phenomenal; can't wait to see it uploaded and to hear it on its own merits.

Another thing: Antipathy is reckless and aggresive, making him easier to catch up. Consternation, conversely, is slow and methodical, so he plans enough to wipe an entire room and not get hit at all. Basically, Antipathy just go bang bang; Consternation thinks first, THEN bang bang.

fun fact: Antipathy means settled aversion or act of dislike

[@lolrus5555]

@@bababooey5402 on top of this is the fact that the combat effectiveness is the other way around for both Hanks when it comes to the Retainer; as part 1 shows, Consternation Hank got utterly thrashed by it and was unable to even land a single blow on it. Conversely, while he does admittedly have Tricky bailing him out a time or two and that the Retainer is apparently 'too tired' to use its telekinesis on him, Antipathy Hank is actually able to hold his own against the hell warden reasonably well, to the point of figuring out how to do lasting damage on it (impale things into its body so it can't regenerate) and managing to predict and dodge those flash step attacks.
