If you didn't notice, there is a Flagpole button before the match starts while on the Character select screen, which can Turn On and Off Gore (Or it just turns off the Blood effects, which you had turned on the whole video)

[@TheRealGrimPrime]

Something I don’t think you noticed is that when MX does up b he says wahoo just like he does in Mario 85 and Mario’s madness. Other references in with this mod are mx’s disguise which shows up in Fnf powerdown and the OG the intro animation actually only references the Fnf death screen during demise (also the forward smash references the chase scene from 85 and also references demise) the giant laugh MX does when you get a kill is a reference to the end of 85 and the beginning of demise

[@xfhhf-r2i]

[@Chinarider1972]

Every reference for the alternate costumes I could see: False Hero: Faker form of MX Pipe Crawler: In the middle of his faker form and MX True Form: What MX’s true form palette is, black and grey Fallen Kingdom: Appearance of the predestined, a retake of MX Lucas: The victim that MX either goes for first or actually has to try to catch (depends on the story) Damsel: A fan made Mario 85 Princess Peach has three forms similar to MX Flames: Fire Mario powerup Mario: The real Mario’s palette Household Demon: The Ao Oni from the rpg maker horror game of the same name (I believe) Lord X: Not a horrorbrew but instead an EXE, canonically friends with MX, is an older incarnation of 2011X and is “very playful” Bill: Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls Finn: Finn The Human from Adventure Time Twisted And Fucked Up: Joke about being twisted, just weird colors Kill Your Girlfriend: I think that’s Anton from Antonblast Mr. Virtual: Another horrorbrew who manifests in your head through the virtual boy Gameboy: Gameboy palette Edit: Others in the replies helped a lot with these, One Phone is Ghostface, Rick Completely Sane, although the weird name might be William Afton, I also found this myself while scrolling through House Of Horrorbrews, but HateThisPrey might be an Emperor M reference

[@restlesscentral2692]

You did those all right. Definitely missed some of the other colors such as the ones who reference famous slashers. The One Phone color is a Ghost Face color.

[@sneakysnail9225]

MX destroys everything and Linklight destroys my back 😭😭😭

[@itsthepizzaboi5707]

A bit late but, A couple things to know about MX since I play him (and love this beeg boi): MX’s First part of Jab (The headbutt) and his Down Tilt can spike, you must be on the very edge of the stage and have a character try to recover to actually use it though. MX’s Grounded Side Special or the Command grab where you run will keep running until you reach either a ledge or your flagpole meaning if you play on a completely flat stage, you can with run your opponent off stage, killing both, however (seemingly always) it will kill your opponent first and (seemingly stage dependent?) MX might even survive while only killing his grabbed target. MX’s Up Smash has a specific hitbox to Bury a target, specifically, it’s when both MX and the target are on the same level and just before the move ends (So right as MX’s head slams down). MX’s Flagpole has a HP bar of sorts, obviously, with the flag being able to have a target hit against it (from memory) 8 times(?) until it disappears, likely to prevent too much juggling, however, the Flagpole’s “HP” will only reset if MX dies or if the Flagpole “dies” as using your Up Special or Down Special to summon the Flag will carry the same health over. On and for those who play with the Final Smash Ball Buddy or whatever it’s called, No MX does not have a custom Final Smash.

[@kray6969]

something that you missed with mx’s moveset: if you hold up-b, you will slam downwards after performing your recovery, if you land on someone while slamming, the flag pole will spawn on top of them and skewer them. this will allow you to follow up much easier instead of using the down-b to skewer

In Rival’s of Aether, very few mod characters have what I call a “Hard Mode”.

The stomp nair is cute, but he REALLY wishes he had Mario's sexkick forward air so he doesn't get bullied and walled out by small (and often Kirby) characters.
