Project: MERC 2 "Retaliation"

Happy Madness Day 2021 and welcome to the second part of a fan Madness Combat animation!
After an escape from B.N.N. agency, our protagonist decides to move north, seeking nothing but retaliation. After the day T.H.O. company abducted him, all the feelings faded. The only remaining thought in his head induces him to murder. However, this one thought will be enough to accomplish his plan of revenge. And like a perfect killing machine he is, James will annihilate anything that stands in his way.

the original madness combat series ( by krinkels ) should have been like this, normal A.T.PS and agents put up an actual fight instead of them just dying, original madness combat would have been more fun and interesting if krinkles did this

I like how the engies know basic combat dodges and maneuvers, while the soldats can dodge a lot, even if they aren't as impressive as the two from Teleport Interference. Even if they get cut down anyway I feel they should at least have their advantages over regular agents emphasized. Also how the music starts as a reference to Apotheosis but the moment the former MERC enters the music suddenly switches to the Project MERC motif

[@JustABrazillianDude]

yes on some animations they like a normal grunt and i hate that i like more a balanced combat a character without powers vs a entire base

[@HandsFreeProductions]

canonically the engineers were tooled up as leaders of agent groups, where the soldats are specifically hit troops. Soldats are tougher, engineers are better leaders.

[@beywheelzhater8930]

Love the calm nature of the main character here, through most of the animation their movement is calm and precise, casually going about things as if it was another Tuesday. The only exceptions to this being after his metal chestpiece gets shot and after the helicopter escapes where he shows notable rage, something that seems to majorly throw off his game as both times he proceeds to quickly make a costly mistake with the first being a sudden drop kick that leaved them prone during a battle and the second allowing a surprise attack to happen from behind It is real great characterization tbh

[@alvaro781minayt8]

The animation was great overall. Although there is always room for improvement. The walking animations kind of feel stiff, you can try some walking animation tutorials to see if that helps, other than the walking bit; the animation is magnificent. Plus, love the callbacks to old madness episodes; great job.

Is the head bobbing down and up when walking is what needs to be improving

Ngl the way animation changed for the past, is awesome, I loved the reference at the end where engineer performed Sanfords standard poses in helicopter, same for the beginning where the protagonist did the reference with Hank killing grunts with his car, the soundtrack is also very sick and enjoyable to listen.

[@halosreaper1]

1:51 that right there is my favorite part of this entire animation. There are so many animations and games where the protagonist doesn't use a human shield but look how effective that is! He's saving his armor by giving himself shiftable cover like any real person would!

[@fein260]

I like it because you are one of the few who gives prominence to special agents (The Yellow Blood Classics) in addition to highlighting their skills, making them difficult to kill. Well done.

I really do love it when armor is included in animations... and actually DOES something, since usually it's treated as effectively just a visual sprite without doing all that much. (Aside from GOLEM, and some MAG agents, aka the big ass armor plates where that's the whole gimmick of those enemies)

[@DullNull]

I saw some of the references to the original series like the intro. The intro was an obvious reference to Madness Combat 2 and when it was transitioning to where the character is (through the window) I think it was a reference to the train scene during Madness Combat 6. And the helicopter escape scene was also a reference to Madness Combat 5.5 or Madness Combat 8 during the "Sanford and Deimos" time.
