[@FUNKe]

I love the lighting and aesthetics/medieval theme, nicely done

[@madeoinheavno]

He did good.

[@vvvaire]

Aay lmao 👽

[@aidenkrupp3904]

+FUNKe wait wut how could dis happen?

[@jim-76]

+Aiden Krupp it might be hiss

[@JordanLeBlanc3D]

+FUNKe I tried my best. Glad you like the lighting. :)

[@MechaFourth]

This suprised me, very well done!

[@StrelitziaLiveries]

Im surprised uber funke and you are here

[@PluffyFX]

Brutal! Amazing music too.

[@SyRePr]

Very well made, one of the best animations i have seen.

[@lefleiner3408]

NO GUNS, EXPLOSIONS, -10/10, -IGN, OKAY kidding! THAT WAS AWESOME! I BARELY CRIED! the fact that there is no gunfight, explosions, etc. is awesome! Great work! EVEN THE GREATEST! The choice between Saxxies is incredible!!! SO MANY GOOD SFMS, BUT YOURS IS ONE OF THE BEST!

[@suchafake5269]

I love the animation, the models, the camera angles and the lighting. You could've won Action if you beefed up the storyline a little. I hope to see you back up this year and see you win.

[@Ramseas119]

fantastic animation! enjoyed this very much!

[@YurySib]

Amazing job!

[@Dapstart]

that conga sniper at the end tho XD

[@kingcrawful7903]

That was awesome! You got my vote :)

[@anyarr]

This is amazing!

[@lolripk]

Awesome!

[@Youssef-he1mr]

GOOD JOB! I'm surprised this hasn't won.

[@JordanLeBlanc3D]

+Youssef Kamel Well we were happy as it got more votes than 3/4 of the action nominees. Valve just decided themselves that it wasn't good enough.

[@Keybaee]

AMAZING!

[@dreamproduction9840]

This is damn good cannot resist giving a like

[@brandoventuro]

Wooooow, i was in that demoknight battle when it was announced too

[@DdraigMadsonV]

i love this video its amazing

[@Wolfine21]

Awesome animating bro!

[@dozer1431]

Nice! I always love a good medieval vid! :D

[@efrenalmaguer777]

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! Btw, great video and story!

[@doctorsteen]

This was very well done. I can easily see it winning you a saxxy this year!

[@lami1253]

There can be only one! XD

[@2fortranger636]

Wow, this is great. I like it.

[@IceWolve67]

The animation is amazing, the only negative would be that it's the kind of video where we all knew the red's gonna win... but that's just nitpicking, you have my vote :)

[@LePLusCoolDesCools]

This is pretty good. But maybe a bit too short.

[@madeoinheavno]

3 well known sfm makers and a famous youtuber commented nice.

[@Kanchou_]

Why is this video underrated?

[@yoshipoland4289]

Incredible animation. i wants you won ^^ good luck

[@jordanhaleofmankind2864]

Pootis King and Demoknight....Amaizing

[@UmbyaShpee]

SFM map download? :3

[@demovaer2579]

Both have sangu sleeves, blu demo has glasgow helm, I'm not sure about the other cosmetics. I would like to use the same cosmetic loadout for a demo knight animation I'm working on, if you could tell me I'd appreciate it so much!

[@thatscottishdude_2858]

The Black Knight

[@snipingflute4346]

XD good one.

[@Fizzie_Fiend]

Plot twist :demo was harvesting heads before the match so he wouldn't die

[@omen_v2589]

Should be a gamemode, 10/10

[@lefleiner3408]

All of those people in the end, were just dancing. They don't even see Hoovy and Demo

[@TheAnnoyingF2P]

Well of course Demo won. He wouldn't be the character he is today without his trusty sword. Nice work.

[@blizzard5873]

FreeToPlay Scout thx for spoilers you shitlord

[@jooferytann4175]

xd

[@metortilla64]

@@blizzard5873 no one told you to look in the comments before watching what did you even expect

[@baltx8460]

0:55 That's not a Demo, that's a soldier

[@UmbyaShpee]

If you give a tutorial on extracting the map then I will vote for you just saying because I really want that map :3

[@UmbyaShpee]

+speeder99123 Can you give steps I downloaded the file to the right of the photo but still nothing. When I extract to sfm and load the map into SFM. SFM cashes :(

[@josefvalenta4341]

1:43 even though he has a heavy armor he is quite agile...

[@jimbobjimmy5537]

2:24 i fucking flinched at that part >.

[@aidenkrupp3904]

only complaint other demo non main demo(the one with skullcuter) had white hands

[@christianlaine6436]

I think he was soldier

[@aidenkrupp3904]

no he even has demos stickie logo

[@marrickdenille9327]

more like white supremacists vs equalizers(people who want equal respect without regarding skin color

[@marrickdenille9327]

more like white supremacists vs equalizers(people who want equal respect without regarding skin color)

[@furiousfinch1587]

+Aiden Krupp I think the idea of a bunch of white men pitting two black men against each other was a bit offputting to the director, so they used a white Demoman model of some sort. Same knightly body shape and armor meshes but less racially striking.

[@Luxai]

If only they had remembered to armor their hands too.

[@chrisscar005]

why didn't you win? D:

[@calebbaker5771]

Asome

[@gweegweezoozoo]

2 tickets to the sword show.

[@henrybub4669]

and im not givin em to ya

[@ArcRay20]

so why did the Soldier's helmet have an eye hole covered? to even the playing field?

[@kingcrawful7903]

I'm pretty Shure that was a demo because that is a demo hat.

[@JordanLeBlanc3D]

+ArcRay20 It is actually a re-textured demo to be white. Clever imagination though. :P

[@MrKarma4ya]

This is nice, but let's be honest, animations are a little choppy. For eg. when one demo punches the another, it doesn't feel strong enough. Winglet's animations are by far superior.

[@wafl423]

+MrKarma4ya True but it is still a grat animation

[@coconut7362]

+MrKarma4ya I guess you compare every animator to a professional who takes years to produce sfms? No shit Winglet has better work.

[@MrKarma4ya]

+It's Raining Flaming Roosters Yea, I compare them. why? Because this is a saxxy entry and there gonna be a lot of comparison in competition, no matter what. Many people are competing, even Winglet, and there WILL be comparison. Little errors may make a difference between winning or not. I can't animate a finger, but i know these animations could use a little more tuning.

[@coconut7362]

MrKarma4ya Yes, you, of all other people, would know all about how this animation can use work.

[@the_winglet]

+It's Raining Flaming Roosters I'm not a professional and I've never spent more than 6 months on one project... Just calm down there m8

[@Groobis]

I thought the demo would have some kind of guilt thing or something after killing the other knight. good animation non-the-less

[@yThos]

Toldi?

[@thebluecrusader6134]

yep demoman is the true scottish knight

[@hunskman199]

Super! :D

[@CommanderScout]

My greatest enemy is dead

[@NinjaLayor]

Well done, and good animation. Now, the only thing that grated, only because I'm a stickler on medieval weapons, is that you can't actually draw a sword from a sheath on your back. It's not physically possible. Now, you can draw one from a sheath at any location on your sides, either onhand or off hand, but not the back. Regardless, well done with the animation. Have any other animations that I can check out?

[@NinjaLayor]

+speeder99123 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

[@serialkillerwhale]

+NinjaLayor I've read somewhere they used these sheathes where the bottom is a proper sheath, but the top section only has the lower side, allowing you to unshteath it halfway, then just swing it outwards.

[@NinjaLayor]

serialkillerwhale That does sound intriguing, however, I fear that it would be, for the most part, impractical, given that it would cause the blade to easily rattle around, or worse, fall out.

[@serialkillerwhale]

NinjaLayor Not nessecarily, on average the bottom section is around the length of your average one-handed short/hand and a half sword, (Basically it can be as long as you can pull a sword out) giving it a fairly snug fit. The top section also only requires that the blade be able to swing out the "Top" side, and can be anywhere from a simple "Slide" at the bottom to a U-shaped tube as long as the rest of the sheath.

[@epiczzzz420]

+NinjaLayor You can take a sword from a sheath on your back, you need to hit it so it is more horizontal as you pull it.

[@GinoArigo]

Seriously though, so many chances Demo could've slash or stab the guy. -3- Great animating. :)

[@jimmyjo2634]

also iam talking about a claymore in medieval time not modern

[@deangelogomes5272]

And at 2:15 you see the demo mark

[@baltx8460]

The creator of this video made it a demo mark because it's a demoknight tournament but the white demo is actually a SOLDIER!

[@jacknewton6318]

Why is blu demo and white

[@endsect2175]

Wait, why does the BLU demo have white hands? The RED demo looked normal.

[@baltx8460]

It's a soldier

[@stanovanyo6867]

demo vs demo :DD

[@planetkc]

great, a new Valve update.

[@DefecTec]

White demomen 😂

[@jimmyjo2634]

they should add a claymore if its already added then nvm

[@arip7417]

Eyelander's a claymore but yeah sure, nvm

[@bitablesky4348]

if u look close the blu demo is really a solder

[@bitablesky4348]

dude if u look at his hands he has white hands and the face of a solder

[@JordanLeBlanc3D]

+Dylan Post It is actually a demo re-textured to be white.

[@arifsyah46]

4 cosmetics on 3 cosmetics slots? weird

[@legmodplayer5616]

the BLU one was whitestill really cool though

[@ThunderEwokB]

If I had to be honest I'd tell I wouldn't vote on it, but there's a reason that would apply only to few people there I think. Historically accurate techniques, movement and a bit of sense... this video lacks it.

[@Horusa1]

wait a second, why does the other demo have white hands? nice job though

[@DRJOYCEPHD]

still a beter drama than what accualy won

[@Cheezime]

wow

[@spyssappinmahsentry]

hey, I saw the sole saviors at the begining on my 3rd crate I got a strange sole saviors worth 1.9 keys :)

[@sonitrok2499]

can we give, like one thousand likes, because it diserve it

[@bartmanfantanfart36]

0:46MEEM

[@Myahster]

Tf2 meets Chivalry

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

0:57 demoman has white hands.

[@jordanstevenson2070]

I think the blue demoknight wasnt actually a Tavis Degroot clone. I think it was a generic white man (again hinting not a demoman clone). It was made easily generic by the helmet covering the face, yet still looking like a demoknight. Pretty good animation.

[@UmbyaShpee]

+Commander Jupiter It was heavy that time don't believe me look at 1:50

[@Mrguy42Gaming]

Dark souls pvp with less lag

[@mr.silver1614]

wait if that BLU guy is a demo man then why is his hands white?!?!

[@baltx8460]

It's a SOLDIER

[@untacomagico3893]

COMGA :D

[@epicland8482]

the black warrior

[@Gorenc420]

white demoknight wow

[@john98765333]

Was the other Demo a white Demoman?

[@FlawlessRemix]

It was a white reskin of Demo

[@john98765333]

FlawlessRemix This comment was 7 months ago.

[@FlawlessRemix]

john98765333 Ok? You still may not know what it was so I told you, Is that bad?

[@john98765333]

FlawlessRemix It is bad that you'd necropost something this old. But thanks for your good intent anyway.

[@arifsyah46]

the crit rate on half zatoichi and skullcutter are seriously ridicilous i got killed by tons of people using that fucking melee weapons so annoying,by now i want valve to nerf all demomknights melee weapons to no crits!!! except when your charging

[@husainyzs]

booooooo for redddd

[@RealRocketRacer]

Nice Animation but the Story is weak #NoHate

[@Bryan13-17]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@supersaiyanafify]

dafuq ???

[@donkersif7770]

Totally not a clash of clans rip off

[@Lobertherp]

Named blackvenom, referencing clash of clans, confirmed. You see venom, here on the strange universe that is the internet no one cares on others opinions
