Super Smash Bros - Basilisk of the Abyss (Merkava trailer)

[@Amgitstigma]

I'd like to have a word with whatever demon has been possessing you to make these incredibly good custom characters maybe do something about my motivation

[@lucasl3657]

"What if I put in Merkava from Under Night into Smash with a lot of high-detailed animations and attacks? ...You know, as a joke."

[@anothenblue2630]

The funny thing is that this happened because of a bet. "If you can make a Merkava model, I'll make him." Here we are.

[@lucasl3657]

@@anothenblue2630 One of the most well-executed bargains I've had the pleasure to see the results of.

[@anothenblue2630]

The bargain goes even deeper because to get KJP's assistance, I offered to animate stuff for him, like Dark Samus. You can see the results on his Twitter.

[@huyphan7825]

Smash modders having cracked open SSBB so hard they've turned the game into customizable spaghetti: "fuck it, lets put an under night character into this now."

[@anothenblue2630]

And yet we still can't have Pokemon Trainer in PM, but hey, Wario's bike no longer operates on Cyberpunk physics.

[@KingBobStudios]

This character looks INSANE! I love it! I can’t believe how high quality this looks

[@MonteRicard]

And I thought Min Min had crazy range!

[@anothenblue2630]

Min Min has range, but no mobility. Merkava has both.

[@TheAveryChu]

This is mind boggling. Merkava makes the transition to smash so seamlessly.

[@WilfredCthulu]

This is someone I wanted to see in Smash but unlike Sora I knew the chances were really 0. The fact someone made a full ass mod for such an obscure character delights me. Now we just need Arcueid.

[@Yxazel]

Or nanaya

[@CrimsonAkato]

oh shit a 3D model of Merkava * ignores the mod for the game just looks at the model *

[@TNinja0]

There's Ridley being too big, then there's this.

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Seeing a Merkava 3D model is so surreal, let alone a smash mod of him but it looks SO GOOD!!!

[@th3d10t6]

Someone give these guys a medal. This is one of the best-looking brawl mods ever. And the animations are outstanding. You deserve a sub, my dude.👌🏿❤

[@mgbrad5018]

One of my favorite fighting game characters ever, love what you did here. Animations are spot on

[@milun2]

This character is really really well made (seriously, those animations are gorgeous), and looks really fun to play! Though..... I can't help but think he may be a tad overpowered (just judging from this trailer). Naturally I'd have to play him for a while to determine that, so I may be completely wrong here.

[@anothenblue2630]

He is busted. That's kind of the point. I made him as accurate as possible, but he's a UNI character and a rushdown character at that.

[@milun2]

@@anothenblue2630 Oh, in that case fair enough. Don't know what a UNI character is, but if he's supposed to be a Giga Bowser/Wario man-type then he's a very good one!

[@anothenblue2630]

UNI - UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH. He's a normal character, but his kit simply has no place in this game without gutting him.

[@BlazeArceus777]

@@anothenblue2630 if somebody learned how to make fully functioning AI for him he would make a good boss character lol

[@GameAW1]

@@anothenblue2630 So what happened to Bayonetta basically? I do think he can somewhat be appropriately nerfed without gutting him. For example, the width of the screen in UNICLR and the width of the screen in Smash are completely different. His grab range could be lessened to match around the length he would have in his home game rather than going for screen-wide here.

[@EU_DHD]

Officially approved by the Merkava community. JP Voice actor would have been nice though.

[@anothenblue2630]

Since no lip sync is required, that's easy to do. I have the necessary files.

If only Merkava is a DLC guest in GGST post-S1. It would be BST blazing.

[@hdh7934]

Comsidering GGST make character adhere more to a small group of archetype (example: Gio is a rush down and Sol is a striker), a limb based zoner with flight, fire ball, setup oki, and command hit is too much archetype for one character

[@ItsMarkava]

@@pacowallochenkenrick Raven was introduce in Xrd Revelator and has ball oki in all versions of Xrd he was in, but in Rev 2 they made it require excitement gauge and made it harder to set up. He was pretty braindead in Revelator because of how strong and easy it was to set it up.

yall went absolutely IN on the final smash, too. I don't even play smash but the effort that went into making such a faithful moveset is incredible

[@fellowgibus6821]

I pray you’re the guy that’ll give us a godlike Saber PSA. Amazing work mate

[@smallsoul2374]

Legit almost makes me want to find my Wii and bust Brawl out again, this is some absolutely top notch modding work!

[@Boodendorf]

Holy shit, the animations are 1 to 1 to UNIST ones. This is so incredibly high quality holy shit.

[@sashisuugi4944]

This is absolutely insane, I love it. The model and animations are very high quality. It honestly looks one to one to the original animations.

[@kwaku7226]

My jaw was dropped when I was watching this trailer and all I can say this is so EPIC!!! I never played Under-Night, although I have played BBTAG twice and this right here is another masterpiece you made! ♾/10… I enjoyed every second of it! Yo, someone show this to Koefficient right away!

[@danielplacencia9633]

This is amazing,I am speechless at how cool this mod looks

[@SimAbes]

Absolutely love the BBTAG Team Clash Assault at 2:57

[@krrrapaje7934]

You made his animations look so good in 3d, and this model is amazing!!! Great work, hope you can keep it up 💜

[@quanmcinnis3022]

Dude, why are you a KZbinr? With Black Magic like this, you could run the entire gaming industry

[@daniellink8727]

This has to be one the coolest looking mod both visually and mechanically all around very nice job now im just waiting for a mod on soul of cinder or manus from dark souls aswell as a monster from monster hunter.

[@KnightLineArtYT]

This is probably one of the best mods for any game I've seen. His animations are top-notch and look pretty official. Great work!

[@oeidayo]

Merkava is one of my favorite characters of Undernight. This is so cool, as a Project M Player i'm SO excited about this

[@eliam1992x]

Bruh,now i want a smashcified version of UNI holy shit,imaging a platform fighter with this crazy movesets.

[@top__Ramen__]

yoooo this is the coolest PM mod I’ve seen in a while!!! Man, even just Merkava’s model is so satisfying to look at. Great work!

[@protocetid]

your characters always have incredible animations and particle effects!

[@champion5531]

Damn. THIS IS HYPE!!! Now I hope one day we may get Unist in a real smash game sometime in the future with possible characters like Hyde, Orie, Merkava, or even Gordeau. But this actually makes me want to pull out brawl and get my wii again just so I can play as Merkava!

[@revolverocelots291]

actually insane how good this is

Just port every French Bread character to Smash at this point. _Fantastic_ mod. I'm beyond impressed; I love French Bread fighting games (and fighting games in general). Can't wait to see what else you can put out in the future (if you're still doing this).

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few people up to the task, but I want to be able to squeeze out at least one or two more UNI characters.
