Ultrakill 7-4 P-RANK "...Like Antennas to Heaven"

[@feverouslemon]

The fact that a literal walking military base loses its shit when it sees a tiny blue robot shows how much of a threat V1 would've been to mankind

[@elegy5727]

The terminal mentions that the Earthmovers were the pinnacle of the war before the New Peace, basically they were the last machines, V1 was an prototype developed shortly before the New Peace, what does this mean? that V1 was created with the sole purpose of destroying the Earthmovers. And think about this, V1 is only a prototype, that has the implication that it is prone to having failures and making mistakes. Now imagine what a completed V1 would have been like.

This fight becomes infinitely more poetic once you realize that the terminal entry for the earthmover implies that you were, quite literally, built to kill these things from the inside, although you never actually got to because V1 models never made it to full scale production before the war ended. After 200 years of technological innovation for the sake of endless bloodshed; from the Guttermen, to the Guttertanks, and to these behemoths, you finally finish the cycle of perpetual obsolescence by superseding the Earthmover.

what's even more poetic is that you know each new machines are designed to counter the pervious one?

But you might be asking how the next layer will have a V2 fight if he's dead. Well, since the next layer is the *Fraud* layer, I think you can connect the dots easily.

Ngl this design is actually genius. This layer made me start using knuckleblaster in combat.

Idk if this was planned but now i genuinely utilise knuckleblaster, when before i never actually switched to it from the feedbacker.

I believe V1 is the prime machine and being in general, considering it didn't struggle much with Prime Souls that terrified even The Council I don't think neither mankind or God had made anything more powerful. Now imagine if the V model had reached full production, swarms of tiny juggernauts that will only stop to the lack of blood to harvest.

[@freezerblade1156]

I honestly have a slight feeling that the environment in 7-4 (the abominable sands) is VERY similar to what it’s like on the surface in Ultrakill’s universe. Only thing separating them though are the giant ass robots, and the fact that there is no hope of the sands recovering. It’s just fire, fire, and more fire. With some sand conveniently there too

Wait, "...Like Antennas To Heaven" a Direct Reference to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Song with the Same Name on Lift Yr. Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven And, The Boss Name itself, "Earthmover" is a Reference to Have a Nice Life's Song with the Same Name on Deathconsciousness.

Finally someone said it

[@6sinegohwan336]

This fight gave me armored core 6 vibes so much, fighting the boss strider.

[@seek6065]

Earthmover: stares at the floor V1: stands there Earthmover: *immediately tries to kill itself before V1*

[@Violence-JoséRicardo]

oh yeah i just realized it would probably die if it tried to shoot v1 so up close and personal lmao

[@seek6065]

​@@Violence-JoséRicardo, from when I watched this, I thought the EARTHMOVER was trying to kill itself after seeing his TRUE opponent, the machine that was DESIGNED to kill it, so it didn't want V1 to get the kill, but then I think about your comment, and "Oh yeah, huh." But no, it truely was just going to kill him, but smth else shot em.

[@donversak7482]

I remember entering this level and genuinely yelling out “HOLY SHIT” for the first time. Absolutely glad about my purchase of this game

[@InvaderG.I.R]

The way it went from D to an S rank was satisfying

[@Ogamer320]

before i played the level i was expecting V3 to make an aperance

[@The_Menendez]

there is only v1 and v2, nothing else

[@Ogamer320]

@@The_Menendez i know a small amount of Ultrakill lore so before the 7-4 Boss i thought that will be some kindn of V3 wich V2 stole whiplash from

[@The_Menendez]

@@Ogamer320 hakita is kind of a hard ass about v1, its probably his most favorite and the community sometimes like v2 better so thats probably why he was killed off and why he confirms there are no more V models

4:00 the sync is unreal

[@knightlitesoldier]

I wonder if the earthmovers are an allegory for the centaurs mentioned in Inferno. It would be another crazy coincidence hacked by Hakita.

[@BoredFreshman]

If I'm correct, 1000 means "sen" in Japanese, which is believed to be where earthmovers originated from

[@scorpio0494]

“Commence mission: Destroy the BFF arms fort, ‘Spirit of motherwill’”

[@queenmiller13]

The title refers to a song by a band called Godspeed you! Black emperor

[@ZaTheLean]

From one of the best albums ever made

[@Tealenn]

New boss got me like :Wtf whole level??

[@lIlIIllIlI]

i was listening to lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven and youtube recommended me this, not disapointed tbh

[@5P_OFFICIAL]

I just realised that earthmover's buildup is extremely similar to corpse's build up They both appear in level backgrounds, slowly moving around, and with each level you get closer to him

[@DarkGreyQ]

Did not know that the name of this level was a reference to Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven's last track. or it was just a coincidence

[@flamingzucchini7843]

you really think that could be a coincidence??

"he made it through." "what do you mean he made it through? HOW DOES A STUPID ROBOT KILL AN ENTIRE EARTHMOVER?" "lobotomy."

[@mercifulmartyr]

I hope hakita adds a sort of snapmap mode so players can easily make and share their own maps adding even more replayability than it already has, not to mention all the content it would provide for a lot of creators

[@ionisator1]

beginning is just "SHIIIIIIII- *charges up attack*" "OUWWWWWWWWWW"

[@nov_Dio]

It breathes... it thinks... and it is scared of *you*

[@Hunterofyeets]

I think it's funny when it looks at you, screams, fires a round at you, and then immediately gets domed by another like 200 miles away.

[@joeypickering5273]

Keep in mind the V1 we play as is a PROTOTYPE. We will never see another, full, complete V1 but if a prototype can go throughout all of Hell, imagine what a complete V1 would do.

[@nov_Dio]

We play as a complete version of it, but it is incomplete in a way it never get mass production. I mean, it looks pretty damn completed on mechanical level to me.

[@bepeplia5086]

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR MENTIONED

[@anotherdnb]

GODSPEED MENTIONED MILLIONS MUST RISE

[@elk3407]

Have a Nice Life is also referenced in the boss itself. This level is unbelievably based

[@mercifulmartyr]

First p ranking this on brutal was a huge pain in the ass and took longer than it should have but after sweating to a brutal cybergrind record of 34 and raging over and over trying to get past it i just went ahead and tried to p rank 7-4 again just cuz why not and i did it like it was nothing first try. Cybergrind is extremely good practice

[@elliottlava7784]

One theory that i believe is likely is that the final phase of the war took place completely outside of humanity's control. That would explain why everyone fled to on top of the earthmovers, and why they didn't stop even when they were killing themselves by blocking out the sun. By this point, humanity had been crushed by the machines but they kept on fighting in arbitrary factions as per their coding. That's also why after the earthmovers died humans didn't try to continue the war: for them, it was already over.

[@sinctova]

Godspeed You! Earth Mover
