I love how in just this first one, it seems like they’re trying to arrest TCO for their crimes against stickmanity, but at the end and through the next one it becomes clear that Victim is going after TCO for what he knows about The Animator or because he suspected they were working together.

The reason this group of people is better than something like glitchtale (in terms of animation) is that they use all of their previously established settings like REAL places that interact with the characters in a way that makes everything feel more real despite them being stick figures. The talent these people have is incredible.

And consistency. Improvements. And story? From what I’ve heard, Glitchtale is the Swiss cheese of stories.

[@vendetta_6643]

I love how each of the mercenaries has his own style of animation and they take advantage of that to fight, the pixels, he has the sword, the guns, the attack of jojos, the rock painting has the spear, the bow, the hulk shape, game&watch has the slow animation, the signal with which he erases the bird and the stickman with the glasses has the magnifying glass, the loop, the selector, it's incredible the variety of animation styles that this has

Something I noticed while TSC was originally trying to fend off the mercenaries, the specific things he created were actually poor matches against the three mercenaries he sent them against. For Ballista, he sent flying sharks at him. That’s crazy. The man is looks like he’s made for crazy. Maybe something cold and calculated that is able to adapt and punish his moves would be better suited to fight him. For Primal, he sent a rhino at him. Seeing from his strength and style of weaponry, he is the embodiment of ancient human hunters, which were proficient at killing large creatures. While he is able to deal with something big and tough, what about something small and plentiful? His strengths wouldn’t help all too much when there are just so many tiny things attacking him at once. For Hazard, he sent a bird. Just a bird. A normal bird too. While it did catch him off guard, it was only an ordinary bird that he was easily able to dispose of once he got his bearings. His image would depict dangers that, while sometimes sudden, are foreseeable. Maybe it would be beneficial to send something otherworldly and truly unnatural at him, that way, he would hopefully struggle at figuring out what to do against such a danger. I might be wrong on wether or not some of these would work, but it still interests me to think of what things would work better to fight against each mercenary. I got nothing on Agent, I’ve not seen enough of his capabilities to think of potential ways to fight against him.

[@mtmq8137]

TSC Could possibly be able to fight Agent one on one without fear of getting outnumbered out of thin air because the other 3 are still struggling with TSC's drawings.

I’ve taken the personal liberty of naming the mercenaries. 7:46 I’ll call him Primal because he looks like those cavemen stickfigures painted on cave walls and he also carries hunter gatherer style weaponry (spears, bow and arrows) 7:49 I’ll call him Pixels because he looks like the embodiment of the genre of pixel art and works like pixel art aswell. Like with his head turret. 7:43 I’ll call him Caution-Man because he looks like that guy on all those danger signs like next to pools and stuff. 7:39 I’ll call him Agent Smith because he just looks like a Smith and his glasses make him look like an agent. Hence Agent Smith.

I LOVE how all the Stick Mercs have diffirent styles and powers to diffirentiate them. An 8bit ninja, a cavepainting hunter, a sign fighter(who is animated with more choppy and stiff pose and I find it so damn cool) and a Stickman with the ability to harness photoshop. It’s such a clever way to diffirentiate the mercs and show their powers. Typically lackeys are hard to distinguish from each other but each of these guys are unique and it’s so cool! Damn Indie Animation has been eating good lately, the Lackadaisy Pilot, Monkey Wrench Ep 2, and now AvA S6 E1.

This is another masterpiece in the making. The mercenaries are all so unique, one is pixelated and fights with cartoony weapons, one is using medieval weapons because it's artstyle looks like the cave paintings of the cavemen, one is the standard symbol for a drawn man and mostly does a certain set of poses like the poses on signs you can see everywhere, and one can use the flash tools to fight. Would love to see more of The Second Coming's powers.

I'd like to point out something else for those who might have missed it. The pencil tool from the mercenaries is shown to be powerful in the hands of TSC multiple times in the second episode (perhaps too powerful). I'm calling him using a backup pencil from his pocket later. Check it out at 5:59 in this episode.

I like how the villains actually have their own unique style and personality. The pixel dude has an anime-like style. The bathroom/warning sign character is real Mr. Game-and-Watch vibes. The flip note sketch has a hunting warrior prowess. And then the more refined “it’s just business” aura. Really makes me excited to see how this develops and how enjoyable these fights are gonna be. Edit: The mercenaries are antagonists and so far have not shown signs of being a super mega evil villain corporation.

Something that I've always been enamored by with this series is how much personality each character has-showcased most by their diverging interests and fighting styles. This is best shown in the Animation vs Minecraft playlist, since there's the most time into that and the most opportunities to give them all the tools to meld their interests and their fighting style. Despite this, most of the main 5 don't have that level of integration between interests and fighting style outside of AvM. Obviously TSC has the most screentime, and his signature creativity has been shown from their introduction in AvA4-both in terms of figuring out different ways to defeat Alan and in terms of integrating drawing-based summons. AvA4 and 5 both showcased the latent explosive energy buried deep inside of TSC as well, though it's clear that said energy is not readily available to them. Between this episode and Animation vs Math, we see exactly how TSC can figure out complex strategies from simple escalation in logic, and that translates well into their fighting style even WITHOUT Minecraft items. Animation vs Pokémon, Animation vs League of Legends… we see it everywhere. TSC is easily the most developed on this front. Second place is Yellow, actually. Yellow's love of engineering and coding shines through so well in Animation vs Minecraft, what with the redstone contraptions and the command blocks. But even outside of the world of Minecraft, we see Yellow's interest show itself in other places-Animation vs Arcade Games shows Yellow as effectively the main character for once, and they use their coding skills to great use for problem solving. And there's also the important point where Yellow was the only one capable of figuring out how to summon Alan in AvA5 to help TCO fight TDL. No, this isn't fully integrating Yellow's interests into their fighting style, but it's a lot closer than the other three. I can imagine Yellow continuing to be the one hacking into systems, disabling cameras, taking control of automatic defense weapons, maybe even being the one to figure out how to hotwire one or more of those weaponized vehicles from this episode (which are apparently potent enough to give TCO a lot of trouble). Red and Green are at similar levels of development outside of AvM. Red's personality does shine through in their impulsiveness and pioneer-level problem-solving (with how they're usually the first one to try some weird strategy that the others quickly adopt when those ideas work), but Red is much more known for their affinity for animals nowadays. Meanwhile, Green's personality shines a bit less than Red's, with Green being much more perfectionistic and show-offy; though it does bleed through with having the flashiest weapon in the sparing section of this episode, I feel that Green should be at least on par with TSC in hand to hand combat by this point. In both cases, their personalities and interests only vaguely inform their fighting styles outside of the Minecraft world, and I hope they can become much more fleshed out. (Red especially deserves a notable win, seeing how they tend to go down first in many confrontations.) Since TSC is currently captured, I would love for Red and Green to become the two main fighters of the remaining four; Green could be adept at utilizing pretty much anything as a weapon (harkening to how proficient they are with the fishing rod during combat), while Red could be the one with the most unwieldy yet strangely effective tactics (perhaps with the emphasis on being the one to strike first). In fact, maybe Red could show themself as the fastest of the four after this episode, at least marginally. And then there's poor Blue. In Minecraft, at least Blue can provide some incredibly potent support through potions and agriculture, both of which are easily accessible and weaponizable in the Minecraft world. Blue does also have some aptitude with ranged weapons, which is hinted at during the sparing match between the stick fighters and Alan, but that's so little compared to the others. Unless they begin specializing in ranged weapons specifically, I'm not sure how Blue's AvM specialty can be translated well into non-Minecraft situations. If anyone else has any thoughts about Blue, please let me know! I am at a loss with this one. Now, I'm bringing up Red, Green, and especially Blue as a criticism purely because of how many other stick figures that have been brought in so far. Purple quickly gained a reputation as an opportunist, using quite literally anything they can get their hands on to give them an advantage (such as the character ability files in Animation vs League of Legends); they were very quickly shown to be willing to cheat and fight dirty, which immediately sets Purple apart from the main 5. King Orange, meanwhile, is much simpler and brutish in their approach to combat, relying on their ability to simply overpower others and facetank what they can't (granted, we have not seen Orange outside of AvM, so who knows how that would translate). The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have similar powers, but their personalities shine in the level of efficiency and brutality they both have, with TDL having a bit more brutality than TCO; the virus powers in AvA5 also helped to better differentiate TDL from TCO. And then there are the four mercenaries(?) in this episode, who brilliantly showcased personality and style in their one fight against TSC. 'Flipnotes' has a style of overwhelming the target with a flurry of blows, which no other character has. Caveman really showcases low-tech weaponry and brutal strength. Stopsign is quite literally forced to be economical in motion, so that gives a feeling of deliberate control. And then Glasses is the one with the most screentime and personality shown, being both economical with tactics and being almost obsessive with taking control; I dare say that Glasses already developed a grudge against both TCO and TSC, which could be why Glasses went out of their way to personally embarrass TSC when they very much didn't have to. Point is, their personalities show loud and clear in their actions and fighting style. I know you put a lot of love and care into these characters. It's obvious, and I love your team for it! As such, I am very much looking forward to whenever the next part of AvA6 is completed. The ending of this part makes me think that the four fighting stick figures will be driving the plot forward, and I'm excited to see how all four of them will be further characterized outside of Minecraft-especially considering how outmatched they all currently are. But they've fought through seemingly insurmountable odds before, and I can't wait to see how they manage to do so here.

[@animatorunoyncakatolyesi]

why are you talking about all the characters You didn't mention Victim, he's the first to start the series.

[@DreamerAirazel]

@@animatorunoyncakatolyesi I didn't mention Victim because he was not created during a time when Alan got good at showcasing personality through animation. Victim also has not shown up in any other episode until now, so there has literally been no opportunity to GIVE Victim a personality. Talking about them was not useful for the point I was trying to make.

[@rednecromancer2579]

I really love this. You clearly appreciate this character building thoroughly and I respect that 100%. Thank you for being so detailed in this, it helps me understand them even better as well (I’ve made similar observations). For Orange, I think he gives me the vibes of someone who isn’t very experienced (knowledgeable, yes, but not experienced) doing their best- the perfect way to describe them from fighting style to backstory. Orange’s tactics are very one-note, typically using Netherite in big hits, relying completely on large constructs. Which reflects his lack of experience perfectly, knowing what the best block is but not using every block to its fullest.

Never thought we'd actually see Victim ever again. Speaking of which, go back and watch the first AVA. What went from a small animation of a little stick figure, is now a full blown TV series.

[@sunnyfatigue]

These new 4 stick figures are so great. I love their distinct fighting styles: - Adobe Stickman uses Windows / Adobe tools as weapons and gadgets - Cave Art Guy uses tribalism like tactics complimented by their scary raw brute strength - Sign Guy uses an unpredictable movement pattern to get the upper hand in close combat while also using signs as different abilities - Pixel Stickman uses a vast versatile arsenal of different weapons that generates from their body

[@watcherofcontent806]

Same. Can’t wait to see them in action again.

[@icicleditor]

Plus, Adobe moves like a sticknodes character with very straight limb segments, so I nicknamed them "Nodes" since it also sounds a little like "Neo" with the shades and all

[@KidsTheseDays572]

Sign Guy = great super smash bros ultimate character ngl

[@l9m241]

I don't think they are from Adobe. While they have the toolbar from Adobe as some sort of "Toolbelt", they seem to be more like a Pivot Animator stickman. Since their limbs are straight stiff and the solid white head and flat angular glasses are something that would easily be done in the application. They seem to be using Adobe as more as a tool.

[@willowphoenix5926]

Something cool I just realized- when Orange/TSC is drawing while fighting, he takes inspiration from the people he's fighting and the attacks they use. To block the electric bullet things, he draws an electric eel. He uses a rhino as a shield from the caveman guy, but draws a simple geometric shield for the sign guy. For the guy with sunglasses, he uses things like a hand (relating to animation tools), a tool you'd use for mountain climbing (idk what that's called lol) for when he's getting dragged by a rope similar to a bungee cord, and a sword when the other guy used a line like a weapon. Idk about the snakes though, maybe it's because the guy seemed cunning, like a snake.
