Madness Combat 5: Depredation 

When I was still young, I remembered immediately closing the window the first time Tricky looks at the screen because I thought I was next.

Hank: *Is Doing A Massacre* Tricky: WANNA SEE SOME REAL SPEED?

It’s amazing what bandages can do

It’s scary that Hank isn’t the hero, or the agents aren’t called the enemies. In fact, it’s pretty much the opposite, The protagonist and the victims. Really goes to show how Madness’s main character is not a good person.

From this point onward, Hank went from being a person to a mangled pile of flesh held together by bandages and clothing.

I like how they're careful to call him "the protagonist" instead of "the hero."

In life, you are either. 1. The Protagonist 2. The Savior 3. The Clown

I find it funny how Hank is an master of ALL combat styles with ALL weapons, including styles that don't even exist, like using unloaded guns as melee weapons

Some people watch their kids grow up. They watch their favorite TV shows from the 90's be put out to pasture. But me? I watched Hank turn into a fucking lobster.

In real life, you laugh at clown, in Madness Combat, CLOWN LAUGHS AT YOU.

This is where the series started getting real.

The reason I love this series so much, is that every little thing has purpose in the story. The duo in the truck that have Hank the sword would eventually be Sanford and Deimos. Hell, even the posters have purpose.

Nothing is more iconic than “Somewhere in Nevada”...

"You do not kill clown Clown kills you" So he's Russian

Without knowing that it’s Sanford and Deimos, seeing two grunts in a car just show up out of nowhere, throw hank a sword, then try to get the hell out of there before being crushed by a night club is probably the single most non-sequitur thing that has ever happened.

3:12 Probably my favorite moment in the entire series, it is so random and yet fits the carnage that is going on so well.

3:15 "DANGER PLAYER TWO: ELIMINATED" is quite possibly my favorite piece of text in the entire Madness Combat series lol

4 ways to survive madness combat: 1. Bandages 2. Be the Protagonist 3. Zombie 4. Be Tricky

I love when ever Tricky appears it says “OMFG CLOWN” It cracks me the hell up

You can tell this episode is when Matt really improved as an animator from the previous ones. The character movement, the camera angles, the sheer amount of shit happening on screen, the jump in quality is just insane. This is when Madness truly became something special Imo, instead of just being another run of the mil edgy flash animation

"Jesus is back and he's not crucifucking around" - The Bible 2

I love how whenever Tricky gets hurt or killed he's just like "no u."

0:48 - "SKYLIGHT: Please do not crash through this window and kill all the people inside. Thanks! - Management."

Tricky was literally manipulating reality. It’s only natural that hank lost but to be able to best him and wound him is seriously impressive.

I like how at 1:40, one of the zombies gets shot by a stray bullet from Hank's Uzi. I love Krinkels's attention to detail.

its been 10 years since it was released, and yet it cracks me up so much, mindless and senseless violence ftw

tricky is so dang strong, he literally knocked hank *_up_*

You can really feel the newgrounds energy from this episode

2:39 An appropriate reaction to seeing an undead clown in a steel face mask crawl out of the floor.

0:42 wow! Krinkels predicted Twitter users!

Hank: *exist* Tricky: im about to end this man's whole career Hank: *dies* Tricky: im about to restart this man's whole career

1:47 - Never noticed here how Hank opens his hand to grab the Zombie Agent's gun, Krinkels' attention to detail is next level.

Damn, this clown part was scary a few years back.

0:25 "before i die, let me just arrange my glasses properly."

Just noticed that Hank and Jeebus work together for .2 seconds when Tricky comes in and Hank accidentally shoot Jeebus

I always felt 5 and onward is where Madness finally found it's color palette, darker shades of grey, red and proper shadows and shading. It's really cool seeing how far this series has come from a simple revenge story to a full blown apocalypse of sorts.

This feels like something you would watch at school on the computers

0:25 Can we talk about the victim fixing his glasses before dying? And the fact that Hank let him fix them?

2:49 and that's when this series went from _good_ to *great.*

Depredation is the best madness episode imo. The sountrack. "OMFG CLOWN!" "YOU DO NOT KILL CLOWN" "CLOWN KILLS YOU!" That little intro thingy. Overall a great episode.

0:35 I like how it says "The Victims" instead of "The Antagonists"

Reality Compromised. Clown has been Engaged. That might be the scariest two sentences in history just barely edging out "I am completely out of ammo."

Jebus - The savior Tricky - The villain Hank - The badass

This entire episode is just Jeb and Hank rough housing and I LOVE it. Jeb trying to add to his glory and kill Hank on his own, and clearly getting upset whenever he fails to or gets hit. Plus Hank struggling a bit but clearly having the time of his life. And then much to both of their confusion, Tricky shows up and completely RUINS both of them. This specific episode feels like such a different Era of Madness. It isn't all "Normal" like in MC1-4, but it also isn't pure Madness with MC6+. It's just this inbetween for when the insanity of the actual series kicks in. And it feels like an eventful night before the actual nightmare starts for everyone

2:50 Tricky: You killed me? Im going to be your worst nightmare on the rest of the serie, Hankerchief

3:36 Joker 2019 Deleted scene

Man even now, after about 10 years of being desensitized to violence, at the age of 23, the image of a reality-breaking zombie clown holding the upper half of Jesus's head @3:14 is just so chilling.

I will always consider this Madness Combat to be the best of the bunch, it’s really when the series REALLY got good

Describing Madness combat in one Word: 0:10

this is where madness combat turned terrifying

Tricky: Decapitates Hank and beats him with his own scalp Also Tricky, two seconds after: ✌️^_^✌️

i really like how the agents always/attempt to fix their sunglasses even when they’re about to die, i like to think that’s because it’s what differs them from normal grunts, to have something of a personality, every single major character has clothes/accessories that give them personality, and the glasses are the only thing they have really

Why is the "player two eliminated" scene oddly satisfying-

This guy is fucking inmortal xD

2:43 I like this detail of how his back is wounded from when he was cut by The Saviors Sword

Tricky: Oh hey han-- Hank: *Shoots him* Tricky: i wanted say...HELLO OMFG *CLOWN HAS BEEN ENGAGED*

Out of all the people in this series "the clown" cracks me up

I love how the main role of jebus is just to turn hanks victims into zombies

This is by far, even after all of these years, my favorite addition to the madness series

"Skylight Please do not crash through this window and kill all the people inside. Thanks! -Mgmnt"

Remember when comps lag trying to watch this? Good times.

0:31 The way the opening shows all the characters is so cool

1 day guys. 1 day until this project's day. It's fun to look back at how cool Madness Combat was, and how it still lives on to this day.

2:49 “REALITY COMPROMISED!!” “THE CLOWN HAS BEEN ENGAGED!!”

this is Hank, he wears his masks and makes sure that he kills everyone to distance himself to not spread the virus be like Hank EDIT: holy shit i was not expecting this

At 1:53 Jebus holds the zombie from finishing hank because he wants to be the one to kill him

i know this episode is old as hell but i really love the different angles and visuals in this one. it seemed like a turning point in the animation for the series as a whole. solid episode.

2:04 omg, that fighting stance Hank adopts by using the empty pistols as melee weapons will always the coolest part of this for me, it's so amazing!

I vaguely remember recalling watching madness combat when I was young and I wanted to rewatch the series but kept forgetting, luckily the tricky mod reminded of this series, so far, I do not regret the choice of finally picking up this series instead of saying “I’ll watch it later” again.

I came here from FNF wanting to know about Hank and Tricky's lore and damn. This series does not disappoint. edit: the next person to reply will be the 69th replier. whoever you are, im subscribing to you immediately edit 2: the above has been completed

this went a fair bit harder back in the day because you could add slow motion by having complex animations and the hardware limitations would slow it like a PS2 during a heated fight. watching this on windows xp on dial up speed on a flash player meant when the roof exploded so did your frame rate, monitor, and speakers. absolute kino that cannot be replicated

9 years and only now i've realized that the final moments of this song are actually part of Abrogation's theme (when they're in the final floor against the auditor) Man this just really shows how much passion is behind this series from everyone involved, such cool attention to detail and continuity, this the reason why i love it so much

1:25 Never knew Hank could jump so high.

3:10 Deimos and Sanford :3

I was at a friends house when this dropped online for the first time and I remember watching it 20 times that day hoping for the next one to come quickly. The good old days when you used to have to wait for shit forever and just be patient, no harassing people no griping just waiting anticipating the next one.

2:38 After those 2 shots... Madness Combat would never be the same again

Sometimes I like to imagine the characters exchanging dialogue in this series while they're fighting. Hank: How many times do I have to kill you? Jesus: I could ask you that same question.

Also, it would be interesting if Krinkles did special "what-if" episodes. Like, what would happen if Hank got in the truck with Sanford and Deimos? Or what if Deimos waited for the possessed agent to come into the room to deal with him BEFORE reviving Hank? Or what if Jesus didn't kill Hank at the end of 7 and instead the two joined up against the Auditor in 8? I'd like to see some of those situations and even more happen.

this is giving me flashbacks of prowling on armor games, stickpage, and newgrounds when i was like 12. the simplistic animation, the over-compressed music, the obscene amounts of violence. better times.

All deaths: Nº1-2 - Choked Nº3 - Shot thrice with 1911 Nº4 - Headshot with 1911 Nº5 - Shot twice with 1911 Nº6 - Shot in cheek with 1911 Nº7 - Headshot with 1911 Nº8-30 - Shot several times with dual Mini Uzis Zombie Nº1 - Thrown at the floor Zombies Nº2-7 - Shot several times with dual Deagles Nº31 - Crushed by Hank Nº32 - Beaten with a Deagle mutliple times Nº33 - Stabbed in the chest Nº34 - Smacked in the face Nº35 - Shot thrice with a Deagle Nº36-37 - Shot multiple times with Uzi Zombie Nº8 - Headshot with Deagle Nº38 - Smacked in the face Zombie Nº9 - Shot multiple times with Uzi Nº39 - Headshot with Deagle Nº40 - Shot several times with Uzi Zombie Nº10 - Shot multiple times with Uzi Nº41 - Shot thrice with Uzi Zombies Nº11-12 - Shot multiple times with Uzi Nº42 - Ran over by streetsign Nº43 - Headshot with AUG Nº44-46 - Shot multiple times with AUG Nº47 - Stabbed in abdomen Nº48 - Stabbed in mouth Nº49 - Shot twice with AUG Nº50 - Shot thrice with AUG Nº51 - Stabbed in chest Jebus - Head torn in half Hank - Decapitated and head smashed against the floor

It’s like everytime he recovers from almost dying, he just gets better with defense and attacks. So all i had to say was that he is basically immortal. Wow.

Pretty impressive how many times Hank would have killed Tricky if not for the improbability drive basically making him immortal xD

This is probably my favourite ep It doesn’t really too heavily on past events so it’s a good way to get to know appearance without knowing lore

3:39 gotta admit tricky makes such an adorable face

Lol FNF guys being confused by the existence of the main character

I like how the Savior’s glasses turn slightly red before everybody else

Detail has seen an improvement and the whole design has gotten a tinge of darkness added on top of it, not only is the outside now dark but so is the inside, this is the point where the series really gets its final look in terms of style. Hank gets one of his iconic looks, his future ones will all be built upon this one. Jebus gets his cool coat and red glow behind his shades and Tricky becomes a menace and kind of scary (was to me when 10 years ago). Sandford and Deimos are also introduced very quickly.

3:31 Cheat activated

2:57 This how i imagine a fight between a professional and cheater

I always loved how this episode felt like a new beginning for Madness. Basically all the main characters got total redesigns, the animation quality jumped, and there isn't much plot development to ease it into the new, much more complicated story.

Hank: *gets brutally slaughtered by Tricky* Tricky: *✌️ ^ -^ ✌️*

1:58 No ones gonna talk about how badass this scene is?

I love how Hank literally chokes 3 guys with his shoe lace

3:05 hank:WEEEEE

what parents think we’ll do when we play too much video games (we could only dream)

Hank: **literally gets fucking exploded last episode** Hank: tis but a scratch

Thoughts as a first time viewer: Holy shit. This was like a hard reboot to the series and I'm so here for it. The sidescrolling is almost entirely gone, replaced with actual camera angles (!). Something about the character's movement is different, too. It feels more... Natural? The protagonist (who I know to be hank thanks to other comments) is now a fully unique character design with the bandages and the glasses. Jesus continues to be a strange but awesome presence in the series, and tricky obviously stole the show at the end there. I've got to assume the improbability drive is still active due to the sheer amount of nonsense, the agents swarming out of nowhere and particularly those two random guys who chucked a sword and then got crushed by a house (?). Also, it seems I was right and hank is just gonna keep on dying.

I like how Jebus in this episode looks so angry, he wanted Hank to be dead so much

What I love about this is how it shows the difference between Hank vs Jebus, and Hank vs Tricky. With Hank vs Jebus, despite them being enemies since Episode 1, they have a strong sort of respect for each other. At 1:54 Jeb stops the agent from just gunning him down there and then, wanting an actual fight. 2:07 Hank's basically saying "come at me" showing that he does actually enjoy their fights, 2:57 they both attack Tricky for interrupting the fight, and of course Madness 7 where Jebus mercy-kills Hank. They both hate and want to kill each other, but when they do fight it's honorable and somewhat dignified. Compare this to Tricky vs Hank, where Hank is fighting for his life half the time, and running away for the other half, and Tricky is so psychotically obsessed with fighting and killing Hank that he will murder anyone who does this first. There's no honor in their fights, and Hank doesn't enjoy them, it's just Tricky playing with his food. He even gives a weapon to Hank when they fight so it's more "fun". Hank and Jebus fight for victory. Tricky fights for fun. Hank even wishes to stay dead instead of fighting Tricky again.

Where the series took a drastic, much more wild turn... But also where I really started to fucking love it.
