The idea of Yoshi being indirectly powered up by the emerald he swallowed was an unexpected surprise. It turned the most one-sided fight in the entire series into something more ridiculously badass.
And then Mark reminds us that Metallix still has a chaos emerald himself and making it clear who the victor of this battle will be. The one who doesn’t commit tax fraud.
Oh yes. What this guy did to Yoshi was if anything even worse than what he did to him in the original, and all but cements the fact that he is sadistic to the core.
Bruh the whole beatdown until he blacked his eye was reaching levels of 'cursed' imo. 😭🤣 There rest was fxcked. That's a talent right there... not even a drop of blood spotted.
26:51 At that moment, you instinctively reacted at how Metallix crushed Yoshi on the wall. Just proves how much that animation was so well done it made you feel how the hits felt so real.
You know after the initial clip that Mark left for us gave me some time to at least realize the song that’s playing during that fight was Fulgore’s theme so for me the connection was rather simple.
well to be fair, killer instinct isn't as popular as other fighting games, I actually never heard of it until I decide to pay season 1 death battle a visit
13:47 First off, it’s pronounced BOE-shi. Secondly, it’s kinda funny you also referred to him as Washi, because that’s actually it’s original Japanese name, which also makes him Yoshi's “warui” counterpart, similar to Wario and Waluigi (warui means bad in Japanese, by the way).
As it zoomed on Bowser's face when he brought the Koopa Bros out, an ad popped up with some girl, and it said "look into her eyes, you need to learn proper etiquette" then it went back to Bowser. 😂
The first person I've found who recognised the Killer Instinct reference. For the record, Mark Haynes even did a small edit on his Twitter where he added a few more sound effects to that finishing combo.
Man......we may hate Yoshi in Smash, but even he doesn’t deserve this. Yoshi got massacred in this. Like, dude, Metallix needs to chill! Let my boy breathe for crying out loud.
ok so no one ever acknowledges this in any reaction videos I've seen but metal sonic seemed to be communicating with the grey emerald at one point and i hope that it's followed up on I later episodes
Yea I noticed that too. Quite suspicious... As for why reactors haven't commented about it, I think the biggest reason is because they tend to be reading/voicing it at the same time, so they don't have the chance to think about it before something else happens.
Love your Sonic voice. I voice Shadow pretty good so I thought it was fun narrate his text. 😂 but damn Yoshi got his ass beatdown. Metallix was using some of Broly’s moves.
Why did the name change? I know that a lot of fan content based on SMBZ used the name Metallix for Mecha Sonic’s final form, but when did Mark himself decide to use the name?
@@ghengiroo4143 it's pretty much because it was Mecha Sonic in the Original, & most are just so familiar with it that it's just second nature. It would've actually been Metallix from the get go if the assets had been ready sooner. We actually saw a snippet of Metallix in Sonic's nightmare during episode 4 as Mecha Sonic's TRUE form. However, Mecha Sonic was already quite cemented in the community by the time they were good enough for use, so Alvin was going to repurpose it as his true form that we would've likely gotten. Metallix's assets were released to the public despite this, & this is why we had so many Metallix animations despite the fact that we'd never officially seen him. I am very glad to see Metallix in all of his glory now though. Truly worth the wait if you ask me.
@@ivanelugo yeah that's true. But Mark himself Confirmed that he's gonna be called Metallix now. & once Episode 3 comes out, I'm pretty confident that most People will then refer him as Metallix
This was the most one sided fight in the series in the original series. And while still one sided, Yoshi made Metal WORK for that emerald in the remake.
I think part of Yoshi's problem was he had needed to try and put on more pressure after that slam with his tongue and give Metallix no time to power up. Yoshi would have had a better chance at victory if he had.
@@nuibaba280 I'm not arguing that he should have lost. I've seen the original. I knew he was gonna lose going into it. I was just talking from a tactics standpoint.
I've personally been wanting to see a reaction to SONIC X REANIMATE posted by Bilianna. But it's a year old by now, so if you have already encountered it wouldn't be much of a surprise.
While I can't deny that this new version has much more polished presentation, I still find myself preferring a lot of things in the original series over this. For example, Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik had a way more memorable introduction in the original, being all mysterious and in the shadows. His ambiguity made you wonder what his true intentions were. In this version he's... just there. Also the Koopa Bros had a better introduction as well. And lastly, it seems that Bowser's children have been scaled back to just Bowser Jr here. The Koopalings might still show up later, but I'm worried. And if they do show up, I really hope that Alvin continues to go with Nintendo's original and infinitely superior continuity where they are all his biological children. Just my two cents.
It was memorable but extremely stupid. Everyone knew who Eggman was and nothing changed about him as confirmed by Alvin. Him being a shadow robbed us of expressive interactions and dragged out a mysteru we already knew the answer to. Current Eggman is better. And the Koopa Bros being introduced like this is objectively better. It makes their existence more natural rather than showing up out of nowhere with no proper buildup.
So a long time ago I had an experience with the creator of this. He has a tendency for making massive Mary Sue's back in the day and handling the criticism terribly. The guy loves to milk this series whenever he fails. He's a furry porn artist but he often gets criticized for his basic edgy designs. So I was young and I told him having a twelve year old shoot both her parents in cold blood was really stupid and bad writing and basically everyone agreed but few commented, most noted, and he blocked me and all who offered advice. When that got backlash, he blocked more people. He then went on to basically ditch the character after awhile and go "she was too cringy, lol" like he'd been told. She might have been sold, though, idk. Years later I have heard he's not a really good person to interact with and his fame leans entirely on this animation. He had people donating for a new one for nearly ten years. Likely a scam but now one's happening. But if it will be finished or not is in the air.
