  • Okay, this is it!!! MAVERICKS - Episode 5.
    My 5th short film from my fan-series. A fictional story about what happened to Boomer Kuwanger after being defeated by X.
    "Mavericks" is my own fictional series about the events after Mega Man X.
    It basically asks the question: What if all the Maverick Bosses survived? Showing their side of the events.
    ----------------------
    This was my biggest project yet:
    9 months of work
    almost 5 minutes long
    15 characters
    a one minute long fight scene
    all in ONE take
    What I learned making this film:
    planning ahead (still struggling)
    humanoid animations (darn walk cycles!!!)
    using physics for shattering glass, sparks & debris
    dealing with fog (still tricky and noisy)
    using linked characters
    rigging and animating faces
    texturing efficiently
    timing your scenes
    lighting
    better file management
    ----------------------
    Special thanks:
    💙 Vera 💙
    For putting up with all my night shifts and working on this project basically 24/7 during the last month.

    • @cheahyuanhong
      @cheahyuanhong Месяц назад +31

      Reploids are categorizes by product; the one where they all look alike are mass produced Reploid Hunters, the lowest rank with pre-programmed combat data. Then there are Experimental Reploids, and those are build from the labs which test the limit how Reploid is to a human. Then they are Specialize Reploids, and those are the Reploids with massive body changes like Kuwanger, Eagle, and Chameleon, among others.
      I'm more interested in seeing how X, Zero and Sigma would look like as all three has been depicted as 'near human characteristics'. Since X and Zero are Robots from the year 20xx and Sigma is crowned as the highly advance Reploid of his era, their facial expression would be closest thing to a human.

    Kuwanger got some sick upgrades from the Gear! That is so interesting development.
    Note that most Reploids around look the same, those are mass produced, off the shelf Hunters. They send newbie to guard a dangerous Maverick.
    The fact that Kuwanger travels back to time using the Speed Gear isn't far-fetched as in the game the Speed Gear can slows down time (or speed it up, depends on who's perceptive.) The tech itself is ancient (20XX) but it is glitching, which means that it is probably damage and is unable to properly function as its intended function.
    Good job, and keep building up more Megaman X Lore!

      Really makes me wonder how much of a monster X will actually be shown to be in power in the future where he gets a chance to show up when considering how he single-handed defeated all of these once.​ @@DemNikoArt

      @@DontKnowDontCare6.9 Kuwanger can be hard if you approach the fight as you do with the rest of the Mavericks. Charging the Megabuster is actually a bad idea since you have only so many frames to hit him. Also, if you don't know his pattern is also hard to know when to jump down and hit him, especially since he can just stop where you land.
      Obviously his stage is harder if you don't have the boots. You should start on penguin.
      Finally, if you say it is an easy boss you should at least tell the strategy to beat him. To me, the easiest way to defeat him is to just stand in the center of the stage and shoot lemons. You only have to mash and worry to turn to the side you see him quickly. You'll sometimes will be sent to the roof, but that shouldn't happen if you are fast enough.

    You've done the little zippy bug proud. I love that you were able to get both Boomer's after image skill, aka super speed, along with his time dilation, aka teleportation. And him doing a time loop with himself to repair himself while also destroying the Hunters that have occupied his base? Great touch. Even threw Boomer's Ceiling Slam in there.
    Also, I love how you made the Hunter Reploids. Boomer carves through them with minimal difficulty, but they aren't useless. It really does emphasize the hierarchy of robots that existed at the time in the lore. The "market grade" Reploids, made for specific or general work. The "Hunter/Military grade" Reploids, made for keeping the peace in a world where most things can't stand to them. (In a world with even a basic Hunter model, good luck to the random mook trying to rob a convenience store.) But then there are the "Master grade" Reploids. Made with more autonomy, intellect, and tech to be special operations leaders. Then there's X and Zero. The models all other Reploids are derived from.
    This video really nailed the gulf in ability between those grades. As soon as there was a problem, every Hunter was notified, reacted calmly, and even tried to devise multiple angles to come at the threat. Problem was, it was handful of mice trying to fight a cat. Might get a bite in, maybe even draw a little blood, but the cat isn't going to lose.
    This was great! Can't wait to see who's next!
    Edit: OH! And the callback to the Mega Man 11 Speed Gear was a great inclusion too.

      Ooof a lot to unpack 😁
      Yeah I knew I needed to implement some of his moves. The horn slam was a must!!! 😆
      And thank you for complimenting my reploid ideas and how they behaved.
      I wanted to make them not just cannon fodder but actually have some strategies. So I created four variants with different tasks and skills. And they try but as you said, no chance at all 😁
      And this takes place after X1 so they fought him after being defeated and captured him to harness his powers and eventually fuse them with the speed gear.
      I needed some kind of item that would allow him to jump a minute backwards and late in the development I had the epiphany with the speed gear and how it was discovered after being lost for 100 years. It was the obvious choice 😊
      Thanks again for your comment. I love it when fans geek out about more than just the surface stuff 💙

    Absolutely amazing, this really does bring into perspective how insanely adaptive and strong Reploids, and by extension Mavericks. are. Base Megaman was able to hold up an entire tower for a couple minutes, it's crazy to think what X could achieve. Oh wait, I guess surviving a space colony crash would suffice as a great durability feat. Not to mention that most robots and Reploids were built with industrial-grade components so they are more akin to Armored Cores than they are normal robots.

      True. To hold a fight against these, he really must be a badass 😁
      I have some ideas how to portray him but it's still not fully developed. Thankfully I still have time until his episode which will be 9 😉

    This almost feels like what that cancelled MMX FPS game from Retro Studios could have been. Absolutely love this.

    As a huge fan of the X series (minus a few games...) these are pretty awesome. Little grittier tone than the series but damn do they look good. Keep up the love for X and maybe capcom will get their crap together and get us a good game and not just another poor collection release.

      No boomerang since this takes place after X1 so X has his boomerang 😉

    Love the choice to change the eyes as you’ve made these. I think putting mantis like eyes, where they’re slightly blurry over a series of hexagons would make him even scarier.

    This is an absolutely *incredible* animation. While I was watching I was just imagining how much work would have gone into this and also why Capcom hasn’t made some kind of animated series about the Mega Man X or Zero series. The potential is so much higher than for other videogame franchises and why they haven’t capitalised on it properly with a series of animated shows is beyond me. Maybe each episode of the hypothetical shows could focus on one Maverick at a time. It would be _really_ popular if done in a similar manner to this.
    I replayed X1 a few days ago and it reminded me how much I love the effects used for Boomer Kuwanger's teleportation in the game. You translated his teleport effect very well from the original source material, and I'm also impressed with the idea of him using the double gear system from Mega Man 11. It adds a new flavour to the character, and yet I can totally imagine him using a device like that if he was to find it.
    I noticed that you’ve said that the next Maverick is Flame Mammoth / Burnin' Noumander. I can imagine him reigniting his factory stage after his defeat. Maybe there could be a comical moment where he picks up and reattaches his trunk? 😆
    What are your plans for after you’ve completed the whole Maverick roster from X1? Are you thinking of taking a break after X1 is completed? Are you planning on making more of these animations for X2?
    I can just imagine Wire Sponge stitching himself back together with metal-reinforced vines after being cut in half by X's Overdrive Ostrich weapon in X2. Maybe the vines would be grown by the top half of Wire Sponge's bisected body after he’d use the last of his energy to reconnect to the weather control system and make it rain to provide water to the vines around him? That’s just my idea of what that could be like. Since Capcom isn’t interested in making more Mega Man X content for the moment, I always look forward to these animations.
    Well done with this one, outstanding work. 😁👍

      Oooof thank you very much for your message!!!
      I don't know where to begin 😁
      I definitely agree that capcom is sitting on a gold mine. And I would love a film or series to tackle all the untapped potential of the franchise.
      I guess it's a big risk so they first need to test the waters. But with secret levels coming soon we'll see how that one episode turns out and how the reception will be. With enough positive feedback this might be the reassurance for them to put some money into more mega man stuff.
      And my plans are to first finish all 8 Mavericks, then there will be probably 5 final episodes where all stories come together. And we will obviously see X and what he's been up to 😉
      But all of this will take maybe another 7-8 years if I keep my pace so after that there won't be any more mega man stuff I guess. I will be 50 then 😁
      I think that will be a good point to retire from this franchise knowing that I contributed a bit to the whole fandom.
