Mavericks Episode 5 - Kuwanger (Mega Man X Fan-Film) // made in Blender
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- 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:

You know a starving fanbase is when loves comes to your way to support you and this magnificent work of art.😄
More are coming 😅 you deserve it and more
RUclips finally showed this to me after I saw last nigth a funny MM X series doc about it's dark plot.
@@geekthecat Ooooooh, was it "The Surprisingly TRAGIC Lore of Mega Man X Explained"? 😁
I saw that also a few days ago and it's soooo interesting. I didn't know half of it 😆
Also really cool that my video is showing up after that. Niiice!
Blown? Man! You blown our minds! This is so fckn damn epic! You, me, we all know that this is Rockman fans around the world wants. And we all wonder: why the hell the fckn animation studios with millions in budget don't make a Rockman movie as this quality?? WHYYY??
These animations do a good job of showcasing how powerful and terrifying the mavericks really are. It's no wonder mankind goes extinct.
Right? 😄 In their cartoony form you can forget that these are gigantic machines with crazy powers!
@@DemNikoArtCrazy powers such as;
-Creating localize Earthquakes
-Creating a Black Hole
-Generating Nuclear Fire
-Generating Absolute Zero
-Manipulate Reality
-Time stopping
-Create Clones endlessly
-Reincarnation
-etc
Yup, Reploids are nuts when they put their minds into it.
Well, to be fair, humanity didn't go entirely extinct until the year XXXX in mega man Legends. For the ZX series, they were able to get bionic upgrades and interface with technology, allowing them to engage in combat with most reploids.
But yeah, I agree. These reploids are basically walking nuclear arsenals.
Kuwanger makes a good horror movie monster tbh
In the Megaman X manga is stated that X Buster has power enough to destroy Japan in one shot...so yes, they are insane in power levels, I think in the end of X series Zero and X are Large planet level or Star level@@DemNikoArt
i love the implication that boomer kuwanger had transcended through speed gear's usage that he's essentially rescuing HIMSELF
an absolutely terrifying take for someone who was so eager to fight X
i'm excited to see how flame mammoth, armored armadillo and chill penguin will go in these next episodes, that amount of talent is genuinely beyond for an animator
I just hope after the 8 we get to see Vile and Sigma
We got to a point in life where fan made films are BETTER than Hollywood movies. This was A MASTER PIECE!
Thank you very much!!! That's too much of a compliment 😀
💯
Stole my words, amazing
@@DemNikoArt But it's the truth I gotta say.
Keep up the good work and don't lose your soul and become soulless like Hollywood.
@@nightggg Never!!!
Unless they pull up with a dump truck full of money, then maybe I'll reconsider 😜
I actually love your depiction of the normal reploids with their uncanny valley faces. It kinda serves as a reminder that these are not humans despite their human-like characteristics.
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.
@@cheahyuanhong Also X, Zero, and (formerly) Sigma are Maverick Hunters
They're not human, and yet they're able to feel... however, they don't feel the world as humans do.
@@cheahyuanhong I imagine X with an asiatic face with a friendly smile, no uncanny valley feeling, more like a warm feeling
The appearance of the reploids leaves me with some questions, what will X and Zero look like? If I remember correctly, they were created long before the rest of the reploids, and what was the appearance of Mega Man in his time? I mean, if the reploids looked expressionless and even uncanny, I am curious about the appearance of the classic Mega, Bass, X and Zero.
You showed off how truly dangerous Kuwanger can be with his speed based ability. Well done.
Right? This is a huge super power. But I think he can only use it temporarily otherwise nobody could challenge him. I actually added a bar that slowly goes down on his back and arm 😉
So he needs to recharge now and then.
I wanna see a megaman x movie now.
This stuff would genuanly be cool to see on the big screen
Makes me wonder what X is like in this universe if he was able to beat Kuwanger an the others?
@@zombinathenecro8035 canonically X needed power ups and a maverick part weapon to beat Kuwanger
@@rcarfang2the thing with X is his learning potential, the fact that he has free will and his ability to copy enemies abilities. He has unlimited upgrade capabilities, the fact that he starts off weak but then something deep inside him awakens and unlocks his full potential is scary. Zero is similar but has an innate tendency towards violence that was curved thru damage. But from what I know is that X could never be truly replicated.
God it is the most satisfying thing hearing the OG teleport sound again.
AND ALL DONE IN ONE TAKE WHAT A MADLAD.
Hahaha thank you!
And yes, glad you noticed it 😁
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!
You got everything perfectly right!!! 🫶
Glad that it's understandable 🙂
time travel? no, hes just fast
@@KnightedSilverWolf In general yes, he's just fast. But with the speed gear boosting his abilities, he gained the power of jumping a minute back in time. Just once.
I know there is no precedent for this. It's just my fan-fic 😁
@@DemNikoArt cool, My fanfic Will hace some crazy stuff...and some disturbing and gory (robot gore lol)
@@DemNikoArtI love it.
Sick seeing the Speed Gear become relevant in the X games, especially causing time travel shenanigans. Also I love the fact that Kuwanger does the Deadlift grab that made me particularly happy.
That had to be in there 😁
The series of animations you've made like these already were an incredible love letter to the game, but the fact you went your way to add that attack was not only more proof of that, but also showing how brutal that attack (and Kuwanger) actually looks like in a more fleshed out environment.
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
I like how effortlessly Kuwanger tosses the reploid, yet at the same time how hard the reploid smashes into the ceiling. Really emphasizes how strong Kuwanger is.
I just fell into a time-loop. Rewatching...
Hahaha I was hoping for one or two re-watches 😁
Enjoy!
Well...his nickname is Space-Time Jumper so..... :3
I was thinking, oh yeah, the mavericks are crazy. Be even more afraid.
It's just an endless paradox

I'm saddened I have only found your channel now and that these animations have not garnered views in the millions, the dedication and attention to detail in every single one is unheard of. I'm sure most companies wish they could put out the sheer quality and heart that you do. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a lot. The main thing is that you found me at all 😉
The inclusion of the speed gear was such a nice touch
And as a certified sucker for speedster stuff this made me so giddy
Uuuuh nice, glad you liked it!
I wasn't sure about it but it just made sense to me 😊
0:48 security camera, the peak of the "intruder". I love it.
Yes!!!!! Glad it was noticed 🤩
I saw it, too, but it took me like 3 repetitions to realize who it was. :>
Certainly, Boomer Kuwanager begins to interrupts them...
Growing up, Boomer here was one of those Irregulars that I could never beat without the Homing Missile. He was too fast and unpredictable to me.
For a brief span of time, I felt like I was seeing the *real* Boomer Kuwanger in action. The genuine dread he used to give me. What a masterpiece. Absolute chills!
Are you kidding? He was one of the easiest even with just the X-Buster. I start with him coz i get a lot upgrades early.
The only trade off was his stage was one of the most difficult of the 8 bosses.
@@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.
the guy who made this work of art basically humiliated capcom and netflix.
Lol he didn't humiliate anyone.
Yea he solo'd them
Didn't expect to see action! Kuwanger moping the floor with those guys was wonderful to watch.
Haha glad you liked it. Yeah I thought after the more taim episodes before I needed to get some action going on here 😆
He really gives off the vibes of being made for war , which is very fetting given he was once a Maverick Hunter, and we least know Sigma was made purely to hunt Mavericks , plus Vile is hinted as much. Very nicely done and all around good job.
dude capcom should just contract you into making a full feature tv series about megaman....the ambience is just perfecttt......
Thanks! Yeah that would be amazing. But so far no call 🤷
Fuck that. Get this guy on for X9
They haven't made a Megaman Man X game in a long time. Imagine the potential in 2024! It doesn't need to be a side scroller (Just for this one), it could be as epic as DMC game.
@@Ratio429 I wonder if combining this guys style and look to a Megaman X gameplay style similar to say Metroid Prime in control scheme (If done from a first person perspective) I would worry if they attempted a 3rd person X game again, though Legends series I feel did do a good job, but at the same time, the X series is known for more speed, so might be a tad more challenging to translate into a 3D 3rd person space.
I just feel like it could be cool for like X1 game done entirely in this style could be super awesome, even if say a movie of sorts. Granted, the timing to make would be astronomical I am sure.
@@megamanrulesall Yeah I agree. Fast paced battles can be fitting in a 3D setting but I'm not sure how it will look like for a first person perspective. Then again, I remember games like Ultrakill and Mullet Mad Jack. Those were very fast paced but they are separate games.
Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't done a FPP game for Megaman. It does go excellent with this guy's style. They are perfect for each other.
Damn! This is fantastic! I have always been kind of a fundamentalist in regards to everything Megaman should be 2D, BUT, if they ever make a 3D Megaman X game again, this is the way to go. Capcom, hire this guy!
This is just mind-blowing. Your skills are improving exponentially on each new video! Absolutely incredible work! So Boomer Kuwanger, an already super fast Reploid gets enhanced by the Speed Gear and becomes so fast that he basically bends time? Amazing. Simply amazing.
You got it 😉
Kuwanger looking scary good in this. He is not something I would want to come across, ever lol. Love the realistic look you gave this scene! its incredible.
Thanks. That's good to know! 😊
Me neither
Holy shit, bro.
This wasn't just a "showcase" of how cool a Maverick you can make -- this shit was a freaking MOVIE!!
Seriously, these are continuing to get so much better each time, I freaking can't WAIT to see what comes next!!!
Thanks a lot!
Yeah these are meant to be proper films not just showcases 😁
And thanks, it's really cool to hear that I'm improving 😀
There will be more episodes in the future for sure. I just need a short break from that project 😅
I am blown away! I just now found these gems. To find out that episode 1 came out 3 years ago, and this episode came out 2 weeks ago...this is such an amazing project! This kind of passion, this kind of creativity, I love it! I grew up with Mega Man, but Mega Man X was more of my speed. Keep up the amazing work! Definitely subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks a lot for the support 😀
And yeah, you just need the right passion for something. Then it'll last for years 😉
I just LOVE how you manage to bring realism to a cartoonish game without sacrificing the cartoonish look that's become so iconic. Hope you eventually get to all of them. I've been picturing since the Spark Mandrill one, Flame Mammoth reigniting the fires in his frozen factory.
OH that'd be so epic to see.
A hard one though is gonna be Armored Armadillo, gonna be interesting to see what happens there.
What's gonna be even more interesting, down the road of time I mean, what happens when the maverick's all meet back up, do they go after X again, or something else~?
That's the most difficult part. Finding a good balance between original design and realism. Glad it worked for you 🙂
I will definitely do all of them 😉
Flame Mammoth will be next and what's gonna happen is mostly fixed but I'm still Finetuning the story
I have a pretty good story for Armadillo. I'm sure people will like it. With some emotional beats and some action.
What happens after that is still in development but I have a base concept but I can't reveal anything yet 😉
@@DemNikoArt and idea for the Armadillo. Using a literal Plasma Shield. Where segments open up and it forms the energy shield in addition to his already armored body. The military is actually trying to make "hot Plasma Shields" literally. They already use cold plasma for some things. Also to keep with cannon of the character. The "Blue/transparent" would indicate that it's on the hotest side of the EMF burning scale.
@@DemNikoArt I can't wait for Armadillo! That's honestly the one I'm probably looking forward to most.
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.
Thank you very much!!!
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 💙
Freaking amazing! To think that X managed to defeat Kuwanger is crazy. Incredible interpretation of the character
He somehow did it. With the right weapon of course. But he's also a badass so no wonder. And thank you 😊
I came here to say the same thing. All the mavericks are terrifying in this light. To think X defeated them all (twice) is astounding. Can’t wait to see Vile or Sigma.
That's was really cool, kuwanger basically turned into reverse flash with this kind of power up, awesome work
Someone needs to get Capcom to get this man a damn series order, already!
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.
The last time I fought this dude it was in a challenge mode from Megaman X Dive Offline... And he kicked my ass the same way he is beating every body in this movie. I'm a bit pity about those poor guys, I know how it feels.
You did a really great job DemNikoArt!
Thanks a lot!!!
Yeah they seem like nice guys. And they're just doing their job. But sou gotta prepare better for a guy like this 😁
I can't wait to see zero and x's design, also sigma's one (if they are going to appear)
Well X will definitely come.
Zero and sigma, we'll see. Story after episode 8 is still in development 😉
@@DemNikoArt BRO IS ALREADY COOKING THE NEXT 3 EPISODES???? DAMM
@@KperaOfficial already the next 8 😉
That's at least the current plan. 8 mavericks and 5 final episodes. Well See in the coming years how it goes 😶
Maybe consider one for Vile.
@@DemNikoArt awesome
This is HUGE! This is so beautiful, so perfect in too many aspects, i had goosebumps watching this episode! Thank you, thank you so much, you made an old man felt like a child again!
💙💙💙
That was my main goal! From an old man to another, thank you! 👴
I just discovered this series and am blown away by how it gets better and better each episode.
Thanks a lot!
Happy to hear that! It's not always visible for me and after working on something for months you lose the objective look on things so it's always great to read that reassurance 🙂
Simply amazing. Makes you realize how dangerous mavericks can really be, even more when you add a mechanism like the Double Gear..
Right? They're already 2-3 meter tall machines with crazy powers. 🫨
@CAPCOM have you not seen this!?! The man is doing the work for you!! Give him monies so we can get a full feature show out movie like yesterday!
Yes capcom, seriously!!! 😄
The fact that Kawanger was capable of all this and managed to look absolutely terrifying as a villain, i cant help but wonder just how much trouble X must've had defeating this guy in the first place. Great stuff, man!!!
That fight was probably pretty tough for sure!!! But I imagine kuwangers abilities are limited and have a cool down. So he's not super OP... I guess. At least not in my fan-fic
Then this shows how freaking powerful X was. Huh, no wonder Biometal users could be interpreted as a new branch of evolution with all these crazy abilities that X, Zero and the Guardians have.
This is AMAZING and needs to be a full Mega Man X series!
Bro this is AMAZING! I'm so glad RUclips recommended you to me. Megaman X is my all time favorite game still. I remember getting it for Christmas as a kid and I beat it so many times.
I love the wild time travel speed gear trick you set up. Very unique and I feel really plays into the lore. Definitely looking forward to more of your work
Thanks man!!! 😃
I got a SNES for Christmas back then and one of my first games was X1. So I know that feeling 😁
I simply can't get enough of this. The attention to detail is phenomenal. You have some incredible talent and bring life back into my favorite childhood game that has been shelved for too long. Every time you post i get thrilled and the nostalgia vibes are at their max. If ever I've considered joining a Patreon to support someone's work, then it is yours. Please keep making these. They just get better and better. THANK YOU and your team! i cannot wait for the next installment. Time to get SERIOUS!
Aw man, thank you so much!!!
That's one of the main reasons I am making this, for the fans of a forgotten series.
We need to have something! :D
And thank you for considering joining my Patreon. It is truly the best way to support me!
And just like that, I'm a kid again. Truly amazing, looking forward to more!
I have no idea how I got here, but I am never going away.
As a big Mega Man X fan, this blow my mind. This shows that there is something that movie and/or game studios can not buy: Love and passion for a proyect, and this have tons of both.
Greatings from México
Muchas Gracias ✌️
Excellent work, bro. You've outdone yourself again.
Thanks man! 💙
Actually terrifying, this one definitely makes him look like a horror villain
That was kinda my goal. Glad it worked 😊
In some way, it reminds me of SOMA.
The fact they’re basically walking weapons was scary already lol
It's a Bootstrap Paradox!
Man, this series you're making is dope! Absolutly amazing! Fantastic work!!!
Yes exactly!!! Thanks for noticing! 😃
And thank you! 💙
Like a boomerang, it all comes back to the start
Whooooooaaahhh.. I actually didn't think of that (seriously that wasn't my intention at all) 😆😆😆
You gave the whole thing another dimension! 😱
Yes!
I just discovered this series and I wanna say you absolutely crushed it with the designs. I really love that you didn't sacrifice the anime aesthetics of the Mavericks' designs for the sake of hyper-realism. After all, the beauty of animation is we can have the best of both worlds.
Can subscribe to everything you said!!! 💯💪
This is a masterpiece. The fact that you did all of this on your own is mindblowing !!
Hehe thank you!!!
Yeah it was a lot of work, but it never stopped being fun! 💙
This was ridiculously good. God tier skills! Great work.
Love it. Hope to see Vile in the future.
Maaaaybeeeeee 😶🌫️
This is so cool to see the reploids and how Kuwanger Boomerang comes back. I can't wait to see X and Zero one day.
If you have patience, you'll see them eventually 😉
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
Hell, yeah!!! Love your work man, now every time I play maverick hunter x I mix it up with your maverick shorts, it helps flesh out the story and it feel really cool, gives it this sense of grounded reality, and as a plus it's only one of the best if not the best cg work one can find nowadays, and your artistic eye for direction it's just perfectly amazing, thanks for sharing man.
This was freakin AWESOME from the very start but the horn toss def was the chef's kiss for me 👌🔥
Haha niiiiice! I was hoping people would like that 😃
@@DemNikoArt so i guess the question now is who's next? I believe all we are missing is Armored Armadillo, Chill Penguin, and Flame Mammoth
@@jtripper89 Exactly. Mammoth will be next, then penguin and armadillo last.
This is literally one of the sickest videos I’ve ever seen!! I love how there are nods to his moves in his boss fight as well!! INSTANT subscribe and reposting!!! 😃❤️
Thank you very much 😀👏
The word that best describes this is "Spectacular". Everything was so expertly done. Lot of love and effort put into it and it shows.
Megaman X and Super Metroid were the first two games I ever bought ~30 years ago from my summer job. I never thought that I'd see the original Mavericks this way and IT'S TERRIFINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the impressive work, and I'm honestly scared of what you're planning on doing with X1 Sigma when/if the time comes!
Hehe then you're the perfect demographic for this. It's very similar for me 😃
And X will come in episode 9.
If sigma will show up, is still up to Debate. I'm still developing the story
3:15 HE DID THE THING!
Fr man your work is amazing!
Yes he did!!! 😆
Thanks man, I appreciate it! 💙
Why Capcom isn't giving you all the money and resources at their disposal to make this into a series is beyond me
Agree 💯 🤔
I love the Tenet / time loop vibe. Kuwanger def a bad ass here. Makes it seem like this is an alternate reality incursion with multiple robot masters coming in ala MCU. Regardless where you take this, it looks amazing!!
It's definitely an alternative story. Basically my fanfic 😁
I already added the speed gear so who knows what will happen in the future 😆
I just stumbled onto this series and it is actually insane to see how much you have improved with each entry. The creativity in this one is off the charts. I can't wait to see what else you put out.
Thanks a lot!
It's always very reassuring to read that I improved. Sometimes it's hard to see my own improvement. After a while you get this Tunnel view and it's hard to see your own work from an outside perspective.
Yeah okay bro. Gotta say I'm lucky to have been born into the same century as you, cause this is a masterpiece
Hahahaha now that's a compliment! 😄
Wow...normally I dislike anyone's art or CGI and very picky with how things are delivered but sir, you exceeded my expectations. More people need to see this. Keep making them its candy for my brain. Better than PIXAR can dish out these days. You killed it.
Thanks! I feel honoured.
And... you dislike EVERYONE'S art? What? 😄
Reploids falling apart because they were taken apart at impossible speeds will always be a flex.
Wow man the quality in lighting, sound, animation, models, camera work, effects, depth of field…top notch…better than what’s in theaters
Hahaha thank you!
This video is why I even pay internet.
Hahaha 😂
OMG the wobbly distortion physics are 🔥. That iconic nod to his head pincer grab too 😩🤌. Amazing stuff!
Wooooooow. The Megaman fans are showing OUT. First Megaman X8 16Bit and now THIS.
Damn those hunters...
Now I'm kinda excited (and terrified) to see X
You have a gift for bringing out the emotion or, lack there of in Kuwanger's case, of your characters. The shock and dismay on the reploids faces as Kuwanger tears them apart feels genuine with out coming off as out of place or stilted. Kuwanger's cold dead glare gives me chills I love it.
Oh man thank You!!!
This was the first time for me to animate faces so I was very unsure about the outcome. Glad it worked 😀😀😀
IT'S ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🙌🙌
The sheer amount of environmental storytelling makes this a joy to rewatch several times. This goes for the other episodes as well
Hehe thank you! Yeah since nobody is speaking, I needed to get creative and tell as much as possible with just actions and the environment. Glad it worked 😊
Dear God... Those fools who tried to reboot X could never have hoped to achieve this level of badassery.
You mean the exRetro employees under the guidance of Keiji Inafune? Yeah Keiji Inafune is useless without the Capcom staff.
Wait, those were Retro employees?? Damn, that kind of makes sense
Men i just dont get it this man right here ist too fu%&·ing Awesome!!! dude this is for a movie for fans!! its too goood tooo much, its hurts that its so damn good this is!
Dude, this was really awesome. Keep going, I wanna see all of them.
Thanks! Then I guess I have to do it 😉
It's just stunning!
May I say what's in everyone's mind?
We want to see X and Zero in your style
Hahaha thank you!
I heard that a few times already. And X will definitely come, no worries 😉
With zero I still need to see how he would be fit into that story. But I try 😊
The leap you made from your previous work to this one; I went from impressed to astounded! You are a maestro!
Thank you! That's great to hear! 😀
Megaman will see this dude and still go: Yeah, lemons will cut it.
Hahaha 😂
Absolute perfection.
You've nailed the very embodiment of Kuwanger in a modern and mature form.
Terror encased in titanium! The literal SPEED DEMON!
I AM KICKING AND SCREAMING RIGHT NOW
IT'S SO GOOD
Incredible. Love that you also capture the intense violence that was in the x 4 cutscenes showing off how gritty the MegaMan x universe really is at times.
О да! Тут простой похвалы маловато. Видео очень классное, однозначно стоит использовать его как визитную карточку, чтобы зацепить Капком на финансирование твоего сериала или по крайней мере, чтобы они обратили внимание на франшизу Мегамена.
Есть вопросик по поводу происходящего, а именно как так выходит, что скорость этого жука настолько велика что тот через время проскочил в обратное направление или как? Не понимаю просто.
Отдельно лайк тебе за постанову екшн сцен и освещение.
Вы все правильно поняли. Он поглотил немного энергии из скоростного снаряжения, и в сочетании с его скоростными способностями это дало ему временную возможность вернуться на 1 минуту назад во времени.
Love your take on the regular reploids. While I do like how reploids could appear like regular humans, your version feels more in line with them being mechanical lifeforms replicating the human form while still expressive enough to understand the shock and horror they must have felt at Kuwanger's escape.
That was exactly my thought process 😁
Armored Armadillo will be sick
It already exists 😉
Check out episode 4!
@@DemNikoArt i'm sorry i write wrong
That was awesome 👏 can’t wait to see what Vile would look like.
I never said I'll create him 😉
I need to find a good story for him to fit in first. But since he's one of the most requested characters, I guess I have no choice 😉
This is insane! The thriller genre vibes, almost a little bit horror, the pacing and music tie it together perfectly, the visuals are out of this world, I can't even do justice in describing how perfectly you nailed this!
I love the time loop paradox (it can't happen unless it happens!) it fits perfectly with Kuwanger! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Wow you really made my day! That brings so much joy reading comments like that 🤩
And yes, I love the paradox aspect as well. It was super intriguing to me to do something like that.
This is absolutely incredible work. The way you captured the intensity of his high speed teleport as well as his famous Dead Lift move is pure art. There's a reason Kuwanger is called the Blade Demon of Space and Time in Japan, and you honored his moniker perfectly.
I like how most of these shorts shown the aftermath from the fight with X. Granted these Mavericks look intimidating and powerful. But it also make X seem scarier. I'd love to see how X is portrayed and how his abilities are utilized. As a huge fan of MM these are amazing to see
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.
No way. This is 100 times better then what they would have come up with. This guy puts a lot of heart into it.
RETRO STUDIOS PLANNED A MMX VIDEOGAME????
@@AzumarillConGafasBv Yes, it was an FPS. There’s test footage of it on YT. Had some interesting ideas but it was scrapped early in development.
The visual effects are insane! Kuwanger is really menacing. Amazing job really! Awesome time loop
I just discovered your channel a few minutes ago, and I must say... this is absolutely glorious!
Just got back into lore diving for the Mega Man X series, and seeing quality like this makes me happy.
That's amazing! Glad you found me!
When starting with this project and also getting more familiar with the lore, I got really excited as there is so much potential 😃
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.
I can safely say that this has been the best episode of this fan series to date.
Thanks a lot!!! I try 🤓
Boomer Kuwanger animation but no boomerangs?? EXCELLENT animation I have watched your previous videos an they're a work of art
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 some really impressive work!
It's so refreshing to see actual human-made cg animation in the era of LLM AI nonsense. Looked great!
My work over AI generated? That's a compliment of the highest order 😆
Your work is magnificent, please continue. Many fans here in Brazil will love it. I will share your work with the best channels focused on Megaman. Much Success
Awesome!!! Muito obrigado! 💚💛
I have heard that south America has a huge mega man community. I recently even joined two Latin American Facebook groups 😁
It is so awesome to see that there is this huge fan base in your country.
And yes I will definitely make more. I have many ideas!
Thank you for sharing my work. I really appreciate it 🫶
dude that was sick, amazing job
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.
YT finally did it's job, thanks for recommending this to me, and great animation btw
Yes! Finally RUclips! 😁
And thank you! ✌️
