True, but I prefer the older forward and back walks for the same reason. Hes just being slid across the ground, like aba’s not even attempting to really lift or pull him
i love how despite her struggles to carry such a heavy object, you can see very clearly how she still tries to move him as carefully as she can. She holds the back of the handle to make sure hes supported when pushing back, gets visibly distraut and afraid when he threatens to topple over, and hoists him back up when he leans back. she cares so much about him and im really glad the animators were able to capture this kind of emotion in her :3
To me it looks like the key has a suit of some kind, the black part, it has a different lighting effect, it has a more glossy appearance, unlike the key which has more of a matte face, meaning: Paracelsius has a leather suit
@@Magnet_Chaos This is true unlike so many other instances, with maybe the funniest superfluous instance still being Zato-1's belt-blindfold since it's not like he can see even without it.
I love how it looks like she gained so much strength she moves forward easier snd she has to be careful in her dash to not make Paracelsus fall (As if in the past Paracelsus was so heavy for her that he wasn't losing his balance thanks to his weight, but now her strength is enough to make Paracelsus unbalanced by her movements and she has to catch him after a dash)
Yes, at first I thought that it looks like she had gotten weaker due to struggling to hold paracelsus upright, but now it's clear that she must be putting SO much force behind her shoves that she can nearly knock over something as heavy as he is, and it is a testament to her strength too that she can halt his forwards momentum and pull him back upright. Such a nice development on her character
I think he looks Heavier now but ABA looks stronger The lack of animation kind of makes him see almost cardboard Now with him actually gaining momentum in the dashes and stuff he looks more like what it feels to move a big ass piece of furniture
@@duvan-solisNuh uh, don't do it. You never stick it in crazy, no matter what. You're not fixing her, she's gonna break you. In two, or maybe more than that.
Seguramente, la verdad es algo curioso ver como A.b.a en juegos pasados en sus burlas le arañaba el "cuello" a Paracelsus y que ahora solamente le muerda la correa, como si se resistiera a hacerle algo XD
Ngl, i l love how she's so frantic when the key (which I'm assuming is her husband? Idk much about the game) is about to fall and she does what she can to make sure that doesn't happen Even though it's heavy as hell (from what it seems). :3
I also thought the same, but I don't think so. I say "I think" because they look more like strands of the same hair that Paracelsus has in his human form.
I think it's more so a shapeshifting adaptation from his real form where he has horns, but to look like a key for A.b.a he uses the horns to look more round, like a key shape.
@@Nick3gytf She's an artificial Homunculus with certain regenerative abilities among other things Don't quote me on this but I think its been implied a few times in the series that her Homunculus nature is the reason why she isn't just a mindless murder hobo like Paracelsus's previous wielders( He is a Demon after all?)
@@nidhogg8446 Saying artificial and homunculus in conjunction is redundant. Paracelsus is a Magical Foci (Like I-no and the Yokai Race from Isuka), although he is often referred to as a Demon Axe due to his history.
Both of abas and Paracelsus designs are really cool but I personally like the new one! Green hair suits her. Also don’t really like the old Paracelsus goat kinda form.
He actually still takes that Goat Form, just with a new spin. In "The Law is Key" while she is in Jealousy mode, the fleshy axe-hammer form is in a head shape with teeth, horns, and goat eyes.
He seems a lot heavier in the new animation, but that could just be bc of the style in the older one. Like how he just slides almost effortlessly against the ground, but in the new one you can see him bending.
Okay, so to explain quickly. ABA is a homunculus, Paracelsus/Flament Nagel is something called a Magical Foci (but he is often referred to as a "demon axe" due to his history). ABA was created in a place called Frasco, and was alone, locked in that manor for 10 Years. She collected keys during this time, her personal obsession. When she finally made her way out, she came across Nagel, lying in a field of ruination. Due to his resemblance of a key, she immediately fell in love with him, grabbed him, and started dragging him around everywhere to find him a body and renamed him Paracelsus (which is also the name of her creator). He protests this treatment, mostly due to the fact that ABA often went through peaceful cities, when Paracelsus wanted nothing more than to bathe in the bloodshed of a war torn battlefield. He would come to acknowledge her as his wielder, when she went and fought Slayer, someone he himself had fought before and told her she was no match for, all because she thought he would try to steal Paracelsus away from him. For six years, they would have this odd, manipulative relationship, until the events of Strive in 2187. Due to apparent issues with Paracelsus' health, ABA begins to believe her influence on him is like poison and is slowly killing him. She wants to separate, because she genuinely does love him so she's willing to sacrifice her own wants for his safety. Paracelsus, however, wants to stay together, albeit, he wants to work towards the two of them building a more stable and healthy relationship for the both of them. He goes so far as turning himself blue at the end of ABA's story mode in Strive, which is Aba's favorite color (her exact favorite is turquoise blue, claiming it is "a blue so clear one can peer into its depths". This is also the reason for her slightly blue tinted green hair in Strive, as she has gained an interest in fashion during her travels). TL;DR: Bio-Android falls in love with Key Shaped Demon Axe, they're both a bit crazy, but they're trying to better each other.
When you said you could fix her but now you're both broken and she has in her mind that her broken pieces and your broken pieces actually fit together so now you're both whole again.
The way she holds paracelsius makes her seem more possessive than the old ver, and shows how physical greed and care for an object over her own life deteriorates the body,
2024 movements show more care for the big giant afront to god, her basic walk looks like she's shielding it, she grabs the giant afront to god instead of dragging it with a chain leash, etc etc
I know the animations look better in the new one because not only is there better technology but there's a big difference between pixel and semi-3D but I like the older look for a lot of the characters a lot better
I really don't understand why they changed her design so much. She looks like a completely different person, even the vibes are different; it's basically a "Hpllywood is making a movie about this videogame" version of her older self.
Feel-wise, the old set makes Paracelsus seem more bottom-heavy or like his gravity well was less natural. In the newer set his weight feels more natural, and he's less rigid overall. This shows, not only in his frames, but how ABA manipulates him. (ei: dragging him by the chain at the top in the old, while he stays mostly upright)
Paracelsus looks a lot weightier now. The new animations seem to take into account his center of gravity more and definitely his inertia. Movement across the stage is also choppier for stuff like backwalk, which makes sense for how it's a quick shove/hop than a traditional walk with a smooth transition from A to B.
Yes, at first I thought that it looks like she had gotten weaker due to struggling to hold paracelsus upright, but now it's clear that she must be putting SO much force behind her shoves that she can nearly knock over something as heavy as he is, and it is a testament to her strength too that she can halt his forwards momentum and pull him back upright. Such a nice development on her character, purely shown through adding weight to the way she carries him and the way he bends. It's very clevers
i really like the added recoil on the backdash, it seriously sells how fucken heavy Paracelsus is
True, but I prefer the older forward and back walks for the same reason. Hes just being slid across the ground, like aba’s not even attempting to really lift or pull him
