A lot of the progression of this video was streamed here, i will probably keep streaming the progress on more future works as i go. [CREDIT'S FOR MODELS, PARTICIPANTS IN THE VIDEO ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION.]
I am as late to this comment section as I was to this battle!!! I know it's been said a hundred times but you are severely underrated, the fluidity of your animation is unrivaled!!
Steaky and I have known each other for around 5 years and made together like 9 videos. Over time he became the best SFMer - movement-wise - and I'm incredibly proud of him. Show him endless support.
I mean, the shoot style thing matches up. He runs faster than all the mercs, even with ammo and stuff on him, and an infinite amount of baseballs, so his legs have GOT to be strong.
You really went above and beyond with the animation on this one! It's simply amazing. If I were to give constructive criticism however, I think certain things in the overall video quality are bit lacking. Those would be audio design and special effects. Maybe spend more time on those areas in future projects. Overall, great job! Looking forward to seeing more from Steaky!
"A real Australian... Never backs down from a fight!" Yeah, no kidding, living in a land famous for its deadly critter memes, a fight with a yeti would be an average Tuesday for an Australian
I love how unlike other extremely powerful fictional characters, Saxton Hale gets his power simply from being incredibly masculine and, of course, Australian.
There are so many animations parodying this scene, but I think this one, this one here is one of my favorites. Your streams all leading to this final masterpiece was great. And I still wonder why you haven’t gotten more subscribers with this much quality of animation… You are the supreme steak of the steakhouse.
Story: The Merc are training to become stronger, but then there was a sudden attack by Gray Mann and not only did he bring in more stronger robots, he also revived the extinct Yeti and enhanced it with Australium. When many of the Mercs realized that they can't win, they try to find phone to contact Saxton. When they do actually call him, he, at first, refused to fight because the Mercs are supposed to do the fighting for him. But then the Mercs mention the super Yeti and he immediately showed up.
Damn Steaky this is a really ambitious project! Did not expect all the custom audio and writing! That said, I'm a big fan of Jojo/Fist of North Star style punch-rush sequences (especially about reproducing them in 3D) and have some things to comment on about your recreation of it (from 0:56 to 1:45). Cloning a bunch of 3D arms and having them punch independently of each character they belong to was definitely a great start, but I feel you were lacking the power and intensity of the punch rush sequence, especially when it's so drawn out. To improve on what you have, you'd probably want to have Hale and the Yeti rotate their upper body further with varying angles to show the weight of each punch while also varying the punch angles and movements of their separated floating arm rigs. Ideally, some arm rigs would start from above and slightly behind the characters to punch down inwards and others would start from below to punch up inwards. You do some rotating of their torsos but it's a bit too small to really sell the power. The movements of the separated arms also feel a bit static (some of the arms also don't make sense in their position and angle). Lastly, I get the impression that you intentionally turned down the camera shake for clarity, but I think it would have helped to sell the effect, especially right at the start of the sequence. Some motion blur for post-processing would have helped as well (though I don't know how easy it would have been to apply that in SFM or in your video editor if you even could have). I didn't watch your stream so I don't know if you referenced other media, but using the BNHA All-Might vs Nomu fight exclusively as your source material for the punch-rush sequence might have been detrimental just because the way they animated it doesn't give a lot of ideas about how to reproduce it in 3D. I would have recommended checking out games like Jojo All-Star Battle to see some really good 3D punch rushes. Otherwise, there was clearly a lot of effort put into this project and I can understand if you didn't want to spend too much time on this one sequence (especially with how abstract these sequences are) to ensure that the rest of the fight motions are top-notch. And to that, I'd say you did a damn great job!
True now that i look back to it. Could've used more rotation on the spine bone's on the side shot's. I don't want this to sound like an excuse but i animated the project in 24 frames but rendered in 30 so the arms don't look exactly the same as in the 24 frame version feelsbadman. They were blocking the upperbody quite a bit, you couldn't had really seen it. Thanks for taking your time to type the critisism man, i appreciate it :D
This is some cartoon level smooth animation. Plus, the fact you used actual sound effects and voice clips, not just slapped BNA stuff on it, and used them so effectively really speaks volumes about the talent put into this.
I can't believe all of these livestreams came up to this! And this is amazing!! I loved watching the process of this animation to the end of it's making! You did a lot of work on this and it's really entertaining!
Got goosebumps when Saxton shouted his name again:) Saxton Hale might have his own comics, but he still sure is an underated character. Your animations are fantastic:) we need more Tf2 content with Saxton Hale in it!
In all my years of watching and using sfm, i have never seen animation this fluid in my entire life. 4 minutes of absolute satisfaction! GG Steaky, gg 👌
This is really good and fluid as hell, a year later we get a official vsh gamemode. (Btw the fast punches could be hidden with some effects, the hands appearing out of nowhere look really silly lol)
Bruh everything about this video screams "WORK, EFFORT, TALENT 1000". Also, nice lazypurple cameo lol. You are good son, real good, maybe even the best
How... in a 2 decade year old software, make something so awesome! Please tell us your methods of making everything actually look like they have weight behind them!
Okay, I love how the lines weren't straight copied from My Hero Academia, the lines, sound effects, and plot are all TF2 themed, even if the sequence is entirely MHA.
After watching this through the first time I opened up "You Say Run" in a new tab and synced it up to fit over the animation. Best decision I ever made.
As soon as I clicked on this video and saw the scenery I immediately knew it was kelp dome lmao but nonetheless very nice place for this though! Keep up the good work man! ❤
THIS WAS UPLOADED 2 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY HAS UNDER 80,000 VIEWS? This is the one of the best uses of SFM I’ve ever seen, the movement is so fluid and expressive, absolutely phenomenal job

I really want a video of the remix of you say run used in the video, it was pretty good.
My man co academy
so thats what he was doing in those 9hrs+

Hi
Im very late too
I know gray man was supposed to be shigaraki and the medic bot was kuragiri who were you
MEEEEDIC!!!!
Seeing you in this comment section is like seeing my teacher at the grocery store

Wow, 5 years

*Wipes tear* It's beautiful... And I'm not even Australian and I feel proud.
Real austrailan justice
We never back down from a fight.
This implies Scout will be stronger than Saxton someday

Also he can do a home run using a Merc body instead of a base ball.

Okay, this is epic
Plus Ultra!
В старые времена Сакстону Хейлу потребовалось всего 3 удара что бы уничтожить Йети... Сейчас же ему потребовалось больше трех сотен
Hi
Yeah, audio is the most lacking part of the video. It's not bad but it doesn't match the quality of the animation.
"A real Australian... Never backs down from a fight!" Yeah, no kidding, living in a land famous for its deadly critter memes, a fight with a yeti would be an average Tuesday for an Australian
Especially one hyped up on Australium
I did not expect an original script, you truly went beyond with this animation
Plus ultra
I love how unlike other extremely powerful fictional characters, Saxton Hale gets his power simply from being incredibly masculine and, of course, Australian.
Ironically enough, this is actually _underselling_ Saxton's power. A yeti punch to the side wouldn't even make him flinch.
FOR THE CINEMATICS 🗣️🔥
Saxton solos fiction. Change my mind.
@@영환김-f9x saxton gets mid diffed by mercenaries
@@teqhchaserIt was a joke :( (also i honestly love his overpowered boss character so pls just let it slide)
@@teqhchaser Yeah and the Mercs also solo fiction.

You are the supreme steak of the steakhouse.
Now I am curious as to what scene it is parodying
@@TheTiredNaiad all might vs nomu
And Yeti is the Bloomin’ Onion.
As an Australian I can confirm that this is the reason we don't have Yetis in Australia
"A real Australian never runs away from a fight"
A quote of a real warrior who is still to his nation.
That G. Man was sneaky. I love that kind of easter eggs in animations
Story: The Merc are training to become stronger, but then there was a sudden attack by Gray Mann and not only did he bring in more stronger robots, he also revived the extinct Yeti and enhanced it with Australium.

Watching you becoming better and better at animation throughout the years has been a pleasure. Literal blessing for my eyes.
That Yeti must have Australium in its veins to actually damage Saxton Hale
Yes
That was fantastic. You really outdid yourself - one of the best fully body animators out there!!
Thank you. Means quite a bit coming from someone who's made it into the industry :D
@@Steaky very well deserved! I can see a ton of work went into this! Really well done!
It was fun to see the making of this in the live streams and feels really good to finally see it completed and its full glory
I dunno why but i like the thought of hale being a mentor of sorts for scout its kinda funny yet inspiring

WE NEED TO SHARE THIS! THIS IS AN ACTUAL MASTERPIECE!
*This is just what happens when an average Aussie meets a kangaroo in the wild*
The scariest thing you can hear in vsh: "Saxton punch ready!"
I can't believe all of these livestreams came up to this! And this is amazing!! I loved watching the process of this animation to the end of it's making! You did a lot of work on this and it's really entertaining!
Thank you so much for checking out the streams and the outcome. I appreciate you for being here :D
Got goosebumps when Saxton shouted his name again:) Saxton Hale might have his own comics, but he still sure is an underated character. Your animations are fantastic:) we need more Tf2 content with Saxton Hale in it!

2:57 you thought I couldn’t see gman? Think again, my sharingan sees everything
I love the fact that you're using Kelp Dome as the map. I didn't even know the map was ported to SFM
I love how much how broke the models to achieve that anime like style, love u
I can believe that an average Australian can 1v1 a yeti. Have you SEEN THEIR SPIDERS?
That was incredible. The animation was smooth and fluid. Definitely one of your best works.
baby scout as mineta hahaha i dying here
great work steaky
If all might was nearly as strong as Saxton there wouldn’t have been any crime.
Absolute masterpiece, that fight didn't feel like only 3 minutes
Holy shit seeing that scene in MHA in 3D was good enough, this is amazing.
Idk why this video didn't show up but I love it there are a lot of referneces and the animation is sooo clearand sooo goood it's perfects
the entire punchout saxton was just building damage numbers so he'd get more random crits each punch
Never thought I would see an Australian and a Canadian fight
I love how scouts hat flies off but soldiers doesn't, despite how loose it is.
I keep saying this before, but why the hell aren't you as popular as the guys of Lazy Purple or Winglet, you deserve that kind of recognition.
This is really good and fluid as hell, a year later we get a official vsh gamemode.
(Btw the fast punches could be hidden with some effects, the hands appearing out of nowhere look really silly lol)
We all know Saxton didn’t try he just wanted a cool looking fight
i just realized his chest hair is in the shape of australia
I just imagine this being the end of the next comic.
Very good animation!
That final punch is when Saxton punched just a little harder
Why did this make my spine tingle in the best way
Holy Shit, this was AWESOME! How did I not see this before!? The movements, the rendering, and Saxton's voice acting was mind-blowing!
I demand that this becomes an official series.
The whole thing is on Hulu
You made me cry
This is truly beautiful
I dont even know how it took me a year to find this
The movement is buttery smooth, the expressions are incredible, and OH MY GOD IS THAT LAZY PURPLE
Where
I’m glad this video is gaining heat again because of the Summer update!
This is exactly how it happened in universe and you cant convince me otherwise
I can't believe how good this is, its one of the best sfm animations of all time.
I just love those RC when Saxton is punching the goddamn yeti. TOP TIER VIDEO!!!
This is some next level choreograph here
A yes, a dopamime fueled SFM animation that i will probably show to my entire bloodline and watch until my cold dead body is 7m underground
This aged very well considering VSH added in the summer update huh? There should be a submode where yeti fights Saxon tho
He’s everywhere, he’s in my nightmares now
Kelp dome fits surprisingly well in tf2.
My guy, I am proud to see how far you've come. You definitely became an elite animator, this is some next level animation!
*cocks gun*
Now gib part 2.
My favorite part of this is that the mercs display more human emotion than any character in the anime.
Why is your sfm fight unironically the coolest shit ever?
“Warning: includes Australia”
Mercs Quirks:
Scout: Super speed
Spy: invisibility
Soldier: rocket man
Sniper: Deadeye
Medic: multiple regeneration
Pyro: pyromancer
Heavy: super strength/ defense
Engineer: quick build
Demoman: remote detonate
I just realized Saxton Hale looks like Freddie Mercury without his hat.
10/10 inner monologue from Scout
I can only hope we can make this a reality by including the Yeti in the Versus Saxton Hale game mode
Bruh everything about this video screams "WORK, EFFORT, TALENT 1000". Also, nice lazypurple cameo lol. You are good son, real good, maybe even the best
Victory dance!
Amazing work, there are so many parts that made me super happy!
This is next level as scout said I’m at a loss for words
How... in a 2 decade year old software, make something so awesome! Please tell us your methods of making everything actually look like they have weight behind them!
Sure would be awkward to show up at Kelp Dome for a turf war and discover the last mammalians actively making each other more extinct
Love to see the LazyPurple cameo
I love the legally distinct "You Say Run" in the background. (Amazing work, btw!)
Did Saxton just go full dragon ball on me?
I really REALLY like the music in this video! It’s such good ost!
Okay, I love how the lines weren't straight copied from My Hero Academia, the lines, sound effects, and plot are all TF2 themed, even if the sequence is entirely MHA.
This made me cry mannly tears...
I waited for something like this so long! I generally had a thought about Saxton Hale being in All Mights role as a shower thought. I LOVE THIS!
It was super cool seeing all the live streams up until this point and how all that effort made this amazing animation
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME, AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS STEAKY WUDNAWDADW
If you type SFM, this was the third thing that showed up for me. Not too shabby!
After watching this through the first time I opened up "You Say Run" in a new tab and synced it up to fit over the animation.
Best decision I ever made.
i like the lazy purple reference, haha, amazing work yet again steaky! I love this.
The Animation is Astonishing, and at the moment with the sound effects it's kind of funny and the way the video is showcased
Damn bro. Your animation skills are definitely growing to stellar degree. Keep it up :)
As soon as I clicked on this video and saw the scenery I immediately knew it was kelp dome lmao but nonetheless very nice place for this though! Keep up the good work man! ❤
This is beautiful I’m crying right now
Man, your animations look so... alive
top notch
That's the world's most durable yeti
THIS WAS UPLOADED 2 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY HAS UNDER 80,000 VIEWS?
This is the one of the best uses of SFM I’ve ever seen, the movement is so fluid and expressive, absolutely phenomenal job
Your animations are so freaking fluid man. Awesome work!
I am speechless. This is cinema-quality material. And you did this with the hellspawn spaghetti code of SFM to boot. All Hail Steaky.
scout might never be as strong as an Australian but one day he could be as fast as one
I love LazyPurple just crushing a bot randomly
the yeti was the last of his kind because he was simply the strongest of his kind
3:20 *Kostamoinen* heavy
Love it
