My favorite scene has to be where Meta Knight goes all out on Link and attacks him from all directions. You can see the detail in how Link uses the different weapons and actually wields them like he does in the games, it is honestly insane how much detail were put into less than like 20 seconds of content.
And speedrunner botw link has nothing on speedrunner totk link. (fairy+weapon dupe, weapon juggling (stacking) fixes his core weaknesses of low health, weapon durability, and limited damage that requires him to rely more on stamina. Loss of bomb runes is solved by ruby dupe) (granted newer speedruns no longer uses fairies, but it was a core component for a while to 'cancel' fall damage) (the biggest loss from speedrunner botw link is honestly the removal of paraglider from the core set, meaning he has significantly less aerial mobility, which does give him a new weakness)
Just remember, all this started because an animator decided ti make a funny video about mario speedruning. And now it's become a masterful universe on the same level as the MCU. Well done terminalmontage team, well done!
@@BlooperStupid yea, for a simple explanation, more complexity = square amount of effort needed to complete a animation extra explanation : and clearly terminalmontage used frames by frames hand draw method to animate his animations which means you need tons of effort, so simplify character is needed unless you want him to burn our in the first 10 hours of animating a single digit amount of frames, I tried to animate in his style and I burned out after 5 frames been made, which took me 1.5 hours each frame and 3 hr to design the simplified character in terminalmontage style, probably because I'm more of a artist than a animator so I can't do it but u get the point and that's what so many people do stick man fighting animation of the past, simple characters that easy to animate, so can create epic scenes with less effort and lower skills requirements
I think Necrozma vs Arceus is my favorite in terms of atmosphere; Link vs Meta Knight is a personal favorite, the former is one of my favorite characters; but yeah, in terms of story significance for THIS series and overall "choreography," Wahoo vs Super Sonic just can't be beat (so far).
@@billywitchdocter you've missed the point throughout terminals' story. The demon inhabiting mario has always been parallel universes ahead of luigi. Sonics' time jump finally allowed him to catch up and exorcise the demon
0:00 Boshi vs Cloudjin 1:32 Samus vs Ridley 2:26 Kirby vs HR-H 2:57 Arceus, Dialga, and Palkia vs Ultra Necrozma 4:09 Link vs Phantom Ganon 5:08 Dawn vs Volo 7:41 Speedrunner Link vs Brawl Meta Knight 12:12 Megaman X vs Storm Eagle L 15:40 Speedrunner Mario (Speed Demon) vs Melee Fox 20:55 Gigantamax Urishifu-R vs Gigantamax Machamp vs Gigantamax Lapris 21:53 Speedrunner Mario (Speed Demon) vs Super Sonic
The thing that makes Chilidogs vs Wahoo so raw for me besides the absolutely INSANE choreography and music are those frames where we can see Wahoo perfectly read Chilidog’s attack after he goes back in time. That face is pure malice and it’s so good
what makes me love mario vs fox so much is how it dives into the parallel uni/scuttle bug mechanics. i was floored when i saw the fight for the first time haha
16:50 and 16:52 where Fox dashed into Mario and then tried to shoot Mario, both times you can see MULTIPLE Marios(maybe it was 4 for both) coming out of the exchanges. He was truly 4 parallel universes ahead of Fox even from the start
I’d still say that GMAX RS-Ursh VS GMAX Lapras is the best fight in the series. It’s just something about the buildup to the clash with something about steamed hams mixed with the clash itself no matter how short it is. Something about the “You Fool, YOU FOOL” just hits way too hard for some reason and I love it
21:54 In Mario's first encounter with Sonic, he's rather surprised by the sudden attack, but in the second encounter, he not only sees the attack coming, but puts up a rather devious grin, showing his absolute insanity.
Im still questioning how he only has 4.3 million or somewhere around that. This guy (also his crew if he has one) works so hard to output amazing content.
This is why, no matter how long a video takes, it's always worth it when it drops. Even when rewatching episodes I end up catching little easter eggs I hadn't noticed before (like how I didn't notice Dialga's face when Cloudjin talks about consuming time until now). I'll always look forward to your videos!
I genuinely think Fight Scenes sre the most underrated part of any Media, so much work goes jnto making them whether 2D, 3D, or Live Action. More peopel need to appreciate Figth Scenes cause they're an art. Also I love how the fight scenes you make tend to vary frkm and RPG Style fights to Full on DBZ Style fights.
I think the biggest thing that sets the epic fight scenes apart from the goofier shenanigans in these animations is that the music always goes hard AF with the good fights. Not that there aren't fights without the tone-shifting music, and neither are the goofy segments lacking in absolute bangers, but you *feel it* when the music starts with the fight, and these remixes are always hits. The best example of that, IMO, is Samus vs. Ridley. The timing of the fight with the music, and the more frantic version of Ridley's theme fuckin slaps.
Seeing the history of SomethingSeries fights is beautiful. We even start off with a reference, at least I'm assuming it's a reference, to Plumbing Plantastrophe
The fact that the fight with Melee Fox was on Melee FD and the one with Brawl Meta Knight was the Brawl version. That attention to detail is something else, man
Watching all these fights together, makes me happy to continue the imaginary battles in my head. Like! Trying to write out a battle, will always feel different from watching a battle. Determining the battle's length can sometimes be tricky, because you wanna show most of the characters' tricks without going too overboard. What I'm trying to say is: Thanks for bringing to life the epic fights we like to picture in our heads. :D
Something SUPER cool I'm just noticing in the Mario V sonic fight around 24:35 is that the frames of the final punch are placed few frames before the final impact, so other punches can still be placed in between while still giving the final slam a good sense of weight and power. It's actually genius and not something I'd ever even think about doing
I’ve seen the megaman battle at least 20 times and I will never get tired of the epic music in that fight. I wish one day the team make a part 2 with another song. Thank you!!
The "Something Versus" intro popping up in the middle of the Subspace Emissary video was such a badass moment, gave me chills. It had the anime intro song starting in the middle of the episode feel to it.
In the battles between the speedrunners and the Smash fighters, the speedrunners are the horrifying eldritch Jojo villains. But they're secondary villains before the climactic showdown, so you never know who's going to win.
Megaman X's little "Woo" was what made me subscribe... and I've never even played Megaman X as a series. But it was a jammin' tune, and it ended on such a little matter-of-fact joke that I cracked up hard. I kinda hope he does more music battles like that. Megaman or otherwise.
The greatest thing about this list is that there could be a simple final boss or battle and Terminalmontage just wakes up and says "I'll make that way more better" These battles will mark history!
speed runner mario fights are on a whole different level. i forget im watching terminal montage half the time. i cant wait to see what the space federation with rosalina and geno is about.
this whole something about series and all your videos basically are the coolest thing for me. I'm 33 now. I love it, and my inner child loves it too. Thank youu for this!!
Arceus Vs. Necrozma for me. Seeing Necrozma, a maniacal dragon hellbent on absorbing all light in the universe battling Arceus, a god Pokemon that created the universe is a fight I was not expecting to see.
From the very beginning I knew Mario vs. Sonic would be #1. Which is why it’s hilarious that we got the Gigantamax battle and then Mario vs. Sonic as the real #1. I got got and that was funny to me
Teinal montage is actually goated. His animations feel so fast yet so smooth, you can feel the power in each hit and he can do some real lazy scenes like a still image of Mario being flung around at mach 3 but it still feels natural because of his style. Actually an amazing animator.
I don't know what it is but when I see re-enactments of my favorite moments in videogame history I get chills all over and I almost start to cry. It's so weird. This happens every time I see the pokemon battle royales or the Something Versus matches. Hasn't changed in all these years.
The attention to detail for what can be considered animated parodies is out of this world

I don’t know how you make awesome fights with simple character designs, but I’m all for it
It's cause the character designs are simple

Because the more simple a character is, the easier it is to draw, and the easier it is the draw, the more easily it can do various things
since the characters are simple, we put all the effort into the fight
You should have seen some of the stickman fighting animations from early youtube that stuff was raw

The Time jump to ambush the enemy just for it to fail because he remembers is the most epic and badass scene i have ever seen.

The Samus vs Ridley fight deserves to be higher up. There are so many little things that just make it more satisfying to me.
Yeah. And RIdley is actually one of the few villains, if not the only one to put a decent fight
Man! Terminal Montage makes all his fights feel like they the final boss of the most epic game ever created.
Nothing but admiration and awe!
Good animators: make goods fights

Alright u are in fact in the picture of the dictionary definition so your clear meme deployment
You know, its amazing you're able to limit yourself to just ten when you have like multiple episodes that are one extensive fight scene
I'm always so impressed by and loved that how well the silliness and the epicness are perfectly merged and balanced in all these fights

He is playing Virgil DUDE!! 😈🗡

That last one's ending told us of an omniverse.
It's kinda...amazing how that's working out now.
I absolutely love the story of something about series…the jokes, the characters and the drawing are so perfect❤❤❤my personal favorite
Can we mention that Mario’s ‘M’ becomes the Majin ‘M’ when he’s fighting Sonic?
It’s the little details that make these so great.
Boshi just casually has supernova in his moveset because why not
The one with Megaman is my personal favorite, that fight and that music i was on the clouds with that one.
In the battles between the speedrunners and the Smash fighters, the speedrunners are the horrifying eldritch Jojo villains. But they're secondary villains before the climactic showdown, so you never know who's going to win.
Nintendo..... WHY NOT HIRE THIS GUY FOR AN EPIC TRAILER?! Sega did it for Sonic and Friend.
It is insane how Terminal Montage finds the perfect music to go with every moment.
The only youtuber that actually helped me through my depression of middle school, thank you for everything!
I literally got goosebumps from watching the video. Your the best Terminal Montage

An honorable mention should be the fight In Monster hunter Iceborne against Shara ishvalda
Teinal montage is actually goated. His animations feel so fast yet so smooth, you can feel the power in each hit and he can do some real lazy scenes like a still image of Mario being flung around at mach 3 but it still feels natural because of his style. Actually an amazing animator.
