Hey all, I'm just answering a common question I am anticipating: Where is the analysis? ---- We announced last week that we will be closing both the Smash Bracket and Crossover Colosseum channels. We have already stopped production but have several episodes already animated and ready to post. We will be posting those animations to this channel and to Smash Bracket until we have run out of our backlog. Until that point, there will not be analyses alongside the animations. I hope you all can understand, even if it is disappointing. Here is a video going into more detail: ruclips.net/video/MOi7KFQdYWw/видео.htmlsi=CfbXw7m38GUHrD8R Here is a link to our original analysis script if you would like more details on the outcome: docs.google.com/document/d/1d4GSP03buyJPVVizu3jwVPwOHxUNqrdQdxD2M_1VAf0/edit?usp=sharing
Though I assume you still did the research for this episode, right? Is there a way to post the analisys segment and conclusion, even as a short document?
@@heyguysxdyes all the important research was shown in the link at the bottom, and yes, it was close, with KB apparently beating Gengar in stats (assuming Gengar doesn’t boost them immediately), but Gengar has hax and ways to get around some of boo’s most common attacks, not to mention being way more experienced in combat, which would let it notice that King Boo’s power comes from the crystal in its head.
I just realized an interesting detail; the analysis script states King Boo only needs about ten hits to win, and early on in the animation Gengar takes heavy damage, prompting him to heal and avoid taking many more hits.
Wow I did not see this fight between two ghost boys evolving into a fist fight between a possessed Bowser Phantom and a freaking Blastoise and Venusaur fusion. Hahahaha. It's all some surprises like that which I love in these types of fights
What exactly was the deal with the Blastoise/Venusaur? I don't remember Gengar ever being able to do anything like that. I know there wasn't an analysis this time around, but I am curious to know what the thought process behind this was.
Tbf normal giga gengar would not be useful, it does double the hp of the glass cannon that is gengar to turn him into... An unmoving portal that cannot even resist hits that well Yeah, using the giant gengar was not only a great reference but also the best strategic choice
@@vik.o1598And IIRC it was already established that (at least in SB) something like Dynamaxing wouldn’t be used because there aren’t many places that power up can work.
I personaly dont think It is that good of an inclusion because the giant gengar from the anime was an specific ancient gengar rather than a form any gengar can use
Impressive how you managed to keep a fight between two stubby-limbed blobs exciting and varied. Especially with all the different moves and forms Gengar got to use. The fake Bowser having no pupils was also a nice touch.
When Crossover Colosseum announced the matchups it planned to make, King Boo vs Gengar was easily one of my most anticipated fights. And man did this animation completely blow me away. So many hype moments that caught me off guard in the best way. Definitely my personal favorite fight on this channel. Everyone working on it should be proud.
It would be cool if there was something out there explaining why the winner won, even just a google doc of the notes or the script that was gonna be there. Completely understand why there couldn't be an analysis here, but I'd still love to know the reasoning behind the winner somehow
Read the script for the analysis and conclusion. The latter is a really interesting breakdown of the fight dynamic. It's always interesting when the winner is determined not by stat advantage, but by tactics and versatility.
Gengar is my favorite fictional character of all time, so seeing him in a vs. animation was such a treat, and seeing him not only do so many cool things in the fight but also win made me unbelievably happy, and turned this honestly pretty crappy day I was having completely around. Im really sad these channels are ending, they mean so much to me, but I’m grateful for the content you’ve put out for so many people. Watching you and the team improve and improve with each episode was some of the most fun I’ve had on RUclips, and I’m glad I and so many others got to experience this wonderful channel. Thank you, Ink, and everyone else involved. Take it easy. -Goob
Pokémon are terrifying, they don’t even need to be legendary to terraform the Earth considering mons like Tyranitar and Machamp are so powerful that maps need to be remade after they’ve annihilated mountains
King Boo definitely should’ve won, King Boo overpowered Mario on numerous occasions who is a top tier in the Mario verse, meanwhile Gengar isn’t even among the most powerful Pokémon in lore
Man. The wait for this was SO WORTH IT. Im so impressed with how good this animation is. A bit of a shame we couldn’t get an analysis, but this is completely satisfactory. Thank you Crossover Colosseum and Smash Bracket crew for giving us this beautiful episode. A shame to see y’all go, but thank you giving us such great pieces of art. And I got SO hype for the Ghost Bowser vs VenuStoise scene. Completely unexpected and fantastic. Such great escalation too. Low key made me emotional to watching this knowing it’ll be one of the last, but I’m so happy with how this came out ❤
Awsome animation, wish King Boo would've won, but after I read the analysis document, I understood. Great Fight, and what what a sweet Halloween treat this was. Thank you so much Cross-Over Colosseum!
@pantherman691 Justice? Pokémon has lots of games and merch, a movie, and is super popular? What "Justice" do they need? I wish Mother/Earthbound wasn't originally high jacked by Pokémon, and it could get some Justice.
Hmmm, from what i can tell it was close, it really came down to who can really have the best advantage. If King Boo could've had ways to neutralise Gengars possible abilities, the burn and had even a good way to heal would've gave king boo the win, but Gengar definitely had a lot to use. If King Boos crown was unbreakable then the battle could've been going for a lot longer.
Y'all went OFF on this one, oh my god! Don't have much to say other than that it's really great, loved seeing Venustoise show up unexpectedly. Wonderful work!
AYOOOO that was sooo gooooooood. It feels weird not having a post analysis but I will say, this still rocks! I wasnt expecting a "Bizarro Bowser" vs Blastsaur fight but i enjoy it! The melee, status condition and the scale was really good.
@KumatorasLittleCutie-Pie nah if u played all the games he was in, he can scale to around galaxy, meanwhile gengar at Mega scales to around city so gengar had no chance
This is actually one of my most wanted death battles but now since I saw this now I don't know if I want this to be in death battle because this was so good
Oh shit that was fucking awesome!!! Just unexpected after unexpected of just fan service from both side I was expecting the other one to win wow I didn’t see that coming! Probably in my top 5 favourite Vs animation now who knows might take top pick because this gave me surprise after surprise I wasn’t expecting gengar to be able to escape the paint but he was some how able to do that?!
Well that was all the chaotic fun I hoped for. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the analysis boiled down to 'early Pokemon anime was freaking nuts.'
Ngl, I'm surprised that gengar won. I know this gengar is more inspired by the anime but king boo scales to the mario cast who are pretty insane, as well as having reality warping abilities shown in luigi's mansion 2
How? Like genuinely how? Are you just salty about the verdicts that your favourite character didn’t win. Death Battle season 10 is better than all of smash bracket and CC. No way in hell are you not just being a liar just because.
you know what I think would be interesting... is King Boo fighting for Luigi since only he is allowed to scare Luigi. Nobody else is allowed to. only him.
I honestly think we should count them only having 4 moves as game mechanics, but yeah them getting composited with their un-canon anime and manga is dumb.
This is easily my favorite fight you've done, I love Pokemon and seeing all the references included was great. Especially love the shout-out to the Blastoise and Venusaur fusion (also, GENGAR SWEEP!!!!!)
@@floatingf8783 With neither really playing that big of a part in the actual analysis. The former was just something mostly for animation--and besides, we see Pokemon Mega Evolve without a Trainer, like in Super Mystery Dungeon. And the latter was just an illusion, that was the whole point of why King Boo couldn't touch it.

But you still did the research right? This isnt a the animator can decide the victor animation? Also was it close?
Though I assume you still did the research for this episode, right? Is there a way to post the analisys segment and conclusion, even as a short document?

@@porl1800 Ah, thanks for the explanation.
Venostoise didn't use any grass type moves it only kept using hydro pump
It would be interesting to see king boo's reaction to solar beam
I love the inclusion of that giant Gengar from the anime instead of just using his regular Dynamax/Gigantamax version.
Tbf normal giga gengar would not be useful, it does double the hp of the glass cannon that is gengar to turn him into...

There is
Venustoise callback and ancient sealed giant Gengar, love it, y'all have a real passion. May this passion continue into your future endeavors
Thank you!
@@crossovercolosseum680you heard of Mario kun
@@crossovercolosseum680 can you do John Cena vs the Morningstar ( Lilith, lusifer and Charlie)

Pokemon tend to have versatility down, especially if you include everything

I am so glad that you enjoyed our content. That means a lot!
This is the best comment thread I have read all day. Props. (And thank you SmashBracket for making this video. It cheered me up as well. 💜)
My favorite fictional character is shy guy
That moment when one rememebers that these characters can be quite busted.
The fact that pokemon can solo most anime series scares me.
@@Rage_Blocks yeah and the arent a single character, they are a species, like dogs or cats
Pokémon are terrifying, they don’t even need to be legendary to terraform the Earth considering mons like Tyranitar and Machamp are so powerful that maps need to be remade after they’ve annihilated mountains

Happy Halloween everyone, and a "boo"ntastic day to all. Thank you, for everyone who put their heart and soul into this animation.
That was one hell of a fight! For the last true match on the channel, I'm glad to see it go out on a high note!
This makes me want both King Boo & especially Gengar in Smash Bros so badly. Very well done man.
4:25 Gengar: Sorry, was that important?
What's that a goku black vs reverse flash reference
@@mechagamer18 Yup
The King boo can control other ghosts and manipulate reality
Words can’t describe how cool this was
I'm ready for this Halloween bout, I wonder if the king will give Gengar the "boo"t or if Gengar is the exact "type" of pokemon needed to win.
Awsome animation, wish King Boo would've won, but after I read the analysis document, I understood. Great Fight, and what what a sweet Halloween treat this was. Thank you so much Cross-Over Colosseum!
That was wicked! Funnily enough, I think my favorite parts were the dust-up at the start and the big pseudo-kaiju brawl at the end.
That fight was actually insane to watch!
Seeing Venustoise and the pokemopolis Gengar from the indigo season blew the me fuck away what a beautifully animated fight
Extremely sad King Boo lost, but for the first time I saw him in a VS animation, the fight was AMAAAAAZING 💜👑💜
He was in Shaggy vs Luigi. By southdog animations. I'm sad King Boo lost here too by the way.
Dang am I the only one here who likes Gengar better
Sad? Good thing he lost. Some justice on Pokemon please?
@pantherman691
Justice? Pokémon has lots of games and merch, a movie, and is super popular? What "Justice" do they need? I wish Mother/Earthbound wasn't originally high jacked by Pokémon, and it could get some Justice.
@@KumatorasLittleCutie-Pie earthbound is crap.
and cry about it.

When FalseSwipeGaming refuses to make a Gengar remake this Halloween, we turn to the one who recognizes such glory.
Boomstick: So does that mean Gengar is the new king now?
Battle Music: Gastly Portraits
It references Gengar’s preevolved form and how King Boo traps his enemies.
Saw a few people reacting to this in thumbnails. But i never watched the actual fight. Now that I have, I can say that was awesome!
Impressive ! This could have been a Halloween special of Death Battle !
It's difficult to describe how much I love this, other than the fact that it was the best thing I've seen all night long. It's just beautiful.
This could possibly one of the last animations we see. I hope all goes well in future endeavors for everyone.
Y'all went OFF on this one, oh my god!
Don't have much to say other than that it's really great, loved seeing Venustoise show up unexpectedly. Wonderful work!
AYOOOO that was sooo gooooooood. It feels weird not having a post analysis but I will say, this still rocks!
I wasnt expecting a "Bizarro Bowser" vs Blastsaur fight but i enjoy it! The melee, status condition and the scale was really good.
Erm actually, its name is Venustoise 🤓
This was amazing! You all went really hard on this fight.
That was a great battle. Didn't mind who won since I love them both. This along with Luigi vs Simon Belmont were both awesome.
I now love Gengar even more now that I know what he is truly capable of
How do you only have 8k subscribers this man should be at 1mil At least for this amazing work ❤❤❤
omg, how epic to see my king boo sprite in an animation, I love it
I still dislike a little that they don't even give me credits to Gengar
This is a debate me and my friends have had for a while and I am very happy someone actually made it into a video 👍🏻
Pretty sure king boo would take easily though, but I did love the animation
@@sanicaraballo2928
Me too. King Boo totally should've won, but I guess, maybe he could've lost? But I thought he'd get an easy win.
@KumatorasLittleCutie-Pie nah if u played all the games he was in, he can scale to around galaxy, meanwhile gengar at Mega scales to around city so gengar had no chance
Never thought you could make King Boo of all characters look badass, but here we are! Awesome job
This was an awesome sprite battle to watch and Happy Halloween
I’ve even reacted to this sprite battle
This is actually one of my most wanted death battles but now since I saw this now I don't know if I want this to be in death battle because this was so good
OMG MY GENGAR SPRITES :D VERY HAPPY TO SEE THEM BEEING USED
HOLY SHIT THIS WAS SICK! I can't believe I saw this earlier but this looked awesome! I like it quite a lot! Amazing job with this Matchup!
Oh shit that was fucking awesome!!! Just unexpected after unexpected of just fan service from both side I was expecting the other one to win wow I didn’t see that coming!
Probably in my top 5 favourite Vs animation now who knows might take top pick because this gave me surprise after surprise
I wasn’t expecting gengar to be able to escape the paint but he was some how able to do that?!
This wait SO HARD! And I love it. I’ll miss CC and SB a lot so I’ll remember this fight for a long time as one of my favorites
Seeing Venustoise in action was the icing on the cake for me.
Well that was all the chaotic fun I hoped for. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the analysis boiled down to 'early Pokemon anime was freaking nuts.'
Venustoise? That level of fanservice is just perfect.
I love the gengar fnaf jumpscare
I'm reading the intro & the rest with Ink's voice. I'm glad we get to have the script.
1:15 possible pokepark reference spotted, based
Ngl, I'm surprised that gengar won.
I know this gengar is more inspired by the anime but king boo scales to the mario cast who are pretty insane, as well as having reality warping abilities shown in luigi's mansion 2
The fight I most want to see is a free for all between the seven star children.
This was so worth the wait, thank you!!! I hope you’re taking care of yourself!
In reality tho the fight would either never have happened due to ghostly friendship, or only end with the two becoming friends
This was awesome.
Wait does Gengar now have King Boos powers. If so, get the raid spot light on. Strongest Gengar to exist.
For as flawed as the research and outcome was, this was dope.
I didn't understand the part where Gengar apparently calls some zombie to fight King Boo, but still, the fight was amazing
Probably a Manga thing.
@@floatingf8783it is a manga move, good guess. In the manga ghastly has raised the dead to fight red when he went to pokemon tower
I was not expecting a Venatoise reference. And the Giant Gengar too!?
I wish Gengar can do these things in the actual Pokemon universe
It's because pokemon is limited by being a game. In the anime, it probably wouldn't just "forget" any moves it learns before the new ones.
Literally my only "complaint" is that it doesnt have a custom track, other than that it was perfect
This was a great and terrifying fight
I don’t know about canonically, but was a lot of fun to watch
This feels like an actual death battle episode and I like it more than most of the new death battle episodes I'm impressed I liked this😊
How? Like genuinely how?
Are you just salty about the verdicts that your favourite character didn’t win.

I always wondered why Pokémon here have access to more than 4 moves at a time, but I don't mind much. Pretty good animation all around.
Pokemon in Versus get composited with the Anime and often the Manga, neither of which have that limitation.
I honestly think we should count them only having 4 moves as game mechanics, but yeah them getting composited with their un-canon anime and manga is dumb.
Now THAT was a pretty cool fight👻🤜🤛
They have to rematch! This is really damn entertaining
Fun fact, I meeted this video because a comment on the official video of the background music (FEVER From onlap)
I choose to believe that the zombies being bald humans was a reference to Buried Alive, who used a Gengar in his creepypasta.
Bro just became Fnaf at the end
This was crazy well made!
This is easily my favorite fight you've done, I love Pokemon and seeing all the references included was great. Especially love the shout-out to the Blastoise and Venusaur fusion (also, GENGAR SWEEP!!!!!)
As someone who's gonna write this fight at some point, this was SICK!! And that track was awesome!
I never knew Gengar could do that
2:26
Gengar: Uh Oh....
*(GETS FUCKIN INCINERATED)*
Ok, this was epic. Happy Halloween.
Now that battle was spooky.
This animation is outstanding, fine work indeed.
YEEEES YEEEEEEEEES, THE BURNING, MEGA, DINAMAX, BLASTOISE AND VENASAUR FUSION, OH MY LORD I LOVE IT, MY BOY WON!!!!
Ink said this would be a Halloween episode, but he never said which Halloween
10/10 fight had me me on the edge of my seat for most of it
Wow
I didnt expect this at all. This is awesome 😎 👍
For a second there, I thought King Boo was gonna win, I'm glad that wasn't the case.
I’m surprise I was expecting ginger to summon an army of ghastly & Haunters
Poor boo, i tought he would just get jumpscared
Death battle needs to hire this guy
I’m gonna miss this content
man, this is crazy good.
Great job as always.
I can't mention your name to my friends because they complain that you are all I talk about, but this battle came out very good
This should get at least 1 million views.
The hand drawn bits go SO hard.
This was barely fair, but still so fun to watch!
Barely? It was a close fight.
@@saltygibus5746and that's WITH Gengar getting shit he shouldn't have like Trainer-less Mega Evolution and growing to the size of an Aincent Gengar

You know what would be hilarious? If Luigi was the one to send out Gengar.
That was a sick battle and I loved the references from the Pokemon anime such as Venastoise.
Just to let you know I love your fight mashups! They are incredible, also in future hopefully Idea fight: Terraria vs Minecraft
