You know, something I like about this Collab that I've just realized is that the Imitator is actually winning against most of his matches at first. He's constantly either beating his opponents or forcing them to retreat. It's not until the last few matches that he starts getting knocked around. And even then, in the big team-up battle against him, he gets a strong start. However, the moment he slips up once, it all collapses.

I remember drawing a stickman comic with my friend. The characters were based of my classmates.

Watching this in 0.25 speed to analyze the fight. Here's what I found. Timestamp: 0:21 When the fight begins, he switches from gray to full black. Timestamp: 0:26 MC actually had shot Dhurkien255 sword to get it stuck on the ceiling. Timestamp: 0:47 Not really a "blink and you'll miss it moment" but this reminds me of block breaks from fighting games. Timestamp: 0:48 When Kixx powered up, MC guarded from the blast. Timestamp: 0:54 Either could've shot with their free hand, but Mc decides to rush instead of shooting. Timestamp: 0:57 They actually switched places once. Didn't notice that the first or several dozen times. Timestamp: 0:58 MC actually steps on the arrow first then jumping off of it instead of just jumping from the ground. Likewise, Nomar starts by standing on one then steps on the arrow to drop down. Timestamp: 1:02 Really obvious but some might still miss it, Nomar uses his feet to shoot the arrow while doing a cartwheel backwards. I also find it funny how although they can manifest arrows out of nowhere, he still chooses to pick up one from the ground. Timestamp: 1:10 The flame MC threw and Fox caught was a bomb. Timestamp: 1:14 When the tornado breaks, Mc's flame pushes Fox back and vice versa. Timestamp: 1:15 Fox taunts MC by pointing at him before rushing him. Timestamp: 1:32 CoreAdro was actually the one who got hit by the MC when he was landing with a frontflip. Always thought it was the MC who got hit there. Timestamp: 1:33 When hit with the charge attack, CoreAdro completely disappear. And MC's stick turned to ash. Timestamp: 1:48 In one frame only, Ehm was already on the right while MC was still on the left. Timestamp: 1:56 MC's sword only changed when the impact happened. Timestamp: 1:58 When MC shot, Jomm actually pulled out his gun to shoot the bullet mid-air instead of blocking it with a grenade like I initially thought. Timestamp: 2:00 Jomm jumped at MC in a position as if he was already kicked. Timestamp: 2:01 He recalls his sword after it's been blown up which makes me curious whether there are rules or if they can just summon a new one whenever they want. Timestamp: 2:02 Some probably didn't notice because they were looking at Jomm but MC puts his hand up to shield the blast. Timestamp: 2:04 Back to the rules of the weapons, Jomm's just disappear outright. Timestamp: 2:05 MC got stronger with the power cus instead of clapping like in 1:59, he just has to point and time slows down. I was also wondering why Jomm was slowed down here while before he wasn't but after looking at it again, when MC clapped and slowed time down at 1:59, Jomm's eyes were leaving a red stroke like the flash indicating that he also stopped time for himself while at 2:05 he was caught off guard and didn't use it on himself leaving him in slow-motion. Timestamp: 2:08 I always though Rafah's blob hit MC's head to the floor but it actually wrapped around like a helmet and pulled his head instead. Timestamp: 2:10 After losing focus, Rafah's blob turns to liquid and stays on the floor instead of disappearing. It's harder to see than MC's at 2:12 cus of it's colour. Timestamp: 2:13 Rafah's blob seems to have more power the more exaggerated their movement is as he just points and the blob does all the movement but he pulls his arms back when calling it back. Or it could be a choreograph choice cus it looks epic. Timestamp: 2:15 The blob seems to be tied to their body aswell cus when MC's blob was destroyed, he stumbles a little, leaving him open to an attack. Timestamp: 2:22 Although it looks like MC and Oxob are equal in power during their clash, theres actually a rainbow arc generated behind MC by Oxob's punch. Timestamp: 2:25 I love the fact that when MC was doing rapid punches and Oxob starts to block, MC broke the guard by pulling his head towards him then punching him. Timestamp: 2:27 I don't know exactly how or why the shield disappeared but my favorite theory is that instead of breaking it, Oxob removed it by pushing with his own lightning upwards. Timestamp: 2:30 Instead of pulling the head like MC in 2:25, Oxob punched his gut once to break the guard then again with a charged attack. Timestamp: 2:35 The sword suddenly becomes one line, which I dont really mind, it probably saved Dracko some time. Timestamp: 3:10 Fox actually has a sword that I never noticed. Timestamp: 3:11 I could be wrong but it looks like Kix didn't shoot and instead deflected the bullets with the guns. Timestamp: 3:17 MC's blob came from offscreen instead of just appearing making me question the weapon rules again lel. Timestamp: 3:20 While Hyun powers up his sword AND himself in 1:35, MC powers up only the sword's EDGE. Timestamp: 3:22 Poor CoreAdro, didn't even have his staff equipped, then MC hit a homerun with him as the ball lol. Timestamp: 3:28 Now we actually see MC's weapon disappear and the blob appears from off screen again. Timestamp: 3:30 Rafah's blob is a puddle again. Timestamp: 3:31 Kix is being shot in the butt. Timestamp: 3:34 Nomar's Bow disappeared into a blast of energy, and so did MC's hat :( Timestamp: 3:35 Jomm didn't have to do anything to active his ability but neither did MC anymore as he isn't slow down. Timestamp: 3:39 Fox didn't even hit MC lol, he just pounced of MC to push him down. Timestamp: 3:40 Although it's supposed to be a turning hit, there's no fram in between so it looked like MC got punched in the balls, RIP. The reason I did this was when I noticed MC clapped to active Jomm's power. and I also really wanted to see what moves they were using. After being amazed, I want everyone to notice these small details all the animators put in. Edit: Sooooo, I just saw the credits for the first time ehe, I apologize for not using the character's actual names.

The imitator’s last stand is insane, but the coordinations between the other 12 are incredible too, especially during that 12 vs 1 sequence. Continuous pressures, absolutely smooth transition, immediately punishing their opponent for spending too long on shooting, no one spending too much time hitting the imitator and a perfect setup for Dracko to finish him off. They’re legends too that makes the Imitator’s last stand more impressive

3:31 the exact instant the Imitator began to lose. Had it not decided to shoot repeatedly at Jomm (I believe?) it may have actually won. But because it paused to shoot repeatedly, Oxob was able to get a solid blow to the back, and that threw off it's combo, and allowed for the others to basically stun-lock it.

Especially since I like to believe the imitator's weakness is rapidly changing forms back to back, sorta like how if you fire a gun continuously, your aim will eventually worsen and you could even jam.

I always figured that a person with the ability to perfectly copy or imitate others would be at a disadvantage when against multiple opponents. If they can only copy one person at a time, then they have to quickly change up tactics so they can effectively use their copied abilities, and fighting multiple people would leave them focusing maybe 45% on keeping track of all available fighting styles and strategies so they can adjust to every form... just thinking about it is very stressful.

I really like how the final fight really shows the fundamental weakness of the imitator. A weakness loop. When imitating someone, he also gains the target's weaknesses. Like how a grappler is automatically weak against zoners, which are weak against rush downs, which are in return, weak to grapplers.

i like how the objective is to overwhelm the imitator by giving it too much stuff to copy and then defeat him

The Imitator Collabs make me wonder: why does the imitator exist? How was it created, and by who? I understand Shuriken's done with animation, but if one was to pick up where he left off, how would it continue? What would the Imitator's reason be for fighting? Being created to defeat the others or was it merely self-defense?

This is old, but it's an amazing animation. The team did a great job animating this and the fact that the imitator is a strong warrior, he keeps fighting until the end even though he knows he is about to lose against those powerful warriors big respect to him.

Fox is probably my favorite character here, partly because of his consistently laid-back posture and behavior. He is first seen just playing with a flame, and immediately transitions to fighting without letting the imitator catch him off guard, then at the end we see him walking while resting his head in his arms, showing he clearly has no fear or even concern about his foe.

In my opinion this is a better version of the imitator 2 collab on Shuriken's channel. The little changes made such as Serra, Sheim, and Lindsay being seen walking into the room for the big finale and the gun shot sound effects changed in Kixx's rapid shot at the end really made me feel more excited cause now I want to look back through the video and see more of the tiny changes made. Shuriken you mad lad, you are my biggest inspiration to animate especially synced projects. Watching your stuff since the original Defend the Diamond collab to now really brings a smile to my face. Seeing the improvements that tons of animators made throughout the years really made me wish I had a computer back then. Finally seeing Hatena and Core Adro in one of your collabs and be the reasons this collab wasn't cancelled shows me how far you've grown. From the older and original animators like Resh and X to the newer generation of animators like Hatena and Core make me smile seeing that after all these years you never stopped animating. This was the perfect way to end your animation career. Farewell dude.

Can confirm that changes were made in this one 👌

Just in case anyone is wondering lore wise. Imitator 2 is the first fight where they test to see how strong he is. The list at the end was of agents that were going into the second fight and fordz was the final executor. Reason why he is so strong is his ability to mimic fighting styles (guessing with knowledge they had because you need to know that in order to copy it) with high regeneration capabilities. Fordz was the final one because you need someone who was a double edged sword, dealing such massive explosive damage in order to stop the regeneration. Guaranteed there were probably other agents that could do that, but fordz ultimately was assigned it. It was also risky because if anything went wrong (especially for fordz) they could have died because no one said that an exact copy of you can’t kill you. It just happened to work out as planned with fordz going completely offensive before imitator could. He would be the strongest if he kept everything of a person when he copied them and could swap between past people. Weakness was definitely his quantity and limited ability. If he could keep skills from past people them he could just use very strong area of effect moves but he can only copy people his fighting meaning that he’s powerful in 1 v 1 but cant copy both people in a 1 v 2. Especially if he can’t copy someone if he doesn’t know they there like a sniper off in the distance getting ready to shoot.

This whole fight coreography is just amazing, Idk if the Imitator had any background with the other characters that appeared on screen, but the fact that he is not just able to copy any ability, but also have a basic understanding of it and sometimes even overthrow the masters of said weapon is just amazing, it really goes to show that even a jack of all trades can be just as good as a true master, and actually fight in a more free way than the master could since he needed to understand each weapons abilities and weaknesses

I think I know why they unlocked him just to lock him again. These guys are the most top ranked stickman but the imitator would kill on of them. I think that battle was an experiment to see which one can beat him or what combo they can use to beat him, Their studying his moves and how fast he is and how quick he imitates. I think this whole battle is to find out how to beat the imitator because he was strong as hell if he went against one of them and just one of them they would've died.
