I know the Knight didn't talk but reading the captions of him saying "Sup" while Madeline and Badeline stare in horror at the *shade* is way too funny.
The fact that I have memorized every one of these Indie games enhanced the quality so much. Seeing Madeline, Badeline and the Knight work together legitimately brought tears to my eyes. And seeing the magic talking flask and Shovel Knight was hysterical
Dude I love how frisk is being treated as a sort of secondary antagonist, It's so cool to see them acting in character. This is one of the few depictions of frisk that actually capture how emotionless they are during the genocide route, Never emoting only boxing.
12:57 I like how it took a crap ton of “Real Knives” to defeat Frisk, because the of the “Real knife’s” attack stat being 99. Because if you checked Undyne the Undying’s stats” in the genocide route, she also has an attack stat of 99. If you hacked the game to get the heart locket early in that fight, Undyne’s attacks would literally do like 1 - 2 damage from what I remember.
Shovel Knights portrayal alongside Cuphead is probably one of my favorite things to see. They have great chemistry together and their fight was animated beautifully.
Why is no one talking about how adorable Madeline and the Knight are. The only line spoken between them is the caption of "sup". Show don't tell. And the way Knight just bows to Madeline after saving him is great. Also I want to add that these two are the most wholesome in the cast of characters, one is smol and the other is Madeline.
13:56 Don't forget this scene where the Knight was getting ready to protect Madeline from Genocide Frisk by stepping in front of her. It's a very adorable detail.
i like the little touches like shovel knight saying "the fu-" before getting bodied and frisk having the comparison to sans on their solo fighting scene near the end
14:09 Everyone sees the Knight blocks the projectile. Hollow Knight players realizing that he just took the hit and lost one mask (a mask is the knights hit points. Meaning kinda like Minecrafts heart health points. But the Kinght has to manually regen his using soul which he gets from striking foes.
He didnt lose a mask, he activated baldurs shell for a split second. It blocks all damage forcertain amount of hits before being broken and is activated by essentialy focusing/healing.
I will not believe in that. Madeline first help Knight, so he is now see her as ally. Knight do not have mind, thoughts, bounds. They are NOT friends, he just copying behaviour patterns like grace have a useful ally. That's how vessels work (Sorry for my grammars, i am russian and i am to lazy to use translators)
@@eleszeyeker3434 What about Knight giving white flowers to everyone in Hollow Knight and the fact that he bows to certain people? Also he befriends people like Hornet and most of the characters in the game not only that the Knight has friends like Grimmchild and those small spiders who help him fight while he explores Hollow Nest.
Great work honestly. The music and soundtrack was actually my favourite part about this. It may be the musician in me but the absolute blends of the songs together were so good. The best being megalo strike back with hollow knights theme. Great job. I really look forward to you guys continuing the project.
We've been waiting so long for episode 2 of this series, I hope you didn't give up on this series, we all liked this episode. I know animation takes time and if you're in school, it get's complicated with all the study and other stuff, but I hope you didn't give up.
This really reminds me of subspace emissary, where all the characters have their own separate plot lines that slowly condense together. I’m really looking forward to the future of this series!
You know what, I want to do something different, so here's this thing called,... Team Status (will tells you what's the current condition from these characters, so far...) : Shovel: Alive [Team 1] Cuphead: Alive [Team 1] Frisk: Near Death [Solo] Knight: Alive [Team 2] Madeline: Alive [Team 2]
I still come watch this video for the fights. This is just pure eye candy, Cant wait for the next episode! Man the people who had captions on got a treat, ill tell you what.
If I HAD to make one nitpick about it, I'd say the lip syncing feels a bit *off* at some points. Other than that, I genuinely think this may be one of the best animations currently on youtube right now.

The red alien robot army (containing evolving probes and their general) is so cool! OP abilities and charged attacks able to cut mountains in half easily. Reminds me of my own sci-fi projects 👀
Upon rewatching I noticed that there are actually a lot of seemsly integrated 3D models in these animations, specifically for shovel knight. It was hard to tell they were 3D at first, but at closer look he constantly shifts from 2D to 3D, especially his shovel
Although the bow indicates emotion, which is not the best implication for the "hollow" aspect of the knight. If you've played HK you know what happened the last time a vessel showed emotion. Doesnt really matter for this series tho
Madeline being in this and hearing those familiar motifs fill me with more joy then I could ever describe, I absolutely love she’s in this with my favorite track as well.
I have yet to watch this in full, having only skimmed through a few clips, but I REALLY hope Risk of Rain gets some representation in future episodes. Seeing the brothers of Petrichor V opposing each other or even being forced to work together against a greater force would be a sight to behold, not to mention potentially hearing Risk of Rain inspired music. Still, as an indie game lover, I really do think this is the coolest shit regardless of who makes it in. My personal favorite duo (trio?) is Madeline and the Knight- Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time, and Celeste is really fun in its own right too. Seeing Madeline react to the Knight's silent mannerisms is really fun. Keep up the good work!
MORØ is his own studio. Literally everything he makes is so high quality and this just episode just proves it. Not only was the animation and voice acting incredible, but it's also almost 20 minutes long! Thank you MORØ and everyone who worked on this and still working on more episodes to come.
I love this it shows how dangerous and powerful the indie characters really are when their no longer shackled by the laws of their respective games, especially Cuphead. If he got access to all of his abilities at once, then he really is a menace.
I would have said chara is now thr strongest in this state but they lack movement. What if the knight could use the wings infinitely? What if they've no need for soul to cast spells? But then again in that case cuphead could infinitely cast the invincibility powerup, so i think they still have their limitations, or else cuphead wouldn't have lost to shovel knight and the hollow knight wouldnt have fallen
This is so perfect! The animation, the voice work, the character writing, the humor, all amazing! And while there are characters I would like to see (like the messenger, for example) I’d be more than satisfied with just the cast shown in this episode
I absolutely adore how the characters are represented here. I don't think Cuphead would be able to take as many hits as he did but I love how he acts here.
Also their health bars kinda work differently in this dimension since when Shovel Knight was first fighting the robot (at 2:30) he was shown to only have one piece of health left but he was still fine after getting a ton of damage by it and Cuphead (whose personality accurately reflects his Netflix cartoon).
13:49 This scene gave me so much chill, the way Frisk is still fighting and straight up limping with that lifeless stare even after being Mutilated and still putting up a fight, and that music added to it makes it so much more chilling
Dude. This is so well made! One thing that i will never forget in this indie cross animation is that frisk just came here. And also no talking like in the original undertale game! Can't wait for a skeleton to judge a kid because of they're 19 Level.... Edit: 13:55 That is just an amazing detail! Never realize megalo strike back was here! Probably chara controlled frisk so that the music got triggered.
As someone whose favorite games are Hollow Knight and Celeste, I absolutely adore Knight and Madelline together. AND CAN I JUST SAY THE WAY THE KNIGHT BOWED AFTER MADELLINE SAVED THEM, AND THEN THE SMILE FROM MADELLINE, I JUST CAN'T, IT'S TOO CUTE AND TOO AWESOME. Astonishing job
@@RushWheeler the knight and the siblings (or voidlings as I like to call them) are all genderless. The knight does obtain the king's mark, and as such becomes (technically) king. but due to it being genderless, some people give it the title "monarch" instead
This is phenomenal! I cannot wait to see more, there is so much potential in this as a series, I cannot wait to see how this grows and evolves over time!
Moro you absolute freaking legend. This is probably the fastest I've ever fell in love with a show. All of my favorite indie stars in one show AND it is INCREDIBLY animated? This is everything I can ask for! I can't get enough of the voice acting too, this is literally such perfect casting!
I love that you paired up Madeline with Knight. Despite having little screen time, their interactions are perfect. Plus, the duo makes sense given their games revolve heavily around platforming and climbing. Also, Madeline and Badeline's voices are PERFECT.
Yo i loved madelines voice considering they were the first indie platformer i played and yes the voices for them were PERFECT! Also fyi in the credits you can hear a remixed mirror temple
Fantastic work. Very high quality interpretations of each of these characters! The animation is also phenomenal! Such a pipedream but I would love to see Tim from Braid make an appearance as one of my favorite puzzle platformers.
Shovel knight getting some respect finally. He was one of the first “mainstream” indie games and introduced a lot of people to the genre. Guy should be the most experienced one there. Edit: gadzooks, shovelry sure Is popular
This series is going to be a situation where everyone else focuses on finding a way out. but then we have the speechless determined child who goes like "Ooooo, free exp.", I can't wait for part 2.
I wasn't thinking a game without any actual combat would be part of something like this. If so i'm hoping for Niko oneshot (tho all they can do is walk so uh) or Lily from Spiritfarer.
@@quarrelsomeness1659 I’d like to see a matchup between him and bendy, a beast that can’t bleed, but most certainly be parried, vs a machine made to kill demons
Seeing Hollow knight, Madeline, Frisk and Shovel knight being shown in modern animation is absolutely dream. Really excite to watch more of Indie Cross😊😁
@@tomioluwa1284 One doubts who Madeline is? And the other one with her and had appeared before and was helping her chase the frisk away. She's from some who but I don't know and an OC
Man, this animator is so underrated, he deserves recognition all over youtube like bigger animators who do such as Alan Becker, Gildedguy, JzBoy, Sr Pelo, Jaiden animations, etc… About the animation: it is an instant 10/10 it felt like i am watching a movie or some random TV series about indie game characters gathering up to fight against an all powerful army of drones and their leader who is more of an illusionist
Idk dawg, The Knight doesn't have much of a personality. The whole "No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering." Thing is pretty damning when it comes to that kind of thing.
@@annoy4nce648 well the knight does have a will because they have the void heart, and do you think they could really wield a sword if they didn't have a mind
@@ianjohns5701not to mention knowledge of how currency works and what charms are useful in what scenarios etc… So I don’t think PK really thought through his seal the radiance plan very well.
@@annoy4nce648 tbf i dont think the knight is a perfect vessel. he still shows some emotion or at least a mind. so i can see him being kind of like a unattached from reality infant with the skills of a blademaster if you stretch that enough lol
This is so awesome I love the fight so good. The choreography and the references to the series are amazing. Hats off to the voice actors definitely want to see more of Shovel Knight and his new best friend the magic Flask
I cant wait for Peppino Spaghetti to appear in episode 2 and tell the cast; "Don't you get it? Its time." And then Cuphead replies with, "Time? Time for what?" and then Peppino turns around and tells them "Its Pizza Time..." as he looks solemnly into the distance. Best part of the whoke series.
Cuphead has to be my favourite character in this animation, Every single time he laughed when shovel knight said "mugsie" was so in character! I can't wait to see episode 2!!!
Despite Celeste's popularity, there has never been a truly quality animation depicting her At least that was until now, because this (for me) does cover that missing piece in the fandom, although it's not exclusive to her
@@moltengears7483 I recognize that the movements are not well done, but they could be due to several factors The most accurate thing that occurs to me is due to ignorance, which is understandable, since among all the characters, she is the one with the least general impact. In the same way, it would not be good to ask for perfection, since it is the 1st time that she has been seen with an admirable quality, although I still hope that her movements improve Personally, I only came to see this animation because of her, because all the others already have (maybe I'm wrong with someone) a lot of repercussion (and sometimes it's tiring to see so many of these), and giving prominence to some smaller ones feels good, he deserves them
@@lemonomical I am surprised that she is the only one who has not been given a reason for her arrival in those lands, but we will not know those questions until they are explained In the meantime, we can just enjoy what we have, and see if we get those answers in the future
Never in my life did I think I would NEED in see an Indie Games Spider-verse. The animation, sound effects, choreography everything is frighteningly perfect
Dude, this animation went WAY beyond my expectations! The action is great, the voice acting's great, and I think the plot shows great potential. I would absolutely LOVE it if you continued this series.
If Isaac from TBOI ever makes a cameo in Indie Cross, I'd literally pause the video on the frame he appears and point to the video for 5 minutes straight like "HE DID THE THING!"
That would be pretty cool, how would he be animated though, he never really talks or anything of the sort, and the rest at least have sprites that are similar to that.
@@randomyoutuber2633 if he talked in hurt sounds, and he used items from the game that the narrator speaks over like a speed up pill, that would be 10X better. I'd imagine he would be drawn similarly to Frisk because they also come from a 2D bullet hell game where the player walks in 4 cardinal directions
I love this so much! I've beaten all of these games except for Hollow Knight (I'll get around to it I swear), and seeing all these indie gaming icons interact is really cool, feels a lot like the Subspace Emissary from Brawl. All the characters were represented so well, loved the dynamic between Cuphead and Shovel Knight. And as someone who's played way more UT/DR than the other games I loved all the attention to detail with frisk like having a crazy high power level after the genocide route of 38 million, 38 being 2 times the LV 19 you get at the end of the route. So much polish and care put into this
There is a possibility for Sash Lilac (in her Freedom Planet 2 look) to appear in a future episode in this series (she is an indie character), but I won't expect her to appear in the next episode, that would be cramming characters (and I don't want to be doing that). Incredible animation, btw.
@@antonitocotter447 you know that is the fandom who says that firks is "possesed " by chara right ? because in the canon the player is the one responsible,thats probably also why they just attacked before dying, they were not mobing because the player didn't really cared. and if you ask,yes the player is canon to undertale,it has been stated .
The Knight is absolutely my favorite character, they’re just horrendously funny to watch. Plus the little bow they gave to Madeline was incredible, I’ll enjoy my two favorite games working together (Celeste and Hollow Knight). Also, this was INCREDIBLE!! Loved every second of it, good work!
Also I just realized that although The Hollow Knight is dead, we don’t see The Infection being contained or cut off at the source. Radiance cameo maybe..? Not likely, but holding out hope, especially considering the fact that it looks like the infection followed the Shade into the portal.
@@Charger-mations If they did they would have been contained but because frisk killed them in the process when they respawned the infection already mostly went into the portal so they couldn't absorb it
This is absolutely wonderful!! I've never seen such a cool concept. I love the fact that Shovel Knight is being recognized after a long time, considering he is practically the father of the modern indie games. I'd love to see more of this, it's wonderful!
Subspace emissary but for indie characters? Oh yeah, this is my new favorite thing. Lol but seriously this is insane. The animation, the voice acting, the fight choreography, art in its purest form. I'm looking forward to where this series goes
Did not expect this level of grandeur, the characters act right, the voices are really good, the plot is solid, this has passion and love written all over it.
As a fan of Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Cuphead, I really think this animated series is incredible! The choreography and voice acting are also amazing!❤
That was phenomenal, I mean I couldn't imagine a cross over show with my favorite indie characters looking any better and all feel like the same characters as well. I must be apart of this somehow
I know the Knight didn't talk but reading the captions of him saying "Sup" while Madeline and Badeline stare in horror at the *shade* is way too funny.
I feel like I know you from somewhere
Tengo pendiente ver los subtítulos
Frisk is just -_-
“hey look it’s the FNF guy”
“which one.”
My fav caption was at 5:45
I laughed so hard, like, i did not expect that change-
Super happy writing and voicing the Shovel Knight and Cuphead moments! This came out INSANELY well, you all did an incredible job!! ❤
You truly know how to voice a heroic shovel swinging knight and a zany cartoon cup
must have been painful voicing two characters constantly talking to each other without using the other one's voice
A doubt how you managed to do and are making their voices look and made as if they really were like that and were with them like that
YOOOOOO DAGAMES MUSIC BANGERS
Wait.. You voiced the knight?
Dang your voicing is dope man
I love how everyone unanimously agrees that The Knight canonically bows to show respect.

OH
Shit i didn't noticed that!!! I think this implies Frisk has some kind of Sans PTSD
Frisk is obviously just trying to complete a Genocide Run...
Seems like sans won for once, probably in his nightmare form
@@StormVesselno nightmare forms are not canon here.
I find it really cute on how knight bows to Madeline. There is probably gonna be a lot of awesome and cute moments where Madeline and knight interact.
Those two star in my first Metroidvania, so this interaction is pure fanservice
Although the bow indicates emotion, which is not the best implication for the "hollow" aspect of the knight. If you've played HK you know what happened the last time a vessel showed emotion. Doesnt really matter for this series tho
Madeline being in this and hearing those familiar motifs fill me with more joy then I could ever describe, I absolutely love she’s in this with my favorite track as well.
I squealed with joy when Madeline showed up. I love Celeste so damn much
@@JD-lc3vr i basically did the same thing except i was just really excited i was gonna be really sad if frisk murdered them
@@haydenireland2006 same but with frisk
@JD i also found the motifs like badelines intro in resurrections when running away from frisk and first steps when meeting hollow night
I just liked her being chased down by frisk tbh thanks to that I finally understand how underrated frisk is like jfc
I'm glad I finnally see Madeline and Badeline in a place other than the game!
(6:46)
I have yet to watch this in full, having only skimmed through a few clips, but I REALLY hope Risk of Rain gets some representation in future episodes. Seeing the brothers of Petrichor V opposing each other or even being forced to work together against a greater force would be a sight to behold, not to mention potentially hearing Risk of Rain inspired music.
Still, as an indie game lover, I really do think this is the coolest shit regardless of who makes it in. My personal favorite duo (trio?) is Madeline and the Knight- Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time, and Celeste is really fun in its own right too. Seeing Madeline react to the Knight's silent mannerisms is really fun.
Keep up the good work!
Same, indie games are the best games to ever exist but having them all cross like this is why I watch Moro, so interesting
MORØ is his own studio. Literally everything he makes is so high quality and this just episode just proves it. Not only was the animation and voice acting incredible, but it's also almost 20 minutes long! Thank you MORØ and everyone who worked on this and still working on more episodes to come.
I love this it shows how dangerous and powerful the indie characters really are when their no longer shackled by the laws of their respective games, especially Cuphead. If he got access to all of his abilities at once, then he really is a menace.
The amount of spam he would be able to do
Wait does the knight have to worry about soul
imagine the knight with all charms (excluding ones like pet charms and joni's blessing)
I would have said chara is now thr strongest in this state but they lack movement. What if the knight could use the wings infinitely? What if they've no need for soul to cast spells? But then again in that case cuphead could infinitely cast the invincibility powerup, so i think they still have their limitations, or else cuphead wouldn't have lost to shovel knight and the hollow knight wouldnt have fallen
@@Techmoblad an anti-lgbtq user on a series that has canonically lgbtq characters? that doesn't make any sense
Shovel night: your a flask
Cup head: IM A CUP
that got me dieing lol
This is so perfect! The animation, the voice work, the character writing, the humor, all amazing! And while there are characters I would like to see (like the messenger, for example) I’d be more than satisfied with just the cast shown in this episode
I absolutely adore how the characters are represented here. I don't think Cuphead would be able to take as many hits as he did but I love how he acts here.
I'm Fairly Certain that Shovel Knight was holding back to not kill a dude he just met.
Also their health bars kinda work differently in this dimension since when Shovel Knight was first fighting the robot (at 2:30) he was shown to only have one piece of health left but he was still fine after getting a ton of damage by it and Cuphead (whose personality accurately reflects his Netflix cartoon).
@@MrStyro yeah and in cuphead it's supposed to be 3 hits and he's out.
There is a bot in the comments so please warn people and report the account
My only problem with Cuphead is that he can somehow cough up blood, like he's a fucking cup he shouldn't have blood
13:49
This scene gave me so much chill, the way Frisk is still fighting and straight up limping with that lifeless stare even after being Mutilated and still putting up a fight, and that music added to it makes it so much more chilling
Chara’s gonna come in one of these and I know it
@@Rubentemira it's bound to happen, maybe in a few episodes, Chara will fully take over Frisk's body
What is the name of the music
@@UnitedStatesOfJupiter idk the remix version but the original music is called "Megalo Strikes Back"
Ok, i was looking for the remix but thanks anyways
I can’t believe that a mod, Easter eggs from previous videos and inside the mod itself would bring such a good series
Dude. This is so well made! One thing that i will never forget in this indie cross animation is that frisk just came here. And also no talking like in the original undertale game! Can't wait for a skeleton to judge a kid because of they're 19 Level....
Edit: 13:55 That is just an amazing detail! Never realize megalo strike back was here! Probably chara controlled frisk so that the music got triggered.
Knight doing a little bow before Madeline has to be the cutest thing ive seen in a while and probably my highlight of the video ngl
Me too they are adorable togther

As the nailmasters say.. Bama!
I also love how Madeline is just like :D after
I ship them
As someone whose favorite games are Hollow Knight and Celeste, I absolutely adore Knight and Madelline together. AND CAN I JUST SAY THE WAY THE KNIGHT BOWED AFTER MADELLINE SAVED THEM, AND THEN THE SMILE FROM MADELLINE, I JUST CAN'T, IT'S TOO CUTE AND TOO AWESOME.
Astonishing job
The veritable queen and... genderless monarch of modern indie platformers.
They're so cute TvT
@@greenhydra10 Wasn't the Knight the king of Hallownest for a while?
@@RushWheeler the knight and the siblings (or voidlings as I like to call them) are all genderless.
The knight does obtain the king's mark, and as such becomes (technically) king. but due to it being genderless, some people give it the title "monarch" instead
I also liked how the knight and Madeline interact, it was great!
This is phenomenal! I cannot wait to see more, there is so much potential in this as a series, I cannot wait to see how this grows and evolves over time!
Jesus Christ the animation is stellar and the way Moro used both character weapons and details outside of there own game is incredible10/10
Moro you absolute freaking legend. This is probably the fastest I've ever fell in love with a show. All of my favorite indie stars in one show AND it is INCREDIBLY animated? This is everything I can ask for! I can't get enough of the voice acting too, this is literally such perfect casting!

F'unk Rice NOW THE HUGE GH WERE LOL WEATHER PLY
I love that you paired up Madeline with Knight. Despite having little screen time, their interactions are perfect. Plus, the duo makes sense given their games revolve heavily around platforming and climbing. Also, Madeline and Badeline's voices are PERFECT.
They have so much in come
Their friends now (:
Yo i loved madelines voice considering they were the first indie platformer i played and yes the voices for them were PERFECT!
Also fyi in the credits you can hear a remixed mirror temple

Fantastic work. Very high quality interpretations of each of these characters! The animation is also phenomenal!
Such a pipedream but I would love to see Tim from Braid make an appearance as one of my favorite puzzle platformers.
cup head and shovel knight's interactions were hilarious.
Shovel knight getting some respect finally. He was one of the first “mainstream” indie games and introduced a lot of people to the genre. Guy should be the most experienced one there.
Edit: gadzooks, shovelry sure Is popular
Yeah see looks new Animation.
69 likes nice
Nvm there more likes now
Shovelknight is one of my first platform games, and I loved my time on it
Guy's the star of my favorite franchise. I can't help but share in that excitement over him.
This series is going to be a situation where everyone else focuses on finding a way out.
but then we have the speechless determined child who goes like "Ooooo, free exp.", I can't wait for part 2.
Imagine if frisk gets enough LOVE to summon chara.
@@newstickyanimations3956 that IS chara, they've got the real knife so they've done the many murders.
This is by far the best thing I have ever came across and I am covered in goosebumps 🎉
Holy crap. This is amazing. Can’t wait for EP 2
So glad to see Celeste being included.
I know, right?! I love the game!
@@lilyaka9194 Same
I wasn't thinking a game without any actual combat would be part of something like this. If so i'm hoping for Niko oneshot (tho all they can do is walk so uh) or Lily from Spiritfarer.
Yeah I ship Madeline and Badeline too
@@thegoldendiamond6762 But they're part of the same person. And to be honest, I don't ship it.
Praying Peppino gets a role in the next one, his unique move-set would be incredible to see on screen.
we gotta get gustavo and brick as well in that case
v1 from Ultrakill would be sick
@@coolwhip310 add snick the porcupine and make him and gustavo have some kind of rivalry because, yknow, theyre like sonic and mario.
@@quarrelsomeness1659 I’d like to see a matchup between him and bendy, a beast that can’t bleed, but most certainly be parried, vs a machine made to kill demons

Seeing Hollow knight, Madeline, Frisk and Shovel knight being shown in modern animation is absolutely dream. Really excite to watch more of Indie Cross😊😁
Indie cross show >>>>>> Super Mid bros
I love how you completely ignored knight.
Edit: Shit I realized I misread it (or the writer of the post is just fuckin’ with me)
@@v0id3d55 which knight I have both hollow and shovel knight if I missed another please let me know🤔😅
@@v0id3d55 pretty sure you mean Cuphead and also I think they omitted him because of the Netflix show
@@tomioluwa1284 One doubts who Madeline is? And the other one with her and had appeared before and was helping her chase the frisk away.
She's from some who but I don't know and an OC
Man, this animator is so underrated, he deserves recognition all over youtube like bigger animators who do such as Alan Becker, Gildedguy, JzBoy, Sr Pelo, Jaiden animations, etc…
About the animation: it is an instant 10/10 it felt like i am watching a movie or some random TV series about indie game characters gathering up to fight against an all powerful army of drones and their leader who is more of an illusionist
One doubt really thinks that the drones are actually that drone and it seems vulnerable and underpowered, is it really a bad guy or a big evil
Absolutely loved it, you dont know how many times ive replayed this❤
cant wait for episode 2
I love the kind of subspace emissary vibe. absolutely awesome seeing the other characters interact
I hope we get to see more of Madeleine and The Knight hanging out. I feel like they would have a pretty good friendship.
Idk dawg, The Knight doesn't have much of a personality. The whole "No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering." Thing is pretty damning when it comes to that kind of thing.
@@annoy4nce648 well the knight does have a will because they have the void heart, and do you think they could really wield a sword if they didn't have a mind
@@ianjohns5701not to mention knowledge of how currency works and what charms are useful in what scenarios etc…
So I don’t think PK really thought through his seal the radiance plan very well.
@@annoy4nce648 tbf i dont think the knight is a perfect vessel. he still shows some emotion or at least a mind. so i can see him being kind of like a unattached from reality infant with the skills of a blademaster if you stretch that enough lol
This is so awesome I love the fight so good. The choreography and the references to the series are amazing. Hats off to the voice actors
definitely want to see more of Shovel Knight and his new best friend the magic Flask
E
A CUP!!!!!
Holy moly hello scout the dog didn’t expect to see u here
I'm a Cup!!!!!!!
The Knight: Sup
This was wonderful, the animation, the character, the way they are introduced into the story is very good
Yo this subspace emissary update goes crazy!
but fr- great animation, music, voice acting, i loved everything
I cant wait for Peppino Spaghetti to appear in episode 2 and tell the cast; "Don't you get it? Its time." And then Cuphead replies with, "Time? Time for what?" and then Peppino turns around and tells them "Its Pizza Time..." as he looks solemnly into the distance. Best part of the whoke series.
Peppino in this series would be legendary
Jaja, me preguntó cómo interactuarian esos dos?
All jokes aside though i really hope we see peppino in this series
What about Isaac and omori?
@@MomijiLeaf *sey sike right now*
Cuphead has to be my favourite character in this animation, Every single time he laughed when shovel knight said "mugsie" was so in character! I can't wait to see episode 2!!!
"GREAT HEAVENS IS THAT NOT HIS NAME?! YEE JESTER OF YONDER, I WILL SMITE YOU DOW-"
Yes we really need episode two ❤🎉
Its people like YOU
MORØ who might just bring back the better times of the internet.
Cant wait for episode 2
(And yes i already react this video 10 months ago that i forgot too comment this)
Despite Celeste's popularity, there has never been a truly quality animation depicting her
At least that was until now, because this (for me) does cover that missing piece in the fandom, although it's not exclusive to her
My only problem is the character acts extremely out of character compared to the game
@@moltengears7483 What is Madeline's character in Celeste?
@@moltengears7483 yeah she's really confident and brave plus how is badeline here because they arent at the mountain
@@moltengears7483 I recognize that the movements are not well done, but they could be due to several factors
The most accurate thing that occurs to me is due to ignorance, which is understandable, since among all the characters, she is the one with the least general impact.
In the same way, it would not be good to ask for perfection, since it is the 1st time that she has been seen with an admirable quality, although I still hope that her movements improve
Personally, I only came to see this animation because of her, because all the others already have (maybe I'm wrong with someone) a lot of repercussion (and sometimes it's tiring to see so many of these), and giving prominence to some smaller ones feels good, he deserves them
@@lemonomical I am surprised that she is the only one who has not been given a reason for her arrival in those lands, but we will not know those questions until they are explained
In the meantime, we can just enjoy what we have, and see if we get those answers in the future
Never in my life did I think I would NEED in see an Indie Games Spider-verse. The animation, sound effects, choreography everything is frighteningly perfect
ES GOD
If it was like spider verse then fnf boyfriend would be the main character.
BF has either already escape after the mod or he hasn't arrived yet.
You people wouldn't believe how many times I've rewatched the masterpiece if episode one was this good then I bet episode two all be amazing
This is amazing, probably the best fan animation I've ever seen in my whole life

I have no words for this it’s just THAT good!
If Isaac from TBOI ever makes a cameo in Indie Cross, I'd literally pause the video on the frame he appears and point to the video for 5 minutes straight like "HE DID THE THING!"
Jaajjaja
That would be pretty cool, how would he be animated though, he never really talks or anything of the sort, and the rest at least have sprites that are similar to that.
@@randomyoutuber2633 if he talked in hurt sounds, and he used items from the game that the narrator speaks over like a speed up pill, that would be 10X better. I'd imagine he would be drawn similarly to Frisk because they also come from a 2D bullet hell game where the player walks in 4 cardinal directions
@@thehexofficial True.
I love this so much! I've beaten all of these games except for Hollow Knight (I'll get around to it I swear), and seeing all these indie gaming icons interact is really cool, feels a lot like the Subspace Emissary from Brawl. All the characters were represented so well, loved the dynamic between Cuphead and Shovel Knight. And as someone who's played way more UT/DR than the other games I loved all the attention to detail with frisk like having a crazy high power level after the genocide route of 38 million, 38 being 2 times the LV 19 you get at the end of the route. So much polish and care put into this
Wait MYSTICAL SLIME!!!
I’ve beat none of them except hollow knight

There is a possibility for Sash Lilac (in her Freedom Planet 2 look) to appear in a future episode in this series (she is an indie character), but I won't expect her to appear in the next episode, that would be cramming characters (and I don't want to be doing that).
Incredible animation, btw.

Amazing animation and voice acting I can't wait for part 2!
I liked it when Madeline asked Frisk on how to get out of there, Frisk really had a solution ready didn't they?

and if you ask,yes the player is canon to undertale,it has been stated .

The Knight is absolutely my favorite character, they’re just horrendously funny to watch. Plus the little bow they gave to Madeline was incredible, I’ll enjoy my two favorite games working together (Celeste and Hollow Knight). Also, this was INCREDIBLE!! Loved every second of it, good work!
Also I didn’t realize the knight used balder shell to block Cupheads shot 14:13
@@Charger-mations That’s true! Nice observation.
Also I just realized that although The Hollow Knight is dead, we don’t see The Infection being contained or cut off at the source. Radiance cameo maybe..? Not likely, but holding out hope, especially considering the fact that it looks like the infection followed the Shade into the portal.
@@Enchanted_Emerald probably the knight contained most of the infection because they where staring at the infection
@@Charger-mations If they did they would have been contained but because frisk killed them in the process when they respawned the infection already mostly went into the portal so they couldn't absorb it
Alright! I am now hooked on this!
this is the best animation ive seen in a very long time everything about it was great
This is absolutely wonderful!! I've never seen such a cool concept. I love the fact that Shovel Knight is being recognized after a long time, considering he is practically the father of the modern indie games. I'd love to see more of this, it's wonderful!
And I love seeing him get a voice and 2d instead of pixel art
Subspace emissary but for indie characters? Oh yeah, this is my new favorite thing.
