  • Thank you all for watching!! Make sure to keep our channel tradition and spread as many convincing fake spoilers as possible below in the comments to prevent scroller from getting spoiled!
  • Mario is Honestly having the Worst luck (Despite that stat when fully leveled up that makes him dodge attacks 97% of the time i think). He gets blasted through a building and the worst beating and eventually sent to a Prison Dimension on his BIRTHDAY. Hopefully he will find a way out.
  • I love how close your post-analysis always puts the fighters in Smash Bracket and Crossover Colosseum, gives a lot of respect to both of the characters and makes it feel more fair and enjoyable to watch for everyone. That animation was also incredible, and the pre-analysis was also edited very nicely. Excellent work as always, one of your best videos yet!

    That was such a wacky battle, it felt so unreal towards the end. Loved every part of this. Hope Crossover Coliseum grows just as much as the Smash Bracket.
  • @amazaine8743
    You know, one thing I would have to give the most props to is the Voice actor for Sonic. Damn, it sounds so good and I could tell he went for a more "Jason Griffth" soundling voice for Super and Ultra Sonic.
  • @palmtree2711
    This was really well done. Archie had way more history behind him than I ever thought he would, and that ending clash was hype as hell. Really looking forward to the next time!
  • @The_XnXlXzXr
    God... I can tell you genuinely care about both characters, your analysis and respect for both series are a sight to behold and I genuinely can't wait to see where you'll go. Super hyped for the next battle. Consider me a fan!
  • "Beams of light? You're gonna have to go faster than that." Is such a raw line.
  • Mario: Kicks a castle Smash Bracket: "No way, that's clearly an outlier made for a gag." Paper Mario: Summons a planet sized fan that reverses Earth's rotation Crossover Colosseum: "Makes sense to us." In all seriousness though, this is a really fun episode. Looking forward to the next one!

    Holy cow, this series is back with a BANG! It's not perfect but the amount of effort and passion from everyone working on it really shows! From the editing and how in depth the analysis is, to the animation having great use of Paper Mario's powers (albeit limited) as well as great visuals, a solid track, and Sonic's speed and voice acting being well executed (though I would've liked just as much use of his powers as Mario), to the post analysis covering not just stats but the characters' personality and tactics. Overall a solid 8/10. If it was a season finale it would've been even better, and definitely outdid Sephiroth vs Bill by a fair bit. Great job, and looking forward to the next episode.
  • Genuinely surprised some things for Archie weren't mentioned that tilted the fight even more in his favor, like the Cosmic Interstate speed feats, the billion ring aura that would've protected him from transmutations, the various multiversal level opponents, the dismissal of Fate Manip would probably drive a lot of people crazy, and Ultra Sonic's matter manip was scarecly touched on, etc etc. I think the fight is a lot less fair than it was depicted here, but regardless, the animation came out really fun and enjoyable, the writing for the analysis sections are also paced decently as well, your series' are definitely improving as time goes on.
  • Even though Sonic won, there are still gonna be a bunch of losers who'll go "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT ARCHIE SONIC AT OUTERVERSAL" lmao. He still won, so just roll with it, no pun intended. And appreciate the animation while you're at it.
  • @sonicmaario
    So basically a fat plumber made out of paper completely destroys a blue mutant hedgehog's lunch, but then he gets sent to a dimension were only darkness awaits. And to make it worse, it was paperboi's BIRTHDAY.
  • @MegaMark500
    This may be one of the best premieres in all of Vs show history. I loved how wacky and insane the fight got, and the gradual progression of the fight felt so right. I can't wait to see what the rest of Crossover Colosseum looks like!

    12:40 "Dislikes: Sticking with the same perfect gameplay style" Somebody clearly has a favorite part of the series. And I agree

    An absolutely stellar battle! The usage of arsenals, choreography, amazing animation and just fun of this fight is fantastic with some beautiful music. I genuinely learned so much more about Paper Mario and Archie Sonic, Paper Mario especially had like WAAAAAY more stuff then I could possibly imagine. I loved Archie Sonics voice and character portrayal it was perfect and genuinely sounds damn near like Jason Griffith, especially the “you’re gonna have to go faster than that!” Line because it’s just gives such werehog energy and I love it. This channel is honestly something that can rival and definitely surpass that of DEATH BATTLE! (and I love death battle!) This is genuinely leaps and bounds above Archie Sonic Vs Wally West. A beautifully well crafted battle, fantastic music, an informative and fun analysis and post analysis, and it was just an absolute joy to watch! 10/10!
  • You guys did an amazing job on this episode, you can feel the passion and effort put into every corner of it, so glad y’all took the time to make sure this one was complete
  • @Sol_Z
    This is such an amazing episode! You’ve definitely improved A LOT on editing and it was fun to watch the analysis on both characters and the animations was FANTASTIC, you do not know how satisfied I am with this episode!
