Maine/The Meta was such a badass character. Dude had the durability and strength of a frickin tank. He blew himself and Tex up and still came back to stab her in the face, WHO GETS UP FROM THAT?!
I like how they pair Wash & Meta to fight Tex. Wash isn't really an outstanding freelancer per se, but he was the jack of all trades, perfect standard soldier kind of straight B+ Freelancer. Coupled with the extreme durability of Meta who can take multiple hits from Tex and still going, it's only a matter of time they find a crack in Tex's defense or outlast Tex in combat.
1:24-1:30 is one of the coolest sequences ever. If Washington didn't grab her gun, she could have shot at them as they were running up, which would have ended them both. Monty is a genius.
Notice that once Wash snatches Tex's BR she is forced to get more aggressive despite trying to run away and let the avalanche catch them. She throws a hunk of ice at Wash to stop him aiming, then as soon as he recovers she throws Maine at him.
Wash and Meta were on the lower end of the Freelancer program back in the day. In training Tex would have annihilated them. But weirdly here she actually seems to have made them even more lethal by pushing them to the brink.
When you look at the Freelancers' early days, to think that Wash and the Meta, fighting side by side, would be fighting Tex of all people, in her last real battle, and actually giving her a run for her money despite her rigging the whole battlefield in her favour. It's just so damn insane and I love it.
In a RvB song "On Your Knees" it basically says that Texas is the strongest. Don't seem like the strongest when she was dead long before and now a spike through her face. This proves one of two things. 1st Everyone was wrong on Wash being the worst fighter. 2nd Maine either held back in training, he got stronger or Tex got weaker. She WAS killed again by Donut with a Plasma Grenade thrown halfway across Blood Gulch, Donut of all people.
Tex represents failure. No matter how much she tries she’s destined to fail. Wash & Maine/Meta both improved overtime ever since of the aftermath of Project Freelancer. Although, Delta did stated that there were still better Agent’s than Wash (Recovery: Ep3)
Despite this being one of Monty's first works with RT, I still think this is probably the best fight scene he ever made, if not definitely one of them. To this day I still can't imagine all the work that went into this, between the fluid fight choreography and animation and the characters bouncing around on a bunch of falling pillars and rocks at different elevations. Just perfect
Personal fav has to be the Fight on the Highway durring the Heist. Such a perfect use of the environment, plus the background work AND the use of space
i love that shot of those shittily photoshopped bombs right before tex starts the avalanche. this show was jank as hell but god the action really holds up
He did still have all that armor equipment picked up from the other Freelancers he killed though. I think Maine became addicted, and once the AI were destroyed it left a hole that only gaining more power could fill
"She died in her real life and that's all the director ever remembered of her. So now. No matter how tough she is. No matter hard she fights. She's always going to fail because that's what she's based on. No matter what she's doing, or what she's trying to accomplish just when her goal is within her reach. It gets yanked away. Every. Single. Time."
I never really understood this logic though, either some subroutine in Tex purposely caused her to fail or magic just exists and Tex is straight up cursed like Qrow in RWBY. I love the idea, but I just don't get how it would work in this setting with this character (an AI) specifically.
@@nagger8216she was inadvertently programmed with a self-sabotaging mechanism intrinsic to her nature. She can never win because she wasn’t programmed as a winner
@@maikamcnairy9545 yeah but didn’t she kick York, Wyoming and Meta’s ass during Freelancer training, not to mention being able to successfully storm the ‘mother of invention’ with only the help of York. Even then she was the top dog of the Freelance Program where even Carolina said she stood no chance against her. Perhaps what he was meaning was Epsilon-Tex, the one made from Epsilon’s memory while BETA was much more skilled and not prone to self defeating mechanics.
@@f.ggaming8206 she’s strong she’s smart she is capable problem is it’s her fate to always lose in the end. It’s like basically running a track and field but every time you are about to win your trip at the last second every single time.
@@nagger8216I kind of understood it like this: Church/Alpha is effectively a copy of the director’s entire person, through a futuristic brain scan thing. Tex/beta was created as a byproduct of Alpha, presumably a copy of the director’s memory of Allison; then his obsession with Allison’s death would be effectively intrinsic to her very being, hence Tex always failing. The confusing part to me is how the director’s memory of Allison managed to split off a full, albeit dysfunctional, AI. The process is supposed to be based on Halsey making Cortana out of herself through a brain mapping thing in the Halo games.
Monty was the John Woo of animated fisticuffs. Every fight he made was unrelentingly frenetic, had exception choreography and never relied on choppy camerawork. He had a real talent for this sort of thing. Also let’s not forget Jeff with this beautifully action packed score. Man RT really used to be something weren’t they?
How in the hell did RVB Rooster Teeth make amazing badass fight scenes…but Halo or Bungie couldn’t make a more intense fight between Master Chief and Locke??
Because rooster teeth loved their series and 343 hated halo. You can tell even their earliest episodes had love out into them but 343 was always trying to reinvent halo into their own game.
To be fair, rooster teeth hasn't had the best animation since Monty unfortunately passed away either, the tex versus Carolina fight in the temple season for
Because Monty Oum, the guy that made these fight sequences, was a large part of the reason why people were attracted to these shows. By season 9, half the season was action sequences mixed with classic RvB stuff, as opposed to one fight scene in Halo 5. That said, that scene was still shit and had terrible choreography, but my point is that RT hired a guy to help create a whole new era of RT and internet entertainment, as opposed to two assholes just fighting in a game. Monty was too good for 343 and Halo 5, basically
I miss monty
In the end, Washington and Maine were able to beat Tex. Carolina must have been jealous XD
that was the best fight ever
Maine/The Meta was such a badass character. Dude had the durability and strength of a frickin tank. He blew himself and Tex up and still came back to stab her in the face, WHO GETS UP FROM THAT?!
Still one of the best fight sequences ive seen
Anyone else recon metta was still sore after the training mission?
she was so badass
Watching this back years after my childhood is bringing back so many memories.
God this season of Red Vs Blue will always be my fave
Esto definitivamente es cine 🗿👍
Awesome and great 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
0:17
pinnacle
They made every second count with the choreography.
Still one of (if not the most) underrated fights in the series.
Still one of the best fights Monty ever choreographed
1:42 this move has lived rent free in my head for a decade

An accurate depiction of a Spartan 2 vs two Spartan 4s.
But they win lol
@@nagger8216 Only cause she actually got shot. Plus other fated issues
1:24-1:30 is one of the coolest sequences ever. If Washington didn't grab her gun, she could have shot at them as they were running up, which would have ended them both. Monty is a genius.
thats such a good catch, I never noticed that till you said it
Eh, this isn't RedvsBlue. That show ended when the simulation did. Well done fight scene though.
Notice that once Wash snatches Tex's BR she is forced to get more aggressive despite trying to run away and let the avalanche catch them. She throws a hunk of ice at Wash to stop him aiming, then as soon as he recovers she throws Maine at him.

I just realized that Tex pot buster’d the meta.
1:21 literally the best part 🔥🔥
Monty just had that IT factor dude... Dude had style on style and knew how to tell a story with it.
Fights like these make me miss Monty Oum R.I.P Brother😢

To be honest I think his peak was in the RWBY trailer reveals. Red and Yellow are just so KINO
@@omarrojo9484 Art direction wise? Definitely the Red trailer. But in terms of fight choreography this is very close to taking the cake.
of all time
Back when RVB was actually good... So much nostalgia..
my god we need more oum style animated fights RIP king
i love that shot of those shittily photoshopped bombs right before tex starts the avalanche. this show was jank as hell but god the action really holds up
Of all time
My boi Maine had no ai and he was fucking shit up....
He did still have all that armor equipment picked up from the other Freelancers he killed though. I think Maine became addicted, and once the AI were destroyed it left a hole that only gaining more power could fill

To be fair, RT’s modern animation is about on par with, if not worse than Halo 5’s shuffle fuck slap fest.

Bungie didn't do locke vs chief.
When rvb shifts from gameplay to animation you know shits about to get real
Tex is Batman🤣
0:10 Meta. Remember the basics of CQC
Washington could have possibly rivaled Carolina if he was this serious the entire time the Freelancer program was active
2:00 anyone know the song?
it's called ice fight, hope it helps if you didn't find it on your own already
Meta = unstoppable force of nature that only got beaten by the biggest idiots in the universe
Was so stoked when The Meta showed Tex truly who was the most badass Freelancer
2:06 most epic thing ever
