I've seen this quite a few times already since yesterday and I've refrained from commenting simply because I'm at a loss of words. I'm honored to be a part of this community even if just from the shadows. Seeing the love these two kids get is humbling. Saito and aege are who they are because of you guys. Thank you for this. ❤
Ngl, you and DS are the reason I just graduated college to be an Animator, I watched you guys since I was 11! Also is there anyway you could get the Kirby's Quest website back up again? I never got to read the whole thing.
Hadn't noticed your comment until now. Thanks to YOU for shaping childhoods /teenage years of many animators including me. I remember watching you and DS' work 10 years ago (along with the og kirb animators) and I'm very happy to have been able to participate in this and contribute to keep your legacy going! (btw I'm the guy who animated the finale lol)
@@chestercheetoe2397 i would love to put kirby's quest back up, but its a relic of its time. if i were to put it out again it'll be very controversial in this world we live in today lol. things back in 2010 were a whole lot different
@@ElementalAndFlorchy im happy i was able to spark that creativity in you and that you followed it. i can say you're a whole lot more skilled that i am. would love to see where your potential takes you. go out there and show them who you are
@@LoneAlchemist Understandable, thanks for the full transparency man. Out of curiosity, how did Saito get his wings and tail again, wasn't it because he got cursed by a mage or something along those lines ?
4:30 lost my fuckign mind, the fact that everyone made a collab for the two biggest rivals in this community's history is so amazing, y'all popped OFF.
Unironically my new favourite video on the entirety of the platform, these 2 are and will remain THE Kirby OCs, none of the others are as iconic (except maybe for Quote)
Crazy to think that I was probably like 9 years old watching these little goobers beat the shit out of each other and here I am, years later, still watching them fight at 24. This collab was insane, props to all these animators for pushing their animation skills further and further beyond.
Wow what an amazing Kirby sprite animation! This shows how far techniques have blossomed over the past 15 years. This in a true super high speed, smooth 3-D in 2-D experience. I like the details of the fight like Saito taking Aege to the sky thinking he was going to have an advantage only to have Aege surprisingly start dominating the fight at that point. Then to have the tables turn yet again because in lore Aege is not particularly in good shape for a Kirby character so he tires out and Saito takes control. Only to then have the cumulative battle damage they both took turn the battle to a back and forth attrition that ended in the only satisfying conclusion: both Saito and Aege taking a nice little nap. "Just like old times, huh?" That's right Kirby and we would not want it any other way. Excellent sprite animation collab!
Thank you Lonalk and DestructionSeries for playing a large portion to everyone's passion for sprite animating to this day. I recall my own times of being really young and watching the old Aege and Saito shenanigans. It was also nice to be able to get in touch with you two on a personal level on the times we could. I hope the both of you are doing well in whatever stage of life you're in. All of us here wish only the best for you, as thanks for inspiring all of us. And thanks to the participants as well! Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it! And special thanks to the private participants for being willing to stay on the down low for the surprise! I hope it was worth the effort in the end! Have a good day everyone!
Aege and Saito will truly live on. Thanks for having me in the collab! I gotta thank SquirrelKidd for hopping on along side when I rushed my part really fast. Another note, I'm actually pretty glad I developed the Aege sheet that was currently used in this collab. Seeing it used at its fullest is awesome! I'm sure the limitations would've been harder with the older Aege sheet haha. Other than my rambling, thank you for putting together this collab and thanks to all the other animators who worked on this and just had fun. We are the kirby sprite animators after all!
it is 2024 and the Kirby Sprite animations, _and sprite animations as a whole,_ I loved as a child have only gotten better at the style expression and choreography and far more tactical with their mid-fight gags and memes, it's genuinely beautiful to watch.
Holy shit! I remember seeing those two in fan animations years ago. Man does the time go by. Props to the animators for showing off their abilities in creative and fun ways! Huh, never knew that Saito had Japanese Pit voice clips this whole time...
HOLY SHIT. This brought me back to the hype for Kirby animations. This has inspired me to get back in the sprite grind now and maybe animate again! P.S. Please get this man Elemental a restaurant.
Man i'm so glad this community still exists. As soon as things seem to die down, every now and again, a gem like this pops up reminding me of the good ol times when LoneAlchemist, DestructionSeries, and everyone else used to upload more stuff like this more often, which was way back when I was a kid (or I'm just missing a bunch of stuff). The kirby OC community shall not DIE!!!
I grew up watching Aege and Saito since from 2012-2013, and seeing this once again puts a smile on my face, thank you for this amazing piece of work pulled off, really. I know of a few who did ask on the relevance of my current photo with the stuff I do these days, but its still always there as a part of my memory that made me what I am these days. Hopefully this also makes me wanting for more of these kinds of content to watch in the near future...
Okay, now this is an incredible collab! Amazing work to everyone involved here! 4:304:47 fr tho, I just HAVE to know how those perspective shots were pulled off, as my jaw actually dropped when watching this for the first time!
It was a pleasure to work on this collab! Great job to everyone who participated, especially Elemental. I bet this collab is boutta bring so much motivation for future animations.
Congratz on getting the collab done Souljun! I remember you messaging me about the planning and I'm glad everything turned out the way it did. Participants went off and I think the entire .fla share turned out amazing!
everyone's part was awesome and fun to watch but gees Elemental you were insane, been watching deathbattles and maple animations for years and that was the most fun I had yet! keep it up king!!
Bro, I've been a part of this community longer than I've been in any other one, including mainstream media. To see these two characters, who I've known since I was 7-8, duke it out now when I'm 17... "Just like old times"... it's the best thing to start my year with. Thank you.
This was just so damn good and fun haha. You guys are great, this nostalgic feeling man 10+ years later at this point. Two of the biggest KFC OGs going at it. Hats off guys, that was amazing ❤
I’m gonna say this I tried to get into sprite animation but of course lack of free time has basically made me always fall off but when I see stuff like this and the love this community has put into projects I can’t help but try again
Ahh yes the EPIC Kirb battle of the ages is here. Two Veterans duking it out to see who came on top. I really do have a nostalgia for seeing these two (plus Kirby) doing some wacky adventure or just fighting each other. I do really appreciate watching this and I bet both Lone and DS are very proud seeing this. I think everyone did an amazing job (if your part did not then I still like your involvement) doing this collab. From both the new Gen and the old Gen of animators I can’t say more just… Amazing job guys! 🥲
This collab takes me back to the old days, watching Aege and Saito beat the hell out of each other in many different scenarios. Everyone did so good, not only with the animation, but with taking into account each of their abilities. Nicely done!
these kinds of videos were my childhood, i've watched lone and DS constantly in early 2010 and maybe even before that. As a kid I loved these two characters, and would help me build and make my own original characters So cool to see these two iconic kirby fan characters represented in such a tremendous fashion. Long live sprite animation!
Back then sprite animations were mostly limited to 2D perspective, but holy shit how you guys have taken it so much further. This was such a nostalgic trip while still making it modern. You all have nothing but my respect. Thank you for bringing back precious memories of why we all fell in love with making Kirby FCs and animating them, and amazing job on this collab. ❤️
This was out of this world on every single front!! Everyone who took part in this went absolutely INSANELY hard! It is straight up surreal seeing something I loved so long ago just still be here, and constantly growing. I'd hoped I'd never forget my love of sprite animations and I never have. This stuff always inspired me to create art and stuff when I was back in middle school and now I've graduated college and I can say that I've grown alot in that regard. I'm so thankful for Destruction Series and Lone Alchemist and every other incredible animator for making such creative content. Thank you to the community for keeping at it!!
I am so late, but it makes me so happy how much this community has endured, I latched onto saito & aege on, what was it the first month of learning youtube existed when I was a kid? seeing them move TODAY is so exhilarating I love all of you so much AAAAAAAAAA
God this collab takes me way back to watching these 2 fight when i was still in like middle school ot was always some of the funniest bits becaise they'd sleays fight cause saito made some dumb joke about aege's mom or something Still dream about making sprite animations myself not even just cause they're cool but just to give back to the community that gave me so much for well over a decade i mean seriously these videos defined my childhood and preteen years

Beautiful collab. So glad to have been a part of this, everybody went OFF
You did a good job in helping this I hope all of you editors do Kirby rushed 5
How haven't I seen this masterpiece yet? This is one of my favorite rivalries in the fandom. Amazing job to all of the animators!
Simply beautiful! The golden era of Kirby flash animations is long gone, but this shines as a beacon of good times to come.
elemental cooked jeez....
Ahhhhh, I missed this kinda thing. ^^ These two were such a huge well of inspiration for me, I always jump at the chance to see them again.

Elemental went all fucking out for the last part because it felt so real rather than some Kirby sprites

Saito reading that light speed attack like a book

Completely agree with all of this
Aege and Saito will truly live on.

The vine boom got me more than it should've.
this brings me back to Etce's Craziest Kirby Fights Ever series.
it is 2024 and the Kirby Sprite animations, _and sprite animations as a whole,_ I loved as a child have only gotten better at the style expression and choreography and far more tactical with their mid-fight gags and memes, it's genuinely beautiful to watch.
I'm witnessing the greatest celebrations of Kirby OC history and sprite animation as a whole. Beautiful collab y'all.
Holy shit! I remember seeing those two in fan animations years ago. Man does the time go by.
Props to the animators for showing off their abilities in creative and fun ways!
Huh, never knew that Saito had Japanese Pit voice clips this whole time...
HOLY SHIT. This brought me back to the hype for Kirby animations. This has inspired me to get back in the sprite grind now and maybe animate again!
P.S. Please get this man Elemental a restaurant.
I have nothing to say except this might be one of the greatest things ive ever seen.
Any video with my glorious king SquirrelSensei has to be a good one, and I was clearly right.
Man i'm so glad this community still exists.

I like Aege. He’s so op but he’s so chill the whole time, like he’s not even trying.
Nah I was NOT expecting this to pop off this hard
I grew up watching Aege and Saito since from 2012-2013, and seeing this once again puts a smile on my face, thank you for this amazing piece of work pulled off, really.

OMGG this was my Childhood!!! I really love Aege and his abilities
This was peak, I'm glad to have joined
It makes me so happy seeing these two live on in the Kirby sprite community
the fire flower is actually godlike
I loved this. It felt like such a wonderful tribute to the Craziest Kirby Fight videos.
Damn, I wish I saw this sooner!
This takes me way back, a beautiful ode to two prolific rivals
It was a pleasure to work on this collab! Great job to everyone who participated, especially Elemental.
I bet this collab is boutta bring so much motivation for future animations.
Congratz on getting the collab done Souljun! I remember you messaging me about the planning and I'm glad everything turned out the way it did. Participants went off and I think the entire .fla share turned out amazing!
Thanks a lot for the advice, it definitely helped out for sure!
Elemental 😳
Damn, this tugs on the heart strings 🥹
I’m sooooooo happy Sprite animation is still alive and well it’s so good this is a masterpiece good job everyone😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
This is the coolest thing ive seen all year

everyone's part was awesome and fun to watch
but gees Elemental you were insane, been watching deathbattles and maple animations for years and that was the most fun I had yet!
keep it up king!!
Eyyy thanks a lot!
Bro, I've been a part of this community longer than I've been in any other one, including mainstream media. To see these two characters, who I've known since I was 7-8, duke it out now when I'm 17... "Just like old times"... it's the best thing to start my year with. Thank you.
That was SICK, what?? Everyone in here did their thing and then some! 10s all around, you guys killed this!
It went off, this goes so HARD
God this was amazing
Amazing collab 10/10 holy shot everyone did great
This was just so damn good and fun haha. You guys are great, this nostalgic feeling man 10+ years later at this point.
Two of the biggest KFC OGs going at it.
Hats off guys, that was amazing ❤
all I see here is saito getting turn into humbled piece of chicken while aege is probably enjoying it
I USED TO WATCH THESE CHARACTERS ALL THE TIME AS A KID!! I CANT BELIEVE THERE’S STILL NEW ANIMATIONS BEING MADE
I’m gonna say this I tried to get into sprite animation but of course lack of free time has basically made me always fall off but when I see stuff like this and the love this community has put into projects I can’t help but try again
Looking nice, SR.
Elemental's cinematography and usage/portaryals of 3D space are absolutely unmatched.
Ahh yes the EPIC Kirb battle of the ages is here. Two Veterans duking it out to see who came on top. I really do have a nostalgia for seeing these two (plus Kirby) doing some wacky adventure or just fighting each other. I do really appreciate watching this and I bet both Lone and DS are very proud seeing this. I think everyone did an amazing job (if your part did not then I still like your involvement) doing this collab. From both the new Gen and the old Gen of animators I can’t say more just… Amazing job guys! 🥲
those two have a lot of stamina :0
This collab takes me back to the old days, watching Aege and Saito beat the hell out of each other in many different scenarios. Everyone did so good, not only with the animation, but with taking into account each of their abilities. Nicely done!
I really love how these animations actually have action. Best part about them, kirby ocs. I would make animations like this but idk how
these kinds of videos were my childhood, i've watched lone and DS constantly in early 2010 and maybe even before that. As a kid I loved these two characters, and would help me build and make my own original characters
So cool to see these two iconic kirby fan characters represented in such a tremendous fashion. Long live sprite animation!
that ending part was clean as hell
This animation is so awesome! I’m so glad that animators got to together to make this wonderful piece of art!
I love that animations like this with these characters are still being made today. Love these characters.
Everyone here snapped. I'm so glad for everyone doing so well with their animation game after so long.
Okay, what are they fighting over this time…
Elemental and JalenBrah went hard on this project! 👏👏👏
Back then sprite animations were mostly limited to 2D perspective, but holy shit how you guys have taken it so much further. This was such a nostalgic trip while still making it modern. You all have nothing but my respect.
Thank you for bringing back precious memories of why we all fell in love with making Kirby FCs and animating them, and amazing job on this collab. ❤️
Peak.
love seeing my childhood return , especially in a collab like this
Holy shit, super clean stuff everyone!
Dude. Dude dude dude.

Well worth the wait, crazy how this was never even intended to be an FLA Share and turned out amazing
Yeah this is flames
100 percent worth the wait. Everyone really cooked an amazing dish.
This was out of this world on every single front!! Everyone who took part in this went absolutely INSANELY hard!
It is straight up surreal seeing something I loved so long ago just still be here, and constantly growing. I'd hoped I'd never forget my love of sprite animations and I never have.

I'm so thankful for Destruction Series and Lone Alchemist and every other incredible animator for making such creative content. Thank you to the community for keeping at it!!
this was cool to work on i am glad souljun let me have a second part near the end
This not being popular is a crime
Who needs Kirby Rushed 5 when we got this
this vid is a blast from the past
I am so late, but it makes me so happy how much this community has endured, I latched onto saito & aege on, what was it the first month of learning youtube existed when I was a kid? seeing them move TODAY is so exhilarating I love all of you so much AAAAAAAAAA
Sheeeeeeeesh. Now this looked like a lot of fun. Awesome job to everyone involved.
This is absolutely cinema, everyone cooked in this 🔥🔥🔥🗣️💯
The amount of effort put into this collab is INSANE. Deserves my applause
Now I want to get into sprite animation. This is beyond awesome

2:53 Am I thinking too much, or was that a Sonic Battle reference there? o .o
I hope saito and aege finally called a truce.
