#minecraft pvp

Oh no! Pvp Jesus! No!

and here's the sketch because sometimes I feel like I love the sketch more, and today is the case! They just feel more dynamic!

It was either this or the two of them with controllers. I was going to make both but, alas, Infume cursed my laptop (the display won't work again, sigh) (I made this on my TV)

Mane and Flame.

Our Blindfold Brothers.

Now if you haven't seen my post speaking about the Imperialfire fighting, I am here to inform you that I am a SUCKERRRR for pvp analysis ESPECIALLY when it goes into characters.

For context, I am watching Flame's new spear training vid and honestly? I really never thought about how like fundamentally deep the bros run.

Mane said it himself, they can't beat each other in a fight. They just cancel out.

Mane's style is speed. He's a dagger in many senses. If he can hit chinks and weak points hard and fast, he's got the upper hand, but if he fails to do so aka quickdrop he is in a predicament for a long term battle. He is the "Movement Master" we see in this vid. He ditches stuff that can slow him down, he is aggressive, and he cares for KILLS over a title like his bro. He's like a myth while Flame is a legend almsot.

Flame is the *Immortal* Demon. He is made to last in battles. He literally drags them out on purpose as a STRATEGY a lot of the time. During his main rivalry with Wemmbu, he did eventually lean into letting Wemmbu exhaust his resources to use his most power attacks. He cares for the reputation; he cares for survival. He'll do a lot of things to survive, and keep his name and title, which is much different than Mane.

I think having these two be brothers and have such opposing combat styles is one of the most genius complex things that UU has given us people. In all instances, their sterotypical powerhouse brothers. Two different styles, two different approaches, personalities, beliefs, yet they make it WORK.

It is much different from Imperialfire (who will forever be my favorite) who has a much more ally/homie relationship. Maybe even younger brotherly at the most. Wemmbu and Flame bicker like young children, always trying to one up each other. You would never think that they'd pull out all their resources to track down the other if need be (no Invis Wemmbu pun intended but lets go with it)

The Blindfold Bros have such a FAMILIARITY with them that can ONLY come from the relationship they have. When Mane says "Just hold, just hold." the previouse people we know that he has said that to (Wemmbu most notably) was like "WTF DO YOU MEAN HOLD" and Flame is USED to that like??

Also, I feel like we're used to Flame being the like calmer one in most fights. I personally can find it hard in some of his videos to pay attention mostly because of like no tonal deviation (and NO hate to the creater like Flame bro your vids are legit fire no pun intended I'm just very easily distractable lol) and so him being the more energetic one between him and Mane?

ABSOLUTE CINEMA (in the words of #1 ragebaiter Boosfer)

ALSO I FEEL INCLINED TO HAVE A WHOLE SECTION TO THIS MOMENT

"You ready bro?"

"Yeah... just like old times."

"Let's go."

Now. Holy. Fucking. Shit.

THE PARALLEL FOR START.

The last time we saw a moment like this with Flame was what, 2v1000??? Like I can even headcannon that he was thinking of that EXACT moment with Wemmbu. Also like then, "Yeah... just like old times." that he was HESITANT to say that because he was afraid Mane was gonna brush it off.

ALSO THE WAY THEY BOTH PREPPED??

Flame threw all his potions up and ate gaps, while Mane just threw a speed and a strength down after. This reflects their styles.

Mane doesn't carry stuff that can slow him down, hence him throwing a speed DOWN. It's a FAST potion AND throwing it down gives him the effect FASTER. He throws strength down almost like an AFTERTHOUGHT

Flame threw all his potions at once, the ate some gaps, getting all the effects. That's how he fights, he hits hard and waits it out and uses everything he has in his own way!!

And another parallel like the way that Flame was on the ground while Mane was in the air?? WHERE DID WE LAST SEE THAT??? THATS RIGHT YALL 2v1000!!!!

ALSOOO we all remember the goat _venthatguy right?? I mean he's honestly hard to forget once you bring him up. THE SPEAR GUY?? EagleEye30_??? HELLO???? There are genuinely such parallels to 2v1000 that it's KILLING me. Also the fact that Flame blew up Eagle without even noticing just has me laughing so hard lmao

Also, the fact that Flame is genuinely CRACKED at carting??? Like the fact he only started using that now is puzzling to me lmao.

Something else I noticed, Mane totally was like effected by the people he's teamed with. Wemmbu especially I think. When Flame was asking him if he'd ever come back to the main server and Mane went "I'm my own responsibility" that's like a GLIMPSE into smth much deeper I think.

He's like openly admitting he'd rather keep his damage to himself. He KNOWS he's powerful and honestly smth that can tip a scale in battle he is WELL aware of that fact. And it's that reason it seems to be why he probably isn't going to come back to the main server in a while.

AND THE END OF THAT VIDEO????

"No matter what we're arguing about, if we're allies or... like right here face to face, or ten million blocks away on the server bro, no matter what, you'll always be my little brother"

(moment of silence bc Mane couldn't bring himself to say what if they're on opposite sides)

"If you never need anything from me, I'll always be here bro"

"And NEVER say you have no friends again, a brother is always a friend"

"Thank you for saving my life bro"

"Thank you for finding me"

"You know what you gotta do bro. Like. Law? Belt to butt destroy them. We already like--you could honestly do it on your own"

"I hope I see you someday"
