History Awesome / AnimatorVsAnimation

** Best of all, there's the fight scene where the group fights of spiders while jumping across multiple levels of minecarts. It's incredibly intricate and filled with tons of little details that demand rewatching.

* Them fight the spiders ''in midair''.

* When Blue and Yellow hear sounds of chaos, they immediately draw their swords and run towards the source. And when they see the Titan Ravager, they switch to their fishing rods with little thought, the strategy gained from their past fights with giant enemies.

* The entire chase scene is one of the most visually stunning setpieces Alan Becker has made so far and is pretty much a three-minute-long Crowning Moment Of Awesome.

** Green ends up dual-wielding swords vs. the Piglin's dual axes. The moment he has an opening, he climbs the scoreboard and leaps across. When he gets to the long jump, he opens up his inventory and ''bridges'' across... then remembers Purple seemingly vanishing into the sky, and starts towering up before power-bashing his pickaxe against the masked obsidian of the parkour zone.

* Blue becomes a potions master within hours of finding out they exist. He manages to discover and make countless different potions by the time Red walks in.

* Yellow makes an amazing roller coaster(minus the end) despite having just discovered minecarts.

* Realizing the end crystals heal the Ender Dragon, Blue and Green ''ride'' the dragon away from the crystals with Green stabbing it with his sword and Blue shooting it one while dangling from the rope on its tail, holding his bow and the rope with the same hand.

* While this time he has instructions, Yellow still figures out how to bend the command block to his will enough to make the results look like straight up magic, although he didn't quite figure out the lightning.

* Green and Blue jump on a Ghast to escape the Nether mobs chasing them. After realizing they can control it with their fishing rods, they then proceed to ride the Ghast like a battle stead and blast the mobs to kingdom come. They finish off the Ghast making it fire a shot that they bash back in its face.

[[folder:Ep 7: PvP]]

* Blue becomes a potions master within hours of discovering they exist. He manages to discover and make countless different potions by the time Red walks in.

* Green sees the note blocks, taps them a bit, and then launches into an incredible solo. He then immediately knows how to make the note blocks into an entire ''band''

[[folder:Ep 10: The End]]
* Another DarkestHour: Purple has betrayed Blue and Green, and the latter two are about to fall into the void. Suddenly, Second Coming reaches in from offscreen and grabs them, and the camera pans out to reveal he's attached to a human chain made of him, Red, Yellow, and several of the Villagers.
* After Purple swiping the Dragon Egg resulted in the Enderdragon ravaging the village looking for it, the Villagers make their disapproval of their king very clear. We never see what they do to him, since he's just picked up and carried offscreen, but judging by the body language of a couple of them and the way Purple struggles when he's picked up, it probably won't be pleasant for him.

[[folder:Ep 11: [=SkyBlock=]]]
* After their adventure in the [=SkyBlock=] universe starts off sourly when the only sapling falls off the edge and Red and Green's squabbling knock the chest off, the fighting stick figures realize that they still have full inventories they can use. Next time we see them, they're thriving; a house, a pen, a small garden, even a mob grinder, and that scene ends with them sitting down at a table full of food and chowing down. Too bad things go south after a Creeper blows up their mob grinder.

[[folder:Ep 12: TNT Land]]
* After the borderline DownerEnding of the previous short, the stick figures on [=SkyBlock=] manage to pull an ''epic'' comeback once the sun comes out and starts harming the hostile mobs that took over their structure.
* The Second Coming managing to survive the KillerRabbit's death traps.

[[folder:Ep 13: The Dolphin Kingdom]]
* While the Fighting Stick Figures make short work of the normal Guardians (which is Awesome in and of itself), they're more hesitant to fight the Elder Guardians. How do they defeat the Elder Guardian that kidnapped the Dolphin Queen? They use sponge blocks to dry out the room, leaving the Elder Guardian helpless as they grab the Dolphin Queen and flee. Crowning Moment of Smarts right there.

[[folder:Ep 14: Cave Spider Roller Coaster]]
* The entire chase scene is one of the most visually stunning setpieces Alan Becker has made so far and is pretty much a three-minute-long Crowning Moment Of Awesome.
** There's Green and Second Coming rapidly laying down track to prevent the minecart from falling into a pit ala WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit.
** The group creating a minecart in midair and jumping onto it.
** Best of all, there's the fight scene where the group fights of spiders while jumping across multiple levels of minecarts. It's incredibly intricate and filled with tons of little details that demand rewatching.
** The surprise appearance of The Wither is pretty awesome in its own right.

!!Season 2
[[folder:Ep 16: Note Block Battle]]
* Green is ''so'' absurdly musically talented, it took an ensemble of three stick figures [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext and a chicken]], all on performance-enhancing potions, to compete fairly with him.
* Second Coming literally crashing the guitar duel between Green and the Chicken and outperforms them by playing so good that lightning strikes and causing a sonic boom leaving everyone speechless. He then goes back to sleep like it was nothing.
* A meta moment for Alan Becker just for animating ''every single individual musical note'' that pops up during the fight, especially with the guitar duel near the end.

[[folder:Ep 19: Lucky Block]]
* How fast Yellow masters using the Lucky Block Entity before it possesses him, effortlessly conjuring whatever he can imagine.
* The stick figures manage to hold their own against the Lucky Block Entity even before Yellow starts helping them, and once he did, they might've beaten it if it couldn't multiply.
** Also, props to the Entity for being nearly able to defeat the entire group with relative ease, only being stopped by being removed from Yellow.
* The sheer ''insanity'' that is Red vs the Entity. Those in the Lucky Block spawn mobs and items with pinpoint accuracy and creativity, holding off the possessed bodies and blocking attacks on Red. And Red manages to fight off everyone with incredible skill even without his friends' interference.
* The return of Super Pig, and his effortless defeat of the Entity in pursuit of carrots.

!! Season 3
[[folder:Ep 20: The Piglin War]]
* [[MeleeATrois Blue vs. Piglin hunting squad vs. Zombified Piglin horde]]. After Blue loses his golden helmet, the Piglins chase him towards the Nether fortress. When he gets near, ''zombified'' Piglins (aka the Zombie Pigmen that he and Green accidentally aggravated in Ep 8 and spent the rest of the episode running from) come out of the fortress, and Blue is left pinned between the two on the bridge. He resigns himself to the fight, draws his sword... [[OneManArmy and starts killing the zombieporcine warriors, while keeping the hunting squad at bay without hurting them]]. No Ghasts, no fellow stickmen, just Blue. The stick figures have gained ''several'' [[TookALevelInBadass levels in badass]] since AVM Shorts Season 1. The only reason he ended up falling down is due to the young Piglin needing his help, which left him off-guard.
* Blue manages to survive in lava for several seconds, even keeping enough focus to hold the Piglin Child up so they would have the best chance to be saved by the Piglins.

[[folder:Ep 21: The Witch]]
* The entire gang puts up a good fight against the titular antagonist. Especially when Green, [[ItMakesSenseInContext who is transformed into a Sugar Cane]], fights her. But the best part comes as a huge CallBack to the first time the Stick Figures experienced potions. Red's Pig from the previous episode drinks all the potions, gaining every buff in the game once more. Plus some new ones: [[LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} Techno]] and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Gotta Go Fast]]. The pig then [[MegatonPunch punches the witch]] (as a purple dye) away.
* Blue manages to make an antidote for the BalefulPolymorph potion despite having just learned about it, in addition to all the numerous potions he uses in the rest of the fight.
** He also manages to hold his own against the Witch in a potion-fueled ShapeShifterShowdown, countering everything she could throw at him. He only loses because he runs out of potions.
* Even if they couldn't beat the Witch on their own, the stick figures give her a run for her money; the Second Coming seeing through her Blue-disguise, them beating her zombie-disguise ambush, and still fighting no matter what she turns them into. It's telling that the only way she cornered them was by turning them into something completely helpless.

[[folder:Ep 22: Parkour]]
* Alan's sticks show their ingenuity when dealing with Orange's Piglin jailers.
** Second Coming realizes that they're still on a parkour platform with emptiness on all sides. He takes a leap of faith... [[ChekhovsGun and lands near the last checkpoint]], on the other side of the Piglin. When he figures out the endless loop, he seizes the checkpoint beacon and uses it to drop the Piglin into the void, over and over again, until he can use it on the other one for a teleporting glitch.
** Green ends up dual-wielding swords vs. the Piglin's dual axes. The moment he has an opening, he climbs the scoreboard and leaps across. When he gets to the long jump, he opens up his inventory and ''bridges'' across... then remembers Purple seemingly vanishing into the sky, and starts towering up before power-bashing his pickaxe against the masked obsidian of the parkour zone.
** Yellow narrowly misses a jump on the ice zone and notices the command block that's causing the checkpoints. Once he passes the Piglin again, he uses his fishing rod to lower himself down, [[HereWeGoAgain opens up the command block interface, and]]... [[SubvertedTrope clears the command field]]. Someone's learned his lesson.
* Green vs. Purple. Purple has an elytra and fireworks, which means flight and speed. Green has a fishing rod, and proves why Minecraft [=PvP=]ers swear by theirs.

[[folder:Ep 23: Titan Ravager]]
* Despite ultimately being unsuccessful, Blue and Yellow deserve kudos for their approach to dealing with the titular mob. The titan being impervious to damage and focusing on getting food, they distract it with meals long enough to make more, which they use to distract it long enough to make more... The end result is a bonemeal-accelerated automatic farm, with the crops being deposited into a dispenser that they fire straight into the Ravager's mouth. If there had just been one Ravager, they would have solved the problem with no violence necessary.
* The Villagers are anything but helpless bystanders. They try to fight the Titan Ravager as much as they can, and when they see Blue and Yellow struggling to keep up the pace, they work with them to make the automated feeder more efficient, and are able to build the complicated system with only a little direction from the stick figures.
* When Blue and Yellow hear sounds of chaos, they immediately draw their swords and run towards the source. And when they see the Titan Ravager, they switch to their fishing rods with little thought, the strategy gained from their past fights with giant enemies.

[[folder:Ep 24: Lush Caves]]
* The MeleeATrois shows that even when fighting each other, the Second Coming and Red can still take down an army of hostile mobs without breaking a sweat or even caring about them, to the point where the mobs don't hurt them even once. At one point, a creeper is about to explode behind the Second Coming. He quickly gives it an OffhandBackhand in its blocky chin and it falls over, ''[[OneHitKill dead]]''.

[[folder:Ep 25: The Ultimate Weapon]]
The entire episode is just one big moment of awesome. But, to be more precise...
----
* Scott Buckley and Aaron Grooves provided the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic for the extended fight scene that is two-thirds of this episode. It starts out as the regular Pigstep ([[DiegeticSwitch courtesy of Orange actually putting a Pigstep disc in his record player]]), and gradually gets more and more epic as the fight escalates, until it sounds like the edge of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Dancing Mad]]. Scott has uploaded it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDZK3_c-Vkc here]] to be enjoyed on its own.
* Orange vs. Green, Yellow and Blue. Orange has a command block that can spawn ''anything''. Green, Blue, and Yellow have swords, bows, fishing rods, and their own skills. And they deliver a CurbStompBattle on Orange. While Orange initially has the upper hand, throwing them around and forcing them to take cover with an absolute army of fireballs and arrows, the trio ultimately manages to counter every unfair command he can throw at them, pin down his staff, and hold him at arrow-point. If it weren't for the untimely loss of their equipment following Purple's theft of the Master Block, this conflict would have been over.
* Purple vs. The Second Coming and Red. Since they're actually fighting on a PC again, the fight comes out like a blend of ''[=AvA=]'' and ''[=AvM=]'', with exploitation of desktop interfaces mixed in with the ''Minecraft'' equipment, right up to Purple whacking them with the Start menu. Also, Purple has nothing but his own skills, and is outnumbered. While originally beaten down by the BashBrothers that are TSC and Red, he ultimately manages to get the upper hand and steal the Master Block.
* Purple manages to get his hands on the Master Block and absorbs the Nether portal into it, locking the Second Coming out of the fight (Purple and Red managed to enter the portal before it was absorbed). Who comes to the rescue? ''[[ChekhovsGunman alexcrafter28]]''. Second Coming emails himself back to Alex's PC and borrows his Master Block before returning to Alan's, and briefly practices with creative mode before reforming and re-lighting the Nether portal.
* Meanwhile, who comes to help Red? Another [[ChekhovsGunman gunman]], this time the baby piglin from "The Piglin War". The kid gives him a ride on its hoglin. What follows is Red vs. Purple. A battle where both sides are constantly in the air, fighting over the Master Block, and if not for Orange, Red would have won.
* The Second Coming vs. Orange. An absolutely terrifying and awe-inspiring show of creative mode. Orange has experience due to his previous command block, but the Second Coming has the tenacity and quick-thinking that he's shown in the entire series so far. The entire fight is very equal, both having the upper hand only to get it taken away from them after a moment. Orange throws absolutely everything he can, from his own strength to an armada of attacks, and the Second Coming manages to avoid and counter them all with his traps, smarts, and experience.
* Meanwhile, Purple sends an entire army of Piglin Brutes at the Fighting Stick Figures. They deliver one of the biggest {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s of the entire series as they effortlessly slaughter their way through them all, leading to Purple [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere trying to flee.]] They manage to catch him mid-flight with fishing rods and would have caught him if not for Purple ditching his elytra.

[[folder:Ep 26: The Warden]]
* The Second Coming manages to befriend '''the Warden''', the most powerful mob in all of ''Minecraft''!
* What does the Second Coming do after he and the Warden become friends? He gets the Warden to help him fight Orange.
* When the Second Coming and the Warden attack Orange, it immediately becomes clear that Orange is horribly outmatched, since he's being attacked by the strongest mob in ''Minecraft'', his staff is empty, and the Second Coming even makes up for the Warden's blindness by providing guidance. Orange briefly manages to fight back by equipping his staff with a gold block, but the Warden and the Second Coming eventually manage to separate Orange from his staff. Their victory would have been assured if Orange hadn't found one of the Master Blocks.

[[folder:Ep 1: The Virus]]
* It's the DarkestHour. Alan has his cursor destroyed and can't create a new one while the stick figures are trapped in webbing. Suddenly, a white portal appears, and '''''[[TheBusCameBack the]] [[BigDamnHeroes Chosen]] [[TheChosenOne One]]''''' appears.

[[folder:Ep 2: The Chosen One's Return]]
Honestly, this whole episode is just one big HSQ!
* The Chosen One takes several [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdowns]] by [=ViraBot=], but manages to regain his strength and fight back every time. Even when he has been attacked by [=ViraBot=]'s TouchOfDeath, he is able to survive.
* Near the end of their fight, [=ViraBot=] forms a massive body out of the broken pieces of Adobe Flash and starts beating up the Chosen One. While he manages to fight back in the end, [[BadassBystander the Second Coming gets bonus points for attempting to punch the giant [=ViraBot=] to help as much as he could]].
* Eventually, [=ViraBot=]'s true body comes out, and the Chosen One sics all of his powers on it [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill to make sure it is completely destroyed]].

[[folder:Ep 3: The Flashback]]
* What does the Chosen One do when the Dark Lord is about to press the button that launches [=Virabot=]? [[MegatonPunch Punch the shit out of him]] to the point that TDL is thrown off-screen! [[TheBadGuyWins The Dark Lord still launched the virus]], but despite the fact it would infect Alan's PC, the Chosen One [[WhatYouAreInTheDark chooses to go there anyways]] and managed to destroy it!

* The creation of Super Pig, who utterly trounces the stick figures even after they buff themselves up nad is only stopped by the potions wearing off.

* Green sees the Note Blocks, taps them a bit, and then launches into an incredible solo. He then immediately knows how to make the note blocks into an entire ''band''

From the Second Coming seeing through her Blue-disguise, to beating her zombie-disguise ambush, to fighting no matter what she turns them into. It's telling that the only way she cornered them was by turning them into something completely helpless.

* When Blue and Yellow her sounds of chaos, they immediately draw their swords and run towards the source. And when they see the Titan Ravager, they switch to their fishing rods with little thought, the strategy gained from their past fights with giant enemies.

* The Second Coming obtaining a full team of Pokémon without having to battle any of them. He essentially took strategies that would have been more likely to work in the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon anime]] and made them work in the game!

* The Second Coming managed to complete the main game of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Heart Gold]]'' in the time it took for the Animator to make his lunch.
** Look at the computer's internal clock when the Animator leaves (12:00), and during his fight with Ethan (12:55). It took the Second Coming ''less than an hour'' to reach the Pokemon League. That is some serious speed-running, especially considering he had never played before. (For comparison, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD7JXzIuct4 the current world record]] for speedrunning ''Pokémon Heart Gold'' took around 20 minutes more to get to the same point, and that player used glitches to get there after only four Gym Leaders whereas the Second Coming fought all eight.)

* Orange vs. Green, Yellow and Blue. Orange has a command block that can spawn ''anything''. Green, Blue, and Yellow have swords, bows, fishing rods, and their own skills. And they deliver a CurbStompBattle on Orange. While Orange initially has the upper hand, throwing them around and forcing them to take cover with an absolute army of fireballs and arrows, the trio ultimate manages to counter every unfair command he can throw at them, pin down his staff, and hold him at arrow-point. If it weren't for the untimely loss of their equipment following Purple's theft of the Master Block, this conflict would have been over.
