About
Madness Combat is an Flash animation series by Newgrounds user Krinkels[9] (real name Matt Jolly), which features graphic scenes with simplistic characters fighting each other using a variety of weapons. The series has gained online recognition through its many parodies, episodes and fan-made animations.
Online History
Krinkles uploaded the first animation to feature Madness Combat characters to Newgrounds on February 19th, 2002, titled “Marsh-Mellow-Madness”. The video featured several cartoon characters being launched from a cannon into a giant marshmallow (shown below, left). On July 25th the same year, Krinkles uploaded the first Madness Combat episode. titled “Madness Combat,” which depicted a battle between a man, a horde of identical-looking attackers and a zombie-creating character decipting Jesus Christ (shown below, right). As of May 2015, the animation has received nearly 3,900,000 views.
On January 15th, 2003, Krinkles released the second episode in the series, "Madness Redeemer", featuring an assassin named Hank J. Wimbleton who breaks into a facility to murder a man known as the Sheriff, killing his bodyguards who attempt to stop him. On September 9th, "Madness Avenger" was released, featuring the same characters as its predecessor. "Madness Avenger" is notable for being not only the first episode to be linked to the previous one, but also for being the first episode to feature music by Sean Hodges (known on Newgrounds as "Cheshyre")[10], who composed the music for all future episodes.
From 2002 to 2013, Krinkles has made 25 episodes of Madness Combat, including non-canon episodes and parodies. On July 27th, 2006, the website Krinkels.net[5] was launched to showcase Matt Jolly’s original animations, illustrations, games and music.

Wait, we're only just getting an article on this NOW!?
+1 confirm.
IIRC Newgrounds has entire DAYS devoted to this series!
@ Tardises: That's right, September 22nd every year, if I'm not mistaken. Don't recall when they started that, though.
Also, yes. +1 confirm. Easily one of my favorite flash anim series.
I fucking loved it! It has also 7'080'000 search results on Google!
+1 CONFIRM
I remember Madness Combat! This should be part of the Newgrounds article.
Yes, link to the NG article. This should be listed there as a sub-entry.
"Year: 2008"? It started in 2002
So good.
This was like my first exposure to internet flash videos.
Memetic?
I can't pass that judgement, it's be too biased, considering I've used Newgrounds for perhaps 7 years now.
@TARIN Thanks!
Just quickly went to NG for like five seconds and found out they've been doing "Madness Day" since 2007.
Yeah, September 22, 2012, was the sixth annual Madness Day.
Please don't downvote me because I'm implying this doesn't deserve to be confirmed and/or it seems unhelpful.
Also, why am I one of the only two who've favourited this article if everyone here is saying they love it?
By the way, are you going to add anything on Madness Interactive?
NEEDS MORE EDITORS.
the game was pretty good back in the day
I remember this when i went to primary school!
1+ long overdue confirm.
P.S nobody ponify this.
please?
Even I as a brony believe that this should never be ponified, it just wouldn't work.
MADNESS KOMBAT!
…sorry. Just had to get that out of my system.
This takes me back. The Clown scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. D:
@Spess Mehreen Brony: Too late.
>tfw you wanted editorship for some help and an admin comes in and fixes everything anyway
+confirm
+work
+face
There's also a Madness game series, and there's a shit-ton of derivatives of the game as well. I'll find the link a bit later, I'm busy at the moment.
@TheKillerPotato,C
Nope, I don't think Thing Thing Arena is related to Madness.
Man I remember back in the day when I use to watch every single episode on a daily basis.
Article needs to confirmed ASAP. +9001 Confirm
Lol I watched these series as a kid. Fuck it was awsome
Do you remember that old flash game called "gangsta war"? it was a browser online game, not sure whether it had anything to do with the madness combat but it looked very alike.
Oh god, i remember watching these Years ago.
+1 confirm
@namzio I remember that. It was good first but then they changed it and then it sucked and became unplayable
YES! THIS! MY CHILDHOOD! FUCK YEAH! :D
+9000 CONFIRM!
There's no entry on this already? Really?
I LOVE this series.
+1 confirm
+ Over 7 Proxies' worth of confirms
I mean, this is one of those game series that, if you call yourself an internet gamer, you simply HAVE to play. I remember turning my brain to mush for hours back in junior high and high school playing these games.
But I'm a college sophomore now. Has it really been that long sine they came out?
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/clock-crew
Another Newgrounds classic.
@Gaben The Troll
They've a mention on the Newgrounds article we have here.
Come on. Can't someone link this to the Newgrounds article?
@American Tanker
I already linked it to the Newgrounds article.
No, I mean as a sub-entry of the NG article. Is that too hard or something?
yo image dump incoming.
+en masse Confirm
They need to add Xionic Madness in this Article
+Deadpool

Considering the successful Kickstarter for Project Nexus 2, and the fact that it's Alpha Release is coming to those who pledged $15 or more in a matter of a month or two on STEAM, with the full release expected sometime at the end of this year or during next year, I'd say this article needs some updates and then a confirm. Going to apply for editorship now, thank you.
I've updated the entry, and added a "video games" section. I've mentioned Project Nexus 2.
I suppose that will do for now until it's been released for a while. :P

Krinkels, the early animator king of ultra violence has been given an entry. Has been working for a long time on an actual 3D madness game for sometime, plus the guy is a know encyclopedia on guns, but damn is his animation style popular among young animators. Ah….Such Newgrounds nostalgia.
Warning: Video has a stab scene no safe for work.
Madness Combat?
Fuck yeah.
As screwed up as it sounds, this was my childhood
+1 confirm
i remember watching and playing the lil game….when i was in elementary school…
YES! I LOVE THIS! MADNESS COMBAT IS MY CHILD HOOD!
You're not internet relevant.
Ahhh, memories.
Holy crap I remember watching these a long time ago. I really need to see them again, if only for the nostalgia.
I didn`t expect to MC get an article here…
Sweet
Oh wow, it's been a while since I've followed this. I was really big into MC a long time ago. Glad to see an article about this.
My childhood! ;D
I wonder how many episodes I have missed.
I hope its alot.
Episode 11 when?
When Half Life 3 comes out.
When Pn2 is finished.
IT'S OUT BABY!!!
Were this to be released today I have no doubt the comments section would be screaming 'edgy' at the top of its lungs.
…ya know what, it is edgy, and that's alright.
It's good because it's edgy and doesn't care.
When Half Life 3 comes out.
Damn i loved these as a kid roaming newgrounds. So much nostalgia for this stuff
Krinkles is making a Project Nexus 2. It’s already passed the Kickstarter phase and now he’s in the middle of putting it all together. He’s got the game framework down. He just needs to finish up programming and build the different campaign and challenge modes. You can still support PN2 and preorder a copy.

Here's some video of were they're currently at with the game. 2:20 two minutes is where the Ingame footage starts.
KRANK. That is all.
When Pn2 is finished.

Didn't Tricky get a Friday Night Funkin' mod?
yep
FNF has gotten a new generation interested in old NG stuff. I've seen a lot of new fanart of Pico and related characters completely unrelated to FNF.

Idk if the notable MC memes before the FNF spotlight ever became popular such as the clown dance, giant blender, the "clown kills you" moment, ROMP.FLA, and the piracy video
romp.fla was fucking wild

Alright, I'm finally old enough to join the fandom after all this time, wish me luck.
Old enough? Like 40% of the fan base started off watching this in elementary school when the teachers weren't looking.
yes. I liked my age-appropriate media.

Just seeing this name in the trending bar fills me with those happy brain chemicals. Now we just need some Madness Combat Interactive.

With Madness Combat trending, can I just say that I'm happy to see old MC fans welcoming in new fans that came from the Vs Tricky mod of Friday Night Funkin?
I hadn't checked out MC in over a decade before that mod got me back into it.
yes. I liked my age-appropriate media.
Rather large favorite, image, video, comment counts
Should grunts be a separate article?
Grunts are popular on Roblox
Somehow the article and the most recent comments don't mention the iconic grunts yet the trending images have plenty of them
There is a Madness game that has been in development for over 7 years, which is coming out on Steam at the end of this month!
