General information:

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of anything and everything otoMAD/YTPMV related. Last year, I happened to come across the International Bagel Festival 2023, a collab for a relatively niche source involving several videos by Brentalfloss and many, many snippits of Bagel related content. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued!
The source is simply known as Bagel and centered around Brentalfloss‘ „The Roommate Song“, specifically the 2008 version. There’s a line of him complaining about his porn addicted roommate taking one of his bagels in order to…relieve himself. 

I highly recommand watching the commericals and the collab for further context on the character. Here’s some links to them.

This character is more or less an exam for my greenscreen technique as I’ve used it before in several of my other work (Plug Man EX, OROCHIBOY), but never to make the full character. I think the result came out very well!
As the character is based on something that may as well be one gigantic injoke, many of it’s gags may fly over your head. Regardless, i hope the character is silly and varied enough to be enjoyable.

Bagelfloss has a simple, „freeflow“ combo system. X, Y and Z correspond to his punches, with low and air variants. You can chain them together sorted by rising strength and combine them for a simple air combo or try to fish for more damage by using his air attacks after specials. The unique commands are as follows:

Forward + Y: (close) Drown your ass in boiling water:
Brent grabs his opponent and, well, does just that. As a throw, it can’t hit airborne or grounded opponents, but it’s rather fast. Air attacks are also an option after the move ends.

B: Power Charge:
Brent channels his inner need for ferngully, charging his power meter.
The move has major endlag, so choosing when to end it is wise.

C: Bagel Throwers:
One of three random assists will toss a bagel at the opponent, coming in from behind Brent. The choice of helper is random, but they can be used even when Brent is doing other moves or being hit.

QCF + X: Coach Buzzcut:
Everyone’s favorite teacher appears to tell the opponent what they’ll be learning about today. This move has a bit of start up, but Brent can be controlled before it comes out, allowing for quick manovering. Best used as a zoning tool, it causes hard knockdown. Buzzcut can also be hit away.

QCF +, Y: Spencer’s Bagels:
Spencer appears to explain his disdain towards a bag of bagels. This move acts as a good combo finisher, hitting a total of 9 times, ending in a wallbounce and hard knockdown.
Brent could either spend the time charging power or interupt the move with one of his own to further spice things up. Spencer can be hit away, however.

QCF + Z: Delicious Bag of Bagels!:
Lender’s bagels delivers a fresh bag of bagels directly from their family to yours – hitting away opponents blocking their delivery.
The bag of bagels is quite tall and must be jumped or block to avoid it.

QCB + X: Motorcycle Noises:
Steve Barkley shows off his impressive impression of his special bagel branded motorcycle. Appearing behind the opponent, he has to be blocked or jumped away from, as there’s no way to knock him off the motorcycle.

QCB + Y: .veg replace:
Brent briefly decides to be square and fires off 10 projectiles, 5 at each side of the screen. The projectiles can hit while the opponent is on the floor,. but will not spawn if Brent himself is hit during the move – he can move around freely, but not jump.

QCB + Z: Bagel Delivery!:
Mama Luigi, Kofji or a non-suspicious bagel delivery man join in to bring Brent a delicious bagel. Walking over it will make Brent eat it.
80% of the time, they will bring a regular bagel, healing for 100 HP.
10% of the time, they will bring a blue cheese bagel, healing for 400 HP.
10% of the time, they will bring a bagel with too much cream cheese, disorienting Brent and costing him 100 HP.

2x QCF + X: Vergil's Bagels (1000 power):
A shield will spawn around Brent, consisting of various Bagels. They block incoming attacks and can be used a combo extenders.
Being hit or coming into contact with the opponent will knock them away.
Other supers can't be used while the Bagel Shield is active.

2x QCF + Y: How it's Made (1000 power):
Brent shows the opponent how to make New York style bagels - up close and personal by putting them into the bagel machine with the help of a worker.
Grab super that can hit opponents in the air, but not lying on the ground.
The super provides a good chance to powercharge or follow up with air combos.

2x QCF + Z: Satan (3000 power):
Brent's ultimate super, only able to be used once per match.
Should the grab hit, the opponent will be sent to hell, where they suffer a stroke from lack of choices, teleporting back to the fight after.

Notes:

The AI included with this character is a bit tougher than some of my other otoMAD work, but should still be human beatable.
I think. I can't beat any of my own AIs. 
It switches between zoning and hamming down on the opponent on the fly and tries to conserve power, except on the Bagel Shield, which it uses to force KOs.

The biggest thanks goes out to everyone who worked on the 2023 Bagel collab, for getting me interested in the source and getting me to appreciate the niche following behind it.

A big thanks to Brentalfloss himself, watching all those old videos again made me realize how much he made old YouTube, in a way. Even if the humor is dated, it can be fun to go back to those times.
A big thanks to triforceofdiarrhea, for changing the world the day they decided to use this funny video by Brent. Also, for being a trustworthy violation consultant.
Thanks to the people behind Runway for their great AI tools that made greenscreening no issue whatsoever. You saved me many, MANY hours of painful masking.
Thanks to Jermungandr for ripping the sprites of the cooking pot from Kirby Super Star.
A special thanks to Krazy for being involved with Bagels, kind of.
A special thanks to 99 Dollar Man for making the worst source used in the character, "I'm not trying to look at men's asses", BRO THAT'S THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE GENRE.

Additional special Thanks to:

Gumhoy: For being an amazing person in general and finally getting me started on my own MUGEN work. Also made the template used for all of my work. A lot of reason why this got done was because of you giving me motivation.
Arxos: For running the best MUGEN stream around, allowing my work to be shown and entertain others.
Z-9 Lurker: A big source of inspiration, motivation and just a nice guy to be around >:] Working on Gabriel together with you was most enjoyable and seeing your encouragement with this project helped quite too! Thank you for always being around to listen to my obsessions and phases!
