My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil!

Season 1 Featured on: 7 Somari Dad Also on: Your Onii-Chan's Favorite Rips!

Ripped by Smoky

youtube

Look: It's a point I've made before and a point I won't needlessly harp on about, so let's get it out of the way: Season 1 of SiIvaGunner was, as most firsts tend to be, far simpler than what we'd get just a year or two later and beyond. But it was before SiIvaGunner came to be known for its lovingly crafted and detailed mashups like Hella Pummel, before the ludicrously in-depth projects like my rip :), before we'd start getting delicately authentic melodyswaps like Outertale of much of any original covers or compositions like Trial of the Heart. Back when the very idea of disguising video game music edits as normal, unedited music rips, was still something really novel. The novelty of the channel paired, with a lack of basically any set-in-stone recurring jokes other than Grand Dad, resulted in some true classics like Pikmin Park, Live and Ooooooooooooooh, Dr. Soulja - and, of course, My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil!.

Now, let's start with a bit of a disclaimer - there's obviously a whole bunch of baggage to unpack with the humor surrounding the Your Onii-Chan's Favorite Rips! album in general. 2016 was the absolute plateau of edgy YouTube humor being in the mainstream, right before LeafyIsHere, iDubbbz, Keemstar, Filthy Frank and all the others sort of petered out from YouTube's stricter moderation. It was, in no uncertain terms, the time where making fun of how weird anime could be was at its most trendy. The joke in My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil!, and the joke of almost all the rips featured in Your Onii-Chan's Favorite Rips!, is to reference the anime franchise Oreimo, one that's effectively built entirely around the theme of being attracted to your younger sister. Despite its incestuous contents, the series sports a poppy, happy-go-lucky, bubbly aesthetic - hence, prime material to make jokes about how bizarre it is for Japan to effectively glorify such taboo relationships. Now, this is far from the only risque topic that early SiIvaGunner chose to tackle, and even back then there were topics such as described in Stickerbrush State of Mind that were still seen as going "too far" - but many of those have faded away as distant memories overtime, rips which failed to gain much of any traction, only really remembered as an edgier footnote in the channel's legacy.

So then...what makes My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil! any different, worth highlighting here today?

Put simply, I don't believe its million-plus views come purely from Oreimo fans, or from people deep in the trenches who find references to weird anime to be inherently funny. I believe the views are there because of a far simpler, far more effective joke in play: the contrast between a song as bubbly as Oreimo's opening theme irony, and the vocals of E.G.G.M.A.N. and the character its attached to, is simply very funny. The original E.G.G.M.A.N. is sort of an industrial rock "anthem", where the titular doctor celebrates and glorifies his own destructive goals in a theatrical, self-aggrandizing, yet still aggressive way - an aggression that feels as if it disappears entirely without the track's original instrumentation. An aggression that, with the instrumentation replaced with the sugary sweetness of irony, turns into something purely theatrical, like a performance from a School Idol, a performance from the heart - which, given who Dr. Eggman is as a character, is obviously a very funny mental image. Pikmin Park was listed as one of the classic Season 1 rips above for good reason - it, too, plays on this same sort of contrast in songs used for a mental image that's simply too good not to get a chuckle out of.

Thing is, while Stickerbrush State of Mind was fondly remembered for just how much of a genuine banger it was, while Pikmin Park is considered a classic due purely to how well its joke works, I believe My Dr. Eggman Can't Be This Evil! succeeds above both of them due to mastering both sides of the coin. It's already very funny as a concept due to the contrast in songs used, yet a similar BPM and excellent mashup work by Smoky makes the rip an incredibly fun rip to just listen to as a good piece of music, vocals and instrumentation working in harmony far better than they probably should. It is, in that sense, a shining example of SiIvaGunner's biggest strength, the ability to make its viewers smile both from its jokes and from the surprise of hearing good music. It's the perfect harmonization of two jokes, preserving the strengths of E.G.G.M.A.N's vocals whilst using every piece of irony possible to highlight this new cutesy feel - a deceptively simple joke executed perfectly, transcending the dicey origins of its conception and becoming far funnier in a completely different way.

Abelina Sabrina's Journey from Voice Acting to the Sweet Science

Not everyone who steps into a boxing ring always thought they would be there. Over the last two years, the creation of the Creator Clash, a social media influencer boxing event for charity, has allowed people from all walks of life to step into the squared circle.

The participants ranged from former WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) wrestlers, podcasters, Twitch video game streamers, and professional chess players to YouTube sensations who focus on taking on extreme challenges like Michelle Khare.

On an off-chance opportunity, stepped in East Los Angeles native Abelina Sabrina Rios. She is better known to her audience as Abelina Sabrina or Sabrina to friends and family. Sabrina is a voice actor and YouTube star who often makes hilarious comedy-parody skits. The types of shows she has worked on revolve around the anime world, including Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure, Sugar Pine 7, and Your Lie in April.

How she got started in voice acting wasn't overly elaborate, instead merely mimicking what most kids do on a Saturday morning in watching cartoons.

"When I was little, I would watch a lot of cartoons like any kid," Sabrina explained to Frontproof Media in an exclusive interview. "I thought, I like the way that sounds. So, I think that's why my voice is the way it is now because, as a kid, I would just mimic what I would hear on TV.

“In high school, I saw that this convention called Anime Expo was going to have open voiceover auditions hosted by a company called Bang Zoom Entertainment. I showed up and I auditioned, and they liked me. Ever since then, they call me back at random for auditions here and there."

In 2022, the first Creator Clash took place at the University of South Florida in Tampa in front of an infinitely energetic crowd that proved infectious to those who were there only out of curiosity. The combination of the audience and the sport of boxing ignited a desire to be a part of it somehow.

A poolside run-in with two of the creators of the Creator Clash, Ian "iDubbbz" Washburn and his significant other Anisa Jomha, kept Sabrina in their minds when thinking about the sequel to their social media boxing event.

"I attended the first Creator Clash as a guest, and it was just inspiring," Sabrina told Frontproof Media. "After the first event happened, I was hanging out at the pool, and Ian and Anisa were walking. I saw them, and we were chatting a little bit, and Anisa expressed that she wanted to include more female fights next year.

"Then, after everybody went home, I told her, 'Hey, if you have anybody in my height and weight range and if you need any more female fights, please, I want to throw my name in the ring. I would love to be considered."

In August of 2022, Sabrina would get the call for the second edition of the Creator Clash that was set to take place on April 15, 2023, at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL. Her opponent would be fellow Youtuber, Tik-Tok, and Twitch streamer Jaelaray.

How Abelina Sabrina went from Voice Acting to the Sweet Science

And while there is a level of excitement that hits you when you get the notice that you'll be a participant in an event that produced such a frenzied reaction, there is also a level of realism that becomes apparent. Sabrina didn't have much of an athletic background to speak of before heading into her first boxing match.

"I think prior, the most athletic thing that I've ever done was being Minnie Mouse at Disneyland," Sabrina said. "But that's just good cardio. I didn't left weights of anything."

Four years at Disneyland gave Sabrina experience being in front of a live audience, but it wouldn't prepare her for combat inside a boxing ring. For the East L.A. native, her physical foundation needed to be built from the ground up.

Given ample time to establish some kind of training regimen, Sarbina primarily trained under the tutelage of Grisha Todorov. Along with Todorov, Sabrina and many of the participants in the Creator Clash would train with three-time Golden Gloves champion Michael "Kwik" Flories, who would organize sparring sessions with fighters from his gym.

"My trainer is all the way in Woodland Hills and Tarzana," Sabrina said about her training. "His name is Grisha Todorov. He's a former champion from Bulgaria, a very different background, but that's who I spent most of my training with. Then, I had a personal trainer for strength and conditioning here in Glendale, where I'm now Bradley Randcourt. I was not athletic whatsoever. I've never done any sports at all. I did not work out at all. So they were building me from scratch.

"So what became my usual routine was three days a week, I would do boxing, and three days a week, I would do strength training nearby and then fight camp, which was about a month before the fight. I would still do three days a week of boxing, sometimes four days, but then also multiple sessions on that day."

In all sports, it's often touted that the physical and mental toll of constant training can be more challenging than the match or game you are preparing for. Boxing is one of those sports. It's been said that fights are usually won in the gym.

Reflecting on her entire experience from training to the day of the fight, a sparring session with a real professional boxer proved more daunting than anything she would come up against on fight night.

"Oddly enough, I was more scared when I had to spar with semi-pro boxer Nikkia Willaims," stated Sabrina. "It was my first sparring session with somebody else outside of my gym or my friend network. So I was very scared to box her. At least with my opponent for Creator Clash, Jaelaray, it would be her first time actually boxing, too. But when I had to box with this semi-pro female boxer, I was terrified.

"While we were sparring as soon as she hit me, she hit me harder than my coach. I started sobbing, but we kept sparring anyway. I made it three and a half rounds with her. Because I sparred with Nikkia, I faced that fear and did it anyway. Fighting with Jaelaray was scary, but I had faced scarier."

The scheduled five-round boxing exhibition match would be held between the two social media stars at a catchweight. Sabrina, who has a petite body type, usually walks around at 100 pounds, so she agreed to a catchweight of about 115 pounds for the fight with her opponent.

In combat sports, there are usually two battles—one that takes place in the ring and the other that takes place at the weight scale. Typically, the clash at the scale is one based on losing or cutting weight. But in Sabrina's case, she found one of the most challenging parts of training was putting on weight.

"Gaining weight," Sabrina expressed to Frontproof Media, as the hardest part of training for her. "Gaining weight, and gaining good weight because I wanted to put on 15 pounds of ideally mostly muscle. That's not what ended up happening. But it's really hard to gain weight when you're working out and running that much.

"So I had to put on 15 pounds for this fight. It was hard to keep that because I'm normally 100 or 105."

"If you don’t define yourself, the world is going to do it for you." -- Abelina Sabrina

The Day of the Fight

How to maneuver around distractions is something that every fighter has to learn to deal with. But, when your first time stepping into the squared circle is in an arena full of thousands of boisterous fans, the nerves can get the best of you. For Sabrina, all of the little things that are usually taken care of by members of a fighters team went wrong.

From having to get a newly fitting mouthpiece Fedexed to her, a pair of boxing gloves going missing to a Mariachi band that didn't seem like they were going to make it to the arena on time, all of the things that shouldn't be the focus added to fuel the anxiety and anxiousness of having to fight.

"My hands are getting wrapped and I can't contact anybody anymore because I can't use my phone," Sabrina said about her time in the locker room before the start of the fight. "So missing my mouthguard, missing gloves, missing mariachi, just all of the things that I didn't want to think about. It took alot of focus away from the fight."

Throughout the Creator Clash, several entrants had grandiose entrances that excited the live crowd—ranging from run-ins through the crowd to Pokemon theme songs that almost blew the roof off of the arena. It was put upon each individual participant to do something to stand out above the rest.

Deciding to take a more traditional approach, using her entrance to pay homage to her Mexican heritage and, in some ways, to the Mexican boxing community, Sabrina entered her bout against Jaelaray to a Mariachi band that got one of the loudest ovations of the night.

"I was fight number two, so I wanted my fight, at the very least, to be remembered out of all the people that were participating," Sabrina stated. "I was probably one of the ones who had a smaller platform. So I wanted to make people care about me and my fight, at least during my 15 minutes. I wanted to make it as entertaining for everybody as possible. I need to have that live mariachi.

"I wanted to channel boxers like Canelo, who make their walkout a fun spectacle, honoring their culture. That's what I was aiming for."

When one thinks of activities that would prepare somebody to box, sports like wrestling, track and field, and fencing come to mind. However, for Sabrina, her background working at Disneyland performing in front of a live crowd helped alleviate some of her nerves.

"The people aspect didn't freak me out at all," said Sabrina. "I think having a performing background really helped my walkout. I'm used to being surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of people."

The fight itself didn't end up playing out in Sabrina's favor, as the size difference between her and Jaelaray played a factor. Much to the crowd's delight, the two would trade blows in the middle of the ring, with each landing their share of right hands. Sabrina displayed her competitive nature throughout, as she immediately responded with a salvo of her own whenever she got hit.

After five rounds, Jaelaray was awarded with a unanimous decision victory. But, both competitors were given applause from the audience.

To succeed in boxing and not allow a moment to crush you mentally, you have to be able to control your emotions. Being emotionally intelligent enough not to allow yourself to become overwhelmed is what can separate you from failing. Taking control of the fear rather than letting it take the wheel is innate and can only be taught over time.

"I absolutely felt so much fear constantly," Sabrina confessed about her time in the ring. "I think because I worked so much on the mental aspect, I was terrified, but also, I was so happy to be there. I was so excited. I was smiling throughout most of the fight, and I was letting the fear fuel me.

"I was getting hit a lot, but I think I was doing good with rolling with the punches. I knew that it was not over yet and that I had to give my all until the very end."

For some participants, the experience of boxing steered them away from wanting to step in the ring for the rest of their lives. For others, it was like a rollercoaster that they couldn't wait to ride again.

Boxing is one of the most dangerous sports one can participate in. The Creator Clash was more about entertainment and having fun than seeing who was the best fighter. Still, everyone who stepped inside the ring gained a new level of respect and admiration for those who fight professionally.

"If I am invited to Creator Clash 3, I will 100% do it because as soon as I stepped out of the ring, all I wanted to do was go box again," Sabrina stated about her feelings after the fight. "With boxing and athletes in general, but especially boxing, you spend so much time training for what is only 10 or 15 minutes in a ring. You're putting so much on your body. I feel like it's selling your body. I've come to learn that most people would never step into a boxing ring. It makes me feel so proud to do it myself.

"I respect people who do choose to step into the ring because it's really hard and scary. Everyone,every single boxer, is scared to get in the ring, and we do it anyway."

There is a saying that the journey is more important than the destination. Boxing, in some respects, is a microcosm for the voyage of self-discovery that is life. When you step through those ropes, you are at your most vulnerable. It's a time when you can be exposed and a majority of the time, it's in front of a large group of people. But it can also bring out what you thought you never had.

Strength when you thought you were weak. Speed when you thought you were slow. And a smile when you thought there would be tears. It allows you to be in command of how you have always defined yourself. Who you see in the mirror is capable of more than you could have imagined.

"Some people have a certain idea of me at a glance, and they don't know me all that well," said Sabrina. "I felt like I had something to prove in this fight because I've learned that if you don't define yourself, the world is going to do it for you. I felt like this little bitty shadow for the longest time. But after Creator Clash 2, I did not feel like a shadow at all.

"I felt like my little moments in the light in the sun. I'm happy that I got to define myself."

Guilt Inhibits Progress

Hi! I know I haven't posted here in a while but I just wanna remind everyone that it's important that you WORK to be better and you have to WANT to be better before you can ever expect people to see that you've changed. When I was a young I used to mimic iDubbbz's racist behavior with my white friends under the guise of being "edgy". This is still something I look back on and not only cringe but feel a deep sense of remorse over. I apologize for this awful behavior and the pain that I caused with said behavior. Apologizing is exactly what you need to do to start on the path of being better; however, guilt is the opposite of what you need to move on from your past behaviors. Guilt isn't necessarily a horrible thing, in fact it shows that you regret the hurt you caused and what problems you may have been the source of; but it is important for you to move on from that guilt and move into a stage of hard work and action to grow from the harm you caused in the past. I have a gift for music and love teaching music, so I have been using my skills in that regard to help amplify the voices of artists of color that I know. That's how I have found my way of repaying my debt for the pain I caused in my youth. I just want you to know that the most important thing is first UNDERSTANDING the pain you may have caused. ESPECIALLY if it was racist behavior or any other bigoted behavior. Understand the pain that you caused, (ESPECIALLY as a white person like myself who will never understand the pain of racism [also in this case FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING LISTEN TO WHAT BIPOC ARE SAYING]), then APOLOGIZE GENUINELY (no excuses, you know what you did and you need to tell the truth before anyone is ever going to believe you've changed), and then finally DO BETTER, reflect on what you can improve upon and do that, and then once you've gotten yourself worked out, work on doing things which can make up for the shitty things you did before. People can and will change over time, and some people will do shitty things, but wallowing in misery over getting called out for such mistakes only seeks to make things worse for those you hurt. (EDIT: Also for God's sake if you're a celebrity, content creator, or public figure, don't whine about cancel culture and actually TRY to be a (big shocker) GOOD INFLUENCE ON YOUR FANS)

The Creator Clash Is Here To Stay: Creator Clash 2 Recap & Results

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

By Hector Franco

Published: April 16, 2023

Tampa, FL: At the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Amalie Arena, the second annual Creator Clash took place in front of another thunderous crowd in Tampa, Fl. The Creator Clash 2 proved to be another successful event, and much like all sequels, the second edition was bigger and louder than the first, with a deafening audience at full attention all night.

In the main event, for the second year in a row, Ian “iDubbbz” Washburn, one of the creators of the Creator Clash, headlined the charity boxing event. For the second show, he took on the YouTube star of Wassabi Productions, Alex Wassabi, in a four-round cruiserweight match. Both participants made their professional boxing debut and put on a stellar show for the lively crowd in attendance.

In the first round, it seemed like Wassabi was on his way to an early stoppage using his speed to land clean and punishing blows on Washburn. As the rounds went on, iDubbbz worked between Wassabi’s combinations landing more and more, pushing the Montana native back.

As fatigue set in, both men looked eager to land the punch to end the fight. After four rounds, the match went to the scorecards. The judges scored the fight a majority decision with two scores for Wassabi at 39-37 and one draw at 38-38. With the victory, Wassabi is now 1-0 as a professional.

In the co-main event, former WWE star John Hennigan, formerly known as John Morrison, went to battle with Epic Meal Time’s Harley Morenstein. The hype and anticipation for the match lived up to the billing, with each having an epic entrance. Hennigan entered with wrestling Hall-of-Famer Hacksaw Jim Duggan while Morenstein came through the crowd causing an explosion in Amalie Arena.

Hennigan, one of the more well-known athletes on the card, was trained by MMA veteran Josh Barnett. Morenstein put himself in the best shape of his life in preparation for the match, losing up to 30 pounds. But the pro-wrestling star was able to roll through his foe, dropping him in all three rounds before the fight was finally stopped. Hennigan had his hands raised in victory with a third-round stoppage.

The self-proclaimed “Soft Boi,” Ethan “CrankGamePlays” Nestor, proved to be anything but soft at the Creator Clash 2. The video game commentator took on Pokemon card master and former ninja warrior contestant Lee “Leonhart” Steinfeld.

After two back-and-forth rounds with both having their moments, Nestor landed a series of punches with Steinfeld on the ropes. The flurry put Steinfeld on the floor, and while he did get up before the referee’s 10-count, the fight was immediately stopped. Nestor walked away with the third-round TKO.

Taking on the most significant challenge of her life thus far, professional cyclist and YouTube host of the show “Challenge Accepted,” Michelle Khare, stepped in the ring with Canadian chess player Andrea Botez.

The fight was competitive, with neither Botez nor Khare able to land something that caused severe damage. Of all the fights on the card, Botez and Khare resembled pro fighters as their training paid off. All three judges scored the fight for Khare with the same score of 49-46.

In the first of two Heavyweight bouts, Arin “Egoraptor” Hanson of the YouTube series GameGrumps battled with YouTuber and software engineer Jarvis Johnson. Hanson and Johnson ran at each other like bulls in the first round, trading hard punches.

Both men stunned each other at times. Hanson, who fought in the first Creator Clash, used his experience to overwhelm Johnson in the second, unleashing a salvo of punches with the Engineer in the corner.

Johnson had taken enough damage and waved himself out of the fight giving Hanson a second-round TKO.

Haley “Yodeling Haley” Sharpe entered the ring with a chip on her shoulder, looking to get a win after losing at the first Creator Clash to Justa Minx. Sharpe exacted vengeance against one of the crowd favorites of the event, Marisha Ray, in a super lightweight bout. The response to Ray was roaring throughout the match as she had the majority of the crowd on her side.

The crowd energized Sharpe, who cut through the defense of Ray, landing almost at will. Improving her performance from last year in every facet, Sharpe dominated every round, hitting Ray with power jabs and right hands. All three judges scored the match unanimously for the stage performing Tik-Tok star.

After the fight, Sharpe expressed that she was looking forward to enjoying herself.

“I want Krispy-Kreme,” Sharpe said in the post-fight interview.

Former professional Fortnite battle royal player, Myth, faced off against Muscle Party channel creator Brett “Hundar” Hundley in a cruiserweight bout. Many were looking forward to this match, with it having the potential of being the most action-packed of the night. The 23-year-old Twitch streamer with 7.4 million followers made quick work of the in-shape Hundar landing a well-timed right hand that sent his opponent to the canvas.

Hundar showed enough grit to make it to the end of the round. In the corner, the referee assessed that enough damage was done to Hundar, who still seemed to be on unsteady legs. The referee stopped the fight at the end of the first, awarding Myth with the first-round TKO.

In the second female fight of the night, Australian video game writer and journalist Alanah Pearce was tested against YouTuber and film composer Mika Midgett aka RIPMika. The bout was one of the more strategic of the event, with both choosing to take their time and measure their attacks.

Pearce was able to land at a more consistent rate with straight right hands and jabs at Midgett. At times Midgett was relegated to throwing one punch at a time. However, in the fifth and final round, the two battled to the delight of those in attendance.

In the three judges' eyes, this was one of the closest matches of the night, with Pearce winning a split decision. Two judges scored the fight for Pearce with scores of 48-47, and one judge gave Midgett the win with a 48-47 score.

Comedian and YouTube Vlogger Chris “Raygun” Maldonado faced off against Fitness YouTuber William Haynes. Using his height and reach advantages, Haynes kept “Raygun” at a distance. At the end of the first round, a right hand landed that sent Maldonado down for a knockdown.

Haynes would continue his onslaught, turning up the heat in the second round. In an exchange, Haynes landed a right hand and then proceeded to follow up with a barrage of punches. The referred stepped in, stopping the match at the 1:50 mark of the second. Haynes was composed for his first time stepping in the ring, keeping his cool at every point of the bout.

One of the most anticipated matches of the night was between Nathan “Dad” Barnett and AB “Starkilla” Ayad of the H3 Podcast. Both creators were part of the first Creator Clash in 2022, receiving arguably the most deafening reactions of the entire event. Amalie Arena exploded when the two made their way down the ring, with Dad running down and jumping over the ropes.

Dad went after Ayad with a vengeance, landing left hands and right hooks one after the other. Ayad responded with combinations as the two threw hard power punches. Adding to his repertoire, Dad landed a series of body shots that ultimately led to his victory. Ayad was unable to return from the corner for the second round forcing the referee put a halt to the match. Dad would take home the TKO at the end of the first.

Afterward, Dad would announce plans to join the world of sports entertainment, issuing a challenge and trash-talking WWE superstar Seth Rollins.

In the super flyweight division, League of Legends Twitch streamer Jaelaray took on voice-over artist Abelina Sabrina. In one of the standout entrances of the night, Sabrina came out to a mariachi band to a loud ovation. Jaelaray immediately went to work, landing a series of right hands on Sabrina putting the Los Angeles YouTuber on her heels.

The straight right hand landed at will throughout the fight. Sabrina displayed heart, never backing down, and battled back in each round. The judges awarded Jaelaray the unanimous decision victory with scores of 50-45 twice and 49-46.

In the post-fight interview, Jaelaray put out a challenge to Twitch streamer Yungelderberry in hopes of a future match on the next Creator Clash.

Starting off the night's festivities was English YouTuber and Twitch streamer Jack Manifold facing off against skateboarding Tik-Toker and Los Angeles native Dakota Olave. The two battled in a super featherweight bout that set the tone for the rest of the card. The two creators wasted no time going after one another, exchanging blows from the start.

Manifold applied the pressure in each round, but Olave battled back any time his English opponent landed. In the third round, Manifold began bleeding from his nose, invigorating Olave to fight back harder. Both men battled to the end of the bell to a standing ovation from the crowd. After five rounds, the judges awarded Manifold the unanimous decision with scores of 49-46 and 50-45 twice.
