Video Game / Friday Night Funkin': Antipathy

Friday Night Funkin': Antipathy is a Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod created by Paledoptera that crosses over with Madness Combat, more specifically Madness Combat 6: Antipathy. It starts out with Hank J. Wimbleton attacking Boyfriend and Girlfriend, leading to Boyfriend challenging Hank to a rap battle, and from there things go off the rails, both figuratively and literally.

Tropes

• Adaptational Gender Identity:
  • Girlfriend goes by "It" as well as "She" in this mod, alongside having a snail-themed set of neopronouns.
  • Though Nevada's inhabitants having No Biological Sex meant they were typically some flavor of nonbinary by default, Hank in this mod is more explicit with it than his canon counterpart, going by "It" "They" and "He" as well as Metal, Gore, and Grunt-themed neopronouns.
• Adaptational Species Change: Boyfriend and Girlfriend are given grunt counterparts that serve as alternate playable characters to the original Boyfriend and Girlfriend. These grunt counterparts are also used during the storymode cutscenes.
• Art Shift: The story mode features cutscenes that are rendered in 3D, in contrast to everything else being in 2D. Hank is also given a cruder, simpler look in the bonus song "Blood Rage".
• Batter Up!: Played with. After Tricky's segment of "Accelerant" ends, Hank tosses his microphone into the air and swings his pipe like a baseball bat to knock Tricky out.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Girlfriend is still her Brainless Beauty self for most of the main week, but when BF is injured and Hank branishes an axe, she drops the stupidity and goes into her demon form to fill in for BF during "Lockjaw."
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: "Lockjaw" shows that Girlfriend suffered no worse for wear after the train crashed, being completely fine as opposed to Boyfriend and Hank being bruised and having rips in their clothing. Grunt Girlfriend subverts this, having emerged from the train crash with messy hair and some rips in her dress.
• Combat Pragmatist: Hank and Tricky make use of their respective weapons in "Trainwreck", continuously swinging at each other throughout the song, which is represented by caution notes that appear in the charting that the player needs to hit. Hitting the warning sign notes allows Hank to attack Tricky and for the player to regain health, while the hitting the stop sign notes allows Hank to dodge Tricky's attacks lest the player loses health. Hank also makes use of his axe in "Lockjaw", in which the player has to press glowing notes in order to help Girlfriend dodge Hank's attacks.
• Cyclops: Gruntfriend reveals herself as one after getting angry.
• Denser and Wackier: The story mode cutscenes are this compared to the original "Madness Combat" series, as they use quite a lot of cartoony sound effects.
• Eyes Always Shut: Boygrunt and Gruntfriend give this impression with how their facial crosses are animated. Its more literal for Gruntfriend, as this is how she hides her otherworldly nature.
• Flipping the Bird: The story mode ends with Girlfriend doing this to Hank after pulling Boyfriend out of a pit he fell into. Hank can only give a deadpan look in response.
• Funny Background Event: Rather, funny foreground event. During "Trainwreck", while Hank and Tricky fight each other on top of the train, Boyfriend and Girlfriend are hanging on to one of the train windows without a care in the world, or at least this is the case for regular Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Grunt Boyfriend and Girlfriend are more panicked, as Grunt Girlfriend is barely holding onto the window with one hand, whilst holding Grunt Boyfriend by his hoodie with her other hand.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: The story mode cutscenes exclusively use Grunt Boyfriend and Girlfriend, even if the player is using the original Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
• Harder Than Hard: In this mod, "Hard" is the lowest difficulty setting. The difficutly settings above "Hard" are "Mad" and "Fucked". And THEN an update added the even harder "EX" difficulty.
• Laughing Mad: Tricky laughs a lot throughout "Trainwreck".
• No Fair Cheating: Attempting to access the debug menu in Story Mode will briefly cause the screen to fill with static, accompanied by a message calling the player out on it.
• One-Winged Angel: Girlfriend assumes her demon form for "Lockjaw". Grunt Girlfriend's version of this form gives her a glowing red eye in the middle of her facial cross.
• Pipe Pain: Hank wields a lead pipe at all times, except in "Lockjaw", in which he swaps it out for an axe.
• Promoted to Playable: Hank in "Trainwreck", in which he faces off against Tricky, and Girlfriend in "Lockjaw".
• Swapped Roles: Boyfriend and Girlfriend switch roles for "Lockjaw", with Girlfriend being the one to do the rapping while Boyfriend cheers her on.
• Traintop Battle: "Trainwreck", fittingly enough, has Hank and Tricky fighting on top of a train.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Tricky disappears from the story mode as quickly as he showed up after "Trainwreck", as he's nowhere to be seen in "Lockjaw".
