Haloid creator mashes up Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive

After pitting Master Chief and Samus against each other, animator Monty Oum now renders the results of the Final Fantasy universe intersecting with Tomonobu Itagaki's fighting franchise, Dead or Alive. If you take issue with saucer-eyed women pummeling each other in ways that defy logic and gravity, avert your eyes and hide your children (advent or otherwise) before the interminable Matrix music kicks in.

Why are Kasumi and Yuna so upset with one another? Why are bullets so utterly useless? Why hasn't someone made Super Smash Sisters yet? Clearly, we're asking way too many questions. Just enjoy the mad choreography and know that if it's anything like Haloid, love can eventually bloom on the battlefield.

[Thanks, Kamizar]

Oh my fucking god.

WHAT.

sinergy: Oct 13th 2007; 4:06PM

Um, why does it stop half way through? O_o

Seth: Oct 13th 2007; 4:10PM

Action was taken up a notch. nicely done! Not a big fan of either franchise, but the animation quality was excellent.

Mr Khan: Oct 13th 2007; 4:14PM

Yeah, you definitely see a large increase in production values, much better character models, scenary, and coordination

Of course, it won't have as much impact as Haloid did unless it ends in a lesbian grope-fest...

Brandon: Oct 13th 2007; 4:14PM

The DOA girls are way too endowed for such acrobatics, they would rupture an implant.

On topic, the choreography is top notch. I can't wait to see the rest.

BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad): Oct 14th 2007; 1:24AM

We can only hope.

tyetheczar: Oct 16th 2007; 10:43AM

Righto, oy!
It would be even awesomer if Haruhi Suzumiya came and rocked out, oy.
Wait...NO BOUNCING?! HERESEY!
Otherwise, this guy is just....He could reVIVE the movie industry with his talent!

BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad): Oct 14th 2007; 1:25AM

What the... That was meant as a reply to Mr Khan... Curse this reply system!

Nessman: Oct 13th 2007; 4:14PM

as spectacular as it is, i'm 90% sure the author used the Final Fantasy X renders from the actual game, since i've seen some of them on other sites that people managed to get a hold of the actual files through some leak or something. It's spectacular either way i'm just saying those are probably the original versions,whether that makes it less incredible or more authentic is up to you, it's just my two cents.

flameofdoom666: Oct 13th 2007; 5:35PM

They are the Final Fantasy X-2 models.

BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad): Oct 14th 2007; 1:27AM

And the DOA girls look like they were ripped directly from the Dreamcast/PS2 games.

Still well animated, though.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): Oct 13th 2007; 4:18PM

Great vid. Though I know there's going to be some retard who's like, "THIS VID IS DUMB BECAUSE BULLETS DON'T DO ANYTHING. I LUV REALISM."

Kazi: Oct 13th 2007; 7:13PM

Ah, realism. That was thrown out the window when a fight broke out here. Ninjas don't fight, they kill.

Lone Starr: Oct 13th 2007; 4:19PM

Saucer-eyed women?

:/

rom: Oct 13th 2007; 4:30PM

So...ummmm...yea..Can we get this guy working on feature length movies? He seems to be doing a better job than Uwe Boll and whoever made that Dead or Alive movie.

Negativecool: Oct 13th 2007; 10:52PM

It was (Pronounced)*OO-V-Boll* that made the DoA movie. *OO-V*...get it right if you're going to criticize him;)

why not the LS2LS7?: Oct 14th 2007; 12:02AM

negativecool:
No, DOA isn't a Uwe Boll movie.

What exactly was the point of your post anyway?

Negativecool: Oct 14th 2007; 2:37PM

My point was JUST to make fun of Uwe Boll. Since he just sent out a lame video explaining how to pronounce his name in which he stated that if "you are going to criticize me at least get my name right."
Holy christ relax people.

Fiore: Oct 13th 2007; 4:36PM

Who's the woman in black that showed up at the end? I've never played an FF game, so I woundn't know.

Syphon: Oct 13th 2007; 4:47PM

The girl in black is Tifa from Final Fantasy 7

Kattleox: Oct 13th 2007; 4:52PM

That's Tifa from Advent Children AKA post FFVII ending. If she's half as good as my endgame Tifa was, we'll have three beheaded DoA girls in the next video.

Negativecool: Oct 13th 2007; 10:56PM

-Kattleox

There would be 6 beheaded girls at the end of the video if Sepheroth came in, disgusted by the pussy cat fight, and ended them all quickly with his huge, long...ugh sword.

Stu: Oct 13th 2007; 4:42PM

I'm glad they added someone outside of FFX-2 to the roster.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Oct 13th 2007; 4:58PM

Hhhahahaha, just like Haloid, I laughed through the whole thing. Great stuff.

JontheNinja: Oct 13th 2007; 5:07PM

damn those girls can move lots but i noticed no jiggly :( !!

Eddie: Oct 13th 2007; 5:10PM

Am I the only person who just isn't entertained by this guy's videos? I mean the animation is cool I guess, but it's all just repetitive after the first minute. The only draw that he really has with them is the whole mash-up thing, and even then his pacing is terrible so it just makes them boring for the majority of the video.

Semler: Oct 13th 2007; 5:21PM

Yeah, you must be the only person. I enjoyed it.

flameofdoom666: Oct 13th 2007; 5:36PM

It was OKAY. Nothing special

Dio: Oct 13th 2007; 5:57PM

I feel the same way. Crossover battles aren't really my thing, and I don't really like the characters either. But the animations are cool and the guy did a good job.

This is just another one of those "WOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF CHARACTERS FROM POPULAR GAME 1 WOULD FIGHT POPULAR GAME 2"

I just wish people would enjoy their universes =_=

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Oct 13th 2007; 7:55PM

Oh I don't care about any of the characters. I just laugh through the whole thing at the ridiculous choreography. I mean, where the hell are they? They can punch gigantic chunks of stone at each other, and take bullets to the face. It's ridiculous.

LaughingTarget: Oct 13th 2007; 9:02PM

I feel the same way. It comes down to why they are even fighting in the first place. It is clear they're all immortals. Hell, I was waiting for Connor MacLeod to show up and lop off a head and watch a nice Quickening or something. Instead, nothing. It just drags on and on and when you think it is done (ie, watching the little indicator on the bottom head toward the end) and a resolution is forthcoming ... whammo, to be continued, you just watched a few minutes of this stuff to find out you have to watch even more just to get some resolution as to what the point of the battle is. Well, I don't think I have to. There is only one way a three-on-three battle can go when everyone has God-mode turned on ... they kiss and make up.

This is pretty much just like the Final Fantasy VII movie. Yes, it is nice to look at and the technical achievement is remarkable, but the entirety of it is empty.

Sidepocket: Oct 13th 2007; 9:08PM

Obviously you never heard of a test animation reel.

Fuck, one of my friends got hired by Pixar, all he did was show a 30 second clip of a bug in a blank white room scratching his ass. No joke.

LaughingTarget: Oct 13th 2007; 10:07PM

This guy put way too much effort into this for a test animation reel. If no one bothered to hire him after the first one given its popularity, a second one isn't exactly going to change anything. If this guy is already hired on doing this kind of work, why put this junk out?

heckthor: Oct 14th 2007; 9:16AM

Its not that is so Cool cuz it has hollywood like values but its the fact that its done by some guy that is not even know for anything else but his videos thats whats impressive and also that believe it or not its entertaining or at least for most of us... if u dont like dont watch it, its pretty simple...

LaughingTarget: Oct 14th 2007; 10:26AM

Can't decide we don't like it if we don't watch it. The argument works for a second time though. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. That is why the previous sentence/cliche exists.

Ghen: Oct 13th 2007; 5:28PM

Tifa has 2 arms full of materia.. thats a 14 materia full on ass whoopin' about to unload.

krazy: Oct 13th 2007; 5:39PM

OHHH YEAAAHH!!! Who doesn't enjoy watching some youthful girls in some sexy skimpy clothing performing something a fat girl can't in many ways, and not even break a sweat with so many wounds which don't show and still have a smiling face oh this is the LIFE!!!
>_>

sinergy: Oct 13th 2007; 6:51PM

you're just jealous YOUR boobs don't jiggle like that.

blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring): Oct 13th 2007; 10:25PM

no, her boobs jiggle too much

mine do too :(

portuga-man: Oct 13th 2007; 6:12PM

final fantasy MEETS dead or alive MEETS matrix fanboy MEETS misogyny MEETS asperger's MEETS lifelessness

internet translation: pure gold.

feel free to downvote this post. i'd expect no less from the likes of people who like this too much.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Oct 13th 2007; 7:56PM

I voted you up because not only did you insult the video but you insulted the fans. You have my support.

randomshagz: Oct 13th 2007; 7:01PM

Super Smash Sisters for your Wii60.

Negativecool: Oct 13th 2007; 7:02PM

Who the hell is this man and why isn't there a religion in his name?!

TheHood: Oct 13th 2007; 8:47PM

LOL
but seriously he has incredible skills.

rdj75: Oct 13th 2007; 7:50PM

I thought it was pretty awesome.

Matt B: Oct 13th 2007; 8:33PM

Another amazing piece by an extremely talented person.

Keep up the great work.

TheHood: Oct 13th 2007; 8:41PM

I enjoyed the video and wish that the creator would get a career at directing hollywood movies.

ThornedVenom: Oct 13th 2007; 11:25PM

He's on deviantArt, and he got recruited by Midway Games after that Haloid wave.

Rein: Oct 13th 2007; 8:47PM

Jesus Christ, that was pretty fucking awesome. He should choreograph for some crazy asian action movie.

Hobo Joe: Oct 13th 2007; 9:09PM

It's not a question of why they're fighting/this video exists/he does these things, it's a question of why not. I've done stranger things. I'm doing a Firefly fan episode with a CG model I made myself. People do odd things in their free time. I'm sure you do too.
