Dead Fantasy 2

No matter how many times I watch this, I can't get over how awesome the part where Tifa suplexes Hitomi and then gets her with magic is.

This was better than haloid/dead fantasy part 1 IMO. Tifa's stop/haste parts were awesome.


I dunno if this was mentioned yet, but this guy started working for Midway Games in 2007 as their Combat Designer.

Yeah I love that part too. Though Rinoa and especially Kairi kindda kills the rest for me

that was more original and done better than 99.9% of CG animations i see in video games.

Character face detail and scene detail is not so much though. You can see the lava waterfall is just rendered using moving-non-animated texture. When they go down the building, there's almost no friction effect, the lava-freezing effect didn't count the 3d euclidean distance, instead it just moves in 2 dimension. etc etc.

But the choreography is simply awesome.

I agree he should have worked on the detail of the background a bit more. I mean, the scenes where it was just the camera panning over a terrain could have been better but when it comes to fight scenes I don't really care what the background looks like. Face detail is kinda in the same boat, though since he modelled all the characters himself (and I can't model that well yet) I don't feel like critisizing that aspect because I think they're lovely.

Quite possibly the best animation I've ever seen.
