Mario and Luigi vs Sephiroth (Sprite Animation)

#mario #luigi #marioandluigi #finalfantasy #sephiroth #cloudstrife #spriteanimations #spriteanimation #smbz
I'm late to the meme, but I finally made a finished animation! :D. I'm both proud and not so proud of it at the same time, mainly cuz I need to fix my pacing and I got lazy near the end, as you'll probably tell.
If I ever do upload again (which most definitely is gonna be awhile), it'll be much smaller videos since this is the biggest one I've made so far.

Loved the retroness of it all aswell as the Mario & Luigi game style! Lots of potential! Cant wait for more!

[@StardustDragonZ]

Thanks alot :D Hopefully I can find the time to get some smaller test videos finished throughout the coming weeks.

My favorite part of this it how it stay true to Mario and Luigi dynamics. Mario lead the attacks and Luigi make sure Mario attacks lands and provides room for Mario to brrath. They also make sure Luigi heavy attacks are clear open before they use it to avoid it missing or Luigi getting hurt. People forget these two are a team and partners as well as brothers. They work better when together.

Finally, a version of the fight where everyone gets a hit in. Too many people make it just "Mario and Luigi stomp", and while the animation is peak, it doesn't make the fight interesting. Best one I have seen so far.

[@StardustDragonZ]

I too punch myself in the face for not making it more interesting, and I actually researched Sephiroth while making this. But I had a bad work ethic, which really burned me out and costed what it could have been

[@nameless5512]

Even without most of their equipment, they decide to go easy on him? Unusual, but a welcome surprise.

[@BonnieBoestar]

Does that mean Cloud is about to fight Bowser? But for real, this is amazing, you did a really good job. It would have been fun to see more powerups than just the cape being an all around super power, but the M&L game references were a real joy, and the editing was seriously good! Hope to see more.

[@StardustDragonZ]

Believe me I wish I did more myself, and that's gonna be my goal for the next one Also Cloud vs Bowser... Interesting indeed, but I dont think I'll have the confidence to make that

If Mario and Luigi had every single ability from each of their series (RPG’s, base games, and etc.), then they’d actually be able to wallop Sephiroth together, at least his base form. They could battle him in his other forms but just not as well.
