[SFM H:SR] Seele Disappears in the Sea of Stairs (Multiverse Vistas Winner 2023)

This work is a submission for the 2023 Honkai: Star Rail creator competition.
yeah so i've been playing the funny star rail game for the past two months and i saw they were doing a competition and i thought it would be pretty ballin' if i made an entry and then it quickly spiraled into spending three straight uninterrupted weeks and a ballpark estimate of 150+ hours on it and evolving as an artist in an incomprehensible and completely unnecessary number of ways
i'm not going to pretend i know how to choreograph fight scenes on my own so i used these guys' animations as reference (thank you please forgive me you're really cool)

I can just imagine Bronya somewhere out there looking in horror as Seele accidentally throws like...9 dudes down a flight of stairs.

I'm sick of hearing Natalie's name, occupation, and questions about my needs

Now I can't stop imagining that her experience in the museum event could've been "Throwing people down stairs."

@pixelchrome2 The comment was originally a response to someone who said they were sick of the Star Rail commercials. Guess the comment is gone so now the context is lost

[@kidwithasquid3577]

i love how aware she is with the fact that all of them fell down the same stairs and the comedic timing with the last guy got me cackling like an idiot. amazing work yet again!

"No comment? Not on my watch."

[@brenolk4642]

0:47 I love the tiny detail that she first missed the nudge and went for a second

[@Spudtron98]

That sort of shit is why I love Mirabeau. He's like friggin Hiroyuki Okiura when it comes to making characters feel _human._

[@Jan-bk2qv]

I love how Mirabeau's animating skills just get higher with every video he makes.

[@slapdatbooty2367]

🎶 Can they get much higher? 🎶 😆

I just hope he makes something more passionate with those skills.

I like the last guy actually stops on command and waits for Seele despite being enemies.

[@Azurin_]

I would too, did you see what she did to the other guys?

[@subscriber101able]

I mean to be fair, they seemed like they weren't going to be hostile to her since they were gonna give her a package...

[@Sir_Danks-A-Lot]

It must be nice being able to animate a scythe character again without the shadow of... that *thing* lurking anymore

[@catraaa5261]

Oh you mean that unhinged animated show called "incoherent ship wars" that came out in 2013 and inevitably passed with it's creator?

[@Gloomdrake]

​@@catraaa5261I can't imagine such a thing could possibly exist

[@wittynickame4870]

0:27 The transition into Seele kicking the scythe is some of the smoothest animation I have ever seen. This fuckin rocks.

[@jamesche7496]

I always find that they missed the opportunity to show how she fight during the first time we see her in the cutscene, glad you could make it happen at least for different reason

[@voodoopup4376]

0:24 I love that he got his own scene to highlight how important his role was in all of this

[@nickthepick8043]

Here's a neat fact: At 0:46, when she holds out her hand to stop someone, I learned in a non-crisis intervention training program(Provided by my job) that that specific hand gesture CAN be used to deescalate a potentially dangerous situation. Granted, this is a fight scene(A better fight scene than anything RWBY can do nowadays), but you get my point. Confusion is a good tool.

[@roxashunter8879]

Seele’s expression are awesome, she looked so confused when she realised what was happening

[@YayaFeiLong]

0:36 It's a small thing but this moment where Seele looks around for her scythe is just really satisfying to me for some reason

[@connorlego5229]

I don’t think she was looking for her scythe, I think she was looking for the guy she just threw to the ground

[@devilishlyditto6630]

I'm under the impression she was actually looking for the guy she'd just dropped after he disappeared to fall down the stairs, but regardless it's still a really good animation lol.

[@medhanshmithilesh7859]

tbh the scythe combo after that is just eye candy

[@Adhjie]

Snowbreak fritia idle animation

[@nerfer200]

Yeah, she's not looking for the scythe, SHE'S LOOKING FOR THE GUY

[@oneandonlydumie3251]

By upgrading your character's rarity you'll get their secret ability to throw people down the stairs (also makes super secret ragdoll sounds)

This animation is better than the ones advertised from the actual marketing team 💀

[@homocide2625]

Real

[@dargenflame2500]

Not really but it's good for sure (if we take Seele's trailer as example). And animation... maybe it's just me but it's like was inspired by RWBY series.

[@bingussy2]

​@dargenflame2500 this is a certified ruby rose moment fr

[@danboy12342]

I mean this is Mirabelle Studios we are talking about, but yeah that professor goo/ RWBY vibe is strong

[@Mana-qp4uw]

which one are you talking about? the Seele trailer one?

[@baconmandanthe3rd944]

Dont know if ive said this before but i fucking love your animations and the amount of small little subtle details (like at 0:47 when seele misses the guard when trying to nudge him), it really gives your work a ton of life! Great stuff!

[@fergusabrams1012]

So... A scythe with a gun in it. Why does that sound familiar?

[@rdxzero]

RIP to that. Went downhill

[@xander1480]

Crimson Scythe?

[@greekieshion4501]

I don't know why, but I suddenly get the feeling of rage and disappointment upon hearing that statement. It's like the cries of deluded, screaming man-children resonating to create these feelings in a way to irritate me.

[@laughingman7467]

The original user of the concept of scythe guns, dual wielded a pair of those in No More Heroes 2, Margaret Moonlight who's song is such a catchy mockery of gamers back in the day that's somewhat relevant to this day for me, that I sing along with it cause it feels like sarcasm with the guise of honesty that I gotta give it credit for the effort of mocking my gamer persona IN SONG.

[@LuckyTheReviewer]

Hmmm you know you make a good point. Where have I heard about a scythe also being a gun before? Hnmmmmmmmm. Oh right! The Corufell from Warframe. Man that came out earlier this year, weird I forgot about it.

[@TheEngieTF2]

I like how I literally got a Honkai: Star Rail ad before the video started. Ngl, this looks better than the ads themselves

[@spaztastic7393]

If it’s the Seele ad, then it’s funnier

[@umudoy3243]

damn this should be an actual cutscene in the game, like imagine a companion quest for seele and slap this on that quest for its cutscene

[@TouhouEXPolaros]

I love that no matter the angle it somehows falls in the same freaking Stair.

[@aluwite]

The animation is genuinely so good! The fighting style was reminiscent of *a certain show* and the joke was executed extremely well! As usual, love your content~

After watching this, I have this urge to see your Advice Ball video but with Cocolia and the Stellaron.

[@spaztastic7393]

“you hate it because I LOVE IT” -Cocolia towards Bronya, Seele, and the Astral Express crew

[@warsown4935]

Honestly one of the coolest details in this animation is how we see 6 vagrants in the establishing shot, 5 are showed on screen falling down the stairs, but all 6 ended up at the bottom. But we see that all 6 were actually thrown off but the first one wasn’t shown tumbling

[@Natsona]

Herta needs to send someone to document those stairs.. Afterthought after 6 hours... I know its not the reference is or whatever but nice HI:3rd comic reference

[@emberthecatgirl8796]

Which comic reference?

[@tantris8685]

This is so amazing, you give the characters more life in their motion than the company themselves!

[@Shin-Jin]

Things that Ruby and Seele got in common... they both scatter, uses gun scythe, has a rich bestfriend/gf

[@GalluZ]

What makes it funnier is the Source engine ragdoll sound.

[@daichi8062]

Man, your animations are really good, you did great in this video, you always do, but wow. Also, I loved the odd situation and how Seele was aware of it.

[@heliokester8164]

Your animations just keep getting better and better! :D The fight sequence so smooth and Seele so pretty ❤

Those stairs reminds me of Shiki kicking three zombies off the ledge lmao

[@feiggy]

I haven't seen a fight scene with that kind of hype and humor since Monty Oum. Great job!

[@Valyrjia]

I'm late to the Mirabeau train, but I am so glad to be here, I have not seen this level of solo 3d animating passion since Monty Oum. This is god tier, and references are fine! Edit: nvm apparently i've seen your old dark souls and tf2 sfms. and remembering the mythra kazuya vid suddenly everythings coming together! holy, you are goated with the sauce now!

[@operationkilled]

Imagine her meeting Ruby in the pool party. Greet here and there, talk a little while drinking some NON-ALCOHOLIC drinks. After leaving she accidentially bump Ruby, falling in the direction to the pool area and suddenly get teleport to here 0:25.

Every video I'm just in a state of amazement. How tf do you make those movements so clean. Not just the combat, either-- the smaller things like Seele reaching out for and pushing that guy-- so crisp. Enjoyed this one thoroughly, hope you're doing well enough to keep it up.

What a nice set of stairs, i hope nothing bad happens if i suddenly trip 5 meter away from it and already at the lower level
