Sakuya vs Dio (Screwattack's One Minute Melee)

[ふねん1]

This couldn't go into my Favorites fast enough. Fantastic choreography throughout, and I love the details from both series. Nicely done dude.

Might be a bit late to ask but...
Why a Metal slug level as the stage ??

It's supposed to look like Cairo, Egypt
That's where the final battle with Dio took place in Stardust Crusaders

I felt I could do a lot more with the destructible background (That I never got to take advantage of in the end... orz) and the objects that came with the game like the cars and that bus as opposed to using the Touhou/Jojo stages.

That and it was the closest thing I could find to Cairo.

[shockdude]

That was fun. Well done.
What's the music that you used in the video?

Cool, ty.
What about the Flowering Night arrange used in the Viewer Poll at the end? I found the track on Youtube but I can't find the name or artist.

Really amusing fight to watch that send me shivers down my spine even after the end! It was also nice that Sakuya won too, thank you for that.

I actually don't know about that one, I animated her victory animation but the music and everything else for the victory screen was done by Mali.

Its a good choice, since for the final fight with Jojo vs Dio. There were also buses being tossed around.

Found it. It's from Alstroemeria Records's trace|phantasmagoria album.

[Raikaria]

But not the other way around.

I knew Jojo long before Touhou.

[Axel Ryman]

Props to Aquila for the animation. Really good, hopefully you can do more.


Also props to whoever chose the UI-70 version of Lunar Clock Luna Dial. Good one.


Had this been Death Battle I'd be scratching my head a bit at the result, but it's not, and overall, I enjoyed this either way. I do love the Time Stop effect. Expected it when I saw the video length though But that's probably cause I know both Sakuya and Dio.

Haven't seen Death Battle, but why the head scratching? I've seen Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but never read the comics, so does Dio have any other hidden abilities or something?

[Firestorm29]

Really enjoyed this one, loved how you had the subtitles, especally for all the MUDAs. The time freeze was nice, too. Showed it to a friend and he said that last part gave him goosebumps.

I do wonder how death battle would approach this. Dio's The World only freezes time for about 11 seconds at it's best, and not sure how easy it'd be for Sakuya to disarm Dio like that. Who knows, enough controversy might turn it into a death battle candidate.

[AJS]

Just gonna hop on the bandwagon and compliment you for the splendid animation as well.  Even though you said you "nerfed" Dio and had Sakuya win because of bias, I still think you managed to give Dio his own chance to shine.  But in the end, Sakuya launching her final attack and outwitting a Jojo character while Luna Dial played was just a masterful stroke.  Major kudos to you, my friend.

I kind of suspected the animator must've been a Touhou fan, since even though they said there's "no research", I thought "there's no way a non-Touhou fan would be able to give Sakuya that much justice." :V

It'd probably be nerfed for DB standards, but in the Jojoverse, Stand users can only be defeated by other Stands, due to Stands going so far as to physically protect their users, whether the user wishes it or not(For example, Kujo Jotaro takes a Police officer's gun, puts it to his head, and fires the bullet, which his stand catches. To note, it's pretty much right at his head). At the same time, their Stands can only be seen by other Stand Users. Since Sakuya doesn't have one, she wouldn't be able to see it


Again, it would probably be nerfed by Death Battle standards, so who knows.

Kinda curious what would happen if Sakuya attacked Dio while in frozen time..... lot of possible outcomes, although my money would be on her being able to hit him.

Anyway, great animation! Really enjoyed it, and the fact Sakuya won is even better
