Monty Oum's References and Inspirations
Vložit

- Before You ask me how I know whether these are Monty's actual references or not, pretty much all of these are things Monty has talked about in interviews and podcasts, he has talked a lot about Tekken and Dead Or Alive, certain anime's like cowbow bebop, and in the RWBY directors commentary he mentioned that the robbery in the first ep of RWBY was inspired by cowbow bebop. You may be wondering how or why I put so much from Road 2, one of Monty's lesser known works. well, in the credits of Road 2 he lists the things he referenced, including Bleach (specifically ep 58), Halo (Obviously), Tekken, and Tom Yum Goong. It was basically free clips for me to include here. I watched Soul Eater recently and saw the clip Monty used as reference for Dead Fantasy III and I lost my crap, I was dancing around the room because I was so surprised and excited.

Okay… NOW tekken starts making a LOT more sense 💥
Yeah, makes sense, knowing Monty's love for martial arts and basically all of his creations, it really shows how much he got inspired by and the things he loved that he put in his work.
Didn't know Blake's attack on the Nevermore was from Raiden in Metal Gear.
Referencing other cool fight choreography and adding your own flair to it should be the standard for action choreos nowadays. No doubt Monty would've taken the entire genre to the next level at this point.
I am interested to see where Monty would be today if he were still here. Even with everything he has done, my playlist filled with all his work still feels like too little.
I thought it was Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children
The Buhumut Fury fight
Now people have seen Monty Oum fight choreography and people just put in game and I love it
The bgm makes this video a whole lot better, so hype
He was taken from us too soon.
After seeing some Tekken I just knew it would be Monty's thing, cool to see he already had some stuff from it
Remember when monty had a past job about making movesets. I think he's the one who made those moves
He worked on Afro Samurai and a game that was cancelled. He never worked on Tekken or Dead or Alive. But he did mention a lot in interviews about referencing Tekken and DOA.
Monty referencing movesets from the game DOA makes perfect sense though. Because he had DOA characters in his Final Fantasy vs DOA videos (Dead Fantasy). They are supposed to fight like that against their opponents.
Monty Oum was always the best sadly he died too soon
Me: So i have a project and I want the animations to be as awesome as rwby and dead fa-
Monty from the grave: play more Tekken
Me: Oh well alright then...
Awesome compilation, brother!
3:54
two things:
that isnt tekken.
also that move from doa is actually a reference to the protector by tony jaa (its in the fight against 50 + men at around 2:44 minutes starting from the flashback)
cool video tho
Do you think you could make a longer version of this video, cause I would like to know more about the stuff that inspired Monty and his work.
I will keep track of all my findings.
Check out the videos "What was Monty Oum's vision for RWBY" parts 2 & 3, I hope these videos help.
This is really good. All great choreography is inspired from somewhere. Thanks for the video
Damn I’m completely blown away
this video is how i find out there there were final fantasy and dead or alive crossovers
I did this video and CZcams took it down. Nice that you made this.
Thank you for this. I was a long time fan of Monty's work and felt curious what was it that he used for reference when choreographing the fight scenes. I recognized some moves like Black Star's attack in DF3 but honestly can't believe i didn't even consider the actual fighting games like Tekken and DoA (duh) as possibilities. RIP Monty, I'm really certain that if he was alive today, he would make even more amazing stuff.
that's a lot of references🤯
I'm pretty sure the spin at 3:20 is from Naruto where Rock Lee is doing that to Gaara in the Chuunin Exams
I wish I could have seen more works before he passed.
In order to make well built scenes of action, it is best to understand what you are going for. Monty Oum did his by referring to other epic scenes, and making new fight scenes to fit the characters at the time. It does help to take some time on understand what you are trying to go for.
0:12 Didn’t Tag 2 come after?
Most new tekken games make reference to the older games. That slow motion punch is basically a tekken signature shot.
@@AKMotions I was referring to the scene where Angel makes her appearance in the tag 2 intro.
@@sonomni Yes, TTT2 is from 2011 and Dead Fantasy 2 is from 2008.
Huh, interesting, never knew, at least not when I initially watched it all
peak inspires peak at its finest
I'm a doa player, and i did not even notice the moves he took from the games for the respective characters? Shame on me. Also i always thought he got major inspiration from games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta... His animations give me same vibes as these game cutscenes
Man now i miss 2012
I wanna mention that in Monty's most famous animation, Haloid, after Master C. (MC for short) breaks ZSS's power armor, and she starts fighting MC with her plasma whip gun, ZSS spins around with her whip-gun treating the whip part like a a sword (She's like a Beyblade). She lands a barrage of hits onto MC as she twirls.
I think it's a reference to one of the fight scenes in this Chinese film called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" from year 2000
Here's the video, skip to 3:35 : czcams.com/video/DzkhVVFRIIg/video.html&ab_channel=SceneCity
This makes me want to go watch Dead Fantasy, Haloid and Monty's other works again.
Does anyone know name of the songs playing in the background?
I'm pretty sure the one from 0:01 is a Tekken theme.
Look up the Tekken 5 opening. Both songs are there
@@AKMotions Oh thank you.
Also great work on the video.
I now see where some of the references that i missed came from.
Monty was one of the reasons why i wanted to try 2D/3D animation. To create fight scenes and more.
And why to not give up on your dreams.
0:42 is actually one of Kasumi's moves, its not a tekken reference
No wonder Tony Jaa's fights(especially Ong Bak 2) remind me of Mounty Oum's.
Rinoa’s scene was not a Tekken Angel reference as her scene came way before. Kasumi’s move is hers; Not an Alisa reference.
I believe you on the first one. That was my mistake. But you ain't gonna tell me Kasumi wasn't a Tekken reference.
I miss construx adventures a lot
Me too, but my love and passion for creating Construx Adventures has moved on to other projects. Later down the line you may end up far more content with what I put out then than construx adventures. I kinda wish someone else made Construx Adventures so I can still watch it. It's like "Oh man why did they cancel this series? Oh right, I was the one who stopped working on it".
@@AKMotions ok makes sense 👍
Tekken tag 2 came after.
Yeah that one was my mistake
Is a Mark 5 gen 1 from halo combat evolved
0:50 🗿🍷
What’s the music?
Tekken 5
Dude some of these dead fantasy moves were inspired or copy from Tekken not the other way around, for Tifa who give combo kicks to Ayane in DF2 were Chun li kicking skills from Street Fighters, play some games first to get your facts right.
That's what the video is about. I am not saying tekken copied Monty that makes no sense. Quick question. How do you know Chun Li was the inspiration?
@@AKMotions Quick answer. Its on wiki and then content no.5 trivia.
If that's true, that's cool. But I didn't even put that scene (tifa kicking ayane) in this compilation. So how can I have gotten it wrong?
