[ForestOmiyaki]

I haven't seen the other video that won but from the comments that I read, I think you shoud've won. This is a very suberb way of turning a game like Super Smash Brothers Brawl into something like a music video; all the editing you did to make it time in with the music was what made this video all the more better in my opinion.

[Mythinu]

this is awesome. faved :D

[Rusty43138]

Yeah, man, I'm watching the vid that won that film festival and... Yeah, they must have bad taste. I mean, not just that the vid isn't that good, its Star Wars. Thats probably the main reason they picked it as the winner. Yours is far superior

[LuigiFan104]

U HAVE MAD SKILLZ

[drumminglink]

this video is amazing, though i have one question: where did the texture hack on Zelda come from? seriously, that looks awesome!

[lXJoseOleXl]

you have too much time on your hands

btw this is littleones brother :D

[022107]

Lyrics: (Sorry if it's long)

Soaking through

Colours that hold us up against the wall

Soaking through

Colours that hold us up against the wall

Hold your colours against the wall,

When they take everything away,

Hold your colours against the wall

(Twisted the knife and opened your eyes) x 12

[022107]

Soaking through

Hold your colours against the wall,

When they take everything away,

Hold your colours against the wall

Soaking through

(Twisted the knife and opened your eyes) x 8

[022107]

Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,

And saw what laid beneath,

Don't try to save yourself,

The circle is complete,

We're reaching out and to tell you,

Nothing else can touch me

Soaking through

Hold your colours against the wall,

When they take everything away,

Hold your colours against the wall

[022107]

Soaking through

(Twisted the knife and opened your eyes) x 4

Ahhh, she looked into your eyes,

And saw what laid beneath,

Don't try to save yourself,

The circle is complete

[022107]

(Twisted the knife and opened your eyes) x 8

Fading gently,

Soaking through,

and starting not to show at all

We're reaching out and to take you,

Nothing else can touch me

[022107]

Soaking through

Hold your colours against the wall,

When they take everything away,

Hold your colours against the wall

Soaking through

Hold your colours against the wall,

When they take everything away,

Hold your colours against the wall

[BloodraHizoraki]

Aw man! I thought you were going to win for sure! They probably picked the Stars Wars vid because the so called 'jury' are fans. To me, your vid should have won. Pretty epic may I add! =)

[Terron145]

Me and my friend saw the 'winner' and all we can say is this:

"What the fuck?! How in the name of God did Mega Blue Blasta or Yashanyu1 lose to this piece of trash?! The voice acting is horrible, there's no emotion of any kind, and it just plain sucks in general." I can't believe that won. My friend just said the 'winner' deserves to be T-bagged by a cactus. I'm astonished.

[TheVader74]

OK, While I still feel Yasha's is better, I'm pissed at what won. For one, I know that the winner had to do much less camera work than we have to with Brawl, and the Voice Acting was terrible! The least they could do is show a little emotion! The story netted me for a little, but I still lost interest at 3 minutes.

[Zaphire77]

I know and you're not even aloud voice-acting!!!

[DarkIllusionHokage]

This should be number one, i have never seen such an epic brawl battle scene in my life.

[022107]

Hm, SSBB isn't the jury's kind of thing huh?

[chipman5678]

oh my god!!!, machinima has terrible taste or they felt sorry for the dude I mean it was way suckier than this!

I vote this for the win

[heatran43]

i don't get this film, why does zelda turn dark haired and black dress when marth is in trouble?

[Zaphire77]

WTF!!! That star wars one even had voice-acting, it's gay (I'm guessing the voice was built into the game already) but they picked that over this or nintendo bushido.

[tryTroyCkYToy]

does anyone catch the lyrics from the chorus?

[Slantdude]

sorry you didn't win....

[crazyfeyeet]

does he say "why does it feel like hell when I open my eyes"?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

0:47 Homebrew Channel background ftw

[megablueblaster]

lol

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Lol. I was looking at it and was like "WHERE HAVE I SEEN IT BEFORE!!!"

[LuigiRux]

Cool ;)

[Megaspi]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E

[iluvmario333]

Epic

[DANmakuFailure]

Hold Your Colour. That's a pretty good saying!

[Veggieburger802]

Dude, did you see RyeDragon's video?

Yours pwns his so hard it's funny.

[RyeDragon]

no duh.... and I'm a girl btw

[Veggieburger802]

Holy... WHAT

Okay, I take back everything bad I ever said about you. I'm sorry, I totally just thought you were a guy with a suspiciously feminine disposition. Seriously though, I apologize.

(but I still can't get used to hearing your voice as a girl's voice...)

[Slantdude]

now that response make Veggieburger802 feel uncomfortable.

[lilatino77]

im sorry but i don't get this at all...

it looks awesome though

[IblisStarEvan]

People: Some know who they are, some don't. When you don't know who you are, what do you do? Simple: pretend to be someone else. But they won't take it, so they will fight. Not every battle can be won alone. Sometimes you need some special to show you the right way. So remember this: Hold your color. And if someone takes it, fight for it, because without your color, you're nothing.

[Veggieburger802]

Wow, that was... touching.

[posslum510]

where do we get to see who is in the top 10?

[dustymountain]

dude! You have to make your own movie sometime! epic. Really F***ing epic.

[shadowblitz24]

yeah im fucking voting for u and yashia

[XxknightimeXx]

u got my vote, this is tight

[shadowblitz24]

i might vote for you

[drsusredfish]

mega this is your best vid yet. 6/5. the way you mixed the characters onto the diffrent backgrounds was the best ive seen yet. (They dont look like their on a cheap green screan).the only problem i had with it was the camera during the fight sceans. The camera was a bit to close so some of the action got cut out. Ive played the game long enough to know what they are doing but i still want to see it all happenig. Other than that genius.

[shadowblitz24]

im voting for you but add me

[TJBrawl]

good. i understood marth's and lucarios

zelda not so much...

five stars

[alfo1224]

good,good

[ganas3]

then how od u d that?

[ganas3]

where did u find this SONG!!!!!

[Zaphire77]

it's hold ur colour - just download a youtube video of it and get an mp3 converter, then convert the video to mp3 (music)

[JamztheHedgehog]

that was amazing, great job! :D

[Mwuzh3r3]

This was very well done ^o^

It made absolutely no sence, but seriously, optical rape.

[lucasdefayette]

well put

[nessbrawlaaja]

´´It made absolutely no sence, but seriously, optical rape´´: exactly

[haloid1934]

This is crazy. You know. The message I get from this is, don't be same, burst out. Dare to be different. It kinda reminds me of you Mega Blasta. :D

[haloid1934]

In fact, I think I'll download this video. :/

[super1337will17]

3:44 its like the other marth is thinking:

OH SHIT!

but awesome everything

[almolicious]

very cool. i don't normally favorite videos like this unless they truly amaze me. Favorited.

When you come up to rhode island we better hang out. lol

[sonicfan258]

this is so awesome! xD very epic! x3 5/5 stars!

[Chaosifized]

Marth Looks Funny When He Runs.

This Video Is Amazing!

I Love What It Means, Or At Least What I Think It Means.

[JoesMusicalLife]

I'm slow and tired so I dont get this at the moment but idc, this is still a great vid Ima go advertise it on my facebook :D lol, yes, I'm THAT bored.

[DemonSilva8]

Wow....This is amazing....

[Flamingwindjutsu]

I think I might know what it means... perhaps don't let the alternate palets that everyone seems to play as now take away from the original character? :P

[megablueblaster]

Its little things like this that makes Tigura amazing xD

[sgnalfyr23]

Heh yeah. There's one part I don't get though. The one where there's three views of Marth (2:06) and two of him are running. Why'd you put two views of him running? That's pretty much it.

[megablueblaster]

Because i can D:<

[CRTuesday]

I love it except I dont get it.

It looks pretty and everything.

I mean its even EPIC. But I feel like there is a story behind it and I dont get it.

[megablueblaster]

The point of this video was not just to look good, but i made it so that people think about the actual meaning of it. To use your own imagination to unveil the true meaning of this song/video.

[zeoarashi]

can anyone else type epic?

:D

[123abcrash]

that was the best ssbb vid ive ever seen! it was so epicly hawesome!

[Zaphire77]

Hey - Please cn you tell me how to do that teleport thing - at first I thought you just did a fade transition really fast without moving the other player but I noticed I was wrong so please could you tell me.

[go2marioland]

meh it's not that good

i mean it's okay but not too good

the effects and cool and all but it's just lacking -_-

4/5

and before you flamers sttart flaming (and i knhow you will) this is my opinion I have a right to say whatever I want. if you wanna flame go ahead but it's not going to solve your problems

[Tigura21]

Leave better and more observant criticism and MAYBE you would attract a sensible counterargument from someone rather than be flamed. Stuff like "not that good" and "just lacking" doesn't say much (ex: lacking in WHAT, exactly? elaborate much?). Just a tip. ;)

[Tigura21]

And apparently, being flamed bugs you enough that you had to address that in a comment. You had to "shield" yourself with that pitiful "disclaimer." Your whole comment just screams "I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I'm gonna type this down anyway to make myself look bigger and make flamers look dumb to me (when they don't even need your help to do so)" and it all comes down to who you are that's just as bad as flamers: a griefer.

[go2marioland]

because flamers are a bitch and its completeley pointless.

i have a right to say what I want and I don't want some internet nerd like you to tell me what to do

[Tigura21]

I'm perfectly aware that I'm a nerd, thanks for noticing. :) And you don't want me to tell you what to do? Doesn't the right to say what you want apply to me as well? Like how I can say how much of a self-important, griefing hard-ass you're being right now. You can't even respond well to a civilized suggestion that didn't even insult you in any way other than the griefer comment. I was trying to be nice, you know. :/

[Tigura21]

Well, later, griefer. Have fun crying in response to this comment so you'll have the satisfaction that you "ended the argument." Oh wait, but then I, an internet nerd, would be telling you what to do and you don't like that. So don't. ;)

[Shippiddge]

Hey guys, what's goin' on?

[Tigura21]

Oh, hey, Shipp. Nothing much now, I'm done. How are things with you?

[ChokoMAMBA]

I never said he should slave in front of his computer. I'm just saying, it's like a 4 month interval between episodes.

[Tigura21]

May I remind you that there was a gap between Mega's first two episodes because his old computer crapped out on him and had to get a new one which costs m-o-n-e-y? Also, Dex is only dishing out Gears No More and Freddy and Dee more consistently right now; have you forgotten that HE TOO has also slowed down when it comes to Brawl machinima? He's not even very into making them anymore; he said that before he even decided to put them on hiatus until PAL gets the camera hacks. And Shippiddge...?

[ChokoMAMBA]

alright, you got me...

"And Shippiddge... ?"

[SkaterTrainer]

Whats the name of the song? It's awesome!

[022107]

Hold Your Color - Pendulum

[stinkycheeseauthor]

Mega, this Brawl machinima is one of the best ever made! You did such an amazing job editing. I hope this wins.

[BloodStainedPeach]

Did you re-texture zelda? because she looks so damn epic!

[jasperokker]

i have no idea what the topic is.... but im speechless. absolutely amazing!

[Veggieburger802]

Don't tell any entrants, but I am SO voting for you :D

[pizzadude4321]

AMAZING

[FlatWii]

I still can't get over how great this is. Just Beautiful... =D

[Oondivinezin]

Nice work. I enjoyed this video quite a bit.

[Xaverick]

Nice

[Mochtroid127]

That was great. Just great. I've always wanted to make something like this, but now with WMG taking away all my old VGMVs I can't really find much music to use that isn't copyrighted. Excellent work. :)

[NUnitMinh]

Awesome

[Linkachu710]

3:33 was definatly my favorite part! This is so amazing! I can't possibly imagine anyone beating you in this contest!

[santiaguero17]

[GreenThunder64]

Definetly voting for this.

This is your best work so far, Mega!

[ronixtheotter]

[diablo3132003]

[SuperSketch008]

This is amazing. A very emotional, realistic abstract using Brawl and Sony Vegas. Good work!

[SuperBraxton713]

[weirdoss4]

I like the pose thing at 4:45.

[CSLpro]

1.Megablueblasta

2.Tigura21

3.Shippiddge

[Mysticpez]

[Hexthevex]

Chroma-key or what!

One of the more awesome entries, to be sure!

[warob2000]

And I thought Explosive Battle was awesome.

This...is just beyond words. MegaBlasta, you have broken the standards for Brawl machinima once again.

[Directorman909]

You deserve more Sub's then Shippigde.

[HappyNightmare95]

Epic man,

u have won this compatition

[Teczee]

:O Machinimating gold

[PhenomBuster13]

FREAKIN' AWSOME!!!

[TTPvideos]

[FlatWii]

Immense, you are surely the best BRAWL Machinimator =)

[39par]

This was SO awesome. I'll vote for you ^_^

[Zaphire77]

I swear you are the best machinimator - yes that means I think he's better than all people like shippiddge and dexterboy and luigibrobrawl - they're all awesome but ur the best.

[GeassAlchemist]

O.K.

[PRaaastar]

whoa 0.0 that was like DBZ with swords and magic

[Tigura21]

So... it's like Bleach then? :P

[PRaaastar]

i liked that better wen it was called yu yu hakasho, and i liked that better wen it was called DRAGON BALL Z!

[Tigura21]

Lulz.

[Ferriswheel32]

excelent job that was fantastic you should make more :)

[GeassAlchemist]

OH MY GOD that was absulutly ... well i cant describe in words how absolutley INCREDIBLE that was ... its like WOW omg forever srieosley that was the creaetest thing i have ever watch in my life ... and iv watched alot of things in my life... MEGA you absalutley have my vote 100% YES... (now.... if only i knew how to vote..,.)

[megablueblaster]

Voting stars on the 30th, click the link that is in the description at that time. ^-^

[thanyou]

I loved the choreography, you've got my vote : )

[megablueblaster]

wow, thanks guys ^-^

I'm glad this inspired all of you! :p

[YuseiTheSynchroHero]

Man! All of these entries...they are incredible! Now the question would be who I should vote for! =o I dunno. Most of them are so well done and awe-inspiring!

[Pictocheat]

You really deserve to win.  I wouldn't have your type of patience to do all those effects. Everything was perfect. This reminds me of Critical2Touch's Two Swords One Girl...when I say that, it's a good thing.

[ShadowFrost09]

Truely inspireing and breath taking Mega that was well made video that speak a lot to everyone.

[Blackan]

Dude, you inspire me!

no seriously not only you used a Song I liked, but you used the Right effects with the Mixs of many colours along with it's Theme

the Fight was epic too no doubt about that

All I can say to you and Tigura is good luck! ^^

[electrikefang11]

OMG dude you have to win this...and if you don't win well then they wouldn't really know talent if it bit them on the face. A mixture of the epicness that is DBZ and Brawl it's like mixing determination, anger, vengence and love dude this awesome I am definatly voting for you

[fortyniner235]

This looks awesome but I kinda have one question...

what happened? I didnt really understand ther story =P

[Tigura21]

"When everything you have is taken away, remember to hold your color."

That was Mega's description from his submission link. I believe the point of this single sentence and this video is to make you think about what that means. :P

[fortyniner235]

Well, I got what it means over all, but I don't understand Zelda at all.

[BrawlZero28]

cool

[xperimnt]

You are quite the machinima pro; I really like what I see here. Skillfully directed and choreographed.

[Gibby421]

This is incredible.If you din't win,then the voters must be on something.Something strong too.

[BoltFraction]

I don't know how you did this. I won't even ask. Honestly, this left me speechless.

Action, emotion, drama...

Done. Five stars. Favorited. You definatley have my vote.

..okay, mabye just one little question?

I have Sony Vegas as well, and I was wondering how you did those pulse effects on Marth and Lucario (0:58).

Is it just multiple stacked and faded zooms of the characters?

[megablueblaster]

Yes it is ^-^ And thanks

[1337Sess]

Excellent, hope you win.

[magnasmash293]

haha nice........ this is one of your best works...... definitely voting for this monday

[PorscheCayenneLover]

That was amazing MegaBlasta!! I loved it :D . Thanks a bunch for putting Zelda in there! She is my favorite character and my main. How on earth did you make Dark Zelda's eyes yellow? I could've sworn that here eyes are of a different hue. Did you hack it? Again, awesome vid and I will be sure to vote for you!

[megablueblaster]

When you get a final smash, their eyes turn yellow. And thanks! I appreciate it ^^

[SmashBro24]

This is really well made it's obvious you put alot of time and effort into this. Just a quick question, what video editing software do you use? Good work.

[megablueblaster]

Sony Vegas. And thanks ^-^

[SmashBro24]

Sure thing.

[Tigura21]

Yay, you finally uploaded this on Youtube! Already told ya this, but again... lurves it! :D

[Lingox5]

E-P-I-C

[BlueHat23]

You must of put a lot of effort into that.

[madsagger]

lol "The Number 23"

[SSBVET]

Yeah its being lazy when your working hard. ;)

[ChokoMAMBA]

Hummmm... it doesn't take 4 months to edit ONE episode, sorry. Dexterboy makes videos almost every week.

I'm not saying it's edited better but still.

[megablueblaster]

Maybe its because i have a life aside from making videos on youtube. That makes sense.

[IblisStarEvan]

Yeah! powah to the real life people! xD

[bluenaruto1]

I like muffins :3

If you know what I mean. +_o

[Stoshu1234]

Haha! No.... I dont.

[iJetster]

no... they just put alot of effort into it...and that takes time to make it look so cool...

BlueBlasta edits more than Shipp

[Blackan]

Pretty Artful Megablaster, and you used a Song I like XD

plus the Colour suits the Theme too...amazing job on that one

good luck to you as well

[wwwilliam0024]

damn that was nice!

u deserve that vote for ya

[razoranderson38]

that was just... beautiful and amazing too.

o.o

[megablueblaster]

Gah, i apologize. I was helping someone with a tournament when i was uploading lol

[CNLMCF]

epic. too bad mostly only the subscribers will see this, (the title, description and tags is lacking)

[Rengekii]

Well done.

[darksorakeyblader]

pure fire

[Wanster1]

This is the "Ivy Film Festival Entry ".

Info from Machima

A Super Smash Bros. Brawl music video featuring "Hold Your Color" by Pendulum. When everything you have is taken away, remember to hold your color.

[Otterman003]

Not exactly sure what I just saw, just that it was EPIC!

[super1337will17]

that was amazing!

So its technically a brawl music video?

5/5 and fav'd but why is it called 23?

[peachplumgrape]

LOVE IT!!! XD

[FalcoMaster55]

Beautiful

Your Machinimas will probably be better than Shipps

Maybe
