[kaoz666]

That is...without a shadow of a doubt...the most EPIC, AWESOME, STUPENDOUS thing I've ever watched on Youtube...EVER. Haggar > Existence.

[Sabin41]

I want to hire whoever narrated this to narrate my life

[FaustXII]

@Sabin41 If I could choose, I would prefer Sir Christopher Lee for that.

[Covondre]

6:20 is what happen to the stone age. #TrueStory lol



[Sabin41]

holy fuck, this is the greatest thing ever, so great I'm calling my first born Mike, it's decided, male or female

[bengalifan]

Bravo Bravo Buy this Bard a round!

[WhoElseButKris]

I love you.

[SMAXZO]

His name should be Mike HagGAR.

[waltage]

EPIC



[kingsman1able]

damn good job on this vid

no kidding you guys did good

[godhumanmonster]

Mike Haggar murdered Galactus with his own bare hands. The Norse Gods can go screw themselves.

[DKFan4Life]

Damn, all that in just Round 3? What else could he accomplish by the end of the game?

[Mitsuraga]

This is absolutely a contender for greatest thing ever.

[meetthenewmans]

EPIC.



[Umbral927]

The only help I can give regarding the music used in this awesome piece are as follow:

First song: Two Steps From Hell - Black Blade

Final song: Two Steps From Hell - To Glory

[WanderingTaoist101]

Make the next ballad I can't wait for the next one! Please! 

[CrossedCelt]

We need a Ballad of Mike Dawson.

[tdn02jfe]

This is just too awesome!

[oneyeseesin3D]

Seriously think about. Every time you use a continue a god is piledriven. 

[GuiltusGrahdus]

I first heard about this guy when I rented Marvel vs Capcom 3, and the ending to this still brought me to tears.

[lordzerosouls]

I don't normally favorite youtube videos.... but when I do, their badass

[irondom]

This is the best thing on youtube.....ever!

[zukuu]

[FuckingEnforcer]

6:26

THE PROPHECY HAS COME TRUE, THE ONE WHO DEFIES THE GODS HAS COME BACK TO KICK OUR ASSES ANEW

[echogarrote]

Perhaps if we look into our Mayor's ancestry we will discover that he is of Dovahkin descent?

[pavlodonix]

Tom Selleck = Mike Haggar

[vermillionalpha]

@pavlodonix Look up Don Frye, THAT is Mike Haggar :)

[andrekisuke]

That's the ballad of Haggar, but the rules are of Guy.

[Arcanenoodle]

I was moved during the span of this piece.

But when Mike Hagar gave up immortality and glory, to save his people, I wept.

[eldontan2003]

i loved the soundtrack!, i know other parts use 2 steps from hell, but what is the music on the odin part

[Phoenix8492]

@eldontan2003

The song is "Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus

[legitimatebusiness]

This may be...nay, IS one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed.

[MrSuper667]

Single tear jerkingly fucking EPIC!!!

[mallratt07]

You can't fuck with the Haggar;

You can't fuck with the Haggar!

No you can't with the Haggar,

The Mayor of Metro City;

The Mayor of Metro City!

Oh the Mayor of Metro City!

He's coming, to take your life...

[SamuraiGhost63]

That.........*wipes tear*............was beautiful

Now Zangief and Hugo needs one :D

[wagnervasc]

That was epic, no words to describe! You should make more ballads like this one!

[retnur]

Best



[loneotaku]

That was epic, thank you good sir. You should be a professional balladeer!

[EbonMaster]

WHY THE HELL DOES ODIN HAVE NO BEARD!?

[KairuAndrews]

@EbonMaster That Odin is from Valkyrie Profile, in which he has no beard. And both eyes.

[Alk3ohol]

I swear I am a better person after watching this. Thank you sir. Thank you.

[Alk3ohol]

HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD! THAT. WAS. FUCKING. AWESOME!!!!

[IzackN]

Absolutely brilliant.

[desupocalypse]

Reelect Haggar! And then for 2012..

MIKE HAGGAR FOR PRESIDENT

[xyanide1986]

The end always gets me.

[Corp1982]

Brilliant! 

[gibbetdochgarnich]

All I can say is......GREAT !!!!

[DvDangerous]

I reached Nirvana by watching this video.

[ChevalierAguila]

Video games as art: exhibit A

[metarusonikku]

For some strange reason, I can't stop applauding!

[drganforce10]

[platefork]

[zukuu]

[Dwish305]

[CallMeRjRose]

You should be a professional narrator

[reynoldscorey]

@CallMeRjRose He is.

[ultimategamer300]

6:08 for pure epicness

[KamiKaZantA]

Orbital piledriver.

It's the only way to be sure.

[TheAshOfOurFriends]

Best thing ever? Best thing ever.

[maikato89]

45 have succumbed to vice.

[Ido013]

That was an epic tale with the right use of the word epic.

[Ido013]

That was an epic tale with the right use of the word epic.

[Yggi11]

Can someone name that AWESOME song in the beginning?

[dancingwolfhowl]

@Yggi11 It was Two Steps from Hell, although I'm not sure which song. All of their stuff is awesome though.

[NeoSeraphi]

That was amazing!

[Eneps]

This is the greatest thing I've watched all year!

[jettmanas]

Funny stuff. Nice use of his Namco x Capcom art. He got a bit of character development in there.

[Antifrost]

Mike Haggar just piledrove Odin from space.

I've seen all I need to see in this life.

[BantuBeiraMar]

Amazingly epic!



[pieoverlord]

This is far too amazing.

[brandonkyden]

thumbs up if Playstation Australia Magazine brought you here!!!!

[Fuddulous]

How long did it take you to compose the ballad?

[ultimategamer300]

its too epic its ITS, over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmigaOne2]

Flawless! Genius! Fantastic! Love the narration what a cool voice.

Mike HaGARRR!

[Perderedeus]

Wow. Just... wow. The prose is quite grand and your selection of music is heartening, indeed.

[SithOnix]

@Perderedeus I believe this is poetry, not prose

[Wolfiono]

Just re-watched this about a month after I first saw it. Still get goosebumps at "ROUND CLEAR". 

[marmite182]

What nickfury102 said

[FlamingKillamajig]

Heh it played one of the warhammer 40k: dawn of war songs. I'm happy he used that song actually.

[nickfury102]

Official Playstation Magazine Australia sent me here.

[TheJobie001]

@nickfury102 Same here lol =]

[lukeskywak34]

NOT NIFFLEHIEM

[phoebostheapollomon]

Hey what's the song that plays when he's falling to earth?

[kilmindaro3]

@phoebostheapollomon

E.S Posthumus - Unstoppable

[Don0rom]

Humanity has served its purpose. We can step into the darkness knowing that we made the universe a better place.

[HyperSentinel]

Holy freakin shit! He just pile-drived Odin from Valhalla to Midgard and killed all his enemies on the ground. That is so epic

[Slateboard]

Why hasn't this reached over a Million Views yet?

[eminem1993]

Best Story Ever Told.

[RetroDamm92]

Seriously make more of these

[LtheOriginal]

This story makes new born babies into men.

[SeshohoCian]

UPDATE YOUR FIRE EMBLEM LP DAMNIT

[KissChad]

lol scared the hell out of me when he said pay attention

[MrBerserkFan]

Epic

[RadicalDreamersOG]

This is EPIC!

[TheAdmiral]

Eddie had to shoot him 9 times to take him down...

[TheREALMindfeeder]

There are no words that the human tongue can pronounce that can describe this.

[Whiteanger2]

@TheREALMindfeeder haralgarbalahhsjvowdn how bout THAT!

[cinsutzusu]

This video has the highest like-to-view ratio I can find (roughly 1 like per 42 views). I approve of this and challenge anyone to beat it.

[odizzido]

@cinsutzusu The ratio would be higher, but you can only like a video once and everyone has watched this video at least 40 times.

[dasstu]

Holy shit dude....!



[Whiteanger2]

i know the song that plays at 3:54 and on!that's unstoppable by E.S. Posthumus

[Triskitout]

*wipes manly tear*

[SuperRayW]

I lost my shit when he pile-drives Odin from space (pile-drove? is there a past tense for that?)

[ZeldaMia]

So that got us halfway through the game, that means there's a part 2 on the way right? Please?

[ThaRainmak3r]

lmfao, SO EPIC

[MrOrbotron]

Which game is this Odin from?

[odizzido]

@MrOrbotron Valkyrie Profile.

[MultiKarmacharger]

Alright, who said games could not be art?

[TehGherkinHatMan]

A masterpiece is surely born

Begot of youtube's tawdry form

You're awesome dude, I'm fuckin sure

This could be love, this could be more

[drmoore718]

music - E.S. Posthumus - Unstoppable

[MrFox1231]

soundtrack?

[cammyplayer]

Kick-ass job, my friend. Curious to see what you'll come up with next.

[wendigogigaslash]

BY GOD!!!!!!!! You beautiful basterd! What ARE you?!

[7000gnomes]

This is sooooo goooodddd!!!! You're a genius, make more!!!

[TheTaiyakiGuy]

You know I find it a bit weird that Haggar can piledrive Odin to death, but a handgun can still kill him.

...But who gives a shit, right?

[jellysnoman]

this has won the internets

[NovaCaneKills11]

I'm pretty sure that Guy and Cody aren't frail and boney

Guy took down Rolento and Sodom

Cody tore threw most of the gear by himself and killed their leader

"But why do I waste time with this idle chatter

For the end they do not matter

this is about the mountain of manliness and swagger

our proud mayor Mr. Mike Hagger!

A GREAT TALE FROM BEGINNING TO FIN

TO YOU MY FRIEND I SAY "EPIC WIN!!!!!!"

[Sojoez]

@axel1001 Thanks for giving me the correct one.

@TheLazyAza Thanks for showing me Two Steps from Hell. My life now has a soundtrack.

[sjcodan]

This is win.

This is not FULL of win,

This. is. WIN.

[TheGreatIbbolia]

My favorite piece was made clear

When Mike Haggar showed no fear

And took Mighty Odin in a powerful brace

Suplexing into the city, From Space.

[VonKunlunBOOF]

@TheGreatIbbolia I think you meant Piledriving from space, but still sounds awesome, lol.

[axel1001]

This comment may get top rated, or may not - The song thats played during the entire Valhalla scene (yes, even the Hagger OWNING Odin) is E.S Posthumus - Unstoppable.

It was also in the Sherlock Holmes trailer. Youre welcome.

[Katingaan]

@axel1001 THANK YOU. :D

Any idea what score plays in the end?

[kintar1900]

In modern times, so crass and brief

A poet's heart has cause for grief

But ho! Look here! No cause for fear!

See Hortytort: a true balladeer!

[RepulsiveJohn]

Epic

[JoshuaLBW]

Simply Amazing = )

[MichaelLeroi]

Odin watched this 41 times

[Sojoez]

Could someone please PM me with what the music was during the 'odin piledriver'? I would really appreciate it.

[TheLazyAza]

@Sojoez its called Black Blade by Two Steps from Hell

They do some pretty amazing epic music, used in a lot of trailers and whatnot

[LordZast]

Great as this video might be, I can't help but suspect that it was largely a clever ploy for the author to again emphasise the correct pronounciation of "Einherjar".

[TheGreeneRoom]

00:58 is that lil wayne? lmao

[Mekkkah]

continue your fire emblem 1 lp please

[Urmean15]

@Mekkkah

What this guy said

[jleszuk]

none could stand before the might of a mustache

[Yggi11]

HAGGAR SURVIVES ATMOSPHERIC REENTRY!

[theuberninja262]

who was the girl in green at 4:11?

[gacouncil]

@theuberninja262 Freya. The Valhalla sequence is from Valkyrie Profile.

[theuberninja262]

@gacouncil cool. thank you.

[BananaFort]

Hey, if you guys want to see more of this guy's amazing work, go search "Gritty Pokemon Crystal" and check out the first result. There's nothing this guy does that isn't incredible, I swear.

[Savage6s]

I went out and bought Final Fight just because of this.

[AnneKira]

6:30 Mind fuck O.o

[Rorije2006]

That was epic! :o

But anybody who played Saturday Night Slam Masters will know that he sold his soul to wrestling. Tragic, how the heroic fall.

[Digiwario]

@Rorije2006 ...anyone who knows MIKE HAGGAR would know he was a wrestler before he became the mayor of Metro City. sooooo no. He just got more bad ass over time. lol

[BeautifuButPsychotic]

@Rorije2006 Slam Masters is set before Final Fight. In the American translation it says after, then again it also claims Gunloc is Guile's brother when in the Japanese dialogue he's not any relation to Guile.

[WolfpunchDotCom]

Fucking Epic.

[Dinictus]

If I may ask for moment's time,

consider to put to words your rhyme

within closed captions Youtube provides

to make them seen should the viewer decide

[truedivinedemon]

Please let there be more shit like this coming out!

[playman350]

Yahtzee! :D

[pendell2]

Storyteller, thy tale's well told

you should spin your merry thread for gold

Well told the tale, well chosen the score

Viewers of youtube clamor, 'More, more!'

[TheTaiyakiGuy]

I guess there's 38 members of the Mad Gear still around.

[Platinumshark1]

Why is youtube only showing my views?!

[torg1]

I don't think calling this thing awesome does it credit. Nay this is the reason Youtube; perhaps the internet; was created. Never have I heard such and epic telling of Mike Haggars story, it almost equals the game it self. Hopefully this will not be last Ballad Of Mike Haggar.

[faint255]

I'm a sucker for these kind of things. God i'm such a dork but meh said with shrugged shoulders.

[odizzido]

this is one of the best fucking things I have ever seen. Simply amazing.

[CrimsonComms]

Haggar! England needs your help right now!

[AzureSepulchre]

@CrimsonComms Her subjects enraged, her lawmen flayed;

a once-mighty kingdom now calls for aid.

Can Haggar crush the tactless Tories,

'ere riots and thefts become rather gory?

[Bloodlightseries]

Holy shit! This is EPIC. You win, good sir. Well done. Nice choice on the music too. Thanks for the subscription, it has been returned in kind.

[ejflex]

How this only has 137,000 videos... I have no idea. I played Final Fight with vengeance and guile in my youth. I took down Mad Gears gang again, and again........ .. .. and again. Each time Mr. Mike Haggar was my character of choice. Partly because he reminded me of my Dad... partly because of his one suspender. This is CLASSIC. May Thor bless you on your epic quest of AWESOME.

[Vakrian]

*banana grin* that was fucking epic you sir win 1 Internet :)
