I've been dying to make a Kasumi GMV set to Red Like Roses from the RWBY series, which is insanely funny as RWBY would NOT exist without Dead or Alive, as Monty Oum did create the Dead Fantasy web series - where Dead or Alive characters fight Final Fantasy characters. It's insane as it sounds and I can't stress how cool it is when two of your special interests actually have a very vital link to each other.

I know that Red Like Roses Part II is a 'conversation' between Ruby Rose and her mother Summer Rose, and the black hole her mother left her after um. not returning home from her mission (which was doomed). I kinda wanted to apply that to Kasumi and Hayate, because all of the events of DOA occur because of his fight against Raidou that lead to his comatose state, and well everything that came afterwards were the consequences of that. While this is Kasumi-centric, I do view both Kasumi and Ayane being 'Ruby Rose', and while Hayate is their older sibling, their absence left the same kind of black hole that Summer Rose did when she didn't return. It's just. Hayate did come back...

Unfortunately during the making of this GMV, Clipchamp, the software I use to make these music videos, had an awful update recently that had me constantly exiting and re-entering the program whenever the smallest of editing changes was made during the editing process.

It demands to be constantly synced to the cloud, so I kinda have to ditch Clipchamp as a video editing program. It sucks because its legitimately easy to use and I do really like how it's layout works. This is kinda why the beginning part's editing/transition kinda sucks, it's just I was so focused on getting this project done so I didn't have to deal with the nonsense the application was putting me through. It was driving me THAT mad. Also this being long made it super hard to get 1080p version that I could compress as the 1080p version of this video exceeds online video converters which you have to pay for >:( so sorry on the bad quality for this one.....

Before anyone asks; No, I won't stop making these. It just means I need to find different video editing software: I'll probably go with Lightworks and OpenShot. Maybe DaVinci Resolve, or if none satisfy me, I'll just re-download and older version of Clipchamp and just hope that it doesn't update itself.

The majority of the footage used for this video, from DOA2 Ultimate, DOA3, DOA4, Warriors Orochi 3 and gameplay footage from DOA5, DOA6 and Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge are my own recordings. The cut scenes from DOA: Dimensions, DOA5, DOA6 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma are not mine, and instead are from the following sources:

DOA: Dimensions Chapter 1 by Odin is mnogih

Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma - Obaba Boss Battle (Mentor Difficulty) by Saltyman

This is a remake of the very first GMV I ever posted to tumblr! This version has added bonuses: it's 2 times longer than the original with even more footage and better transitions.

Songs used are 'Knock Knock' by Scattle and 'Le Perv' by Carpenter Brut.

99.5% of the footage used from DOA2 Ultimate, DOA3, DOA4, DOA5, DOA6, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are my own recordings. The remaining 5% of the footage isn't my own, which come from the following sources:

Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma - Obaba Boss Fight with Ayane by Saltyman

Dead or Alive 6 Story Mode - Ayane and Marie Infiltration by Kasumi Rina

Ninja Gaiden 4 - Ayane Cut Scene by Nucleartooth.

i know my mutuals are looking at this and thinking: "hey shallow, this GMV is familiar, are you sure you haven't posted this one before?'

Surprise! It's a remake of this Ryu + Hayate QP GMV I made back in early August! It still follows familiar beats/moments, and re-uses the same footage in some places, but there's some new stuff in this one too. I like this version a lot more than the old one, simply because it has a bit more content in it.

Before anyone asks, who's the other Ninja at the start of the GMV, that's Yaiba from Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, aka the NG game we don't really talk about. The cinematics of that game are striking, and I certainly wasn't expecting that opening scene from the game to line up so well with 'Safe Intoxication'. I did make this GMV with the intentions of putting two songs together to make one whole game music video, as demonstrated in this DOOM x RYU GMV one. But it worked so well here, that I could not bring myself to remove it, or split it off into its own video. So that's why it's here. Not really related to the rest of the video lmao, unless you want to read silly (and vaguely spicy) Ryu/Ridley/Hayate lore that's mentioned in my version of the Yaiba game lmao.

BTW the NG3: Razor's Edge footage is in there because one of the Katanas is Hayate's sword, Jinra-maru, a sword that can 'create storms', and that's the CLOSEST we'll ever get to playing Hayate in the Ninja Gaiden games unfortunately. BEGGING Tecmo to make NG4 DLC have a playable Hayate if the game is successful enough.

Music used for this GMV are 'Safe Intoxication' and 'Sky Should be High -vocal version-' from the game, Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-.

Most of the gameplay and cut-scene footage is from my own recordings. However cut-scene footage used from Yaiba, DOA Dimensions, DOA5 and DOA6, come from the following video sources:
