Since mere words fail to properly describe it, watch it [http://www.gametrailers.com/game/monty-oum/4712 here.]

 

While waiting for new episodes to be released, you can check out the [[Red vs. Blue|other awesome stuff]] Monty's working on.

 

* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Part V.

* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Hitomi delivers one at the end of Part V. Somehow without even making physical contact (though that was likely an animation oversight).

** Kairi goes for Rachel, but when Rachel eludes her, she ends up by herself. The WIP footage from part VIII shows her {{spoiler|transforming into Naminé to go up against Hayabusa and Momiji, with an assist from Vincent Valentine.}}

** Rinoa vs. Rachel. We don't know much about what will happen to them, except for a shot of Rachel in chains.

* [[Chain Pain]]: The ninjas in Part V attempt to subdue Tifa with chains.

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Hitomi again. Everyone else has blatant superpowers, either through Materia or ninjutsu, whereas Hitomi is just very strong, very fast, and really, REALLY good at fighting. Good enough to outfight {{spoiler|Tifa}}, who was loaded up with {{spoiler|Materia}} and pretty clearly portrayed as the second most powerful combatant in Part II after {{spoiler|Rinoa}}, using nothing but Wing Chun.

** Kairi - keyblades ("Oblivion" & "Oаthkeeper");

** Tifa - bottles / steel pipes / katanas;

* [[Dynamic Entry]]:

** [[Final Fantasy VII|Including one with a motorcycle and a BFS.]]

** {{spoiler|Vincent Valentine}}'s entrance, as shown in a preview clip for Part VIII.

* [[Everything Breaks]]: Obvious trope is obvious.

** Besides the obvious, Monty refers to ''DF'' and ''[[Haloid]]'' as "fanservice videos" because he initially only wanted to do movies with original characters.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFrlFeK8guY This] is just a software test. [[Blatant Lies|Honestly.]] More specifically, he was testing his new [[Motion Capture]] system and seeing as he used to be a semi-professional dancer [[It Makes Sense in Context|it makes perfect sense.]]

** Cloud's entrance is foreshadowed in the title sequence of Part IV with a split second silhouette of him on his bike.

** In Part V, right after Tifa {{spoiler|is defeated}}, pause and look very carefully at her lower back, under her shirt. {{spoiler|''Glowing white materia''}}.

* [[Gravity Screw]]: A lengthy fight takes place while the girls are ''sliding down the wall of a huge ass tower''.

* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: ''Constantly''. Also combined with [[Fastball Special]] in Part I when Rikku throws Kasumi at Yuna to save her.

** Rinoa's using her Angel Wings Limit break making for huge spell action, and then uses her Wishing Star Limit Break on the entire other side inside of a tornado, which she created also.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]:

** Everyone in the music videos gets alternative outfits, mostly [[Hotter and Sexier]] ones.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Kairi. Oh so very, very much.

* [[No Flow in CGI]]: Surprisingly [[Averted]], especially considering it's an amateur production.

** Tifa's outfit in V, in particular, ripples fairly realistically in the wind and as she moves.

* [[Off with His Head]]: Tifa decapitates one of her opponents in Part V.

* [[One-Man Army]]: Tifa in Part V, and this is ''while bleeding from multiple wounds and suffering more as she goes''.

** The newest Dead Or Alive game seems to be putting their strengths close to the power shown in [[Ninja Gaiden]] where they are full fledged combat wizards. So either Monty is gonna have to up the ante or this trope is gonna be averted.

* [[Power Gives You Wings]]:

** Naminé has ''keyblade wings'' with very versatile applications as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KQ_eYyhok this preview for DFVIII.] (spoilers for newly introduced characters)

* [[Punched Across the Room]]: And kicked, and thrown, and [[Blown Across the Room|blasted]]. Tifa and Hitomi even perform double knockdowns on each other this way. The laws of physics must be out to lunch. Or they're [[Rule of Cool|too busy watching]].

* [[Reverse Grip]]: Kairi holds Oblivion like this.

* [[Roboteching]]: Employed by Yuna's [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells|bullets]].

* [[Rule of Cool]]

* [[Second-Hour Superpower]]: Hitomi being able to punch the {{spoiler|materia}} out of Tifa at the end of their fight, but not at the beginning. Why can she USE said {{spoiler|materia}} immediately, even though Tifa was the only one with any? [[New Powers as the Plot Demands|Anyone's guess.]]

** In part II, Hitomi almost perfectly emulates [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM Daigo's epic tournament victory] from [[Street Fighter|Third Strike]] against a hasted Tifa. Even the "parrying" sound effect is used (but instead of comboing into the win after parrying Tifa's attacks, Hitomi gets flipkicked in the face, and eats a [[Limit Break|Final Heaven]] shortly afterwards).

** In Part III, right after the rather lengthy opening credits "When Angels Cry" comes up on the screen as the soundtrack from ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' starts.

** Ayane's ninjutsu, particularly when she does a series of hand signs before smashing the tower, borrows the "jutsu use" sound effect from ''[[Naruto]]''.

* [[Soft Glass]]: Tifa just smashes through a window at full speed and keeps on going. Mind you, this is Tifa we're talking about.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Or should we say "Launching your enemy's sword with a pipe always works"?

* [[To Be Continued]]: After the end of every episode so far, usually in those exact words.

** Kairi goes from a [[Designated Victim]] to [[Action Girl]] [[Magic Warrior]] in 4 seconds after activating [[Super Mode|Valor Form]].

** Rinoa was already fairly powerful in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', being a Sorceress and all, but she was still just a powerful spellcaster. In Part II, though she goes full-on ''Valkyrie'', complete with sword, shield, and wings.
