I get the impression that the early Epic Battle Fantasy stuff was intended to be sort of an MMO, and Matt and Natalie were friends who played it, hence the use of emoticons and phrases like "we're lagging out". I guess Lazarus and Lancelot were their "rivals" so to speak. Later games feels more like a straight fantasy series, with in jokes and what not. I adore how the older Epic Battle Fantasy stuff had this rough charm to them. Like, you could tell a 14 year old made them with the mindset of making something as stupidly awesome as possible. And it worked! The newer Epic Battle Fantasy stuff is great for its own reasons (like being one of the best JRPGs in recent years), but part of me finds the mentality of "fuck it, I want my OCs to fight Goku and Yoko from Gurren Lagann" charming.
Well, matt was heavily inspired by MapleStory when doing this, he even used some from the in-game skills here (Such as rage, power strike and light arrow), let's also not forget matt's signature weapon, Heaven's gate, which is a weapon of that game too.
@Goddess Shadow Not entirely dead, it's still there, not as much as it's golden days but definitely not dead, those who moved to MS2 have not stayed there, at least not most of them, since the game turned out to have major flaws in it's progression the game pretty much "died" a few months after release. But both games are fairly ok when it comes to population, at least neither feel empty or isolated, but at least in the first maplestory that depends on what server you play at.
Love that everyone actually loses at the end XD "I'm gonna animate an EPIC BATTLE with my self insert OC. and he's gonna drown at the end lol". Entertaining as hell
I love that this artstyle just ages fine. Some pieces of work sort of become weird the more in the future they are seen. But not this. This is beautiful.
While there may not be combo _skills_ even in EBF5, you can still do some pretty sweet combos involving buffs, debuffs, status effects, and (a) powerful attack(s) in any of the games!
For those who wonder where did Natalie go after the "Giant Sword Attack"... Well she fall into the floor at 3:12 and then she gets impaled by a katana falling down. Rip Natalie :'( It has been almost 10 years, never forget it.
I like that Lancelot and Matt were like in a duel and no one gave a damn about Natalie until she died. And then Lazarus blasted the whole battlefield. Damn, animations were lit back then.
Hear me out: Red Mage 'Slightly altered to be more original', Cat, Lancelot, Lazarus, and Zombie Goku (with a name change) should make a come back of some kind in EBF5 v3. Or as potential DLC bosses.
know we know why the team always lost their weapon when arrive into the new world/game, they fight NPC , explode stuff and do stupid stuff and somehow eventually lost their weapons and stuffs for no reason
Ill translate. CC in RPGs means Crowd Control and those in these kind of games mean stuff like. Freeze, stun, paralyzed, Petrified, sleeping. Any of that sort.
Or it could also be a reference to maplestory speak back in the day. If you are at a map and someone annoying comes, you tell them to CC plz since you were there first, that means to 'change channels', so they can stay on the same map but just a different channel so you don't have to see their face
I just remember that this exist, and oh boy. I love this animation i remember makin a pivot animation inspired in this. I like the names of the attacks, the animation, everything
Hahahaha! You really should do more of these! Attack of the Black Mages 5 was one of my favorites. Gods only knows how many times I've seen the bloopers. ... Then again, if you did more of these, we would have to wait longer for EBF games. Hmm |:/ Your flashes were hilarious, almost as funny as EBF!
*sigh* This sure brings back memories from when I was in high school... Time flies! Am I right? =) 'Course, that was back then *BEFORE* you made your Epic Battle Fantasy games official! So, it wasn't much, but it was a good start anyway. =) 'Course, now you don't make animations like this anymore nowadays. ^^; But that's fine. You know what they say? Out with the old, in with the new! =D
I know this video is pretty old (5 years) and [at the end of the video] it gives the 3 songs used, but I can't find "Intro #3." Can someone help me out with this?
This was a joke, back then Matt made a joke and posted a picture of this battle, with messed up graphics and said, "This is what happens when you don't update your flash."
actually lancelot and lance are diffrent charcters, Lance first appreance was in Brawl royal as the second player and then in Epic battle fantasy 2 and so onward other then that he was never seen before
why did you steal it, Mat? It was only to be on Newgrounds, DeviantArt, and UGO player! You may be the creator, but you shouldn't steal nonetheless!(read more) Never the less, I am an absolute fan of EBF4, and I hope that you keep the Accelerator in EBF5. You know, the gun Lance uses that auto-charges his Hyper Beam?

@@gerardomerino8558 True. Plus the actual game, MS2, is literally dead. The team gave it the axe.
"FUCK IT, WE FIGHTING GOKU RESURRECTED BY A DUSKULL WIELDING A CURSED LEGENDARY SWORD."
"Change channel", used in Maple Story to tell people to go away.
Matt Roszak surly you can’t beat my oc
Piccolo its my favorite pokemon from naruto
_9_9_9_
Coood and..............jjjjj........jjjjj.......jjjjj.....hoooooooooo
B&B
All of his swords...... are stored under the sea.
i can only imagine the number of dead fish
"looks like we're not going hungry!"
-Matt in ebf5
Love that everyone actually loses at the end XD "I'm gonna animate an EPIC BATTLE with my self insert OC. and he's gonna drown at the end lol". Entertaining as hell

Matt always killing his teammates, accident or not.
Lazarus and Lancelot need to make a comeback in at least one of your future games Matt.
But Lance is Lancelot!
DeathTheKidX1 holy shit that's awesome and that means they can be in futcher games
Stage Fright well if Lazarus is still hacking, he could be that final boss that Matt would face... alone
Lancelot's _name_ comes back in EBF5...
Lancelot became a robot
Matt death in this animation actually isn´t confirmed. His health doesn´t fall to zero.
the second chance abiltiy
Tomas Contreras Lazarus. Uses giant laser beam. Destroys Matt.
I think it's his survivor skill (EBF2)
Tomas Contreras hes not ded
Morale?
Meh.
My only request for this is that at the end of the animation if you wait a full minute, Matt Sloooowly comes up smiling and holding a sword + coffee.
yes plzz
Well he didn't die so the coffee would be for Natalie
Even to this day, I love to come back and watch this again and again.
Why aren't combos in the actual game? I would love to see two people cooperate on an awesome power attack.
Cyrus Levy Perhaps that will happen in EBF5. We can only hope...
So something like Matt hits the ground, casts Cataclysm, the enemies get knocked up and lance shoots them in midair?
While there may not be combo _skills_ even in EBF5, you can still do some pretty sweet combos involving buffs, debuffs, status effects, and (a) powerful attack(s) in any of the games!
@@BladeofRagna ...
They'd be too op. ESPECIALLY in EBF5 with nolegs and haste.
Healmore looked way different back then.
I want Lazarus and Lancelot to be an extra boss in one of your games one of these days
For those who wonder where did Natalie go after the "Giant Sword Attack"...
Well she fall into the floor at 3:12 and then she gets impaled by a katana falling down. Rip Natalie :'(
It has been almost 10 years, never forget it.
now i understand that "pool's closed" sign XD
“Don’t worry Matt there’s plenty of fish in the water.”
Wait im Lance too, so... who's the real one?
I like that Lancelot and Matt were like in a duel and no one gave a damn about Natalie until she died.
And then Lazarus blasted the whole battlefield.
Damn, animations were lit back then.
Pool's closed, folks.
D:
Hear me out: Red Mage 'Slightly altered to be more original', Cat, Lancelot, Lazarus, and Zombie Goku (with a name change) should make a come back of some kind in EBF5 v3. Or as potential DLC bosses.
Lazarus is dead, so is G*ku, Lancelot is Lance, Cat is also dead. Lance is also like Red Mage, but with two guns.
...
FINALLY SOMEONE REMEBERED CAT
know we know why the team always lost their weapon when arrive into the new world/game, they fight NPC , explode stuff and do stupid stuff and somehow eventually lost their weapons and stuffs for no reason
EBF 3 actually has a reason, but the rest? I DON'T KNOW!
EBF 3 has a reason on the skills too, they lost their mind.
I hope EBF 5 gets a new reason...
i will laugh uncontrollably if they lost their crap cause they sold it on ebay :3
LoL that was clever XD
@1:27: I friggin love that crazed look on the Sword NPCs (Lazorus?) face! Just that over-the-top happy, but clearly snapped, face!
O.O
I see Nat was jiggling even back in the day
well... the only thing we can agree on is
ragnarok was clearly buffed
Yes
Imagine if Lazarus and Lancelot made a comeback in EBF5...
....that would be _quite_ an experience.
Lancelot already did
But not in the same way
CC pls
i never get that part
Gabriel Barsch yo.
Ill translate. CC in RPGs means Crowd Control and those in these kind of games mean stuff like. Freeze, stun, paralyzed, Petrified, sleeping. Any of that sort.
A Stein
ah thanks
Or it could also be a reference to maplestory speak back in the day. If you are at a map and someone annoying comes, you tell them to CC plz since you were there first, that means to 'change channels', so they can stay on the same map but just a different channel so you don't have to see their face
am i late
This is decent for a small project a bored child made. Now I want the sequel, One Last Final Battle!
??? Ever check out Epic Battle Fantasy?
@@DarkonFullPower Yes, One Last Final Battle should be in EBF5.
I would kill to have Lazarus as a boss fight in a later project you make, Matt.
I love all of yours made.
Amo todos os seus jogos!!! Thanks for Epic Battle Fantasy 5!!!
I just remember that this exist, and oh boy. I love this animation i remember makin a pivot animation inspired in this. I like the names of the attacks, the animation, everything
MATT WINS BY 1 HP!!!! WOOOOOOT!
and effectively drowns ;^;
@@deborah3163 haha pizza go brr

Your flashes were hilarious, almost as funny as EBF!
The music (Stratovarius - Stratofortress) was also in Xionic Madness too
Thanks mate
thankz u matt u were my inspire to make my flash animation! (my animation not quite good for now) ^__^
Honestly i belive lancelot is lance. Hear me out on this the name is similar and lancelot and lance both have red hair.
You heard me out? Neat.
matt is a legend and his thoughts are an enigma and his mind is a riddle and he will always matt is the legend of fantasy
damn ebay lazer
RUclips reccomended me this
Nice
you are a game dev hero in my book
*sigh* This sure brings back memories from when I was in high school... Time flies! Am I right? =) 'Course, that was back then *BEFORE* you made your Epic Battle Fantasy games official! So, it wasn't much, but it was a good start anyway. =)
'Course, now you don't make animations like this anymore nowadays. ^^; But that's fine. You know what they say? Out with the old, in with the new! =D
Funny how the name is Lance/lot but the actual prototype for Lance's design and fighting style is more likely to be Lazarus
2:06
THAT CAT HAS PAWS
B L A S P H E M Y
IT'S GOD CAT FIRST APEAR
THIS IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION
ITS LONGCAT O_o
(after the credits.) Awesome RPG violence is never the answer. Talk it out.
-Citizens for the Responsible Use of Magic.
Huh. Didn't know NCH existed way back here.
So this is the origin of Limit "Ragnarok"
I forgot to save... XDDDDD
1:24 I only noticed, but if you'll listen closely, Lancelot makes a Terraria damage sound when hit.
no you just cant come back from the dead
ha ha coffee go brr
best animation ever
right in the childhood
Lancelot knew what the heck he was doing
I'm sure its not only maple :D BUT I LOVE MAPLESTORY!
Almost surprised you haven't incorporated combo moves, could be a thought for EBF5 if you can make it work.
big sword big power
Which part of the internet am I in right now?
This is awesome u did great!! I wish this was a real game this would be fun
Wow, I used to love this video, especially for the music (Stratofortress, Legendary Tales)
I know this video is pretty old (5 years) and [at the end of the video] it gives the 3 songs used, but I can't find "Intro #3." Can someone help me out with this?
Vs Lancelot and Lazarus un EBF5!!!
Did the guy really take the time to fly to eBay to get that wepon and anyone 2018?
nope, 2019
yeah, it took me like 2 hours to get a package once.
It is feels good to be back after 7 years
did I miss something
Seeing some some stuff here still in ebf5 is nice
They need to appear in EBF5
HippoPig21 um lancelot is lance...maybe 'time machine'is in ebf5,it may be can....
DeathTheKidX1 don't you konw matt says 'have we met that guy before?'and he says at when you go to ebf2 final stage..
+Satan's Loaf Well, Matt also calls Lance's tank a 'car' so, Matt may not be too reliable.
What if Hax Lazarus is the EBF5 final boss?
@@maxwellplaysvideogames Only if he has turned into an Eldritch Abomination with humongous eyes...
There needs to be a sequel when you try to get disk 4
Matt had anti-one-shot equips
Ahahaa, still play it XD
i get told to CC all the time
Before Epic Battle Fantasy
at 3:28 it says matt has 1 hp lol
honestly all I can say is...
long cat
Well one more final battle would be a cool game to play
2:05 is longcat
Final cutter?! As in the cutter ability?
+Devil kirby is bad kirby was here :O
Scary
+DYNA BLADE SQUWAK KIRBY FTW
Funny, When I first saw this I thought at the end the CC meant for Cheat Codes plz so he wouldn't die, haha.
And What CC means?
god dang it that was my 30th try on this dumb boss
A super classic
good memories lie here
is this a game ? i really want to play it lol
Epic battle fantasy-----from 1 to 5
thank me later ;)
matt survived
I just saw random letters and while u was healing lol
Remember when Lance wielded a sword? Yeah it was good times.
This was a joke, back then Matt made a joke and posted a picture of this battle, with messed up graphics and said, "This is what happens when you don't update your flash."
4:20, yes
Dat Stratofortress tho.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i LOVE the giant cats coming out from the sea HAHAHAHAHA
The lenght of the video is 4:20, so 420 Blaze It!
And, for this I made a translation into Russian
>Pools Closed
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
huh?
Kuzu Ryusen ! Kenshin !
This is what happens when you don't update your flash.
this music is freakinh amwesome
You should make this as a game for us to play
lol old version of Lance
actually lancelot and lance are diffrent charcters, Lance first appreance was in Brawl royal as the second player and then in Epic battle fantasy 2 and so onward other then that he was never seen before
@@guyzamdvais1357 but now lancelot is now in ebf5 an evil robotic version of lance.
@@rorobbert Still not the same Lancelot
3:01 why does This cat doesnt appear anymore ;-;
because he has legs?
Where can I get one of those guns that he used?XD EBay?
Fuck that epic fight,what the fuck are the cats doing
Raging because they missed half the fight
holy sovl....
Giant cat army rise Lol
Wow, nicely done! ^^
why did you steal it, Mat? It was only to be on Newgrounds, DeviantArt, and UGO player! You may be the creator, but you shouldn't steal nonetheless!(read more)
Never the less, I am an absolute fan of EBF4, and I hope that you keep the Accelerator in EBF5. You know, the gun Lance uses that auto-charges his Hyper Beam?
Theres 4 games of it
1:17 it kinda reminds me of Ragnarok spell from swords & souls (this spell was added in update from 2016 year)
