KINJAZ vs QUEST | "Final Fantasy Dance Battle"

- "Never microwave a PSP."
If I had the budget to make an entire dance movie... it would probably look a little something like this. In lieu of the new Final Fantasy releases, I wanted to create another video in the spirit of the Final Fantasy franchise. What started off as nothing but a simple "fantasy" (ha...ha...), transformed into an entire production. This is the first time I've tried to organize something with this many heavy hitters involved. It was definitely a learning process, but I am so grateful to have been able to collaborate with so many talented individuals on so many different levels. This would not have been possible without every single person who was involved with this project.

Very dope!!!! Being a gamer, DJ & a dancer it really made me think I was really inside the game!!! Thank you for making a amazing piece!!!
Really cool
You forgot to add the Blitzball music to the credits.
this is awesome (Y)
Is it wrong that you didn't have to tell me that at all? Haha
Basically what the finale of ABDC will be like.
Villn's "what the fuuuck" tho lol
And Jet Li on the side.
this is what the ABDC8 finale is gonna look like if you give these 2 crews full creative control; you'll have the most creative dance battle ever
Yessss! The sound effects were so on point haha
lol thanks
This could possibly be a preview of the last 2 crews going head to head in ABDC's Season 8 and both crews will be at full strength!
IMO I have noticed that the judges favor Super Cr3w and IAmMe more, I doubt Quest will be in the top 2 with Kinjaz but I'm really hoping so!!
Katrina Flores RIP IAmMe

All of my favorite people and things in one video. I canNot NOT love this video. Dance, Kinjaz, Quest Crew, Final Fantasy.
Amazing. Loved how well you guys made your choreo look so much like a special attack in a video game! Very impressive. Good job, Mike! Kudos, to Quest Crew and the rest of Kinjaz as well!
Loved it! Great mix of final fantasy and sick dancing! Really liked how it worked together.
WOW is the best way to describe this choreo, great work guys... EPIC!!!

This should have more views. I Love everything about it.
man you guys are awesomely creative
The ending was priceless..love Ryan/Aris and Hoks part in the video.
This was totally worth the wait.
Mike Song you totally nailed this...such an epic video!
They did win America's Best Dance Crew. They just weren't America's Most Popular Dance Crew. That's the only reason why they lost. Even though Kinjaz are known, Quest Crew has more twitter followers and D-Trix is popular too. They were everywhere after season 3. Kinjaz is fairly new from what I've seen. Mike Song deserved that trophy. Key part in the original ABDC (Kabba Modern.) I saw Kabba Modern as the rivals for the JabbaWockeez.
No bro. Quest crew took some risks and got rewarded for it. Plain and simple. We saw the same kinjaz from beginning to end. People say that Quest recycled moves and some choreo, but so did kinjaz, the only difference is Quest actually told a story through dance and gave us something different every episode. Kinjaz were very one dimensional, and never really gave the audience something deep until their very last performance which meant nothing because the voting had already been tallied.
+energy energy idk what show you were watching, but Kinjaz never repeated what they did. Quest Crew was predictable. Constantly jumping thru each others legs, D-Trix doing flares, and the crew doing flips. Kinjaz were unpredictable. Only reason why Quest won is because they have more followers who remained loyal to them even if they weren't the best dance crew on the show. I love Quest, don't get me wrong. Season 3 was the shit with Quest and Beat Freakz, but they weren't better than Kinjaz or Super Cr3w.
I'm sure it's nice to blame the publicity on their win, but the only people who where murdering that vote button where dedicated fans. No way in hell a random bfvsgf viewer was sitting their for hours voting for quest unless they where a legit fan. Sure, quest won because they where popular (Kinjaz is hella popular too.....) but why is quest popular? Because of their dancing and being an awesome crew
LynnH 1223 You literally just proved THEIR point U know... Lol. U started with saying it's nice to blame publicity on their win, like U were gunna say something like why it wasn't the publicity that gave them their win. But then U went on by saying how their fans gave them the win. Lol that was odd.
Don't forget. Mike Song was 21 years old when he was with Kaba Modern in season 1. A team of college students nearly beat the Jabbawockeez
This is AMAAAAAAZING ! I love it ♥
WOW!!! That was something else!
