Where’s your second 3S tutorial, bitch?
I pretty much agree with polarity. Though I just disagree with how he said it. It was phased rather poorly (bitter are we?).
I believe for #1 he meant “played out” music, not “shitty music”. Which I would agree with. There’s a whole sea of music out there and people still end up using the same damn tracks. At least they could pick a different track from the same artist, but not it’s the same damn tracks in every video.
I think we can all agree that you can’t categorize a whole genre as bad/shitty. It’s really personal preference. Use heavy metal or techno trance or polka if that’s your thing, but just don’t use something that’s been in several other videos.
J-Pop is easy to target though because it’s in so many other videos. And it’s pop, meaning popular, meaning it’s probably been used before. A lot of people are really sick of hearing it
I dunno about #2. There’s ways to have a really long intro while still keeping the audience entertained. But if it’s like a blank screen with a few lines of text for minutes on end, then that’s just obviously stupid. If you’re going to have a really long intro then please try to have something interesting to watch while the intro is running, such as glitches or stupid/silly combos that “didn’t make the cut”, etc so that we aren’t just staring at stupid shit waiting for the content to arrive.
I also think for #5 he meant obnoxious editing, not “flashy” editing. Try to be original, try not to be repetitive, try not to put too many redundant transitions between every fucking clip in the video. Editing can really make a video nice, but shitty editing can make a video annoying and ugly. Using generic filters that come with your video editing program over and over and over is really poor and kills the feel of the video.
Great thread. Great points. I fucking hate anime. :mad:
I like how the actual combos are in a tiny box that doesn’t even take up half the screen.
People need to watch Tosaka vids to see how it’s supposed to be done before making a combo vid.
One second intro, then right into the combos, the music is from other games, and most would agree cool, and a one sec outro pic.
And j-pop needs to dissappear fast. It’s music marketed to teenage girls for god’s sake.
Ironically this is one of the few videos that properly explores tech trapping.
They explored guaranteed combos, knockdown into okizeme (meaty mixups), and tech traps. Like in the 9th combo (at 1:40 against Axl), Dizzy does and IAD j.HS, lands and does super, then airthrows. If the opponent doesn’t tech they eat the super and the j.HS, if the opponent techs or bursts they eat the airthrow which wallslams for another combo (c.K, f.S, Spike).
Yeah the editing was excessive but the content was also fairly solid.
I’ve seen combo videos that explored knockdown->okizeme fairly extensively, and vids that attempted to explore tech trapping inaccurately (not guaranteed traps), but this is one of the few videos I’ve seen that contained legit guaranteed tech traps, oki mixups, and guaranteed b&b combos.
don’t be dissin Tool, bitch
im just playin up the rage for lols :looney:
I admit to putting in 1 anime clip in one of my first videos 4 years ago -sobs-
And to doing nightwish in a couple videos too. Maybe I can ask for the community to give me songs to put in there lol.
gues I’m doing better lol

i think this is a great example of a simple, elegant combo video.
its by japanese monster player, u-na.

I think it’s worth pointing out that there was a time when that cheesy speed metal stuff wasn’t overused and, in my opinion, worked quite well in vids. But that was quite a long time ago, lol.
Having said that, if it’s edited in some awesome way that requires certain music then it’s your call to put it in. Just mashing clips together and making an arbitary choice of ‘cool’ music however, is a bit crap.
KYSG consistently chooses music that I either don’t hate or actually really like. Plus his vids are awesome anyway. Also, meikyosisui can get away with anything because they’re OG’s.
I agree with you Xenozip, but I’d be even harsher by saying that if one doesn’t feel sure about his editing and doesn’t want to rehash the same transition again and again, then why not try editing the vid more or less without all those transitions/effects from software he probably even doesn’t master himself (and I’m not even talking about how he got the software).
Seriously, do these editors REALLY believe using professionnal-grade effects software will actually make a video better even if they don’t know how to edit it properly without them? Cause if that’s the case, let me tell you I just had my stairs revised to an even more dangerous version with even less light and I can put all of them out of their misery.
Now let me take an extreme example to get this straight about what is and will always be unbearable :
- if the music is overplayed or even the sound shitty that’s too bad but you can eventually turn off the sound
- if the into/outro are waaaay too long you can skip them
then it’s sad but your video may not yet fail completely
BUT
- if you can’t read the transcripts for a tutorial
and/or - if the quality is so poor you can’t even tell a punch from a kick
and/or - if the transitions eat the beginning and the end of each combo
and/or - if the effects actually prevent from understanding anything to the combo (happy lensing/logo/blur fuckers, you know I hate you… all of you)
and/or - if your video hurt eyes (like by blinking or having a frame rate of 15fps)
then your video is a total failure and is also a proof that you are a total failure as far as editing go
I acually really like this combo vid despite I dislike the music in it
yeah honestly i dont think the editing in that video is too bad, it’s goofy but pretty fun, and the first song actually works really well even though i fucking hate it normally. the only problem i have with it is that transition to the second song… it totally disrupts the mood set by the first one. maybe i’m just nitpicky, but i would’ve split the content into 2 videos and retained a more definite ‘mood’ in each one.
hey fuck you! 
I can’t believe i missed that extra D.
hey fuck you!
Really old kof98 video with very poor editing:
[media=youtube]rHnACI5pDQc[/media]
Cyberfanatix’s kof98 video, kof98 Revolutions, with extreme editing.
[media=youtube]hqt3luZyK4Y[/media]
The editing and sound for the first video is so incredibly bad, although I found it quite funny at times. In the second video, I’m really not sure why they purposely distort the colors at one point in the video, and some points are also seizure inducing…but good music!
i dont care what song it uses as long as it really fits what you see on the screen

That’s one of my favourite videos ever. Seriously, it’s in my youtube list already.

I think having in-game sound in a combo video is pretty important, even if you can’t disable the in-game music, if it’s not too loud, but just normal, it’s fine I think. But yeah, I think having in-game sound helps alot with combo video’s because you can actually hear every single hit and each action the character is making.
I don’t know about some people, but seeing something performed isn’t good enough, I gotta be able to hear it as well, or else I won’t have any idea what they are trying to pull.
Another thing I’d like to see more often in combo vids is a list of commands or even a quick explanation of how the combo work, maybe done with a slow-mo replay or something.
hmm, absence of sound has never really bothered me, but i can see how it’d matter to some people. in-game music clashing with the music really annoys me though
