i loved the cc, the first song wasn't my favourite but together with the great edition is a good video and a great performance

Argi: Argi making a highlight?? Is this underrated 2018 Argi again??? Okay right from the start I knew this was going to be something unique. Aesthetic is so cool and it adds like an extra dimension to the video if that makes sense? I don't need to talk about your sync or flow because I said many times until now that when it comes to technical side you are one of the best here. You used song change, kinda song change because you told me it was all a one song, during the biggest moment of the match and it just adds so much to entire video and presentation of the match. It's kinda odd but like it fits Shibata's brightest moment being his darkest with this, my only wish was that ending wasn't as abrupt but I guess that was a song issue. Overall this was one of a kind highlight that I will watch many more times and I honestly like it even more than Okada/Shibata highlight from the last competition, probably because this one is heavier lol. Fantastic work Argi!

Very unique stuff here Argi! That shadowy reflection thing you added across the video was something I had never seen before, and it felt like i was watching something in 4D, it was very thoughtful and I very much enjoyed it. At times, especially at the beginning, it felt a little bit too heavy on my eyes with those faded transitions but that could just be me, as the video developed it became more seamless. I would liked to have seen more shakes at the beginning of the video, but you put them mainly to the end, which had more impact as the match was nearing its finish so props. As always, I'm not a big fan of heavy music like this, but when the CC and tone/style of the match is so perfectly matched with the music, it feels right and in place and i could not imagine any other music instead, you simply made it work which is quite difficult to do. The song change towards the end was a bit odd, unless thats part of the same song i have no idea, i did like the CC change though it just appeared out of nowhere and caught me off guard. With most of these NJ edits, I have no clue what the story is to be told, so i just sit back and enjoy the stiff wrestling they put on, i will never get sick of no selling brutal chops to the chest, and i particularly liked when they just sat in front of each other. Overall, i really loved your presentation and thought behind this edit, it is one i will remember for a while and I'm glad you got your own showcase. Well done!

Why don't you give this guy a title? You come delivering videos at the height of mine in each event (taking your video with Soulfrost) and you don't have what you deserve, although in that we are the same since I have been here for almost the same time as you but they underestimate us, but we are not here to talk about me, this is solid and I am struck by the path you took in your last videos with a calmer and more experimental rhythm, when you want to do something with me just call me baby.

AHHHHHHHH!! Wow Argi, I can't believe how good this is. This is one of the best highlights I've seen in FMVC. And it's by far your most different type of video that you've made based on the editing. It's highly experimental compared to your other work, even though there's not much crazy shit going on throughout the video. But the aesthetic, choice of effects, and song choice were very interesting. I loved the song very much which is not surprising cause you have very excellent taste in music. I gotta admit tho, the beat switch at the end had me fooled lol. For some reason I thought they were 2 different songs from different artists that you included, but turns out its just that one song "Deadringer". I still give you credit for picking a song like that for a highlight, and even using that melancholic ending of it. I feel like others would cut that part out. And you chose the perfect match for this song. Or maybe you just did a wonderful job at linking the match and the song together with a great structure hehe.
First off, the reflection effect throughout most of the video was risky, but it fits so well with the chaotic song and as well as the hard hitting match. The effect is almost like a meaning for the way both Okada and Shibata must have felt during the match - since they were hitting each other hard AF, they probably saw doubles/reflections of each other. And imo it gives this video that different vibe and tone it needed to make it stand out more.
Everything about the first part of the video was well edited. Loved how you chose to let a lot of the clips play out, and not head towards the direction of a fast paced type of edit. I really loved those last 20 seconds of the first part where your syncing every strike with the heavy rhythm. It just made the hard strikes feel more intense than they already were. And good job on not overdoing it with the shakes. I suggest trying to tone the usage of the fades tho.
The little quick second part was beautiful. The first half of the video was so well timed for the perfect transition to the second part of the song - which was Shibata's headbutt. Loved how you kept that part simple, but changed the aesthetic to match the soft melody.
This is probably my favorite video of the event. Gooooood shit Argi!

Fantastic stuff man. This is honestly one of my favorite videos of the competition. This song is fucking amazing, gives me hardcore Code Orange vibes which I absolutely love. I think at this point I think it is unnecessary to mention your editing because as always it is fucking smooth. The shakes were super dope although by the final part, would have made them a bit stronger but I understand that you want to make things look clean. CC was perfect throughout and the ghosting was super sick and creative, really one of the best looking ghosts I have seen. The transition was flawless and the CC change worked quite well although I don't usually would have gone for something that colorful but it worked there for that unique factor. It really was perfect by how it occurred after Shibata's headbutt. I really liked how heavy the fades looked because of the colour corrections but I would have not used so many. Overall just a sick ass vídeo!

[CHARI]

You don't have a limit when it comes to editing Argi, you showed it with your Shibata MV and now with this gem, this reminded me a lot of the video with which I met your channel, that wonderful Kenny Omega vs Tetsuya Naito highlight that left me crazy, both videos have nothing similar except those little red colorations but what they look like is in that epicity that overflows and one is simply amazed and surrendered before such work, the idea of ​​the two songs enchanted me since I did not expect it at all and I hope to see things that work so well again, nothing negative to say this is a full-fledged ten, impressive performance in this event Argi.

What a banger of an highlights man! Really loved the reflection effect you used and everything worked together so well with the song. Excellent highlights to an amazing match!

[p1]

Argi x NJPW again? Ur mess lmfo. It seems you really took this competition as a way to experiment and try new and different things, and it was worth it I would say. The match itself is one of my favorite matches ever probably, so I don't need to say that it was a great choice. Song fit the vibe of the match, I loved how the tone changed during the breaking point of the match, and the effects throughout looked great, especially the reflection effect or whatever it was, that looked amazing. It all flew by really smooth, as do all of your other videos. Solid work.

Argi omg this was fantastic, the gosthing effect killed it, your CC was so good like always and IMO you are the best one in that sector, the pace and the sync was perfectly done. This video is the best highlights in this comp with Storm's one, man I am not a fan of too heavy songs but you made me like that with your incredible edit, shakes were so dope and the first part where you synced all the heavy strikes with the music was so amazing, it perfectly fits my tastes of editing, it's the thing that I always wants to see when I open an highlights video. You are one or my favorite editor and I am glad I can work with you in the same channel (Thanks for the boost). Keep up with these emotional works bro and edit forever!


This is really what I wanted to say... I swear you! But I can't lie anymore... Let's talk seriously. This video is a disasterpiece... Come on... How you thought I would like this edit...
