[N.g.N]

Stioplizp: very good as always, you always choose the best effects and transitions, I like to see an MV of a great fighter like Minoru Suzuki, although you are going to take a break from NJPW, hopefully and we can see more of your NJPW MVs
The Korn trilogy is complete.

Mr. Arguden: A very good video, the song is even relaxing, the editing is very clean, Shibata is very good and Arguden needs to do a Kota Ibushi MV.

Two very good videos, it is really difficult to choose a winner, but for very little, my vote is for stylopz

[Storm]

Stylopz: So Korn is for you what Bad Omens are for me, got it. Honestly I don't know what to say here that I haven't said already in my long feedbacks previously lol. I am pretty sure that everyone here knows that you are my favorite editor currently and have been for a quite some time. Every video that you upload I watch so many times that I somewhat started listening to Korn too. Just the presence of Suzuki can be felt in this video as you captured the vibe of him perfectly. From mysterious entrances to his dead cold stares and to him just murdering people. His voice going to demonic was done so well, I wonder who gave you that idea! At this point I really don't know if I even need to mention your lyrical syncs as they are out of this world with your clip choices. Everything is done with so much attention to detail and damn that chorus look with a focus on his facial expressions is so creative and scary, I LOVE IT! From these details I so appreciate that you included sound clips of him hitting his opponents with the beat, you can just feel every single one of them I swear. I used to have like my favorite MV from your list of MVs but at this point it's just impossible, they are all way too fantastic and I can't choose anymore. As always exceptional work, my favorite video of the competition and VOTYC.

Argi: I'm sorry that I am doing it like this, but I have already given you feedback in MVZ so you know exactly what I think about this video. I really see no reason to repeat myself here as my opinion hasn't changed since then. On my probably 7th rewatch I think, it's still one fucking amazing MV and by far one of my favorite Shibata MVs. Thank you for competing in 2 matches this comp, your both videos were incredible!

[omzy]

Stylopz: Man ill be honest, i love this video so much, it may be one of my favourite wrestling MV's I've seen. The general direction of this video wasn't anything crazy, but its the attention to detail that elevates it to another level. The synchs was beautiful, it matched the song very well which i also loved, it was edgy but not too heavy on the ears, not to mention the lyrical synchs you made which were so seamless and didn't seem forced, everything flowed one after another. No clue who this guy is and why he licks his hands a lot, but his demeanour and vibe was captured brilliantly, the CC choice was a good dark tone, and my favourite bit was the warping of the video in the middle of the video. I also really liked that extra dimension shadowy thing you did here and there, it makes him seem more psychotic. This was quite a simple video, good synching and thoughtfulness behind it, perhaps my only gripe is have the audio play even when the scenes change, and have them reverb out as the chop echoes and eventually fades, that would've been pretty neat. Overall, very nice video my friend, this brought me great satisfaction.

Argi: Similarly to Stylopz, this had a simple idea but great execution, For starters, the song choice was much more relaxing and slow paced which was nice to see, I'm a bit unsure of whether a quick paced song would have suited the clips you chose but after watching the whole thing, either could work. I would have liked to see more fusion of slow and quick clips, i think in this circumstance it would have done wonders and elevate this to the next level, but the general synch was very solid. Those glitches towards the end were very nice, but they were slightly inconsistent, using them as transitions was brilliant though. With this music, i would have liked to see more warping and playing around with visuals, this song opens the possibility for so much more and whilst what you did was well executed, you could've taken more risks and add that extra innovation, some parts could've been made to seem dreamy in a way with that relaxing melody. Generally, i am very happy with both of your edits in this comp and i can see the work you're putting in, i cannot wait to see what you do next!

[[pain]]

stylopz: I just found out that you will take a break from NJPW, luckily you left us several videos like this to entertain us and cry thinking that now you will edit WWE because you became a Mcmahon guy, well this could be the best Suzuki video that we will see in a long time surely and the lyric and video syncs along with the demonic voice were incredible and I can honestly say that I was a bit scared.

Arguden: Who is copied from whom? I'll be honest with you the combination of Shibata and Hip-Hop I love it, I could even watch it all day without getting tired but for someone like you I didn't think the CC was the right one, it just didn't fit with the video but I let it pass because this You are literally on the wave and you have to flow with the waves. BROOOOO!!!

[peterkowalski]

Stylopz: It's hilarious how different our CC are and yet most of the time yours are my favorite ones from every Comp, I'm pretty sure this concept would not work with any wrestler not named Minoru Suzuki, you took the parts that make him one of the bests and enhaced it to a different level.
Loved the double exposition efffect and overall pacing, song choice was a good fit. Cool stuff! mate.

Argi: I hope that you chose the song because you like The Wire. It was a very pleasant surprise listening to that song while I saw a good amount of Shibata. The Mv it's just like Shiabata. It's simple and straight to the point, Wasn't the biggest fan of the CC don't think it matched the whole vibe but that's totally subjective. But I cannot express enough how good this thing is.

Great Stuff from both, Prolly the closest match of the Comp.

[CHARI]

I'm in trouble with this match

Stylopz: What a sadistic and demonic video, I never expected to see a face like this from you, although I had to imagine it when I saw your video of Kota Ibushi, this really was a trip to the mind and character of Minoru Suzuki showing how he massacres the other wrestlers And he has fun doing it, showing it with those dark facial expressions that he does. Surely you are the most complete editor today, since you have the skills and ideas well focused when making an edit I hope and with this hiatus from NJPW you can continue to venture and improve to bring new content and delight all viewers, great job my friend.

Argi: How many videos of Shibata in this event and curiously you brought us two of the good ones, although this is short it becomes very bearable and one gets to enjoy perfectly without being overwhelmed, you are an expert in that since sometimes you bring video of five or six minutes or just two minutes in length and at no time does one feel overwhelmed or like something is missing. I loved this piece and the way you followed the rhythm of the song because if I had been the one who had to follow that I would die, as you told me you are one of the OG and it is always fun to see what video you will come out with, thanks for participate and bring this great video Argi.

Difficult decision in this match

[bluevinsmoke]

Stylopz: OMG That was so sick! You took Suzuki who’s already terrifying as fuck and made him look like the devil himself. I loved every single thing about it. It’s a small detail but I loved how you made his laugh even more evil XD

Argi: really interesting combination between Shibata and rap, it’s not common because mostly metal or rock is what used for edits of him. This video is really simple yet very clean and in high level. Loved it man!

Great Stuff from both, Prolly the closest match of the Comp.

how the fuck did you remember this song lmao, yes it is from the wire. been hooked since I first heard it

[p1]

Stylopz: Ah man, a while ago I was thinking about how there aren't much MVs about Suzuki, and it's like you heard me and delivered an absolute banger. Surely the best Suzuki MV there is. You perfectly captured all of the traits of his character and did so with a song that perfectly fits the direction you went with in this video. What I also liked was the structure, you had different parts of the video feature different parts of his character, like him killing people in one section, and his maniacal facial expressions in the other. It was also detail-oriented and I loved things like him clapping to the beat of the song or how you synced his forearm strikes with the beat. Will be on replay for a while for sure, this bangs.

Argi: Argi and NJPW? What happened to you bro, where is the real rafflin? This video isn't so Argi, but that's the point. I always like when people try different things after a while, and especially if it comes off as good as this one did. First thing I noticed is one of the first clips being Shibata going into the ring with Suzuki, and while I'm sure it wasn't intentional, after watching Stylopz's video, it felt like the antithesis to his Suzuki is coming. Shibata shoot kicking, slapping and forearming people to this beat is something I could watch all day. Another thing I liked is the length, it wasn't too short or too long, it was just as short/long as it needed to be. No tomfoolery, just straight to the point (kinda like the guy you chose to edit). If I have to nitpick, I would say that the CC could've been better maybe, but I liked this one enough for it to not bother me. Overall an awesome piece of business, looking forward to watching this like 10 more times.

Can anybody miss on this card?

[dead sarcastic]

Stylopz: Once again, you making a masterpiece and probably the best video from the event. At this point you've mastered everything on what makes a great video. The way you structure everything, knowing the right places to put voice overs, and having great clip placement, everything about this proves THAT YOU'RE ON ANOTHER LEVEL! Lol. Seriously, ever since your Ibushi vid, these works that you've been putting out are scary good, like really scary. It's hard to believe how much you've improved from your Ospreay remastered video from last spring to now.
First watch, I wasnt feeling too good about the warp zoom in transitions at the start, but as the video kept going and as I kept rewatching this I found every effect including the one I mentioned to be a great asset to this video. Even though I'm sure without these warp effects/transitions the video would still be highly entertaining, the effects added a whole new tone to the video. Kind of giving it a weirdly scary aesthetic that matches the character of Suzuki. At the same the execution of these transitions were smooth, I think everytime I see them done in other videos they're always a bit glitchy and not done too well.
And the ghosting/reflection was beautiful. That's twice that we have an effect like that in this event which is rare. Usually one doesn't that effect at all. But just like Argi, the effect fit very well in your video and if it was perfect for your character subject.
The voice overs were too damn good. Cant stress this enough, but the hard hitting sound of his strikes and the laughing reverb bit was fantastic!! This is why you're one of the best editors today, you have a creative mind when it comes to adding little details that make the video extra special.
This video proves why you should get another shot for that FMVC title. Would love to see you be apart of the title match next event depending if you want to do another MV next event.

Argi: Yeah, this is still one of my favorite edits of the year. This slow melodic song juxtaposed with Shibatas hard hitting strikes blends so well together. Like I mentioned before, the aesthetic of this is everything. From the beautiful warm CC to the blurry vignette, it feels very dreamy. I like how the only effect you used throughout the video was the glitch effect. I think the idea of there not being other effects made the glitch effect stand out more. Even though I would have like to have seen it look a lot nicer or more different looking since it kinda looks like you used a default/preset of the effect. I still really liked the way it looked tho. Since the whole has a chill vibe to it, maybe creating a more unusual looking glitch effect would have ruined the aesthetic.
Excellent choice of clips. Is it me, or does the camera love Shibata? Cause everytime I see a Shibata video there always seems to be beautiful shots of Shibata that I've never seen before. Anyways, yeah your choice of clips and camera movement shots were perfect and some of them fit the dreamy aesthetic, especially the clips at the start.
LOVE this video so much. Thank you Argi for bringing 2 outstanding videos to this event!

MOTYC. I knew this was gonna be a phenomenal match when the card was announced and boy was I right. You two are some of the best editors today. Thanks for this match guys.

[leomercyeditorking]

Stylopz: I am really a fan of the ghosting effect that you and Argi used in your videos, I liked the CC and all the voiceovers you used, maybe only the second one (kick) it's a bit worse than the others because of the voice of the commentators. I loved the laughing part it fits so well and the screaming parts...So freaking well synced. The clapping synced with the music it's another fantastic detail. The effects at the end and the final move sequence were so incredibly perfect. Outstanding video Stylopz

Arguden: A very chilling video, I really liked how you synced the lyrics and the CC you used, IMO you could add more effects and try more but the only effect that you used (glitch) was so goood. Good job Argi!

Fantastic video guys a very tough match
