[N.g.N]

Storm: Very good cc, you still have your touch after almost a year of not editing highlights, I loved the chosen song, I remember a few months ago watching "Will Ospreay vs Jay Lethal Highlights" by my friend Jakey and while that song was playing I was thinking "What a good song man" and after a while, you use the same song in your match against Sarcastic.
Very good video.

Sarcastic: I don't see the match "MV vs Highlighrs" very fair but this video is very clean, I liked the second one 00:52
A good recap of their rivalry and a good video.

Both good videos but in this match I lean towards Storm.

[Storm]

Sarcastic: I honestly mostly just wanted to face you so I could give you a personal feedback, it's not the same until we face each other so I can properly feedback you. First of all I would like to thank you for accepting my request, it's something that was on the top of my wish list. This video was a perfect video to face in my return to highlights, because firstly I can have an excuse when I lose to the GOAT lol and secondly it's like a perfect contrast. At this phase I make very polished highlights so facing something in that old school style that actually got me into editing and what I used to watch as an inspiration just makes this so much more special! It really brings back memories to when I used to watch highlights like these all the time back in the day when youtube was filled with highlights and when I was just wishing to do this while thinking I would never be able to. If I hadn't found your channel a few years ago I am 99% certain I wouldn't be an editor today and now we are in the same match while being tag team champs together which is still mindblowing to me. Your every edit is so incredibly creative and has things that I have never seen before, your ideas are so out of the box that are kind of abstract to me lol, and you always find a new way to inspire me or to improve my editing in some sort of a way. Sorry if I wasted your time with this long intro but I just had to do it, it's not every day that I get to face my favorite editor ever and to feedback his work. Just from the beginning this already has your magic, from super cute intro to text used. Where your edit isn't true to the oldschool editing is that your editing flow is smooth as it can be and syncing couldn't be better, edits back then weren't that good lol. What I absolutely love here and I always try to teach new people that clips should all feel dynamic and should be in motion, here it's perfect. 1:04 has to be my favorite moment, creativity at its best! It's in such a typical sarcatic fashion video just slowly builds before it becomes insane with so many amazing effects! This was honestly just perfect and I will rewatch this so many times, for fucking sure one my favorite videos by you! And now in the end of this feedback I would just want say thank you. Thank you for inspiring me to start editing and always pushing me to join MVZ for years when I didn't really believe in myself lol. And mostly thank you for always being there to give me feedback and being one of the kindest people I have ever had a pleasure to talk to. I am so happy that we got to have a match and it's always going to be one of my favorites editing matches I got to compete in!

What a betrayal between comrades, one makes a simple highlight and the other mounts a complete MV! I'll just say that

Storm: If P1 wins we riot

Sarcastic: If P1 wins we riot

Outside from the fact that obviously Sarcastic edit it several matches, this felt like a highlight/recap.

Sarcastic:This was extremely fun, totally forgot about that Bailey vs Roderick highlight but you definitely brought back in your own way. This obviously ain't your fault but I Hated the camera angles from the AEW match can't believe how both major US promotions have terrible camera work, anyway. CRAZY how far you've come with highlights in particular, because I truly think no ones loves highlights more than you haha, so it's always fun to see Something from you, there's always something new about them and something to look forward to.
Storm: Great stuff, didn't know you do highlights, maybe it's because I'm used to see MV's from you but I couldn't take away the thought that i was seeing something bigger than a highlight. And I loved that feeling. You have probably next to P1 and Sarcastic the most distinctive style when editing something and it's fun to see how you add something new to the mix and see it blend with your usual stuff.
Fantastic stuff from both of you.

[omzy]

Stormzy: What an edit. I will never get over how clean your videos are, they seem so professional and crisp especially the slowed down moments with black and white. The song choice was great, the video was perfect for hard hitting guitar moments and also the slowed down pace, the match seemed to have a good mix of emotion and brute physicality so i quite like this song for its softer vocals and heavier instrumentals, certainly a good choice. Your shakes are flawless, as are the flickers and CC changes, its something you've just crafted yourself over all these years and i seek to master myself. That glitch as well was sick. I wasn't a big fan of that slidey red effect, it was a bit too heavy, that might've been your intention, it would look cooler if you sped it up some more to match the flow but definitely blur it so my eyes don't leave me. As well as this, my only other gripe is some clips were too long, I'm not sure if it was planned or you had to prolong a part so the next clip could hit a specific beat but i would love to see some extra cuts. That being said i was still very captivated, and you're one of the few editors who doesn't need to hit every single beat and still be interesting, this is so far my favourite edit of this comp alongside the MV from Stylopz, definitely a job well done.

Sarcastic: These young bucks... One thing i really dislike is most of their matches seem so stupidly unrealistic, luckily this was only the case in that first match, i just can't get invested in wrestling when the wrestlers make it clear that this isn't real lmao. With that being said, I still think you made this entertaining for me. The synchronisation of clips is impeccable, every beat was well matched and that pleases me greatly. Those light flickers and effects you added for some of their corkscrew flips was really cool i would've loved to see some more, adoption of some shakes really would've worked wonders too. I was very baffled at that blue arena that was seen for some parts but didn't get its full match, perhaps they were callbacks I wouldn't know, that being said some of those match changes were slightly confusing at times but for the main part you did play it safe so props. Overall, this was very quick paced action and I'm glad i wasn't bored for a single instant, you made tag team wrestling shine and i believe some incorporation of shakes, voiceovers and other things, this edit would reach that higher level.

Storm: Man you finally used Wishful Sinking, it was definitely worth the wait. This video is everything you'd expect from a Storm video, it has nice CCs, dope transitions and most importantly it feels so damn cinematic. You're one of the best at capturing the emotion of the match and you definitely didn't fail once again. This is an amazing comeback video and I hope you upload more highlights from now on because you never fail to deliver man. Absolute banger.

Sarcastic: First of all I love the song, idk if it's called swancore or post-hardcore but we definitely don't hear many songs like that in edits so it feels fresh. Beautiful and basic intro, I also loved how you used texts in every match. The idea itself is pretty cool too. Your editing was incredibly good as always, this video has pretty much about everything I love about your editing. Incredible stuff.

[stylopz]

Storm: Another person who gave me a massive disappointment LMFAO I thought only editing in Premiere was the way to be a GOAT but editing in Resolve?! Whats next? Editing in Filmora?! SMH... But even though, this highlight is probably my favorite of the year so I can cope with that. You are probably the most unique editor when it comes to use of effects and even how you showcase the match. You make it look like a goddamn movie with your cinematic approach and even though you don't hit many beats, you make it up with your lyrical syncing so it is like you never miss the pace and flow which is the most important part in a video. I really liked the purple CC you used it was pretty nice but that almost fully unsaturared CC with flares was a thing of beauty. My favorite editing technique you applied was those RGB transitions you used few times those looked so pretty and it added that unique factor. The way you edited breakdown part was so fucking amazing, you really made it feel like shit was about to go down, especially in the Spanish fly part, that was perfectly done. I thought the flickers, shakes, RGBs and glitching just added that much more to what was already an incredible recap and I find it so incredible that even with the effects you use, you managed to keep your video so clean and tight. I am sorry if this is not the best feedback I can give but I think you already know how I feel about the video, I have rewatched it so many times it is ridiculous. Magnificent work!

Sarcastic: This is another personal favorite of mine from this competition and I believe I would without hesitating, vote for this video if it was against any other video. This was just amazing. The flow in your videos is probably the best on the forum seriously. People should watch your videos and probably will be enough of what a perfect flow is. You, just like Storm have probably the best cutting as it is just the perfect cut of what you are supposed to show and shouldnt be no more or no less. I never heard this band before but it's dope, something I honestly never expected Sarcastic to use LOL. I absolutely loved how you went back and forth with each section editing two different matches at the same time without ever making it feel jarring, fantastic work on that! There are crazy transition and fast cutting sections which I will not need to mention. The text was really unique and I guess that "Mi Bonito" Animation you did was because of the masks the Bucks were using in the last match I don't know if it's exactly that but man that looked so dope! My favorite part was probably was how you structured the whole thing to get a good final recap of their last match of the feud. Man, its sad after watching this and good this is, we still wont have that match but hopefully one day we will. Phenomenal work man!

You both guys delivered my favorite match of the event with both just beyond outstanding videos, it is so unfair to have to choose one but yeah, I voted in the polls. Wouldnt mind you two have another match of the year contender in the future, maybe MVs who knows.

[bluevinsmoke]

Storm: Storm is editting DDT?? Holy shit! that's sooo good man, I really have nothing bad to say. your editting is so clean and flawless. just perfect. I really can't wait for you to edit more edits of Puro promotions.

Sarcastic: Oh man I know your channel for ages and you were always one of my favorites. This video was really uniqe, you won't see stuff like this today. I'm not the biggest fan of YB but you really made me enjoy it a lot! such an amzing video!

[CHARI]

Without a doubt the match I least wanted to vote for, in a good way :3

Storm: Seeing you edit DDT material is like seeing the owner of coca cola drinking persi, although surely you were already familiar with the company so it is not that strange but in reality it is, PK and you used the same transitions? They looked really great in both videos and curiously they both faced people whose nicknames are adjectives hahaha, I loved your video because it is increasing, it starts quiet and with smooth transitions to change the rhythm in the middle and start with the transitions that I also use PK and Well, well from the middle to the end we go crazy and everything is incredibly epic. If I am not wrong, you said that the editing in premiere and that for me has double merit since I could not do that, when I started editing I used camstasia studio and thanks to Sarcastic I changed to Vegas and I am not going to leave there because I am not going to use it yet. But you went from Vegas to a program that you surely understood 90% to change to Premiere and I am sure it is not the same as the other one, it is very admirable and everything looks literally great and as if you had not had problems, admirable work Storm.

Sarcastic: Speaking of going crazy synchronizing everything, my teacher arrived and the reason that I had fun all these years editing, I was expecting a highlight but you decided to release all the meat to the grill and bring us an MV, the song you used was perfect because like the Bucks and Lucha Bros took us from the United States to Mexico you and the song took us from one point to another, passing through tranquility, movement, frenetism and ending with tranquility. Only you could achieve that combination and you continue with the era of overlays since I liked that little and smooth flash overlay that you used almost at the end, of my favorite videos of this Sandy event.

I have no idea how to rule in this vote since their videos are completely different in terms of format but I had a great time

[p1]

Ah yes, this match.

Storm: First of all, Storm editing outlaw mudshow promotions? I lost my faith in life. Anyway, it was nice to see you editing a video including Tetsuya that isn't a hopeless ideolog. But yeah, this video is so Storm, isn't it? As Argi said, everything we've come to expect from your videos, great CC choice, great pacing, building up to big moments in the match and paying off afterwards, and even though I haven't seen the match (yet, don't kill me) I could tell that this video probably followed the tone of the match. Overall an amazing piece of work that will be on replay in the next couple of days for sure.

sarcastic: As I said last time, every time you upload a highlight I realize what was missing from my life. Much like Storm, this video describes your style perfectly and makes for a really interesting clash of styles in this match. While Storm does lyrical syncs, you sync on the beats. While Storm uses a more serious song, you choose more of a lighthearted note. Anyway, this video is amazing, it flows by really well, is really clean and showcases two teams and their matches perfectly. Never change sir.

My friend I made all my MVs after Another Life in Premiere, so since june of last year I have been editing in Premiere and this video has been my first solo edit in Resolve lol. I had no experience with using both before I started making these videos so it was fun. I guess I just keep changing editors based on however I feel like lol

[leomercyeditorking]

Storm: Storm and highlights? Omg this feels so 1999. Your titantron is so good the pace was so good except for the "vocal syncing parts" I felt them a little longer but it's just my taste. The CC, the flickers and the shakes...Perfect for the music and for the type of titantron you used. My favorite part is the "crazy" transtion, I loved it. My favorite titantron in this comp with the one from Argi. Now that I gave you the feedback...Edit NXT thanks!

Sarcastic: A very clean video, your flow is so unique and fantastic, 0:52 was so creative never seen something like that, I liked the "titles" of the match a lot and how you used and transitioned your CC was good af. Top 2 MV of this comp, can't decide between this or Stylopz one.

In my opinion this was the closest match in this comp, outstanding works guys!

[dead sarcastic]

Man, this video was absolutely perfect. Don't know why you were hesitant on making another highlight cause you have not lost your touch at all. Its highly impressive tho, cause the last highlight you made, which is one of my favorite edits ever, was made more than a year ago. And then to drop this gem as a comeback highlight was mindblowing. I've told you this before, but your slow mos are some of the best in the editing community. They look so smooth, and no ones does them as beautiful as you do. And your so good at picking the right clips for your edits and at knowing the right time to cut them. And what stood out to me the most in this video was that you allowed the clips breathe longer, but you would add an effect or switch CC mid clip to match the change of rythym. Which isnt done too often, usually one changes clip during a beat switch, but you decide to change the videos tone in a more different manner that feels so unique. Hopefully I made sense describing this technique you did lol.
I'm super excited to see what you'll be editing. You'll be putting a shit ton of people into new wrestling promotions with your amazing edits.
I was honored to take part of your comeback match. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this. You're a huge influence to this community and the most important member that's come on this group. With the way you help and encourage everyone, theres no one in th editing community that's as special and friendly as you are. Thank you for all the massive hard work you've done Storm!
Also, with this edit, you too deserve to be in a title match for the next comp. Your editing in the past 8 months have been out of this world just like Stylopz. Would love to see a triple threat rematch for the FMVC title again if its possible. Either way you definitely deserve to be in the FMVC Title match next event. You have proved yourself with every video you've dropped that you're probably the best editor in the community right now. Just a thought tho. Regardless of what match you're on next event, all I know is that you're gonna bring something special as usual and its gonna be phenomenal. Keep inspiring Stormy! Thank you for everything!
