Storm this video is maddddd clean man!!! The intensity it brought at the beginning was a freaking chef’s kiss dawg!!!!

[Sami]

Storm : I like these effects during face off and how you re called their former matches just in the first lock up, I like how it smoothly follows the song with Nakajima's expression to Kenoh's big knee on. The story on Kenoh's knee was well explained. I like that slow mo on this double kick. I absolutely love this callback before the punt kick. But as I already told you I'm not a fan of this camera angle at 2:47 that I think you should have removed. But yeah crazy highlight, as always, your work is just crazy

SSJ : The idea of the Rumble is interesting I like it but I think it didn't render as good as it could have. Not a big fan of starting on someone in particular's entrance. It was very "entrance by entrance" you know. 3 RKOs was way too much, not a fan of this effect before Edge's spear at 0:32. Once again a lot of fade outs Some unncessar fast forwards and effects. And your breakdown feels pretty empty.
I liked the idea but I think it coud have been built different in a more interesting way

Storm: the edit was superclean man, I love those speed ups in the staredown a lot. The CC’s were super nice and the effects were very well made, especially the ones at the end during the breakdown thingie or whatever.. I think you get the point, that was awesome.

Jacob: I really like your edits and appreciate them but there is one major problem that imho makes them less enjoyable to watch which are the slow-mo’s… I am a really bog fan of well done speed ups and slow-mo’s but I think they are way too spammed in your videos. Other than that I like them, I like the CC’s and the way you cut the clips. I think if you got rid of that problem, your edits would be way better.

Congrats to both guys, may the best editor win!!

SSJ: First of all thank you for joining us again and for taking me on, you had 3 contenders to face you and I won the spin haha. You were super easy to work with and made this entire process much easier, hosting comps is so fucking tiring sometimes... So anyway, I mentioned in the other edit your slow mos issue and here it was less prominent and I am glad to see this, just again no slow mo in a breakdown ever again please, scream doesn't mean slow down the clip. I never edited Royal Rumble so I have no experience with it and I can't really judge the match structure and how it was done. But from editing standpoint this video was more dynamic and it was following the song better, there are some cuts where you see after move or strike happens tho so you should pay attention to it but overall this was better. I am a sucker for RGB and loved your use of it in the crazier parts of the song. Overall this edit was better than the previous one IMO and everything was well edited with cool effects without stuff that's out of place (except for the breakdown), it was just a bit rough around the edges but what matters is that pacing and flow weren't issues here. Really good job on this one!

Storm: The beginning was so mad especially with those speed ups, they were so clean, and those fast flashbackes were on point. The CC changes were obviously incredibly smooth and the all CCs looked beautiful. These wrestler's styles really fit well with this impact editing syncing style, it just makes it look that much more brutal. The sync and presentation were on point and those shakes were super nice as always. Those blurred RGB's in the build up of breakdown were super dope and MY GOD!!! THAT BREAKDOWN PART!!! THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EDITED PARTS I'VE SEEN. One of the best highlights I've seen and I think it's even than the birthday video you made for me.


SSJ: This compared to your other highlight for comp is just much better. I liked the pacing a lot more although I still found some problems with your slow mos spamming. You did shakes the right way IMO although I feel like your other video had better CC IMO. But overall I did have a fun time watching and I could understand certain storylines from the RR. Good job!

[Arguden]

Storm: This is one of your best highlights. I absolutely loved the intro, it's really impressive how creatively you used the camera work. Editing was incredible, I especially loved the shakes in this one. CC work was really strong as always even though I think a stronger CC would've worked better in the chorus. In my opinion flickers weren't really needed for this video, you could've done something else but it's just a personal preference. The breakdown is just holy shit, I replayed it at least 10 times when you first sent the video. Really incredible video man.

SSJ: First of all, great song choice for a chaotic match like Royal Rumble, it definitely adds up to the video a lot. Editing was good, I'm not a fan of your twixtors because they sometimes feel unnecessary and I think you should use them less just like your old editing style. You should also avoid showing the ending of the moves because it doesn't look good in my opinion. On the other hand shakes and flickers were done very well at the right moments. CC choices are good as well. Overall this was a fun video, good work man.

Storm:
It’s still weird to me to see you editing NOAH but I love it 😂
What can I say? there’s literally nothing I can say to make you any better or teach you like I said to Stylopz.
I LOVED how you edited the face off at the beginning, it was so fucking badass.
Everything is just perfect.

SSJ:
A bold choice of a match to edit.
It’s not easy to edit a Rumble match in my opinion.
I’m not familiar with your work but I think that you did well overall.
You showed the interesting parts and your sync is very good.

Storm: I really loved this one, the song is fantastic and you really followed it perfectly. The speedups at the beginning were so clean and the zooms aswell. The CCs and the parts where they change were fantastic. The breakdown part is the best part I have ever seen in a wrestling edit. Everything fits so well and it's so creative. One of the best highlights I have ever witnessed.

SSJ: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1..... STORM ELIMINATED!!! SERIOUSLY JAKEY, THIS SHIT BANGED. MAD PACE, CRAZY FLICKERS, WHAT AN EDIT! A MIXTURE OF EVERY AWESOME FX AND BANGING CC, SMOKING HOT !!

Storm: I saw this video a few times already and I think I already told you how much I like it. So yeah, more of the same from you, just a masterpiece of a highlight. Pacing was great, the video flew by pretty quickly and the atmosphere of this match was captured perfectly. The breakdown part is something that makes this video one of my favorites from you. It's built up and executed perfectly, I really felt every second of it and the moment it ended I wanted to see more. Just an amazing highlight that will be on replay for quite some time.

SSJ: First of all, I'm really glad that you are here again. As someone who edited a few Rumbles before, I know how hard it can be to structure and execute a highlight like this, it truly is a pain in the ass and I think you did it pretty well mostly. From the technical standpoint, I liked a lot of it and while I have some complaints (some slowmotions weren't needed and some clips were weirdly cut), I think you did this right. Pacing was quite good, flow with the song was very good and I enjoyed the video quite a lot overall. Really good work.
