Combo Video Speed: Sped up or Normal?

[Pyroloserkid]

I'm planning on making a serious of combo videos, sort of like Tapion did, but different themes.

The only problem is, most combo videos bore me because of the speed of this game.

NJs2Raw crew speeds up their combo videos, and in my opinion, they are much more entertaining to watch. Here they are:

Please understand that this is not a bash at Brawl in anyway - I love the game. It's just most combo videos tend to get boring, especially if they're more than 5 minutes or so. I think we all can admit that Brawl isn't all that fast, so please share your opinions with me.


I plan on working hard on my combo video series, and I want them to be positively received by you guys. I want to know whether you prefer videos sped up like the way NJs2Raw does it, or if I should leave them at normal Brawl speed.




If this could be made into a poll I'd greatly appreciate it.

You can do whatever you want, but that Peach was AWESOME.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

But would you rather watch those sped up videos, or regular Brawl speed?

 

[BlueJx23]

i think it's ok as long as it's listed in the summary that all the clips are sped up and by how much.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

I agree. I think I'd rather speed them up. It'll be more interesting to watch AND the video will be shorter.

 

[Arikie]

less time consuming videos are convenient, maybe keep a few clips in regular/ slo-mo speed if its one of the best parts of the video.

 

[Clever_Sleazoid]

Speeding up seems more like a way to cover up the areas where the opponent should have easily been able to counter or escape.

I personally prefer normal speed, and to make amazing combo videos you just basically have to have amazing moments of gameplay, that's all IMO.

 

[blaaa]

you shouldn't speed up the video just because that makes it seem like you're doing something different than you really are

 

[Sgt Isaac]

speeding up is nice and then maybe add some slo mo on particularly impressive kills.

I think sped up vids are al right, but I also like ones that are synched to the music.
Also, there are sometimes when a slo-mo replay is necessary.

Sometimes the video needs to be sped up in order to be synched properly.

NO!!! in fact, you should show the combos in brawl speed... and then SHOW THEM AGAIN REPEATEDLY IN SLOW MOTION! AND AGAIN EVEN SLOWER!!!!!!!!!! LOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOLLOLOLOLOLLLOLOO

 

[WIGI]

only speed up certain sections to match to the music, most of it should stay in real time in my opinion.

Wtf Stalkers.



Did you guys watch the video's I posted as examples though?

I realize this, but sometimes they don't. maybe you should link to a fast vid and a reg. speed vid, to give everyone something to compare.

Okay, if speed is the only thing taken into account, I'd have to say fast, Though I really don't mind watching either. Also, the playstyle of the person sometimes affects how the vid should look.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

Alright, I think I'll do a sped up one then.

 

[chaos_Leader]

Do whatever works.

Since you are speeding the footage up, I'd recommend adding a disclaimer so no one is misled by your vid.

Personally, I never speed my vids up, I'll trim out the excess and add more. It takes a lot of clips, a lot of footage, and a lot of cutting out, but I feel I get better vids in the long run.
I could be absolutely wrong on this, so don't hold me too hard to it.

 

[WIGI]

just sho it to a few people like i did with ym vid, if the speed up loks gay, we wil tell you and you can go from tehre.

Can you link me to your vids?

 

[Joxer]

yeah, i like the sped up idea

 

[Binx]

We should just make lightning brawl the standard then maybe the game wouldn't suck so hard

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

It looks like melee when it's sped up. I kind of like it better sped up just because of the fact that the game play looks faster though. If only they made brawl melee with the new characters.

 

[comboking]

it looks good the way they have it you can not only put in more combos but it looks more like they are actual combos and it looks like Melee

agreed

OOORRR you could use my idea....
