I am still learning how to edit, so go easy on me. All footage was of my own gameplay. I just had some fun with it. It took me forever to learn how to get the two main beat drops in the song to be synced with the footage.

Pwned Cake

Anyways, hope you enjoy the music that Jay T came up with. This wasn't directed towards our veterans, who will quickly point out that some of the footage was fighting grays just for effect. Some characters are owned by my wife.

*starts bobbing head to the song*

Oh, if you want to know what this is all about, it involves a joke from another video here.

I was just gonna' say you missed an opportunity to use Ryu doing his Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku to that sound, but then I realised you were actually going from that very joke I'm still partial to Dudley Orders Fast Food, myself.

That's not a bad video, honestly. Personally, I'd suggest going with a few more cuts to play to the music some more.

I've had a couple of attempts of my own, such as this music video for Primo Victoria compiled from a Mugen version, but as with everything I do that relies on precise split-second timing, YouTube has desynced the audio just enough to not really be in-tune with the music, sadly. And I don't have the original file any more.

Thank you - I will continue to learn and work harder at that kinda stuff if I make another one in the future. Most of the dislikes are from people that just hate the music genre from messages I've received. Ah well.

It's cool to learn while having fun - now that I know how to time stuff to music I will probably put more instances of it in videos.

That's odd. The music was my favourite part of the video, aside from right at the beginning.

If I might make a suggestion: Your beginning is GREAT. I really love the big watery explosion at the hard beat increase in the music. I'd suggest doing this more often throughout the song. In fact, I'd suggest that you time your video to have something big happening every time the song goes "I'd like some POOOUND CAKE!" right where the big beat is. The first one was amazing, but the rest just sort of play over stock footage.

I did it twice on purpose - the first one you mentioned, and at the 2nd beat drop where you see my wife's Super Strength brute do a footstomp using the alternate hand animation for it. I know exactly what you mean though, and it is what I've gotten requests for the most - that I should have had a strike or kill at every main 'pound' beat.
