Statistics from the bvd youtube channel...

Recently the brianvondoom youtube channel hit 15,000 views.

I said when it hit 10,000 I'd post up some stats as people were asking and to be honest the channel belongs to everyone here more than I, as it's been pretty exclusively a channel for Irish fighting games for a while. It's not like the bvd channel is huge but it does get about 50 hits a day every day at this point so everyone here are stars of our own little channel at this point!

So I am going to do my best to post up some interesting stats.

Firstly: 15,600 views since Oct 30 2009

290 videos

That's 53.8 views per video


Here's the top ten in reverse order:



It appears everyone loves watching farz getting beaten. 1% of total views.

This is from the first event we ever recorded, I was happy to try it out in a messing around situation as if I recall there was an inferno shortly after.



Poor old Kirby getting killed to death by cog. 1.2% of total views.



This was a weird inferno, I recall loads of big hitters got knocked out in groups, and I personally had a couple of upsets



Blag and newtype, final of DSRB 3.3. 1.3% of total views.

This was my first dragonslayers and also the first tournament I figured out how to get a bit more quality out of mpeg streamclip/ youtube's uploading rules. This the mock full widescreen HD appearance. It's a good trick and I'll tell anyone who wants to know how to do it.





Cog and Newtype (yeah there's alot of them) this time at inferno 6. 1.4% of views.

I remember warring with the doom cam to stop bouncing, it's not a problem anymore This one's got a few views on neo empire.




The Hound vs Cog, Final of inferno 8. 1.6% of total views.

Interesting that the final match from vanilla to be played competetively in the Rep of Ireland is in the top ten. This one got some hits off SRK.



Blag v Cog, Final of the most recent inferno. 1.7%.

The fact that the most recent final is in the top ten shows how much quicker we're getting views these days. This one has had views from SRK, neo empire, edge forums, euro gamer and capcom unity. I assume people are linking them to the channel and good games to them people are clicking on those links and watching.



Inferno 7 final- Bush v Cog.

Yes, there is ALOT of Cog. There's a couple interesting hits on this one off youtube search...

cobelcog 25 35.7
cobelcog cammy 2 2.9
cobbelcog cammy 1 1.4
chu chu bush 1 1.4
streetfighter 4 cobelcog 1 1.4
chun-li bush 1 1.4

OOoooooh look at me I'm Irish Cammy.

This was during my experimental phase with effects 1.8%.




Something completely different, my world games cup vlog. 2.0% of hits. Popular in France Shot entirely on my phone. I still have some daigo footage I should throw up sometime.



Bush v Ken b. A group stages match in at number 2 2.1% of views. Nearly 150 of those views off SRK so I assume someone posted it there! Interestingly, this is the first one I can see which has someone delibrately searching for "inferno street fighter" videos.


So... there's LOADS of great matches there, pretty much all worth watching, if at least just to see how much the Irish fighting game community has evolved, and to see people like Hound explode on the scene.

So what could possibly be the no 1 most viewed video?

With 3% of total views, its, er, one of my turtle fests with dreddy...



The only reason it's this popular is because it was at the heart of a very minor flame war over the "fecking greeks" incident. Aw, happy memories.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this and it brought back some nice memories. I'm going to make another post shortly about some interesting statistics on who's watching where and when. The channel seems to be getting more popular as of late and it's probably because we're all getting better and more interesting to watch, or perhaps simply because there is more of us, or perhaps because I am making less videos at each tournament so people are focusing more on the big matches.
