Some quick feedback needed...

Doctor DooM · 29-05-2011 11:04AM #1

Yeah so I am going to post a vid on the cross counter wall to see if we can boost the views for our vids, as per there last episode they're asking people like me to do this.

Which vids from the last couple of infernos stick out in your minds as being particularly good? Bear in mind quality all round counts, including commentary.

I'd appreciate some relatively quick responses on this one, I'd like to send one over before they're snowed under.

Ones which come to mind from feedback I have already had:

Any other ideas though I will take.

I don't have time to go through many videos at the moment, but purely looking at the four above I'd go with one of the first two - probably the Cobel v Stev0 one.
While all four are good matches, the first game of the third is pretty uninteresting and the commentary is mostly made up of stuff that's only funny if you're from the Inferno scene.
The grand finals with Cobel and Steve is also good, but the match and commentary both feel like a sequel to their Winners Final bout at the top and loses a lot of the excitement of the game if you haven't seen the first bout.

Out of the first two I just found the first game more interesting as it's an unusual matchup, though the mad spree of air throws was great in the Doom v Hound :pac:

On a semi-related note I'm dead impressed with the commentating skills in those videos. Y'all have a shockingly in depth knowledge of a lot of characters potential responses in any given situation.

Match 1 for me.

Commentators ye've got on mic know their stuff. Would avoid the swearing though - not in a "think of the children" way. I just think it takes away from the commentary. Do I sense bias in third vid too

If you mean the second one, everyone told me it was their fave match of the tournament

Sabre0001 · 29-05-2011 02:44PM

Nah I enjoy the Doom v Hound vid in terms of matchplay. Definately a good video and one I would also post to Cross Counter.

Not picking on individual commentators but there are a few bleep moments being thrown about (2nd & 3rd vids).

The bias reference is in Hound v Cobelcog (Fei Long v Cammy) but commentators reference it themselves. I suppose if I saw one person win Inferno 28 times in a row, I'd be rooting for someone else and it would be hard to contain

Cross Counter may enjoy some of ye're references in 4th vid

Doyler01 · 29-05-2011 03:42PM

Cobelcog actually asked us to hate on him in the commentary for the 3rd video.

My vote is for whichever video makes people laugh (If any) as the level of play is similar across all the videos. Laughs are always appreciated. Don't bleep anything out.. after all, we're all just a bunch of Drunk Irishmen to them.

chopperbyrne · 29-05-2011 03:48PM

Personally I'm always conscious of swearing in videos and think it's something we should try to avoid.

I'd go with Stev0 vs Cobelcog from XVIII or DooM vs Hound from XVIII

Doctor DooM · 29-05-2011 03:53PM

Personally I found the commentary in 18 much higher quality I think just because there's more people getting used to it, and comfortable being a little more light hearted or referential (there's a couple of videos with people saying stuff like "If you're new to this youtube channel, you mightn't know Doom is a dirty spamming git" or the like).

I don't mind a little swearing myself, but I'd find a continuous stream of it annoying.

Doyler01 · 29-05-2011 04:02PM

Watched them all again.

Game play wise I gotta go with the aul underdog story, Doom v Hound.

The Hound · 29-05-2011 08:09PM

Don't upload me or submit me to cross counter please.

Fergus_ · 29-05-2011 08:10PM

Cobels/Stevo for me!

Dwydwy · 30-05-2011 12:59AM

Cobels vs. Hound.

GorySnake · 30-05-2011 03:50AM

Farz vs AJ, Battle for Zeus

UberPrinny_Baal · 30-05-2011 11:57AM

After watching Cross-Counter's video relating to this, it's cool to see that their #1 tip for good videos is to buy a Hauppage.
Great to see Doom has us so far ahead of the curve.

Regarding video recommendations: I'm not sure what to reccomend if all Hound's stuff is off the table. Probably Cobelcog/Stevo. Great match, great commentary, and audible crowd reaction on the mikes.

Placebo · 30-05-2011 12:15PM

i think doom vs farz
battle for the air throw

Doctor DooM · 30-05-2011 12:31PM

Well the general consensus seems to be Cog /Stev0, if both of them are ok with it I am going to use that.

Orim · 30-05-2011 01:37PM

I don't think Cog would like that. He's very shy.

Cobelcog · 30-05-2011 02:56PM

Don't upload me or submit me to cross counter please.

lol

lol, I know Hounds shy, you're just being a git

stev0knev022 · 30-05-2011 03:41PM

You can upload any of my matches.

:D

I personally think the match from the inferno final couple of months ago was better than this last one, but whatever.

Nah, the recent one has a close (and tbh, a little bit heartbreaking) finish.

Sorry

chopperbyrne · 30-05-2011 03:54PM

The latest one has better commentary too.

D4RK ONION · 30-05-2011 04:00PM

Appreciate all the kind words about myself and speedboat's commentary lads

Owwmykneecap · 01-06-2011 01:21AM

We got a .png for sf.ie and evo.sf.ie that gootecks and ross and throw up on screen during their round ups?

They're giving the public a chance to get their videos seen by their own viewers. They felt that there were some great videos but only getting about 1k in views.

no idea, though doom does want to send one in.

During eps they shout out comps around the US, and have mentioned oz hadou (or whatevers) one, might be a good place to get a shout out considering the evo ticket prize.

Some quick feedback needed...
