Eh, nice vid, nothing special. 3/5.

Sorry I don't have more constructive criticism, but I'm neither an action editor nor a conoisseur of action videos.

What was the song and what DDR mix was it on? You didn't give the name or the artist, and I don't recognize it.

Hey, thanks for the review. My friend in the dorm I was in gave me a cd with a lot of DDR songs and she swore it was a DDR song. I have no idea what the real name of the song was, but I thought it would make a fun video. I think I just need to explore my creative side of editing. I'm just now getting a few more editing softwares and I'm learning as i go along. (that's why i like your phrase on your post) Being a Media Production major helps too.

Well, okay, I did think of something I could say. I noticed that a lot of the cuts between scenes were matched to beats/bars, and that's all well and good, but something that would really make people take notice was some more of what people these days seem to like to call "internal sync" -- that is, also hitting beats with the actions happening in the clips rather than just the clip boundaries. I didn't notice much of that happening, and I think it would really help in future action videos of yours. If I'm watching a video and I see Spike's kicks lining up with some strong beats, it's a lot easier for me to get into it. Hope this helps.

I thought that was a great video, the song was perfect for Cowboy Bebop. Nice job editing and it was a great video.

Scintilla: I thought he had a lot more "internal sync" than you are giving him credit for.

1:17-1:20 (fighting althought spikes kick seemed a little delayed)
1:32-1:42 (fighting)
1:54-1:56 (with the lasers)
2:30-2:35 (Equipment)

Those are just a few points that I really noticed in the begining.
