February Q&A video, and Collaboration Sneak Peek (Patreon)

Hey there everyone!

First, I wanted to remind y'all that if you have a question for the Q&A video, to leave it for me in the comments here, or any video from February!

I'm in process of planning March videos a bit at the moment. Last year, my big focus was improving the overall packaging of my videos (as in, the title and thumbnail), as well as focusing on bigger picture topics in order to encourage more growth. I think I did a decent job of that, so this year I want to continue that while revisiting some concepts I think performed well in previous years.

The stand out ones are probably the collaboration videos. Collaboration is more common now, between Brain F's podcast, and Sajam slam, but when I started Broken Moves collaboration was quite rare in our community.

So first off, GuileWinQuote (https://www.youtube.com/@GuileWinQuote) agreed to collaborate with me on a Terrible Moves in Fighting Games video along the lines of what I did with Diaphone. I'm planning on recording it with him next week, and should have it posted here before it releases.

Truthfully, Broken Moves was pretty easy to kick off, as I've played enough different games that I could think of a ton off the top of my head. As time went on, I found it difficult to pick standouts. The original videos had 5 moves per person, so I cut it to 3. The videos were still decently long, as we were sharing 6 moves from different games, but it lead to more discussion too between whoever I invited, and I felt better about the natural progression of the video. An example would be here with Brian when SF6 dropped - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waNHdypQ98o&t=3000s

What I've been working on this year is a spreadsheet for broken moves, terrible moves, and other things for videos of this type. So for example, I am very likely going to ask JMCrofts to collaborate on a video about the most unique moves in fighting games. I really enjoy working with Crofts, and I usually test out these types of concepts with him. Here's a move that I forgot about, from a game I did play, that I'm definitely going to use

 Mamiya from HNK has Wario's bike as a reversal.... or maybe I should say that Wario stole the bike from her?

Taking the time to do research not in advance but as a general practice should both increase the quality of the videos, and also should help with shock and surprise factor.

As usual, thank you all for your support!
