Unreleased Video Example (Patreon)

So I think often about what what types of videos I should release. If you've been watching for a while, you would know that at one point I maintained a 300 day streak (of daily uploads), but around last October I started to shift to 3-4 uploads a week.

At the beginning, I found it very hard to upload daily, but as time went on, I found it pretty easy. I used structures like this:

-1x online play

-2x guides

-1 to 2x something about a character/characters

-whatever is left is reacting to news, fill in with a tier list, or anything like that.

With this method, my output was VERY high, but I felt like the quality was not quite what I wanted, especially when I covered in depth topics. On top of that, I edited everything on my own at that time, so I had to keep things simple.

These days, I try more ambitious videos, and I have an editor to help out (thanks Beastcoast 🥹). So, I still think about how to "fill in days" so that my editor can take his time and make a quality cut to what I recorded. 

One lane I was considering was reacting to a broader spectrum of fighting game content. Despite feeling like we (the FGC) are a couple of years behind other gaming niches as far as content, there IS a broad spectrum of FG content - a lot of which I used to pass over. I tried a react day on Twitch, which was fun, and which led to this video being created.

This was reacting to Majin Obama's FG certification quiz - a funny video for sure, and in my opinion, a good react video too. That being said, when I watched it after the fact, I instead found an example of the type of content I wouldn't want for YouTube.

As a stream segment, I found this good and fun, but as a YouTube video, I don't think it's a lane I want to enter. The main thing being that while there are a lot of personal past stories (which is fine), there are also things in the vid that I'm sure some players could live without having to hear about again (for example, Perfect Legend). 

It's pain too because I think it would have performed well, but I already had a video come out about myself earlier this year (from the homie Jiyuna), and while it was in good fun and the story he told wasn't inflammatory, the impact of that video lasted a couple of months. I wouldn't want to do that to other players, so let's keep it in the game.

...unless it's about that hater Mr Wizard 💀💀💀💀

A little lengthy post, let me know what y'all think of the video. Do you think I'm thinking too hard or am I justified for not posting it? I have also attached the thumbnail I was planning on using.
