Initial D: Fifth Stage - Ryosuke vs. Shinigami [SUPERCUT]

2019-05-30 2,217

The Ryosuke vs Shinigami battle with all the non-racing parts removed, Battle Stage-style. Like usual, all the songs are listed in the description down below.

(There is a framerate error around the 2:50 mark in the video. I'm aware of it, it's got to do with the source footage being bugged. I have yet to find a rip of Fifth Stage where this framerate bug doesn't occur.)

It's been more than four months since the last Supercut, partly because I've been doing stuff on my main channel (go check it out!), partly because I wanted to take a break from editing the Supercuts, and partly because I've been busy with university stuff. Being lazy might also have contributed to the delay. The sheer length of this battle put me off the idea of editing it for a while.

Although I don't really believe this battle *needs* a Supercut, I did this one regardless because people requested it, and also because it's needed for Battle Stage 3 (which will compile all my current and future Fifth/Final Stage Supercuts into a single video). Because context is so important for this battle, I tried to retain as many conversations and flashbacks as humanly possible, without having them interrupt the general flow of the battle. As a result, this Supercut is a whole 27 minutes long - making this my longest Youtube video by far.

Although the original battle features some fantastic music, I made a choice to replace all of it with new songs in order to keep this video in line with the previous Supercuts. Picking out which songs to use for this battle was extremely difficult, as the 'feel' for the battle is almost wholly dependent on the soundtrack. I'm very satisfied with the songs I ended up choosing, and I hope you are too.

Do comment if there was something you particularly liked (or didn't like!) about this video - feedback only contributes to making my videos better.

As a side note, this channel has really exploded in popularity these past few months. The channel launched less than seven months ago with the FD vs. Evo Supercut, and in that time it's amounted to ~680.000 total views. Not bad! Your enthusiasm for these videos only motivates me to make more :-)
