This certainly took some time. I bit off way more than I could chew with this one yet here we are. This is like the 3rd time I've broken my longest video record. Did I go too far? Nah I could of rambled for a lot longer but I didn't want to keep you around forever. I'm very happy to be done with this one and can't wait to move onto other stuff, sometimes I can spend hours in the editing bay and you get tired of it ya know? Hearing that outro is like a sweet symphony. I haven't played any real fighters this month b/c I've been working on this but these sacrifices must be made! Who else will hyper focus on fighting game character select screens for 50 minutes!?!? I'm just that guy and don't you forget it! Also don't forget my undying gratitude for watching, subscribing, commenting and of course reading, I truly apricate you all. Have a good day whoever you are see ya next time
