Special Demonstrations ver1.1 #11: Battle Garegga (SDD-Kaede, 18.48mil ALL, Miyamoto)

This is a re-release of the original Special Demonstrations #11 replay, except:
- the video is now in 1080p 60fps, and
- the design of the video layout is now updated to match more recent releases in the series.
- - - - -
These are the Special Demonstrations, a series of high quality replays by some of the best shooting game players out there, donated by the players themselves. As with the past SD releases, the motto is "great players deserve high quality replays", and I hope to continue that with every successive release.
The series is captured by the players themselves, and the raw footage is then processed by myself using Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor into something that hopefully resembles a commercial replay release.
The project was on hold for a while until recently, when Plasmo approached me asking if I'd be interested in editing a new Special Demonstrations replay using SDD-Kaede's footage and excellent commentary, of which he has released in Japanese on his own channel.
Now I was initially concerned for the overall quality of the footage, as what we had at the time was really low quality, being the final post-processed footage that's currently publicly available, but Kaede himself, after being informed of the project's aims and goals, very kindly donated the original HQ capture footage itself for use on SD #11.
And here we are. With Plasmo's work in translating Kaede's very insightful commentary, and Kaede's great footage, we've now added the Miyamoto WR holder's currently highest-scoring, publicly available replay to the project! Many thanks to the both of them for their contributions to the work, and to Kaede himself especially for giving us his blessing and for providing the materials necessary to get this one off the ground!

As a footnote: as KZbin turned off soft annotations on all their videos from 15th January 2019 onwards, the project will be moving towards hardcoded annotations. The previous episodes will likely be re-edited to include their original scripts as hard annotations at some point in the future.
