"A few clicks away from greatness" is honestly a pretty good analogy for your content. Your editing, while not my preference, is serviceable; the overall research done for your videos is pretty good, but the pacing and tone (the latter is most likely just biased) of the videos is where you fall short. On the pacing note, there's a lot of examples of this scattered throughout the entire video, and overall there's many details that could've been given throughout the 3 sections to make all of their stories feel complete (like mentioning that Quasar's callout was probably just because of the heat of the moment and all the pressure he was under with Surv having gotten a 96 fail and all), plus the occasional joke or two that could've been made out of some of the minor events (you could've done something with the fact that Quasar "pulled a Mabby" by dying in the exact same spot as him in ASonic's ball part, etc) but the most noticeable one is the Bloodlust section in general. While a lot of the things you did in that part you pulled off well, the latter half of it feels rushed: like you wanted to cut as many corners as possible to move on to the next part. You could've probably squeezed a few more sentences before moving on to Knob's 97 fail and repeated 98 fail, plus the absence of any mention of Crazen is baffling. There's so much more watchtime that could have been extracted out of the drama between Knob and Crazen: the rapid progress he made on his LDM copy, how Crazen justified him stealing BL saying it was payback from Fusion Z, you get the idea. I know Crazen is a controversial figure, and the things he did are absolutely unforgivable but the role he plays in the BL story is way too large to be forgotten.
