On the technical side:
- 0:17 This jump in audio just sounds jarring.
- The short use of a cover or a remix (I'm not sure what that is) at the beginning is distracting. Why go from it to the game version of the song?
- Occasional overlap between "It has to be this way" and UBW OST in the background doesn't sound good.
- While I personally don't mind it, the presence of subtitles seems to be frowned upon in AMVs and MADs.
- The language inconsistency is distracting. Either do all Japanese, or all English... Unless you want to play up the fact that in Japanese voiced material Archer’s UBW chant is always the English version, while Shirou’s is in Japanese (if I remember correctly). In that case I could see giving Archer the English lines and Shirou Japanese as deliberate emphasis on that aspect. But here it just distracting.
On the thematic side (very subjective):
- Maybe I am approaching it from a wrong angle, but it feels like of the three fights you used here, only Shirou vs. Kirei fits the song and its original use in the game. Both Raiden vs. Armstrong and Shirou vs Kirei are the climactic confrontations of two madmen fighting for their flawed causes and ideals. Even the forms of attacks kind of match. Like Kirei, Armstrong deals damage with very powerful blows and an occasional chokehold, while Shirou, like Raiden, lands a few solid hits, but most of the damage comes from cutting his opponent little by little. Maybe it would have been a better idea to focus on just the Shirou vs. Kirei fight and maybe a touch of their personal background.
- Another idea, if you want to do multiple fights, is to use multiple songs. Though it's harder to pick that way. If we stick to Metal Gear Rising Revengeance songs, "The only thing I know for real" seems to work well enough for Archer. The song of a man who kept fighting for an ideal and lost his path along the way. Granted it works more as a song for Archer himself in general than for his fight with Shirou specifically. The lyrics "Memories broken ", "I've even forgotten my name", "Losing my identity" go well Archer's own parting with human identity, becoming a mechanical executor of an ideal. "A desolate place" and two following lines would go well with the "metaphorical UBW" shots (the ones where Archer puts swords into ground with his own hands). Everything between "It's me that I spite" and "Will ride upon the dragon's back" can be accompanied by scenes from Shirou vs. Archer fight, with the last line having a focused shot of Saber overlooking their fight. The last verse could have alternating shots of their fight and flashbacks to Archer's past kills, with the final line "Never realizing why I fight" playing over the moment Archer hesitates to deliver what would have been a decisive blow.
- As for Gilgamesh, the best I can suggest is "Collective Consciousness" (specifically the Demo / Original version), as one of the interpretations of this song is that it is a mocking and derisive description by Armstrong of the state of the world (specifically America but that's irrelevant here). Similarly Gilgamesh in UBW is driven by his disgust for the modern world. Both seek to unleash a catastrophe upon the world, that will leave only those who are worthy. Though the lyrics themselves don't bring to mind any good imagery that would go well with them.
Thanks for the feedback on the vid it was my first time trying to do a mad i know it was not great but i gonna try and improve on them overtime i will try and do those suggestings in the future when i do more MADs i will try and take all those into curdesning when i do my next mad.
@@farcrylego Just don't take the thematic part of my comment too close to heart. When I wrote it, I didn't realize that I got so carried away. I just love (somewhat obsessively) both Fate and Metal Gear franchises, and couldn't stop myself from making those analogies and connections.
