SSU - Ultima review by grescha

Intro: I've always liked these storylines with intros and outros you guys add, this one is good as well.

Part 1:

(1:33-1:46) Artifex: Nice terrain stunt but would have preferred an opener with a bit more "power".
(1:47-1:57) Corevil: The use of that monster method never appealed to me.
(1:58-2:04) Rusch69: Not a fan of p2b in general but I appreciate the really big air and prec.
(2:05-2:13) PrzemOO: Really sexy runup and nice prec.
(2:14-2:23) Rusch69: Been trying this myself alot so I know how hard it is. Nice job!
(2:34-2:31) Bart: Have tried this my self but never got any good bumps on the 2nd one. Glad to see you got it.
(2:32-2:36) Gryzlek: A good old curb2bump. Never saw this roof landed I think.
(2:37-2:46) Ktulu: It's a good stunt.
(2:47-2:54) Rusch69: No shocker since it's been landed from a another p2b before right?
(2:55-3:00) PrzemOO: Nice bigair.
(3:01-3:10) Bart: I tried this a little a couple of years ago but didn't think it would look good. I was wrong. Really good looking stunt Bart!

Part 2:

(3:20-3:35) Gryzlek: Nothing special.
(3:36-3:45) JustCaus3: Not a filler but a bit plain.
(3:46-3:54) Cookie: Nice one.
(3:55-4:01) Gryzlek: Congrats, this one is big!
(4:02-4:09) Rusch69: Fillerish.
(4:10-4:19) Sheikah16: Nothing special.
(4:20-4:30) Ktulu: Good execution but the prec is old.
(4:31-4:40) PrzemOO: Amazing! One of the best stunts in the vid.
(4:41-4:48) Jeff: Haha, it's no need for a name tag on this stunt.
(4:49-4:55) Anoobis: Ok one. Editor cut it too early though.
(4:56-5:03) Rainbow: Not that interesting.
(5:04-5:17) Bart: Sexy find! It's almost like these shops were placed for this stunt to take place.
(5:18-5:30) Gryzlek: TOP stunt! Really nice spinnage, good execution on the grind. Well done!
(5:31-5:39) Corevil: Not bad but you have done much better mtb combos. Keep them up!
(5:40-5:49) Bart: First time I've seen the use of a bullets bounce attribute without a rooftop drop. It looked good.
(5:50-5:57) Ktulu: Sweet work ktulu, awesome stunt!
(5:58-6:07) Rusch69: The prec was plain but nice distance before it.
(5:08-6:15) Artifex: It looks like an unteresting building to land.
(5:16-6:23) Rusch69:  I'm impressed.
(6:24-6:33) Ktulu: My man! Nice work landing this, it's hard.
(6:34-6:38) Gryzlek: Awesome work dude!
(6:39-6:47) Rusch69: No shocker but the best stunt of the video.
(6:48-7:05) Ktulu: Love you, you crazy bastard! It's very aestaethic when the runup is a stunt it self. Fat air, a huge building and nat (I guess?) makes it a fantastic stunt.

Outro:

Editing:

Editing wise I tried to make it entertaining while not over-doing it.

You succeded, it was enjoyable.

Overall: Bad choice of first song, it didn't bring any energy. Second one was good. All the latest SSU videos have had an awesome soundtrack so this was a bit dissapointing.

Nice balance and mixture of vehicles and type of stunts as always in your videos.

Rusch, Ktulu and Przemoo topped and most of the participants did a good job. Be proud fellas.

Whoa, that finisher! And it's always nice to see Jeff keeping it real.

First SA video I've watched in quite some time. I see this thread has nine pages of comments and knowing the SA stunting scene in the past, it's not difficult to realise what's going on here. Even though I too have used it I sometimes wish that FL-OFF never became the norm... But then SA probably wouldn't have held on for so many years.

On a related note: How many FPS do you guys get in SA nowadays? I remember getting about 130 a couple of years back with my old computer configuration. You must be getting above 200 now?

SA doesn't make use of all CPU cores and therefore the performance of a single core matters. In terms of visuals it ain't a big task for GPUs these days. Even a shitty iGPU like Intel's HD4000 can run it maxed out. FPS wise I'm reaching up to mid 170's with my overclocked i5 3570K, but FPS really don't matter at all. I don't feel much of a difference compared to my old system where I had around 60-70 FPS.

High FPS ≠ longer flights

Wish I could see 'em.

God damn proxy

dat. was. fucking. awesome. I see Rusch still owns it, after some of his stunts my jaw visited the neighbours downstairs. I still fucking hate him for forfeiting at the ET back in 2011 though. Great job on the editing part artiflex.
