Fighting game YouTube video editor for hire
I’m Kevin Tabares, a long-form YouTube editor. I edit long-form gaming for 1.26M–2.29M-subscriber channels (Mud, Puff, Rex & Alexa) and can edit yours: $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. My closest work is Roblox 1v1s and battlegrounds; I haven’t edited fighting games like Street Fighter or Tekken for a client yet, so start with a free 1-minute test.
Free 1-minute test edit · From $55 per video · No contract · Revisions back within 24 h
9.8/10 average: 20 YT Jobs reviews from 19 client channels, 17 of them a perfect 10/10
Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- High-level match videos and replays, ranked climbs with one character, tournament top 8 recaps and co-streams, reactions to character trailers, state of the game videos, combo and tech breakdowns
- Editing style
- What I would do for fighting game videos: the HUD left clear so health and meter stay readable, the combo that decides the round slowed down, player and character names on a card before each set, rounds and sets on a score card, and reactions with the trailer and your face side by side. Close to the Roblox Rivals 1v1s I edit for goatt and Mud
- Video length
- Fighting game videos on big channels split by format (Xuses’ match videos 15 to 24 minutes, Maximilian Dood’s reactions mostly 8 to 30 minutes, PhiDX’s tournament co-streams over two hours, measured on Oct 18, 2026): most land in the $150 or $300 package, tournament videos get a custom quote. I also edit longer: Swaylemc’s full movies on my YT Jobs profile run 60 to 234 minutes.
- Upload schedule
- One video only, 1 video per week, 2–3 videos per week, 4 videos per month or several a week (Mud: about 3 a week). Start with one pilot: the free 1-minute test edit.
- Format
- Long-form YouTube videos are the core. YouTube Shorts cut from each long video on request.
- What you send me
- Gameplay and voice recording, ready to edit, or long recordings that need trimming and story building. Separate mic tracks help.
- Estimated price
- About $55 to $150 per finished video (up to $300 for some long or complex edits), depending on length, raw footage and effects. That fits the ‘$50+’ and ‘$100–$300 per video’ boxes for most long videos. Four videos a month: about $220 to $600 (more for long or complex videos); a $500 a month budget usually covers two to four long videos, depending on length. Exact quote within 24 hours, after a free 1-minute test edit.
- Channel size
- From under 1K subscribers (Mr. Marticson, 834) and small to mid-size channels (ThatNoob 4.9K, Crazz 10.7K, DakBlox 82.6K: 0 to 2M+ views in six months) up to 2M+ (Rex 2.29M, Puff 1.83M, Mud 1.26M)

My experience and fighting game, plainly

What big fighting game channels upload in October 2026

The formats that keep coming back:

How I would edit your fighting game videos
No fighting game channel has sent me footage yet, so read this as my plan for your video. Each point comes from real work of mine: Roblox Rivals 1v1s for goatt and Mud, a Roblox battlegrounds game for DakBlox and an earlier tournament video for SquadZilla.
The HUD stays clear
In a fighting game the health bars, meter and timer are the score. I would keep every title, face cam and label away from the HUD, so viewers can always read who is winning.
The combo that decides the round, slowed down
I would keep the round at normal speed, then replay the combo or the read that decided it slowed down, with the hits clean and loud. It is how I cut the decisive hit in Roblox Rivals 1v1s.
Names and characters before each set
For match videos and tournaments, a card before each set with both players’ names and characters, in one style for the channel, so a viewer who skips ahead knows who is playing.
A score card for rounds and sets
Rounds won and the set score in a fixed corner, updated after each round, the way I keep a fixed counter in every challenge series I edit.
Reactions: the trailer and your face, side by side
For trailer reactions I would keep the trailer large and your face cam beside it, pause the trailer on the moments you talk over, and cut your silences, not your reactions.
Tournament recaps cut to the sets that matter
From a long top 8 co-stream, I would keep the sets with the upsets and the comebacks, a small bracket graphic between them and your commentary at the key moments, with chapters per set.
Closest real examples of my gaming work
Five videos from my work for DakBlox, goatt, Mud and SquadZilla, chosen because their format sits closest to a fighting game video: a Roblox battlegrounds game, 1v1s where every hit counts, ranked update news and a tournament with rounds. Watch the first minute of the one closest to your format.
None of these is fighting game. Views from the YouTube Data API on Oct 13, 2026; links open the video on YouTube.

FAQ
Have you edited fighting game videos before?
No, I haven’t edited fighting games like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 or Smash for a client yet. The closest is 1v1 PvP in Roblox Rivals for goatt and Mud and a Roblox battlegrounds game for DakBlox, all on my YT Jobs profile. The free 1-minute test edit on your own footage is how you judge my cut before paying anything.
Can you edit my fighting game videos?
Yes. Send one set or a few minutes of your session, with your voice on a separate track if you have it, and I edit one minute of it for free, so you can judge the cut before paying. I edit long-form videos from 10 minutes to several hours and cut Shorts from them if you want them.
Can you edit a long tournament co-stream into a recap?
Yes. Send the stream and tell me which sets matter. I would keep the upsets and comebacks, add a bracket card between sets and chapters for each one.
Will you keep the inputs and the HUD readable?
Yes. Nothing I add covers the health bars, meter or an input display if you record one.
Can you edit trailer reactions fast after a reveal?
Yes. After the first video, my turnaround is 1 to 2 days per video. Tell me when a reveal is coming and I keep the slot for you.
How much does a fighting game YouTube editor cost?
My price is $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. By finished length: up to 10 minutes $55, up to 20 minutes $150, up to 35 minutes $300; longer videos get a custom quote. No contract and no minimum.
