Subject: Sumiko vs Super Jacquelyn/Pandora vs Jacquelyn

At the back end of last year, I ordered two custom clips from SKW. And to look at them side by side, they're a testament to the versatility of Sleeperkid and the women of the SKW roster. I don't know many sites where you could get two such radically different customs, produced by the same company, but both to an equally high standard.

The first of the two was the long awaited 'Fists of Sumiko 8'. So far. most of the clips in the FoS series have featured Sumiko vs another member of the SKW roster, set in the 'real' world. However, Fists 6 did have Natasha as a Spy'esque type opponent. This time around, I decided to add to the fictional elements of the series, and raise the stakes a little for Sumiko, by pitting her again Supergirl.

There were two reasons for this; Firstly, I had already decided on casting Jacquelyn as Sumiko's next victim, and so it made sense to make the most of Miss Velvet's brilliant acting. And b) I had an idea about incorporating the SKW mats into the plot. Cos they're blue, and blue Kryptonite strips a Kryptonian's powers! Well, it does in the TV show Smallville; In the comic books, it's actually gold K which has that effect. As it turned out, it didn't really matter cos a) most people ain't that geeky and b) in the actual video, Sumie refers to the mats as simply being lined with Kryptonite, without specifying any colour (So if there is anyone at my level of geekiness out there who buys this video and wonders why Supergirl isn't completely incapacitated, now you know!)

But I digress. It might have been a year since Sumiko's last 'Fists' clip, but she carries on exactly where she left off... With the same amount of 'welly' behind every kick, punch and knee, and the same sense of delight in laying the super-smackdown on her opponent. And as her opponent, Jacquelyn plays the suddenly powerless and considerably less than 'Super' Girl brilliantly. Not simply in her realistic selling of every kick and punch (Jacquelyn is a real queen of the KO), but also in her portrayal of Supergirl as a character in her own right.

Top marks as always go to Mr K. for his sterling work on the addition of a bazillion('ish) SFX on every kick and punch, with the addition on this clip of some Xena'esque 'whooshes' accompanying many of Sumie's kicks.

And luckily for you guys, this vid is already up at http://www.skwppv.com so you don't have to take my word for how utterly amazing this video is... Just go buy it!

For Clip No.2, I took the opportunity to commission a custom with Pandora on her brief but very welcome return to the SKW mats just before Chrimble. This time around, and no doubt to SK's relief, it would be a straight up wrestling bout (no SFX required!) with the returning Pandora facing off against Jacquelyn. And, once again, it wasn't going to be Jacquelyn's day. Pandora dominates proceeding from the start, and just like Sumiko, proves that kicking ass is like riding a bike, in that you never forget how. For the next ten minutes, Jackie is on the end of a submission and KO extravaganza as Pandora basically kicks her butt. Performances from both leading ladies are superb, with Pandora relishing the effortless beating she is dishing out and Jacquelyn clearly not relishing it!

And again, points for SK, this time for adhering to a request I made in my script that he stayed silent... Not that he chats through any SK videos normally, of course!! I just wanted the vibe for this video to be that it was all about Pandora kicking booty with no-one around to stop her.

So there you have it. Two clips; different in content, story and style - But identical where it counts the most... Quality.
