Time well spent
Structurally speaking, this movie deserves every bit of the 10/5 that I am giving it. Although I do have a few critiques/concerns, none of them are grounds enough to warrant a reduction in score. It's all a matter of personal opinion, so feel free to disregard.
Now, anyone familiar with your style will know that they are in for a mingling of action with humor. It works well for you. However, it seems that this movie has a bit of an imbalance. In previous installments, most of the sight gags were short and sweet, especially during the action. That made it enjoyable without serving as a distraction. The issue that I had with this one is that it changed gears too often. I couldn't really get into the flow of the Epic Battle scene due to the constant jumps between "funny" and "serious". The prolonged presentation of the funny parts was much more distracting than the usual fare of the tournament.
I must also admit to having a bit of cognitive dissonance during the more violent parts. The relationship between humor and murderous, dismemberment violence is tricky. For example, I have watched this movie a few times and the Ryu part gets the same LOL reaction out of me every time. It was set up perfectly and the unexpected outcome was just priceless. However, the same thing applied to the Rikuo and Dan seemed out of place.
Anyway, those are the main points I wanted to make and I've rambled quite enough. The time and hard work you've put into this definitely shows through and I eagerly await future installments!
