Obviously he chose an option that would yield the maximum load times (having a number of intro cutscenes befoe the match begins) but one minute to main menu was already bad enough.
And I think he could have chosen a piece of music that would NOT have to loop every minute.

Agreed. Fair is fair. He did not play an exhibition match. The loading times were way too long, but had he played an exhibition match (which is more on-the-go than starting up a new story mode) then we'd have seen something more palatable.

Custom characters / Season Mode is what apparently takes the most time, due mainly to the number of load cycles. However, a quick match would likely take 1 - 2 min to load from main menu to match (the flash video would imply roughly 1 min 30 sec). Boot to main menu was 1 min 20 sec. So *at least* two and a half min for a "quick match"
