Looks cool! 
Do you think you could parametrize the effect so that each explosion looks a little bit different? It would make even a better example!

The editor uses the same “seed” for each preview, but ingame the seed would be different for each particalefx execution. The second column of particle effects with +/- signs influnces randomness:
In game it looks like this:
The differences might be small, but just tweek the +/- values and you would get this:

Nice! I think if you stretch the small “red” particles it will look closer to the example in the video. I belive those have to be like sparks.
