Well i reckon he just means that there really isn't much of an "accent" to it; for example Chen Haiwei bends forward a lot while Lei sheng (IMO) stands up a bit too tall with his sword arm up slightly high
On the other hand, I reckon Ota's stance has more of a centered weight most of the time (not really in the 2008 videos). But if you see Ota has changed his stance to meet the "meta" of fencing, so to speak; e.g.: Whereas before he favoured a more forward stance so he could parry and attack faster with less energy, now he has a more upright stance to fit with the faster pace over a longer distance as well as change direction easier in this aggressive meta brought by people like Massialas
For those of you who aren't sure on the song used, it's called "300 Violin Orchestra".
Ota's neutral stance is like that of a Street Fighter. He looks like he's ready for a fist fight.
