The main difference between the Judo and Aikido guys in the video is they were trained for encounters at different distances. As close as they were in the video the Judo guy had the advantage. If they were further apart and the Judo guy had to step across a larger distance to attack, the Aikido guy would be better able to use Aikido technique.
No attack no Aikido

I don't think distance is really the issue. Your statement seems to be that an attacker with more momentum than the judo guy had would be easier for the aikido guy to deal with. Well sure. Try a higher momentum attack on a judo player sometime. I think they'll also be pretty comfortable with that attack.
