Forward B - There and Back Again(Much Better Quality!)


This video has the same background story as the Sheik combo video "Friend of the Night". Since all the matches were recorded that same day at my house. Again I worked with very few amount of matches to make this video. Check it out and enjoy!

The music is by the awesome band called Explosions In The Sky and its called "Catastrophe And The Cure"


Forward, this is the last video I have for you, it was a good time, come back to brooklyn again someday!

i thought you said it was an awesome band?. forward was doing some nasty stuff as usual but the song really killed it. that was definitely not combo vid worthy. it made the vid look so much more mellow. this vid would have felt a lot better with a better choice in song. other than that, great vid...peace

this song is mellow.....?
sounds pretty epic to me. explosions are just too good in my opinion.

oh well, to each his own.

crazy ****.

you know, the song IS really mellow, but i think it works. the mellow aural underscoring does nicely to contrast the total pwnination thats happening in the visual realm. it's like saying "hey i'm forward, and i'm totally destroying these guys, but really, i'm just relaxing."

IMO the song made the combo video smooth and easy to watch. I hate when it's hard house/techno stuff during a whole 8 minutes because instead of watching the clips, I just get annoyed and stop bothering. At least, you choose a good track and I loved it.

You always make good combo vid and your editing is good as always. Keep it up !

I know combo videos are supposed to make you look good, but Forward is clearly WAY better than his opponents in this vid. It made the video pretty boring halfway through when I realized he's averaging like 20 seconds a stock.

I did like the song, despite it not being "ideal" combo video music.

Mann, Forward is tooo good. That grab game on Fox was too great, a mindgame of it's own. 10/10 for sure man. Nice track and nice moves.

Good stuff! Forward makes me want to drop the bird. Much love on the music choices. The new TMBG is pretty good, and Explosions/Godspeed You Black Emperor/the other post-rock bands all bring the goodness. You should try using Godspeed's "East Hastings" in a vid.

i didnt like the whole grabbing thing over and over, i kept saying to myself "fox tech it or DI it or something!!"
but very nice moves, ive seen forward do a lot of those things on even the best of players, its what he does; he pwns

About the opponents - I agree that forward is better then us, but we are no noobs, I mean, we have vids of ourselves that you can check out http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=101047,

also I didnt do too bad against any of his other characters and almost beat his other characters, but his falco.... it was just TOOOOO fast. Unless you were really really good, his falco would destroy you in seconds.

Thanks a lot, I am also tired of some techno breakbeat song in the background of all the vids, leave that for the break dancing videos. Or hearing some metal track, like dragonforce or something.

I heart post rock, especially explosions and godspeed!

Man I would love to use a godspeed song, I just need a long enough video!!!!!

I might seriously try to pull something like that off though next time.

Sweet, I love Explosions too. They are one of the better post-rock bands out there :). The video footage was awesome too. Forward is too good.

I didnt realize how many post rock fans were out there in the smash world! awesome!

Im glad people liked the footage too. I mean, it would be ridiculous to not be amazed, even if you were PC.

We should have recorded his matches while he was at SFSU/SJSU tournies (norcal) and made a combo vid as well. :/

Haha, using an entire Godspeed track may be a little much. You could definitely do some interesting stuff with certain parts though. "Dead Flag Blues" without the spoken word parts and toy-piano-ish stuff should be under 10 minutes, I think. PM me if you're interested and I could do some re-edits of stuff for ya.

if you want, I can send you the 22 minute video (almost one gig file) of the matches with forwards falco.

a lot of the people he was playin weren't really top guys. Hardly saw any DI from them. Looks like mostly exhibition matches.

Best combo vid goes to Soldier of Fortune.
