Campaign of Improvement - A Marth Combo Video (Download now available)

Some disclaimers before some people will just scroll down to the video (I know you people are out there ).

If QUALITY is an issue for you, then you will NOT like this video. All footage was captured via a digital camera that wasn't hooked up to the screen.

If DI is an issue (since when is it never?), then you will not like this video, especially at the middle.

If you like seeing a change in style, then you might like this video. All clips were used in chronological order according to the day that the matches were recorded (hence the title is "Campaign of Improvement").

If you like band music, then you probably will like this video.

That being said, this is my first video. I hope you enjoy it (especially the music for the credits). Props to whoever can tell what the meters are for the first song (note that there is only one part in which it doesn't change at some point).

EDIT: As stated in the title, you can now download it via FileFront

Lol, I'm not good at mindgaming at all; I'm sure later commentors will pick up on that. You should see the matches I have with b4tt1enet via YouTube; I get my arse owned completely .

Hmm... Well, I wish you would've gotten/used more recent videos, but I see you were trying to show the advancements you have made... I also think that certain combos led on a little too long and showed a bit too much match footage... and... I must say, you love your edge-hop spike... None-the-less, everything else was superb. I mean, at first I thought your music choice was strange, but in the end it worked quite well... BTW, I loved your Chrono Trigger piano piece!! Nice work Metroid1117!!

It's a combo video... O_o
Great combos throughout.
I recommend posting this in the Marth forums as well.

If I get flamed for spamming I'll blame you .

great vid guys i really liked teh concept thought it was edited well the quality wasn't a big issue it was great to see some actual progress and watch somebody who is playing just to have fun and improving at the same time

great video. really, i loved it.

I don't really have any comment to say right now other than, that last song nearly made me cry. I love that song, Yasunori Mitsuda is one of my favourite composers, and Chrono Trigger is an amazing game. I really want that arrangment. I've performed an arrangement of that myself for clarinet and piano, and I've also done a Latin-style arrangement of it (also for clarinet, because it's the best **** instrument, it's nice to see you made the decision to play it). Please, send me the sheet music for that arrangement, you are my hero for playing that!!! ^ ^

And the Marth was good too, lol.

Thanks for the comment; I really like that song too. Here's kLuTz's website; it has that and more sheet music: http://klutz.vgmidi.com/music.php. Have fun with it .

I must be sounding easy to please at this point, but there really have been some good new vids in here recently...
Props all around for this one. Concept, music, and yes, the combos. ;D
Keep it up! :D

Wow...you're in high school band too?!? o.0

You're just like me lol.....except about 50x better...and you're probably older too lol.

Nice vid. I can see you've come a long way. Congrats.

Hey cool, my band conductor is from Texas. Anyway, I doubt I'm that much better than you; you shouldn't make those judgments until you see how badly I do in actual matches.

Haha just wait until I get a video camera...then you'll see the truth lol.

Besides that I've never been to any smash tournaments at all, and I don't really have any good enough friends to play with. And my brother seriously plays me like what, once every 2 months? But whatever; my cousins will be in town this weekend, so hopefully that will change things.....hopefully.

Beyond THAT I've been busy with drumline camp all this week, but I'll ask my mom if she can get me a camera for a b-day soon, only then will I be able to eventually get some vids up here.

btw my b-day is today. 17 YEARS OLD FTW!!!!!!

i'll disagree and argue that the editing could have been a little better

very good nonetheless; i don't think i need to state my point twice

wow those were some awesome combos! it seems like everyone else liked it a lot too =) btw, thx for the compliment at the end. though it makes me seem like a pro but im really not XD.
