Best Video to Impress Casuals?

[Tom Bombadil]

When you encounter a casual who really enjoys smash but doesn't realize how deep it is, what one video should you show them to leave them completely amazed?

Lately, I've been going for an Isai fox video:

My reasoning is that many people think fox is, "really quick and has a great side smash" without realizing how ridiculous he can be with conrol. Plus, the falcon punch at the beginning makes the Isai rampage all the more enjoyable.

I must have a thing for fox because I always used to go with ballin's fox compilation:

But I decided a full match was more interesting for people.


What's your favorite awe-inspiring smash vid?

 

[SheerMadness]

Sossi's Yoshi vid was the most impressive and influential video in my ssb64 infancy. This vid:

Not exactly as impressive today as it was when I saw it in 2005, but still pretty awe inspiring to casuals probably. Who really thinks Yoshi can do anything like that playing casual ssb64 with their friends?

 

[Yobolight]

Eh, the video that got me really into the game was Isai's Ness destroying Park's Pikachu which was recorded in like 2006.
That video hasn't aged well at all.

Someone should make greatest hits combo videos for like individual players (Isai, Ballin4life, Captain Tavo, SuPeRbOoMfan, Gerson, Sheermadness, Mariguas, Nangoku, JaimeHR etc..).

Something like that would be a good tool for new people to gain interest in the game, whilst simultaneously learning.
It would also show off all the unique play-styles out there.

Isai vs Gerson, Gerson vs Marca, or Sensei vs Kefit pika dittos

duh.

Edit: oops, didn't fully read...matches.
apex2013 firo v sensei

that one with isai's jiggs doing the telerest.

maybe morgen v maltfox (even though they're.. controversial)

I'd also throw tigerbombz and johnny in there

 

[Yoshi-Fan GM]

Jousuke's Samus vs Tatsuman's Kirby. Probably the most influential Samus vid I have ever seen.

But Isai's Samus vs Park's Pikachu is also good

[SSBPete]

the matches that inspired me to play were park vs isai, but they are 7 years old and probably out dated now

princes yoshi would be the next place i go to

 

[prisonchild]

any good falcon ditto would leave them speechless I think... or a combo-heavy Peruvian match?

maybe something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXjq1T5fXSA

If I had to pick one set of videos/one video, I think this falcon video/the entire set represents what this community is about.
Massive combos but also some proper DI to help escape from said combos, tech reads, proper shield drops/shield pressure, and it goes back and forth

In terms of my main? Probably the Sossi vs Isai set

I mean people always post Isai videos but the majority of them are just him beasting. Even matches are better

 

[Froski]

Falcon dittos are entertaining



**** the haters.

Here's 2 high level falcon dittos that I always enjoy watching

Superboomfan vs Fireblaster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYXmVxCYKes

Superboomfan vs Tigerbombz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM8c5qNMEyI

 

[Timotheus]

No match but this is my favorite:

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

No match but this is my favorite:

Actually have never seen this video
Interesting but just abit over-edited. It is also showcasing the JSSB version which has a very different combo system also (LolLinkCombos) which might be a bit odd as well.

 

[TheMagistrate]

isai and superboom gf 2012

Exactly

my opinion of falcon dittos are simple:
The combos are easy enough (or look easy enough) at least to impress newcomers
and they are cool enough that Battlecow goes:
