This is an old vid that some of you might have already seen, but I enjoyed this video despite it being nothing special compared to Melee combo videos. A lot of it consists of continuations (more than combos) but I liked it anyway.

FL is a good state for Brawl because everyone down here grinds out their wins hit by hit, taking it slow, mindgame for mindgame down here. This video features some Azen and a few others. I have to say though, after watching this I wonder if Brawl has more continuation/combo credit then we give it credit for. There was moments throughout the video (with Falcon especially) where it felt like a Melee approach all over again.

FL is good. But I think we play the game more mindgame/spacey than necessary like we've given up on the combo potential completely for some characters. Obviously characters like Snake, this doesn't really apply since he's a full mindgame character.

All I'm saying is that I think we can step up the combos a bit in Brawl if we try and think outside the box a little. There's definitely state playing style differences, I watch DBR matches or out of state matches and I see unique ideas all the time that aren't really pursued much in FL because though the masses play this game, it seems like everyone doubts its combo potential.

Thoughts?

I watched 7 combos from the video in the bottom link, and they didn't seem that great...

I know what you mean. Most of them were pretty useless to me, but there were a few that struck me and opened up new thoughts for Brawl for me.

edit: Actually what am I talking about this vid was released like right after Brawl was released lmao. This topic can be closed XD

Part 4 was put up three days ago...? Part 3 was put up a week ago...? Part 2 was put up three weeks ago...? Part 1 was put up a month ago...?

None of these were put up right after brawl was released. Parts 1 and 2 might be relatively old, but there's no way you can say that part 4 is ancient.
