Smash Vods: A New Way to Search Replays

Struggling with a match-up? Having a hard time looking for replays? SmashVods, a newly released website, might just be what you need.

Smash Vods Super Smash Bros. Melee Character Selection​

SmashVods uses YouTube API (Application Programming Interface) data to scour through various channels and organize videos from said channels based on their titles. Using the website, users can search for replays of specific characters from the games supported by it. Compatible games include the entire Super Smash Bros. series, Pokken Tournament and Rivals of Aether.

Relative to vods.co, Smash Vods takes the quantity over quality approach. In doing so, this approach allows smaller channels to get a bit more attention, and offers a broader range of character matchups alongside their specialists playing style.

Authors Note: SmashVods is an easy to use website and is a perfect database for references for the competitive player. Do you see yourself using SmashVods in the future for that struggling match-up? Share your thoughts about this in the comments section below.

 

This is amazing, period.

 

Why. Why has no one thought of this before.

 

This makes things a whole lot easier.

 

What about brawl.

 

What about brawl.

Only active games :/

 

This is really good, thank you!

 

Yesyesyesyesyes!

 

Vods.co beat this to the punch by at least two years and is really prompt about major events getting updated quickly. Might be worth mentioning as well.

 

This is Awesome. Will it also look up foreign character names as well. So for example Rosalina + Luma it would also look up Rosetta + Chico etc.

 

Well, isn't this going to be a great resource for new Smashers. I'm maining that time-space queen this year. I just now visited that site and find the archives pretty invaluable to help me learn her.

I'll tell you what, it feels like I won't have to search Google for matchup videos any longer.

certainly glad to know the site is willing to cater to more than just its target audience, having recently decided to dabble with RoA myself, it might make for some good insight in the event I want to compete in it now and then.

it would also be good for newcomers to Pokken, since if the entire cast has their share of videos, then it can demonstrate to them what each Pokemon can do with practice.

 

This is amazing. Time to study matchups, etc.

 

How does it rank videos? Based on views, channel, or general SEO strategies? I'd love to learn more about this website.
