Sometimes I forget how long I have been a forum member, so I talk about things as if they are common knowledge, but people raise their eyebrow and say, “Huh?” So, say hello to <strong>SuperDoodleMan</strong>! He takes a rather unique approach to video-making. I mentioned him in last week’s episode of Show Me Your News, and I received the what-the-heck-are-you-talking-about reaction.
SuperDoodleMan played a huge role in introducing smashers to the concept of frame-by-frame analysis. Using primarily Action Replay, he would tweak the game to allow for some wacky occurrences. His videos feature everything from playing GigaBowser to having a normal match on the homerun stadium. The first big video that caught people’s attention was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdUeaC7M3oo">Perfect Control</a>. Basically, SuperDoodleMan features various characters executing humanly impossible techniques. Some simply feature visual entertainment (such as several Yoshis tossing eggs from a ledge). Others demonstrate awesome effectiveness (uber effective in competitive situations despite being impractical). SDM later put out a sequel, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9sa8133NBI">Perfect Control 2</a>. Be sure to also see <a href="http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=86806">Zero Mercy</a>.
These projects later spawned the idea to see what it would be like to have Fox conquer Adventure Mode on Very Hard with 1 stock all while taking no damage. It is a much longer video but definitely worth the watch. It is simply entitled <a href="http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=64340">Adventure</a>. This further inspired SDM to take up storytelling, so he also created <a href="http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=78690">The Wrath of GigaBowser</a>, a fascinating story about Bowser taking over the world of smash.
I hope to see more projects like this when Brawl comes out. Competition is fun, but just having fun with the characters also produces spectacular results.
PS - School kept me busy up until yesterday. Pardon the week gaps between episodes.
