The Zelda CCV Project - Editing Phase Started, Moving at a Very Slow Pace

Good day my fellow Zeldas! As some of you might already know, few people, myself included, started working on with a project to create a Zelda Community Combo Video, CCV for short. This is a thread dedicated for that project. Here's where gameplay clips for the video can be submitted, questions can be asked and opinions/suggestions can be given.

Here's a short explanation for those of you who don't know what a CCV really is, others can just skip this part. Essentially, a combo video is a collection of the best and most amazing kills and combos, edited to play along with some kind of background music. How a community combo video differs from a regular one is that it doesn't showcase the best moments of just one person, but everyone from the community in question. In this case means everyone who plays Zelda. It'll feature multiple players and bring together all the best moments experienced with Zelda, not just by one player, but everyone.

Now, with that done, here's where the fun starts: it's time to collect the material for the video! Here's the situation in a nutshell: in order to create an awesome combo video we need awesome Zelda clips. A lot of them. And where will we get these clips from? From the community itself of course! So, do YOU want to have YOUR Zelda and YOUR name show at the final product? If so then here's what you need to do:

The video has moved on to the editing phase. Gameplay clips are not accepted any more.


1. Find an interesting gameplay clip starring Zelda.

Obviously, the top priority is on succesfully landed combos and strings of hits. However, all other kinds of amazing or funny clips are also very much wanted. They can be anything from amazing DI survival to simultaneus spotdodge dancing to perfectly timed LK sweetspot to... well, pretty much anything at all, as long as it's amazing. Famous players or total nobodies, singles or doubles matches, it doesn't matter. The only rules are the following:

  • The match must be between human players. No computers involved.
  • All players must know the game and be playing at least semi-seriously. Nobody wants to watch Zelda juggle a person who doesn't know what airdodging is.
  • Offline matches only.
  • The situation must not be framed. Only real "combos" from real matches.
  • Regular Brawl only. Texture hacks are okay, but anything that changes the gameplay or the mechanics of the game is not. This also means no Brawl+, BBrawl, Brawl- or whatever other brawl hacks there is.
  • The picture quality must be at least decent. If you have the clip on your Wii and need help recording read on.

2. Submit the clip for us to use.

There are three way for you to do this:

  • Give a download link for the video you want to submit. Remember to mention the name of the Zelda player. Also, if the clip you want to submit is a part of a whole match mention the specific moment of the video you're suggesting.
  • Give a link to a youtube video with the clip. The same rules as above apply.
  • Send me a replay with the clip you want to submit. If you have a Brawl replay but no recording equipment I can capture it for you. This thread will telll you everything you need to know: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=266067. Just mention that it'll be for the combo video, tell me the name of the Zelda player and give some indication of the moment you want to submit (stock, precentage situation) and you're good to go!

3. It's done!

Now your clip will be taken into consideration when making the video! If the clip is found impressive enough it just might find its way into the final video. It really is that easy.

So, what are you waiting for? Start submitting those combos already! :)

Awesome, I want in on this.

Do vids have to be relatively recent, or can they be from any time.


I'll think on Title, and look for music later.

Thanks for the song suggestions, keep them coming everyone. Also keep thinking for the suitable titles so we can then vote which one to use.

Do vids have to be relatively recent, or can they be from any time.
Any time is fine, but the more recent are of course better. However, quality clips stay good even if they are a bit old.

OP is very good half-split.
Oh, that's good then.

Do I need to actually MAIN Zelda?

It's fine if you don't main Zelda, especially if you still use her frequently for low tiers or otherwise. The more videos we get the better.

I'm pretty sure AZNFinesse has already posted some of the crap that I showed him. lol
Yep, he already suggested one song. I'll post it here so others can listen to it too:

Yoink! Using that for Brawl, tyvm.

Here's some of the music I have on Brawl.... mostly Touhou remixes. I dunno if any of them fit Zelda/a combo vid (the Touhou ones in particular are probably a bit too hardcore), but whoever's making the vid can be the judge of that. I've seen people make some really unlikely music work, and I dunno how talented our editor is!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAD6bZBaV7k - A Tiny Tiny Clever Commander (Touhou)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXstOI1eh6E - Somewhere in the Sky (Touhou).... only parts of it -- the song changes pace a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8yWYGp89s8 - Hartmann's Youkai Girl (Touhou)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFPh5j2Y1hI - Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom (Touhou)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN5Fe5Foq8E - Greenwich in the Sky (Touhou).... I have another version, but I like this one slightly better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up1o0f-G7q8 - Red & Black (Bayonetta)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM3CY6X3byQ - Queen of Rose (Blazblue).... I only like parts of it for a combo vid, like @around 1:25ish.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkBDqDD6H4Q - If someone knows how to remove vocals, this song is legit. ;; I keep it on Smashville only because the dude's singing is a joke in my crew now, lol.

I REALLY resisted posting KH music/remixes, because I would've gone overboard. You're welcome for that. ;-;

I was waiting for someone to post Touhou music... The soundtracks of those games are so amazing it was inevitable. Which reminds me: try to avoid posting anything from Warner Music Group. It sucks, but they've been overly sensitive about copyright issues on youtube and pretty much every video using music from them has been muted or taken down before too long. So, sadly no Nightwish ;_;

I dunno how talented our editor is!
He is balls. Absolute garbage. But he'll still try his best.

Oh ! Interesting !
My CV is half finished (I think my editor (lol) will finish it in 2 or 3 week), I guess you'll can use some parts of it for the general Zelda CCV (but if you need replays now i can send you it now .__.)

And I don't have ideas for musics sorry D;

I generally throw Tsubaki's theme on Castle Siege.

Not that anyone notices though. No one counterpicks that stage. lol

I hate that! :mad: I have some really good music that only works on Castle Siege (or other underused CP stages), but since nobody plays on those stages, they never hear it.

The only CPs my crew will let me put on random are Frigate, Delfino, Halberd, and PS1. -_- I haven't played on RC or Brinstar in..... ****ing forever.

No one has given any suggestions for the name yet? Well, other than "shoes" anyway... come on people, don't be shy!

No, it's fine. The actual editing work won't be started in about a month or so anyway, so there's plenty of time for your CV to get done first.

So, you wanna play?
I actually have videos my brawl Zelda. My friend couldn't believe they were still on his hard drive, so I might actually have something to contribute sooner rather than later.

Okay, so I updated all those suggestions plus the one DarkMusician made in the social group.Check out either my previous post or the second post of this thread for the full list.

The final songs will be decided during the weekend, so tell me your opinions before Friday if you want them to be taken into consideration when selecting the songs. Friday is also the deadline for new suggestions.

Still accepting clips?

I could record the clips I have but the product will be really bad quality and look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAaQ0u9ppJ4 (obviously not the clip but an example of quality) and that quality shouldn't really be in a combo vid so yeaaaaah.

So the first clip I have is me Fair-ing a recovering Samus using FW canceling. & this was a really good samus.
then the next one is with me and a kirby, I spiked him with a sourspot, then followed up with a Back air that sweetspoted and stage spiked him. Not the best kirby in the world, but I was on the ropes for quite some time and turned it around.

If your not pressed for time, I have another one too, me spiking a luigi to the ground and then followin g up with a Foward air that KO'd him. This luigi was decent, but he SD last stock.

This is, of course, if you're still taking clips.

I'll definatly send in some clips if you'll accept me. I play a bit of Zelda on the side for friendlies / MMs, but I do have some nice footage available, and im more then capable of recording for myself aswell, would it matter to you if the clip is in 16:9?

If the clips are in 16:9, then that shows that you are man enough to play in widescreen.

I love it.
