What should we call them?

[LoganW]

OK, so as most of you are aware "combo" is not really a term to be tossed around in brawl as 99% of these "combos" are escapable and it's really kind of a joke. This is going back to sw's thread on why a brawl combo section even exists:http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=250230

We should come up with a new name for "combo" videos and change the name to something like highlight video. People will stop trolling about brawl being pitifully bad and combos being a joke and we should make a new name for them.

So what do you guys think they should be called?

How about: A Brawl String of Hits Thanks to Mindgames Video.
Or, Brawl Combo Video. C.Falcon approved the name of the video this time.

seriously, get over it. :/

makes more sense than brawl combo video. I'll put in in the suggested names, good idea.

 

[Zankoku]

Pretty sure Highlights Vid is the most commonly used for those who actually respect terminology.

 

[LoganW]

thank you I think highlight should be the new word but I want to hear other people's suggestions.

These are pseudo combos. What's wrong pseudo combos then? Why not count them as combos?

because they aren't

 

[CRASHiC]

because they aren't

except they are pseudo combos. Do you know what that means?

From wikipedia:The prefix pseudo (from Greek ψευδής "lying, false") is used to mark something as false, fraudulent, or pretending to be something it is not:

Why should we call them combos?

 

[CRASHiC]

Because in fighting games, a pseudo combo means a combo that is the result of a mind game.

A chain grab is to a tech chase as a combo is to a pseudo combo.

Can't we just call it highlight video? There are not true combos. There isn't any hit-stun

 

[CRASHiC]

But they still fall under the jurisdiction of a Pseudo combo. Which can be included in a traditional combo video. I can show you a Guilty Gear combo video and point to a specific moment when a Dizzy does something that is not a true combo, but a pseudo combo by mind gaming her opponent, which she must do as she has the worst combo potential in the entire game.

 

[LoganW]

pseudo combos are in melee combo videos but they at least have real combos too

 

[MRGAY]

Sounds like a lotta qq without any videos.

Highlights if you have to...
But imo, people should just get over it. Who really cares? Does it make a difference whether you're watching a "combo" video or a "highlight" video?

 

[ddonaldo]

agreed, cant believe this is actually a thread
Next we'll start crying about how "y" should not ever be called a vowel.
The internet is funny

 

[:mad:]

Guys, this is LoganW we're talking about. He'll do everything in his power to bash Brawl so he can gain the smallest bit of respect from the Melee boards. Or something.

Not sure why he insists on trolling, but it's his own time.

^ What he said

 

[Zankoku]

Because in fighting games, a pseudo combo means a combo that is the result of a mind game.

I'm pretty sure we call that a "mind game" or, in Melty's case, a "reset."

 

[Seton]

"No melee scrubs combo video section" for example.

I just got back from holiday which is why I'm slow

Pointless thread I think needs to be locked.
