Greatest Smash 64 Combo Contest Combos

I would love if everyone had a chance to do something like this after the tournaments are over, to turn over any salty feelings and emotions that might linger on and better build a sense of solidarity and unity within the smash community.

@Shadow Knight lol i love how you can even tell the cultural differences in the combos. I noticed the Japanese players usually had more technical combos while the Americans went for the raw hype combos

[@zzzzzzzoooorrrroroooo]

Angel Castillo i noticed the americans actually went for the true combos whiles the japanese went for the really cool insane combos with items and cool moves

[@yehhew8951]

my favorite part is how he resets after not getting it and nails it next attempt

[@kennethzheng3735]

Angel Castillo I feel like it is the opposite. Americans go for the true combos that are technical with some items, like tacos and alvin, Japanese go for hype and rely much more on the items they use and stage rather than their own moves, mainly it is just kysk who only rarely uses items in some of the combos

[@a_perfect_human_being]

Angel Castillo I gotta agree. The Japanese don’t go for flare. It’s a lot of tightness, efficiency, and nuance. Makes sense. Seems like the Americans go for more broad strokes and visuals. Really shows the difference between a super developed culture and a young culture.

[@user-to4on4rt6y]

5:04 the best reaction

[@Deeslav]

Contestants: cures cancer along with performing the most technical combo Judges: Yeah that's a 9 from me dawg

[@acquiescinit]

I felt like they gave out too many 10s. You can't just give out a 10 because a combo is impressive. 10 is the highest possible score, so it should be given to combos where you can comfortably say that nothing should be able to get more points. Imo only 2-3 maaybe 4 were 10s.

[@Skywardtoast]

Bruh this is top comment I laughed too hard at this no cap

[@Illidandavid]

@@acquiescinit What these highlight reels often leave out due to being rather time-constrained, are the struggles and hustle the chaps put in. Sometimes watching the contestants glorious perform some of these on their tenth and or final try can be super satisfying to see. Smash 64 contests are some of the few feature film long yt exclusives that I would comfortably sit down watching blind.

[@RlyOverBored]

@@acquiescinit I know it was months ago but if everyone was strict, u would score a max of 45. There are few combos that are worthy of 48-49 points where its like "The combo was really really nice but...". To balance it out, u need like 1-2 fair but strict judges that seriously play the game like Boom and Isai (the hard critics u really gotta impress). 2 fair judges for the general viewer (the average or neutral critic that u must exceed normal expectations to receive a 10). And 1 wildcard that understands hype (the guy that will most likely give u a 10). Its always like this, just look at the NBA slam dunk contest.

[@StarPointy]

Why are Smash combos so satisfying

[@FATE522]

Because they are

[@DrPumpkinz]

Probably because there's a lot of movement. Most combos in traditional fighting games involve one character wailing on the other while staying mostly still. The technical prowess can be impressive, and flashy animations can make it look snazzy, but it's still mostly stationary. In Smash combos, and especially in Smash 64 combos, and _especially_ in Smash 64 combo contest combos, it's much more dynamic. Characters and projectiles are darting around the screen every which way, and it comes across as less of a beat down and more of a frantic Rube Goldberg of pain.
