Harmony: A Melee Combo Video - Ninji

[@ErazerPhazer]

8 years later this video still makes me emotional. I remember watching this shit in class and thinking how amazing the game was and looking back now it still is. Melee is not only just a game but a life style and if you know, you know.

[@TehLamp]

There is still so much more melee to be played

[@AZaxe]

EXCELLENT work! Loved every second of it

[@NinjiFX]

Thanks Jeff. See you at a weekly sometime

[@evilagram]

Man, it's so great to see a combo video like this after so many years. All the combo video makers died out, and it's sucked because we've gotten better combos than ever before. Keep it up!

[@swampyl]

yes

[@LWDIII]

This really takes me back to the days of Halo montages. Phenomenal music to match the play and editing that enhances what we're watching instead of overpowering the gameplay itself. This'll be a favorite of mine for years and years.

[@NinjiFX]

search "Halo 3 Origins" and you will notice something similar ;)

[@LWDIII]

you're not the boss of me but i'll do it anyway

[@Giraffinator]

Guys I fucking love Melee.

[@MCDMarsgodihatehandles]

It's nice to give yourself a reminder every now and then, isn't it? To just remember the hype that got you from your first tourney to wherever you are now

[@RonanSSB]

5 years later, can still say this is my favorite combo video ever. Thank you so much for making this and getting me into the game that changed my life.

[@Cyclishy]

this is easily my favorite combo video

[@KevyTrickshots]

Holy shit dude. You put a lot of work into this it looks really good.

[@kole076]

This is one of the best combo vids I've seen. Really love the unique editing style you have, great job!

[@SilentProtagonistSSB]

I'm gonna cry this was so beautiful. Loved the post processing and all the great effects. I know tons of hard work went into this! What's especially great is I saw most of these clips on live streams throughout the year. To see them all come together like this gives me an amazing video to share with friends so they can see how awesome the competitive scene is and how great of a game Melee is.

[@JayyDough]

This was really cool, the editing makes it look so epic. Not too distracting from the gameplay either, nice job man

[@yomedrath]

Good selection of clips, almost all combos were hype :) I also like your style of editing! Usualy bright flashes, slo-mo and all that jazz makes it really hard to follow combos, but you actually managed to highlight them. Well done!

[@Panning72]

Love the diversity in tournaments you used, I can really tell you pay close attention to the scene. Great work!

[@AATGClan]

loved the mango v leffen clip at 0:54. and the 5:40 clip with marth doing a reverse bair to reverse bair to dair is god like... i have to watch that clip twice every time to comprehend what i just saw hahahha

[@dehlayed3153]

Everything about this was perfect, song choices and effects, please make more will be looking forward to seeing more of this!

[@TheJoe8D]

Please make more content like this! I can tell much time was put into this video, and I really admire that. Much love for this

[@latinobacon]

One of the best post documentary combo videos pre 2020

[@KeitaroTime]

The editing was phenomenal. Love whatever color correction/softening effect you did, would appreciate it if you shared that tech. ;D I loved the song as well. -False

[@NinjiFX]

yoooo! My personal favorite editor in the smash community. Appreciate the comment. Also I used Reel Smart Motion Blur to give it that nice effect with magic bullet looks basic color correcting to leave it simple but also pleasant. Hmu sometime, I would love to edit 60fps smash 4 footage :)

[@KeitaroTime]

***** Add my skype please: zFalse

[@estebano74]

Nice video! I really appreciate the effort on the details, it really makes it a much better experience

[@HuebertEllowit-LOL]

That video editing was incredible!!! I really enjoyed this!

[@austintacious94]

Thank you for putting all these recent combos into one place, I'd love to donate if it'd help you make more. Top notch.

[@Subster]

i LOVE the editing done in this, terrific job my friend!!!

[@christopherzhou6610]

You, sir, have earned yourself another subscriber.

[@YuGiOhTerrorist]

this videos always give me the chills

[@mitchellcooper7590]

Great video! Would liked to have seen Bizzaro's DAir chains into UTilt kill at KoC4 against Strain. That was epic.

[@zvarasmash]

ill be honest this is still my favorite combo video

[@christopherzhou6610]

Damn, where would Smash be without Melee?

[@InamorastraStardustLucille]

I would argue that maybe some of these filters are a bit much, but motion blur manages to make anything look better. maybe I just don't know about how MB could give some people a hard time.

[@iEnjoyApplesauceVeryMuch]

best combo video of all time

[@mahkramsaile4732]

I feel like it's some sort of great honor for your combo to be the one featured during one of Ninji's beat drops, or for it to have some of those crazy special effects. If i ever got good enough to be on one of these vids i would have a great feast, inviting only the wealthiest and most powerful of people to celebrate my amazing triumph. And they would all come as soon as i said that some of my combos made it into Ninji's latest combo video. I would attempt to invite Ninji himself, but he would obviously be too busy making dat fuckin dolla bill, riding ALL the bitches, and pimpin a new combo video. T'would be a shame considering i had prepared his favorite egg-salad in honor of his arrival, only for it to be wasted on the President.

[@trifasia3]

Thank you ninji!, I miss this kind of videos :D

[@HappyAppleCider]

The best Melee combo vid I've seen so far. Really liked the effort you put into the editing. Admittedly having the main action shift around from the left to the middle of the screen from clip to clip is sort of immersion-breaking for me to watch, although I suppose there's not much you can do to help it besides the transitions you used. Also I don't know how you feel about including sound clips from commentators or the croud, but I personally really like it and I find it brings some hype to a vid. I don't know you prefer to do things, but I'd love to see more variation in the sound editing, since you've got the visuals so well covered!

[@JordanWHuff]

Great stuff man, Holy cow. Amazing.

[@MrNintendoSwag]

that was an insane edit great job man

[@FireAssasin]

Loved it! It needed some Fly Amanita, tho!

[@satchelsguitarshop]

5:41 should be flagged and highlighted to the fiery depths of hell and back ten thousand times.

[@JamesUssupi]

I love this video so much I keep coming back to it. The music is great! You're wonderful :)

[@1664MajorRaikov]

All of my love, forever

[@HdTyvek]

please make more videos like this, this video is awesome

[@MrStatical]

Love the music in this

[@MidniteZer0]

Absolutely Gorgeous

[@NarwhalTrainer7]

Awesome editing and great combos! Music was meh, but all is well.

[@dragonsouleater1119]

i'm only three minutes in and this is fucking amazing. thank you whoever made this.

[@NinjiFX]

you're welcome :)

[@DrizzyDrayg]

I love competitive smash.

[@saulvillagomez8305]

Thanks I loved it.

[@Skymonpro]

wheres kirby the top tier legend

[@dannytoomey86]

Does anyone know the specific remix of Sleep to Dream by Swimming with Dolphins that plays after the intro song? I love this old edit and this is was what originally turned me on to Swimming with Dolphins, but I see no reference to this specific remix of the song in the description.

[@hahaminenowo7]

too good.

[@apletree_]

thanks,great vid btw

[@kered13]

0:10 Let's go!

[@SuperBonk64]

You should add a link to the TourneyLocator channel in the description.

[@NinjiFX]

done, you're right

[@J_rolly.b]

I want motion wave effects in melee!

[@epicsim123]

The editing and music reminds me of CoD trickshot montages (like soartage or illcams)

[@NinjiFX]

search "SoaR Nnji" lolololol

[@epicsim123]

***** I've seen some of your shots they're sick btw

[@chasestivers7214]

That first song had to be by Fox Stevenson (Stan SB)

[@GenocidalToaster]

OLD STAN SB AYYY

[@wahmaster31]

whats the last song of this video? its really catchy for me

[@crossfaderage]

At 7:50, what does that text say that comes across the screen? I assume its something about PewPewU not finishing off Silent Wolf.

[@NinjiFX]

it says "Hold On" to the music to indicate the change in momentum between PPU's combo and SW's

[@gollumsk8]

amazing =)

[@xXxJAMMANxXx]

Second song please?

[@alexdobrogost9503]

jump delort?

[@Fleshyyyy]

fucking sick lad

[@marquisekelly5431]

I need your help

[@Lil_Homie]

What's the name of the 1st song? I love it so much :P

[@NinjiFX]

stan sb - tears in rain

[@Lil_Homie]

***** thank you!

[@TehKraaw]

Ninji.. :(

[@Zutnop92]

Nice shit. What is the name of the second song?

[@Itakio]

Song list?

[@xXxJAMMANxXx]

What's the second song?

[@apletree_]

whats the first song

[@NinjiFX]

+Silver 17 Stan SB - Tears in Rain

[@saucysasih]

Ninji, what do you use to edit? And where did you learn how to do all this (if you don't have a school background in video editing)? I love video editing, but I mostly edit pretty conservatively, and a lot of this is far beyond me. Just curious. =]

[@NinjiFX]

I used to do basic editing in cod and some halo

[@saucysasih]

Oops, sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant what kind of software do you use? Looking like there's some After Effects-esque kind of stuff here, just wondering. =] Were you self taught as well?

[@NinjiFX]

I had some basic guidance but a majority of the things I do come from self-taught concepts. I essentially only use after effects with the exception of some cinema 4d if need be. Also, sorry I misread your post initially haha.

[@jiogotshots]

if youre getting smash for 3ds lets play :)

[@NinjiFX]

Sure thing. I don't currently own a 3ds so I'll be mooching off my friends mwahaha!

[@jiogotshots]

haha nice, i got a refurbished 2ds from nintendo for 79.99 but like 80 with shipping. i got it just to play smash haha. even tho its refurbished or used nintendo fixes it up and its worth

[@7upjawa]

twas great but westballz vs s2j isnt the same without prog screaming onsense like THIS MAN WANTS HIS SPATULA BACK.

[@IRNatman]

Damn, I thought I was good because I own my cousins.. These guys would destroy me with one hand and a blindfold. :,(

[@FireandIceSSB]

You gotta start somewhere. If you put the effort in, there's no reason you can't be as good as these guys. :)

[@jamesnubz]

Fire and Ice SSB All it takes is a little hard work, and a love for the game.

[@zerohcrows]

You getting smash 4? and do you edit CoD anymore or are you doin this full time?

[@guitarskate613]

maylay4lyfe

[@NinjiFX]

I'm done with cod. I know way too much about the popular people and have learned how fake you have to be in order to become popular. I have always loved smash and this is my new home

[@zerohcrows]

***** YESS I can't wait to see you get big in the smash community! Who's your main? and what are trying to become a commentator or just like the first ever SSB editor? or just a player?

[@NinjiFX]

Nintendaz all of the above

[@zerohcrows]

***** Melee, Brawl (hehe), project m, or smash 4?

[@LoganSSBM]

loved the editing but the song wasn't fitting

[@JaneViolet_]

Good clips, but some seriously obnoxious editing. The fuck is up with all these filters?

[@TownesBuford]

first

[@lilgohan]

Good clips, but I really wasn't feeling the music.

[@PMDepot]

Exactly, this specific genre of songs adds nothing to videos

[@NTAOChangeOfHeart]

Oh, let me guess? Some hip hop? Imo.

[@lilgohan]

***** I'd prefer indie, probably. Just anything but this mindless dnb.

[@NTAOChangeOfHeart]

yung latios Uh uh, in other words (profanity songs that describe you're the stuff). I'd take this music other than morn type of music.

[@lilgohan]

***** Is English your first language? Because that didn't really make sense.

[@NeoAnguiano]

good vid... bad music

[@dukemydogy]

song names?

[@NinjiFX]

Stan SB - Tears in Rain Swimming with Dolphins (Klaypex) - Sleep to Dream Tame Impala - Feels Like We Only Go Backwards Lazee ft. Neverstore - Hold On (Matrix and Futurebound Remix)

[@dukemydogy]

***** Thanks, where can I find songs similar to Lazee ft. Neverstore - Hold On (Matrix and FUturebound Remix), I like songs like that. the others not so much. Which type of music is it? Thanks.

[@NinjiFX]

dukemydogy It's a DnB song meaning it has a deeper focus to drum beats and bass. I recommend looking for DnB based music channels. Some artist include feint, matrix and futurebound, etc. Good luck
