@@letmecommentalready No. It's just that boomfan and isai are the only judges that mainly only play 64, which means they are gonna be less easily impressed than the melee and ultimate players.
I don't think a 10 should be common! A 10 is like "you can't improve on this, it's the best this combo can be" and I don't think we see many of those. I'm all for strict judges!
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.

@@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.
@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
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
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
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.
Dude, I LOVE that this is a thing that happens. It's competitive, yet, cooperative in a sense. Above all, it is creative and fosters a spirit of friendship and camaraderie in a way that salty 1v1s never could. 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.
I used to play with him on l4d2 all the time. Sometimes we would play smash 64 via hamachi but back then it was toooo laggy for my tastes lol. I have him in one of my vids from back in 2011 where he does the commentary for me dodging tanks. its kinda funny. sometimes we would change our names but in this vid he's : ElectricLuv ua-cam.com/video/7KZU2TbF850/v-deo.html
Man..... I know the perfect 50 was fucking hype and it truly was, a pure mastery of Pikachu, but god damn nothing beats that 5 lava pong at 5:00 for me. Truly the best combo that has ever been. Can't wait for the next combo contest.
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.
God damn this is sick. Highlight videos are my favorite type of random videos to watch cause even if you never cared about something before you watch the video, seeing people be crazy good at something is always fun to see
Thank you so much for making this. Every time I want to see one of these combos I have to find the old combo contest videos, go into the comments, and find the timestamps. Nice to have them all in one place. My absolute favorite event.
Prince is just like "Silly Americans, I haven't even showed them my true power" Edited: I like how UA-cam tells me someone liked my comment, and the last time I seen it, it had 4 likes on it
i think my absolute favorite moment was at 5:25 when he walks off and the crowd gives him an additional applause and there's the bouncer dudes on the side poppin off with him
Never watched any of these and tbh some of the combos look sick and all, but people are so hype for this. Like I wanna be there just to cheer and jump with everyone when someone pops off
WHO in their right mind would dislike amazing combos on a smash channel... great upload, as always! Edit: The judges' facial expressions are AWESOME. You know if somebody that smashes 40+ hours a week, for decades, is losing their minds, you are witnessing some incredibly impressing and creative stuff!
The thing I prefer with 64 combo contest is seeing how the craziness of the combos evolved throughout the years, the full videos are worth watching but watch them from the oldest to the latest :)
Something about this game in particular blew my mind as a kid. Seeing these characters interact...felt unreal. Words can’t do it justice. (Loved playing Pikachu and Link!)
Ernie Gang “For some reason” I know a majority of the community are p chill as I attend weeklies, but some people take the game way too seriously to the point where they become toxic online. Just an idea.

I honestly thought this combo was left out when reaching this point. Not disappointed!
Yeah that was crazy to damage himself to 120 then use motion sensor bomb and di to roll out left and keep his momentum lol
The momentum exploit was truly insane.
And of course by prince
