    This feels like a full circle moment. I started watching you pretty much 10 years ago for your tutorials, you made some Mickey tutorials and back then you seemed like a massive fan of his. I find this video very well explained, I love how you keep getting better and better at UA-cam! You put a recent yoyo history topic and made it likeable for non-yoyoers and yoyoers alike.
    I must add as well that a lot of people seem to think Angelo became "good" at speed combos in 2020, but what they are missing here is that he has been this fast since at least 2015. I remember a story from Gentry back from when Angelo was in the "Shutter Crew" (2016?2017?) where he did a very similar fast combo at an already insane speed. He has worked his ass off since before 2012 (when he was awarded best US junior player) and people still seem to believe Angelo "got lucky". He might have been a bit lucky that tiktok algorithm picked up his content back in 2020 (when, by the way, he was doing content non-stop), but he has played his cards right and marketed everything in a way that is now recognizable from afar. Yes, godspeed isn't really a thing in yoyoing, but in this day and age when I think of speed combo Angelo pops up in my mind -even if he isn't the creator of this type of tricks, just an insanely fast player. Props to him for his hard work.

    What a blast fron the past. I can remember watching Hiroyuki Suzuki videos maybe early to mid 2000s when I was in elementary school and interested in yoyos and diablos. Didn't know the routine was called Godspeed, but when that opening clip started, I knew I've seen that movement somewhere.
    Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

    Great vid Brandon, very informative. Also one thing I noticed which may or may not be true but Angelo's rail combo uses relatively simpler rail elements as compared to people like Jason Liu or Shion, which helps him go faster. Also his combo incorporates a lot of hits which make the combo look faster than it is.

    I used to compete back in 1999 with some miscellaneous titles and sponsors (Yomega, Team Losi, 11th 1A Nationals, unofficial "Fastest 2H Looper" at Golden Apple), and also actually taught Jason Lee at my local shop, and this stuff would have looked like witchcraft to us back then.
