Decade and a half vet here. 4 and a half minute combo video and half the things I'm watching I've never seen executed before like this. Excellent fucking job Squid this one deserves all the praise
This is the best combo video I’ve ever seen. What a trip, to think this level of content is being made for a game over two decades old. Man, Melee is life.
Fav combo vid ever... hands down I don't know how you do it but your creativity is way beyond any other Falcon out there. I've never seen something like this before and I know for sure I'll see even more sick content from you in the future Keep it up bro!
All I’m going to say is if you keep up playing like that you’ll eventually become one of the greats. Absolutely unbelievable stuff, I already know that these videos are going to be a huge inspiration to new players love seeing you push the character and yourself to the limit.
the way you use teeter cancel shield drops is legitimately so fast and inventive. this is one of the best combo videos i've ever seen i've NEVER seen anybody do reverse 2nd hit of nair edgecancel into bair, either. exquisite i've watched this 10+ times so i'm just gonna compliment you more. using sh bair double jump waveland the way you do is super fucking good, holy shit. especially when you get a shield drop uair shield poke at 2:10. the fact you knew you could do an up air and still grab the edge at 0:41 is incredible. 3:54 your drift here is somehow perfect. also you have a knack for choosing very fitting pieces of music for your videos
One of the best combo videos of all time. Hall of fame stuff Absolute masterpiece of editing, song selection, and combos. 10/10 your best work yet. Holy smokes bro
I'm just going to say this before I watch this any further, the first combo in this video has already floored me. Seriously one of the most hidden gem channels I've found in recent years. Thank you STC. Love your content. :)
Pure whirlwind of technical precision, this is an absolute mind-boggler. STC always pushing racecar-man to his limits and then some. Keep it up, legend
This vid is another reminder that I'm glad I exist. Makes me want to do my part in making a world where everyone has the opportunity to see their own version of this beautiful thing. TLDR: ggs
I remember when I first saw NakeyJakey's "Captain Falcon: The Movie" almost five years ago. I was absolutely blown away by the concept of setting some of the most dynamic combos by one of the most hard hitting characters to a soundtrack. It just tapped into something that hit both an appreciation for sheer destruction and musical coordination for me. For years I touted it as the most satisfying collection of Falcon clips and had hoped a new standard of combo video had been set, one where these compilations weren't just a random hodgepodge of combos put to a song the creator happened to enjoy... This is probably the first video I have seen since then that has hit me in that same primal way. The creativity of these combos matched with a hypnotic song/beat, synced with what can only be described as editing artistry has culminated in one of the finest pieces of Melee content (though the word "content" hardly does it justice) I have seen to date. STC, holy crap man. Hope this video gets the recognition it deserves. Keep it up. Please.
that was so good holy moly, the editing, the single hit nairs, the knockback stacks, the fod stuff, that little jab on fox before the uair, there's too much to list it's all insane dude. Not sure what else to call this but art, A+ squid, this is a thing of beauty.
The great thing about having followed melee since the early 2010's is seeing how much players have improved in general. Modern combo vids look like TASes compared to clips from years ago. Awesome stuff.
I may or may not have watched this 5 or 6 times in a row and still don’t feel like I’ve fully grasped the insanity that are some of these combos. Fkn nuts dude
There was a period of time when I thought that melee combo videos were dying out. The sheer creativity and innovating you bring to the table has completely changed my mind. Love what you're doing man, keep it up!
Now that's QUALITY CONTENT BABY! Well everything is, but goddamn man, the levels you've grown 🤯 I've said it for almost two years, this cat is the next Zain. Don't sleep on it!
I think it has something to do with timing. If i do the jab too quickly sometimes kb stacking does do it’s thing, but if i wait a split second the knee hitstun is over and so it can reset
if you were not already one of the best combovideomakers already, this video really shows that you are one of the very best the game has ever seen. this was incredible. well done.
i just keep saying in my mind ... "no im not that bad at this game" and then realize i am that fucking bad at this game. What i aspire to do, the unnecessary is what i aim for. Squid you will forever be my favorite falcon.
It felt bad to break the awesome pacing you'd setup but I definitely needed to double back and watch some clips again just to make sure my eyes didn't lie. Easily the best combo vid I've seen, can't wait to see what you got cooking for next time.
idek how long ive been watching but ive been subscribed for an age and a half. so few melee clips ive seen are as well-executed or quintessentially melee as this. ill still b watching when u end up taking first at a supermajor, bc u def hav the skill required.
So many combos I've never seen before, absolutely amazing editing and attention to detail, this shit had me grinning ear to ear. Fantastic work, thank you for making this
One of the things that keeps me coming back to melee is watching people like stc who have a style so unique to them. You have a falcon unlike anyone else's, where endlag is for suckers
