SSBM Shined Blind

[jaapsneep1]

A thief or not, the skill is legit.

[SSBCarlosA2]

Legendario!!!



[FlamedNightmare]

What's the song @:30 seconds?

[noface181]

i fuckin love that shield

[whyteck]

@noface181 c'est claire *_*

[THE12thSanitarium]

what is the intro song?

[exorthesword]

@THE12thSanitarium Intro song is Deeply disturbed by Infected Mushroom

[THE12thSanitarium]

@exorthesword thanks man, been trying to find this song for a long time

[Jesse110]

The legendary combo video

[Blitzkriegexe1]

I came here for the song.

[ganondorffromhell]

What are they doing now? what happened to DBR?

[SparkSSBM]

@ganondorffromhell They ran Genesis2. Zelgadis almost stole 6,000 away from the pot at Genesis2.

[alexhackett93]

thats just crazy timing

[cabooses1fan]

ah i love melee,  if you ask me melee>brawl.

[ShortMindedTV]

im sorry what exactly happened with zelgadis? if you could pm me or comment id like to know

[GCLU]

@ShortMindedTV

I don't really want to talk about it too much...but look up A Solemn moment for DBR and the Melee Community on google. (It should be a smashboards link by The King.

[chred2akrisp]

@GCLU man, after reading that, i don't get why people are comparing plank to zel. Zel literally looked at the money, and went hey, I want this, no one will be the wiser, and attempted to lie about it. Plank made a bad finance decision, and the "stolen" money was paid to the venue because cheapass smashers crammed nine people to a room in the hotel. Plank didn't profit a cent off of the business, nor was it done with malicious intent, and he publicly apologized to the community about it

[GCLU]

@chred2akrisp

I agree with you about that also. I do find that Plank was chastised a little too much for what he did. What is kinda ironic is that some people were paid there (The brawl amateur bracket of all things)

[chred2akrisp]

@GCLU That was because the amateur brackets were paid for at the venue, so the cash never went through the same process the rest did. My friend laijin won the melee amateur bracket, and therefore made the most profit of anyone at PV lol ($200+change)

[tremain07]

Video is so good i would pay $6,000 to learn how to play like that.

[maybe106]

@TRLahti It's terrible that I laughed at that..

[wabitgirl]

@maybe106 Kinda, yeah. I mean, it'll be funnier in time, but I think some people are still finding it really hard to take.

[maybe106]

@wabitgirl Yeah...I didn't know him personally cause I can only go to locals, but he was a huge part in me trying fox/sheik (Great characters to play even though majority think sheik blows.). I was a bit shocked when I heard the news though.

[wabitgirl]

@maybe106 always used blue Fox, probably still will, to honor Zelgadis, because he was the one who made me want to take my Fox to the next level... I think that that other dude is right. We should remember Zelgadis, and differentiate him from Trebor, the man who stole 6k from DBR and lied to his friends. This is Zelgadis; pure, unadulterated shine rape.

[Mansonfan510]

what is the name of the song at 1:50? :o

[TheCreativeMedia2011]

2:01 dat aimbot so sexy.

[Kukzzzz]

Props to DBR for holding genesis together after Zelgadis did what he did. Sad story.. :/

[goatseman5000]

Robbed Blind

[SonOfMana100]

Looks like Mango was watching this before Genesis 2...

[SonOfMana100]

@TRLahti I would say that's insensitive, but it's really funny.

[ShadowPhoenix56666]

@TRLahti LMFAO dont listen to the other people that joke was awesome

[Saiha123]

Now I'm gonna think of this dick whenever I watch The Slayers... Bah.

[AncientTyrant]

Let's separate Zelgadis from Trebor Scherer (his real name). Criminal or not, anyone can and should respect Zelgadis the SSBM player for his skill and influence to the game. Whether his character and actions are at the same level IRL is a different issue. Just my two cents.

[wabitgirl]

@AncientTyrant I really hope this comment ends up on top.

[drsusredfish]

this is like a memorial vid for zelgadis's dead smash career

[CloneHat]

Why all the views all of a sudden? It's almost like they've been stolen.

[RoyalViolin]

@xAfterDawnx You seemed to have missed CloneHat's sarcasm :3

Key phrase: "It's almost like they've been STOLEN."

[xAfterDawnx]

@RoyalViolin I posted that at 4 am LOL hush :(

[Dext3rMexico]

Jailgadis !!

[MikeLennox]

SHINED DOUCHE

[jr571]

Condolences to DBR =C Luckily they can't be shinespiked - they've got that quartercircle financial DI. Keep it strong, guys. 

[SparkSSBM]

@TRLahti Rape

[1ruroken]

@TRLahti You're going to get flamed for that comment. but don't sweat it. It was a rape joke.

[louman7777777]

@TRLahti That's not funny, especially so soon.

[commonyoshi]

This will never be the same... :(

[Forteoverload]

There goes another game to tournies...... :(

[ruhtraeel]

I'm finally catching up to pre-2004 Zelgadis

[KingOfKatamari]

6:03 was incredible timing.

[TaisakuSangeki]

the beginning song is Infected Mushroom - Deeply Disturbed (Infected Remix)

[Terrdemarzielle]

who arranged/mixed the music? It's sooo good

[Ilyak1986]

@Terrdemarzielle DBR themselves. That first track is in fact a custom-made track. I forget which member of DBR does it but...that's what I believe is the case IIRC.

[Terrdemarzielle]

@Ilyak1986 Thank you!

[AureolaFE]

this is the epitome of classic

[wabitgirl]

Zelgadis spells fuck you s-h-i-n-e

[SparkSSBM]

@99XiNUZ there are dude :D infact your from the same place as THE best sheik main right now. there are probably some tournaments around you.

[wabitgirl]

@SparkSSBM Who is the best Sheik main these days? Amsha or M2K?

[SparkSSBM]

@wabitgirl im pretty sure m2k is a marth main

[wabitgirl]

@SparkSSBM Last I heard, he'd transitioned to Sheik...

[GCLU]

@wabitgirl

You are right that he is a sheik main. Best Sheik is Amsah (if Europeans are included Amsah>M2K,) him, Tope (the other top East Coast sheik,) and Lucien (best West Coast sheik).

[SparkSSBM]

@GCLU dont forget about KirbyKaze :P

[picknicker1990]

@99XiNUZ

actually, there are Melee tournaments regularly. just check smashboards.

[Nesninja85]

Wow, the drillshines were a little slower than I've seen before, but your shinedashing is damn near frame perfect.

[brenofoda123]

@MetalnoDensetsu found it, thanks.

[YoungRezee]

I had to wear sun shades to watch this

[brenofoda123]

SONG NAME???????

[BDtetra]

1:50 is my favorite part

[jetfour07]

This is a better video than Perfect Dark.

[Joe3junk]

@jetfour07 naaa the tech skill in perfect dark is too good, but you gotta remember this is more than 4 years old, and its still awesome!

[Kadano1]

impressive video ... but good falco players sweetspot the side b

[superDEROB15]

does Zelgadis play any more? did he retire?

[PocketAces1796]

@superDEROB15 he still plays....... thank god

[LololollolJAPMANSoi]

After watching this video again, I realized the last combo in the video is the famed Silent wolf combo.

[treborjscherer]

@LololollolJAPMANSoi Cept I did it, and most other things fox's do, first. <3 silent wolf, but even he knows it. Plus I invented the moonwalk with fox and the rest of the characters, not Silent wolf. Once again, <3 silent wolf and my washington homies, but even otto and shane will attest to this lol. Roots mofo hahah

[treborjscherer]

@treborjscherer i'd like to add i didnt actually "invent" moonwalking of any kind, just figured out how to do it with fox, marth, etc etc first. at least i think so... but it was def before otto came out with zelghandi, which was rape.

[LololollolJAPMANSoi]

@treborjscherer Nigga I didn't say shit about roots. What are you rolling about. Moonwalking with all characters have been known about since 2006 so I don't know if you invented, nor do I care.

Also I was commenting about the combo at the end cause this is a really old video, and low and behold 2(3?) years later the same combo brought half the video hype for Otto. I'm hating or anything I was just making a mention.

[SWEDENshufflers]

When was this video actually created?

[lasko95]

i liked so much how melee was, if they make one after brawl i hope they go back to how this one felt

[Nightshine0]

It's great to look back at how the competitive scene has grown ya know? Looking at the differences and the changes in skill level is fun XD

[972PnutWarrior279]

At 5:06 there is a little wave thing!

[xxironwingxx]

omg i remember these guys. i remember their opening pictures. when i was young i used to be scared of them. where can i upload them on my computers

[254PnutWarrior452]

What is the name of the song? (Fox remix song)

[maybe106]

This combo video has convinced me to main fox instead of falco

[zBiyte]

かかってこい！

HIYAA!

[zevex747]

this entire video is extremely epic.

[zevex747]

this guy has epic timing skills to be able to reflector falco/fox's side-B

[seaweedsupper]

this song is LOLtastic

[llShotzII]

too bad bombsoldier would destroy this fox if he was playing falco.

[ruhtraeel]

@llShotzII

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

First off, Bombsoldier rarely ever plays anymore, so it wouldn't be fair. Secondly, this was freaking Zelgadis in 2006. Thirdly, Bombsoldier would get absolutely wrecked by a lot of smashers today. IE. Mango, M2K, Armada, Amsah, Zhu, Dr. PP, Silentspectre, DaShizWiz, Hungrybox; basically anyone.

[SmashSpencer]

@ruhtraeel Actually to help solidify your point even further, this was Zelgadis in like 2003/2004. This video is a lot older than it shows because YouTube wasn't around when this was first posted and was just posted on DC++(the hub). Shined Blind overall probably has like 300-500,000 views, more than any other out there =P

[ruhtraeel]

@SmashSpencer

Except for Wombo Combo. Obviously :-p

[MichaeldbLinton]

when are they going to make the gamecube virtual console ffs

[sdmitch16]

@MichaeldbLinton They come out with Wii Remakes of pop. GCN titles with upgraded graphics and Wiimote only controls. SSB is a history of Nintendo. I don't think they'll make a remake. They probably consider us nerds, but those fools are missing out on selling 8 million copies Melee again.

[kr1spness]

Sakurai said melee was 13 months of his life and his master piece. This was like 3 months ago, but Wii can still play GCN games and if they upgraded anything it could change a lot of things which the competitive scene would look down on, having to start metagame all over might as well make a sequel. They can always emulate it, not change a thing, I hope they do that in 10 years or so to keep the game alive, who wants to have to dust off old GCNs every time a tourney rolls around.

[sdmitch16]

@kr1spness Melee looks weird in progressive on the Wii. My friend insist on HD cables even though the Wii is 480

[Noobcube88]

Note: Many people were shined in the making of this video

[smashfox96]

0:23 is awesome, Fox Remix. Must. Download. This vid goes from freakin shining to dashdancing to shining, KOing, then back to shining! Shine is awesome in Melee, without a doubt

[DevantOne]

Such an epic video.

Although there was a few times you could've phantasmed which would've looked sweet. =)

[GhostWoof]

I feel like such an idiot saying this but,

wHERRE Doo You GEttt TeH SonG PL0XX??

[MrTufflong]

good times with this game. Fox, i still hate you...

[sdmitch16]

6:41 How did Fox get up so fast?

[kamsalad]

@sdmitch16 shine => waveland onto the stage

[sdmitch16]

@sdmitch16 Holy cow! Fox was turned around for a sec before he up-smashed.

[GTGtkm]

when i see this video i think in play melee again i and meke my fox a this lv again

[XboXFTW1]

Definition: Zeldadis - Shined to death.

[Mitchp0wnzU]

fucking love the song. :D

[Nightrazr]

Fucking love Zelgadis' theme, this vid also made me use Fox.

[CyberMadnessEX]

How 6:03 is so timed in is amazing.

[Quietpower99]

A Fox that combos without the shine is like a Falco that combos without a Dair.

[bennyraymond333]

0:25 / 3:31 (G force fox) that the name of the song

[alltzy]

nice playing with dr. mario 3:20

[goateau]

2:18-2:25 still the best part imo

[RockLobsta23]

@goateau pretty much. First time I saw that, I didnt really know advanced techniques or anything, and was like :0 :0 :0 :0

[Rofl106]

@goateau really badass recovery it was

[aznpeter]

whats the song in the very beginning? before zelgadis

[suliman101]

@aznpeter deeply disturbed by infected mushroom

[aznpeter]

@suliman101 LOL

[Quest19882k2]

soooooooo good. zelgadis theme nigguhhh

[Travelsbyshfflc]

LOL

I like the singing Fox

HI-YAH hiyah hiyah Hiyah ya ya ya yaaaaoooo...!

[crazykillerpanda63]

2:01 get 3shot'd

[rhrp25]

 Nice Fox

[GhostWoof]

Lol there so many comments saying "What just Happened at 0:00" and " I didn't know you can do that!" and "Can I download the First Song?"

[frontman605]

LOL @ 3:20 FOOLED YOU!

[TheLaughingMan42]

What exactly happened at 4:20 ?

[skidd16]

@TheLaughingMan42 The Falco went for a spike, Zelgadis teched it, firefoxed to the edge and shine spiked the Falco.

[TheLaughingMan42]

@skidd16 Geez that's sick. I didn't even know you could edge tech falco's spike.

[StupidMindFactory]

nice one

there´s some gr8 mindgaming in it

[RedtheGhost]

Man, this is like the one video that got more people into Melee than anything else. I don't even play Fox and this got me into Melee. But the funny thing is it's not even a super technical fox or anything. It's just a well-made video.

Looking back, man. This used to be the most impressive thing in existence.

[BulkyVendor]

@RedtheGhost Didn't DBR just sandbag against each other to make themselves look cool?

[RedtheGhost]

@BulkyVendor Nah, dude, they just made cool videos. All combo videos are pretty dumb and one-sided; that's not really the point. Shined Blind was probably just the one video that got more players into competitive smash than any other. Just really impressive when you're new to the game.

[LaGERMsDY]

@BulkyVendor R u kidding or being for real right now?!?!!?!?

[banyah87]

To be fair, my respect and appreciation for this video hasn't changed upon learning about what Zelgadis did. His crime was terrible, but it occurred today in 2011, not back in '06. My opinion on Trebor has significantly lowered, but that doesn't mean this video's status as a classic should be tainted along with this.

These DBR videos got me into smash on a competitive level. Had I not seen them, I wouldn't be playing melee today. I'd probably be a lame Brawl player satisfied with tripping.

[RedtheGhost]

@banyah87 The comment you replied to was made a while ago, so it only had to do with the quality of play in the video, not what happened at Genesis 2. I agree that it doesn't affect the legacy of his videos, though.

[SSBMeta2]

@banyah87 this was before 2006 man, this was 2005. this was before youtube!

[Zehloff]

3:09 doesn't have a chance.

[deVall3y]

lol the zelgadis theme is so amazing. DBR were so good at making videos

[ClementonTyrer]

I saw the compilation of this video in google video when it was first uploaded. It lasted 45 min, and it showed every combo video of every memeber in DBR...DBR Evolution. The thing is that in the credits in the final part, it was dedicated to a memeber of DBR that died when making the video i think (if im not wrong, if i am please correct me). Wasn't he Sweetness?

[Foxboy116]

:D whats the name of that song? the first one?

[Lib3r4t3]

I could watch 3:18 over and over!

[AssassinofAnarchy]

holy fuck that music made me jizz

[tintinnabulated]

The Germ sucks

[SwastikaPyle]

you should release a high quality version

[doggystyle040]

ssbm best game

[GTGtkm]

still nice combo video and this is what brawl cant do ...........

[HighSchoolJim]

2:20- Ganondorf's dair triggers the most badass part of the Zelgadis theme.

[KurtAngle01]

Nothing like old school Smash to keep the hype up today. Zelgadis.<3 =D Btw, I know this is a bit off topic..but who exactly was "The Sweetness"? I see him in the intro the combo videos of DBR but..I don't know of him, is there anywhere I can look to find info on him or someone could inform me..lol.

[zeroclod]

@KurtAngle01 I believe he was an older member of DBR. Mained Falco but he quit for some reason iono

[Puuh13]

6:41 is so fucking sick

[GhostWoof]

D.B.R= Death By Rape

[MOONDOGGIESWTF]

where can i get the first song =/ ?

[MattMcSteen]

3:20 is slick.

[TravisSaysGG]

@MattMcSteen I couldn't even tell what the hell he did at 3:20....

[GhostWoof]

He fakes the other guy out by running away and then blitzing. At least that's what it looked like...

[TravisSaysGG]

@GhostWoof It's so fast. lol

[TaiboloVince]

This video makes zelgadis look invincible, but if you watch all the other guys videos, you'll think different

[Ka0star]

Kickin it old skool

[DarkSonicSpear]

bringing it back to 06!

I like the part where he shined.

:p

[marcelthebomb]

Dayum, these clips are old.

=P

[5onicFighter]

I think Zelgadis picked up Sheik now. Still plays Fox every now and then though.

[1cometfactor]

He Has SKills But

All He Does IS The Deflector

He Could Be goood At That but Uskc At Everything

[haakkuu12]

Have you read the title?

It is "Shined Blind", the title should tell you that that is what he is going to do.

Use the reflector.

[ilovenuts]

@1cometfactor

Do you feel smart for pointing out a video titled "Shined Blind" involves shines?

[yoyomomma112213]

he just makes it look so easy :[

[robofish500]

2:02 was amazing with the gun

[LiangRome]

didn't know other people knew about the art of losing

[MilesWC7]

a shine gimp at the beginning of a game can really devastate your opponent :D love it

[jxw6762]

this is really amazing if you consider the fact that al these clips were made in 2006 or earlier

[Kamikuru77]

Pro Fox Is Pro!

[MercuryClock]

The human hands and the Nintendo Gamecube controller were not designed for waveshining to be that easy. D:

[magicalsauce]

how to play fox in doubles

[cagones13]

the end it's so cool :)

what song did you used at 0:25-3:32 ??
