All they are is clips of one person kicking a bunch of noobs in the [CENSORED]. Its just showing off. They don't teach anything at all. They're fun to watch but not to learn.

Umm... You know that your in most of the clips at Zmt's combo video? your kinda putting down.. yourself... Um anyways.. Combo videos teach you a few things atually. A dk combo video showed me how to do some teqs. A marth combo video showed me some things I could do with F-Air. There atually not that bad..

Combo vids help to an extent which is why i voted yes. Some combos u can replicate but some are just situational. And like its already been said combos are not what they were in melee.

They help me learn new AT's and edgeguarding that works often (such as a Pit arrow to make them airdodge, then follow with an f or bair punish) but overall. They don't really help, just entertainment.

Combo videos don't help at all in Brawl because of the fact that combos don't exist. Combo videos in any other vidjo game can help people lurn.

This coming from the person who can't spell learn? Combos do exist, and I don't see a f***ing combo in nintendogs.

I'll quote myself.

My quote isn't completely correct though....There ARE combos in brawl. However, they are very small. Really, it's stringing the opponent into a set of attacks that make brawl now. Watching combo videos are a help in using moves you might not use, or you can take it and twist it into something in your own fashion (granted you use it when the time is correct). You have to be able to quickly adapt to whatever your opponent will do to continue that string though.
