This was 2 years in the making. Took awhile to get all the clips together for my final combo vid.

First want to thank Dragonforce for the song and for being so cool to let us use it without a copyright strike!

You guys are awesome! Here is the full song in case anyone wanted it.

On July 12th, 2023 Smash History was made. I finally achieved one of my dreams. I perfectly executed the Acid Drop Waveshine into a stock taken. This has never been done by anyone EVER!! Huge accomplishment in my eyes and I'm super proud of it.

For those that are wondering. The bomb waveshining thing I did on Mario is a tech called the Acid Drop ( I call doing multiple of these on an opponent the Acid Drop Waveshine ). It was first discovered and invented by Germ but has been innovated by me into what you see here. Germ used to do a single one as a form of shield pressure but I learned that it could be used to juggle airborne opponents with really cool results. To do this tech you jump diag forward or backward, zdrop, then waveland diag forward or backward in a smooth motion, and then recatch the bomb on the ground as you land.

Genuinely hope this video inspires others to explore their characters further within the wonderful depths of melee, and to face their own fears when it comes to exploring new avenues.

Also wanted to give huge shoutouts to my link family : Savestate, Sinny, Hunybear, Timteee, Scrubby, Coolin, Jojo, Aklo, Kuya, and Zlow. These people without a doubt have helped me immensely towards developing the style that I have and I would not be where I am now if not for them. They have always supported me and challenged me to keep improving. Love you all!!
