![]() ![]() None of these sequel videos, however, have attained the prior popularity of the original video.Ī later reenactment of the Wombo Combo occurred during the second grand finals game between SilentSpectre and Tang against Phil and Falcomist on Corneria, at CGC SFSU IX(9) (Bi-Weeklies). Owing to the continued dominance of SilentSpectre and Tang, as well as the high popularity of their original combo, multiple sequels to the Wombo Combo were performed over the years following the original video, at least one of which was unofficial. The original Wombo Combo video, uploaded by Lumpycpu on December 8th, 2008, has attained over 20 million views on YouTube, a testament to the enduring popularity of the video.Īs a further reference to the original video, Zhu's current YouTube channel is named "Poor Zhu". It is widely considered as an MLG-type meme on the internet. In addition, several multiplayer online battle arena games, including League of Legends and Dota 2, have incorporated the term "wombo combo" to refer to several teammates using extremely powerful attacks to damage an opponent with no chance of escape. The commentary has since been applied to other videos to make them more humorous, such as scenes from the Pokémon anime and multiple videos related to baseball. This occurred because of the video's humorous reactions that can be partially applied to a wide variety of other games, coining such phrases as "Where you at?!", "Happy feet!", "That ain't Falco", and "Get yo' ass whooped!". However, the video would later go on to become popular in other communities on the Internet, causing it to become an internet meme. The profanely-worded combo video quickly became popular in the Smash community due to both the absurdity of the commentary and the combo itself. In fittingly grandiose style the pizza features various uncommon toppings, including artichoke hearts and green onions. The term "Wombo Combo" itself reportedly originates from a pizza offered by the chain " Round Table Pizza". ![]() However, once the combo occurred and was seen to contain both these elements, all previous connotations of the term became antiquated. SilentSpectre and Tang went on to top the losers' bracket and made it to the grand finals against Mango and PsychoMidget however, they ultimately lost and finished second place in the tournament.Ĭontrary to what the video's commentary might imply, and based on the commentary of the previous match of the set, the term "Wombo Combo" was initially a generic term used to refer to either a combo of Fox's Shine to an immediate up smash (which by itself is technically demanding and reasonably impressive) or any particularly impressive team combo. After the end of the match, the stunned response of the smashers taking part in the match, as well as the observers, can be heard in the background. As the combo began, however, all three degenerated into constant yelling, with HomeMadeWaffles screaming the now-infamous phrase "Where you at?!" into the microphone several times as the match ended. Shortly before the combo, the commentating team of HomeMadeWaffles, Phil, and Mango made snide remarks about Zhu's predicament, such as "poor Zhu", "Happy Feet?", and "that ain't Falco!", ironically referencing Zhu's series of Falco-themed combo videos entitled " Happy Feet". Within the span of only seven seconds, Zhu's damage had gone from 0% to 77%, and he and Lucky were knocked out of the tournament. Capitalizing on the mistake, Tang performed a grab release, opening up a massive combo consisting of multiple grabs and throws by SilentSpectre and up smashes from Tang, ultimately culminating in Tang's Shine to up smash into SilentSpectre's Knee Smash to KO Zhu. The combo itself began after Zhu poorly spaced two back aerials the first one hit SilentSpectre for negligible damage, while the second one missed completely. Near the end of the match, Lucky was KOed by SilentSpectre's up smash, giving the latter and Tang a significant stock advantage they both had two stocks apiece, while Zhu had only one left. The deciding game of the set took place on Battlefield, with SilentSpectre (as Captain Falcon) and Tang (as Fox) fighting against Lucky and Zhu (both as Fox) in doubles. The Wombo Combo was performed during losers' semifinals at the regional tournament SCSA West Coast Circuit on December 6th, 2008. ![]()
