This video was super cool because towards the end Zhu said "you are gunna see the Wombo Combo video then your gunna look to the side and search for melee videos", that's exactly how i got into melee. The Wombo Combo was a beautiful thing for so many reasons.
Its nuts how you guys could take 2 minutes worth of story on the Wombo Combo, stretch it to 11 and actually make it interesting. These LSL episodes are always so good.
I feel like Wombo Combo is the equivalent of Evo Moment 37 to the Smash community. Both inspired people to get into the respective series' that they belong to and into fighting games in general. To me that is a beautiful thing.
Wow I remember stumbling across this not too long after it happened and my jaw dropping. That combo was the coolest thing. It is great to learn more about the history of it. Great stuff, can't wait for more!
Really cool video. Really wish SS did a little interview segment with Tang. Even if he just stood there in silence and occasionally nodded. That might actual be optimal, rofl.
At my last job I played the audio from the Wombo Combo clip over the loud speakers. Every department and even the people outside of the plant heard it loud and clear. A few people looked confused by it after I slipped out of the hiding spot I used to page the audio, but I was never caught.
two facts i never knew. 1 lucky was zhu's team mate 2 mango was one of the commentators when it happened. what would be interesting is a video where you ask gamers if they have heard of wombo combo (from other games) before asking them trivia questions about it and see how much they know. i feel like the funniest thing to happen would be asking what game was the original on, and see how many are stumped
@Eric, The Fanboy Slayer I agree with you on that last statement. I was SO excited for the new Smash game when it was announced, but since so many other users (and Sakaruai himself) kept leaking the game, the hype is kinda going away. Just like Mario Odyssey. I was honestly hyped for Odyssey, but people just ruined it for me. But that's a whole other topic
Oh, so HMW knew about the combo already, I assumed it was made on the fly. I was wondering why they started screaming just because he got grabbed. Amazing video.
The Wombo Combo basically shows what the smash community is in a nutshell. So it makes u wanna look into the game when u get that whiff. Thats how I got into melee.
I've been saying wombo combo and I had never heard the melee meme before. It just rhymes, if the Melee announcers/players came up with it it's not crazy to think someone else could too. Not saying it didn't catch on to a degree, but that doesn't mean everyone who ever uses it got it from a Melee meme.
Real talk, it was the commentators who made that video such a hit
true dat
gameandflogchannel
Chudat Kappa
HMW (Home Made Waffles) trash talk 👌👌👌
Benjamin McEachrane No shit.
ToshiRolls who else is with yung waff?
Zhu got his ass whooped so that melee could grow
Brent Chadha implying he could've won that match? Nooo way.
he gave his stock for us, praise him
Zhu is like christ on the cross
Truly the Jesus of Melee. The Smash Ultimate sacrifice
"Four stocks and seven years ago." Awesome quote haha
This video was super cool because towards the end Zhu said "you are gunna see the Wombo Combo video then your gunna look to the side and search for melee videos", that's exactly how i got into melee. The Wombo Combo was a beautiful thing for so many reasons.
same.
e.sam
Jack Frost had grown up playing melee and saw the vid lol
Wombo Combo is a meme because for a moment in time you seecompletely unrelated people totally in sync for a moment and it's beautiful
yay ice cream cones
at least he admits that it's okay to be a living meme.
in this time he had his finger on start Red pill : best rage quit of all time Blu pill : best melee meme and term used in league of legend compilation
We still don't know where he's at
+Julian Zhu nope, not here.
Still don't know where's he at
To this day we are unaware of his current whereabouts
It's 2023 we still can't locate this man
1:29 zhu was about to spit some bars
He had to hold back for the interview
Best comment
it's really cool to see the background of such an iconic moment in smash history. Also, zhu seems super cool.
He should meet this guy Chris! He seems pretty cool, too.
Typo House Games also an iconic moment in mlg history...
Tang looks hella fresh
Tang always looks hella fresh
Kim Steinbach-Reif thanks guys
Holy Shit
lol I was just about to comment that- like how does Tang look even more slick irl lol.
Also, this video is godlike
He looks as smooth as his fox man
Wait, Zhu was on the receiving end of a combo that wasn't for him?
poor zhu
tiramisu951 The wrong place at the right time my friend
Its nuts how you guys could take 2 minutes worth of story on the Wombo Combo, stretch it to 11 and actually make it interesting. These LSL episodes are always so good.
The soundtrack to this is so fresh!
Just like Tang's looks
4 stocks and 7 years ago.
Thats pretty clever. Had myself a chuckle there tang.
I Wombo. You Wombo. He/She/Me Wombo. Wombo, womboing
Yotipo wombology? the study of wombo? zhu it's first grade
Wish more people had Zhu's attitude.
I'm glad you didn't ragequit. I think that moment alone put Melee back on the spotlight and where we are today. Thank you for your sportsmanship.
I feel like Wombo Combo is the equivalent of Evo Moment 37 to the Smash community.
Both inspired people to get into the respective series' that they belong to and into fighting games in general. To me that is a beautiful thing.
Commenting in 2024 and I think the Wombo combo directly helped Melee survived this crazy long time after release
this video was very much needed
Zhu is such a great interviewee
Ty
Wow I remember stumbling across this not too long after it happened and my jaw dropping. That combo was the coolest thing. It is great to learn more about the history of it. Great stuff, can't wait for more!
I think this is the first piece of history that is told by the loser/victim.
God, I miss these videos. Hope everyone that helped make last stock legends a thing is doing well.
There was 3 videos that got me into watching Smash and becoming more invested into it.
-Wombo Combo
-M2K vs Salem
-Professor Pro vs Rolex
I wished Prof still played.

The soundtrack in this video are amazing great work!
Really good mic in order to interview TANG outside. Nice to see this technology in melee videos.

Really cool video. Really wish SS did a little interview segment with Tang. Even if he just stood there in silence and occasionally nodded. That might actual be optimal, rofl.
Revolution of ESports commentary and memes for years and years to come
next on MagicScrumpy: What If Zhu Had Ragequit?
oh fuck the darkest timeline
Amazing video. This is exactly the kind of content that I want to see on Last Stock Legends - good work guys
You're wombo combo? Yes, yes i am
Zhu is such a good sport, and his run at EVO2016 was sick. Gotta love that guy
I love this youtube channel so much. Thank you for the upload!
A documentary episode on a meme, what a world we live in now.
legendary combo turned meme*
meme that gave insane amounts of exposure to the smash scene*
Wombo combo isn't just a meme. Don't underappreciate it
THE FUTURE IS NOW
profile pic?
Zhu was very well-spoken. Great vid
4:41 "other e-sports started picking it up"
*shows runescape*
THANK YOU PROG
That still ain't Falco
Zhu's alive!? I thought he got sent to the shadowrealm after that destruction...
don't sleep on Zhu. He's a pretty good Falco lol
I know, his gameplay is pretty crisp
Krissen The Fraud he just happened to be the unfortunate receiver of the legendary wombo combo, lol
My grandfather's deck has no pathetic combos... but it does have the unstoppable Wombo Combo!
The music's smooth as hell
Wow, great video. I've always wondered what happened to them since I saw the wombo combo
this channel has a fresh clean aesthetic to it, I dig it.
Zhu, you deserve a medal for sacrificing yourself for the greatest moment in smash history.
At my last job I played the audio from the Wombo Combo clip over the loud speakers. Every department and even the people outside of the plant heard it loud and clear. A few people looked confused by it after I slipped out of the hiding spot I used to page the audio, but I was never caught.
Haha, Tang is being interviewed in between the San Jose Convention Center and Civic Center where G3 was at. Hometown right there. Baysains!
3:06 a young PewPewU
HOLY SHIT HE'S SO SMALL GOOD CATCH
Elie4Elite young hax$ too fam
A nerdy af Scar

Nicely done video, as always. Make the Smash scene a Blockbuster hit! ;P
I get happy when a video like this has good visuals
Why is the production value so good lmao
I love these videos, keep up the good work.
This channel needs more subs
What an amazing video, great job guys!
Is that Falco?
that AIN'T falco, actually
No this is Patrick
No, this is Sparta.
Dat ain't falco
Tireless XDDD
Zhu handled this meme incredibly well. Scar and Toph discussed how memes need to carried with Hugo.
two facts i never knew.
1 lucky was zhu's team mate
2 mango was one of the commentators when it happened.
what would be interesting is a video where you ask gamers if they have heard of wombo combo (from other games) before asking them trivia questions about it and see how much they know. i feel like the funniest thing to happen would be asking what game was the original on, and see how many are stumped
Smash is the best esport.
maybe csgo or halo in its prime could challemge but yea.
@Eric, The Fanboy Slayer yea...but Smash Bros Ultimate will be the ULTIMATE sport. Imma be honest... Melee is over-rated
@Eric, The Fanboy Slayer HOLY Fμ©K!!!! Calm the hell down! I just said Melee was over-rated, and said my opinion that's all. That doesn't mean i hate it. Granted, I've never played it before, but I enjoy watching other people play it because it's quite entertaining. Heck, i even think Ultimate's over-rated and the Game's not even out yet!
@Eric, The Fanboy Slayer I agree with you on that last statement. I was SO excited for the new Smash game when it was announced, but since so many other users (and Sakaruai himself) kept leaking the game, the hype is kinda going away. Just like Mario Odyssey. I was honestly hyped for Odyssey, but people just ruined it for me. But that's a whole other topic
@Eric, The Fanboy Slayer tldr?
the vid of vids. excellent delivery
bae asians
Great work as always!
STORY LINE BEHIND THE MEME OMG YES. Still waiting on the G3 Mini doc tho
this soundtrack is sooooooooooo good
Very nice to see how it came about
*Rewatches wombo combo video*
I love these videos so much keep it up!
I lost it at mr Bobby Scar 3:02

Scar looks so nerdy
These are great. Never stop! ^_^
Awesome video btw. Keep them coming
Awesome documentary
Oh, so HMW knew about the combo already, I assumed it was made on the fly. I was wondering why they started screaming just because he got grabbed. Amazing video.
Been waiting for this
damn this guys entire legacy is built on getting shit on
i still want to believe wombo combo originated from a pizza
Thank you for showing us where he's at
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
FINALLY MORE CONTENT!
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS KEEP IT UP!!
I can tell from this guys words that this is something he had to heal from.
The Wombo Combo basically shows what the smash community is in a nutshell. So it makes u wanna look into the game when u get that whiff. Thats how I got into melee.
Jesus, this is so good!
So Wombo Combo is the Evo Moment 37 for melee?
Number 1 most iconic smash moments in history.
bruh he really just say combo wombo unironically
I once got spiked knocked back up and spiked again and my friends and I memed out over that
I'm here early,
Honestly, the soundtrack here is slick af
Man I really wanted to hear Jeff...dude needs an interview being one of the og falcon legends
Intro is dank as hell
I've been saying wombo combo and I had never heard the melee meme before. It just rhymes, if the Melee announcers/players came up with it it's not crazy to think someone else could too. Not saying it didn't catch on to a degree, but that doesn't mean everyone who ever uses it got it from a Melee meme.
Not only was it one of the greatest moments of melee history it was also one of the greatest moments of Meme history
Song name that plays at 0:47?
