The Consouls Mellow Out the Main Theme of Super Smash Bros. Melee

Just in time for The Big House 6, The Counsouls are back with another smooth styling from the video game vaults. This time, they are taking on the fierce, in-your-face theme of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Usually intensely trumpeting through your CRT televisions with triumph, this jazz cover of the theme instead whispers a calming, cool feeling through your speakers.

Already known for a long list of covers, including Ken’s theme, The Consouls are definitely stepping it up a notch. It is interesting to hear their calm, mature takes on the game music we grew up with.

2GGaming Rounds Up Some Technical True Combos in this Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Combo Contest

Alongside their regular Twitter tech round up videos, 2GGaming recently asked for video submissions for a special combo contest they were holding for Smash 4 players. To qualify for this contest, players had to upload clips with at least three unique aerials and a large section of the the combo had to be true. No measly strings in this contest, 2GG were looking for some flashy inescapable combos.

The list features Bowser Jr. item play, platform extensions with Duck Hunt, Greninja footstool combos but the winner was a lengthy Peach combo collection which feature turnip extensions, instant float cancels and general mastery of Peach’s aerial movement. Some of the tech that Smash 4 players are starting to experiment with is really impressive and I can’t wait to see more of these high execution combos as the meta continues to grow.
