Skullgirls is well known for how much freedom it gives players. This freedom allows all sorts of different options per player, in both how they wish to play and in how they build their combos. This can lead to incredibly varied combo potential; despite the game making it ordinary to expect variety, what we’re looking at today takes being unique one step further.

This CMV–titled “Long Forgotten”–will be pretty hard to forget. It features combos from slew of different community members, from various parts of the world, along with several different characters in some truly wacky circumstances–even by Skullgirls’ standards. Though impractical, these combos are still quite entertaining.

Chin’s drunken boxing style is one of the more unique fighting styles in The King of Fighters XIV–only Virtua Fighter and Tekken have featured this style at all before. The more he drinks, the bigger the punch he packs.

In this combo video, we see how Chin can handle his liquor–or not. All of these combos are performed without any drinks, which shows exactly how much damage he can pull off “sober.” There is actually even a touch-of-death combo, which serves as a reminder to drink responsibly–in and out of game.
