A combo video is a clip compilation that demonstrates the comboing abilities of certain characters or players. The concept of a combo video itself is very diverse and generalized. They can include mindgames towards other players or move strings, contrasting true combos. A combo video can be about comboing in general with a character, or about repeatedly hitting a specific combo. A combo video is also often called a montage, namely when the video showcases impressive clips in general that aren't strictly combos, such as the player pulling off a series of difficult advanced techniques, the player keeping an opponent locked in disadvantage for an extraordinary long amount of time, and the player KOing opponents with notoriously difficult to hit moves.
Explanation
The character and combo both are usually shown in the title. A "Ken Combo" video might demonstrate the ability of Marth to combine his fair into his dair. However, a video merely titled "a Marth combo video" would likely show numerous other combos performed by Marth. A combo video's title could also be ambiguous, such as "Wombo Combo" simply being a clip demonstrating combos by two players at once. Combo videos are often made up of multiple excerpts from tournament matches or online play. The main purpose of combo videos is to entertain views, but they can also serve to educating other players about how to combo with their main character as well as demonstrating the creator's own skill.
Combo videos entered the smash scene in 2004 and have become increasingly popular ever since.
