The combo consisted of a constant [[grab release]] followed up with a final combo culminating in a [[knee smash]] that did 77% damage to KO Zhu and end the match. SS and Tang went on to top the loser's bracket and push the grand finals to a second set where they ultimately lost to {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|PsychoMidget}}. | ||
The combo video later became extremely popular in other communities on the Internet, not just the ''Smash'' community; this is due to the video's humorous reactions that can be partially applied to a wide variety of other games, coining such phrases as "That ain't Falco!", and "Get yo ass whooped!". The commentary has since been applied to other combos to give the video humor value. A modified "You mad 'cause I'm stylin' on you" video was later uploaded with commentary from the Wombo Combo video, where Mango, Phil, and HomeMadeWaffles yell their signature quotes as a fight breaks out when the talking man opposite the one in front of the camera is punched. | The combo video later became extremely popular in other communities on the Internet, not just the ''Smash'' community; this is due to the video's humorous reactions that can be partially applied to a wide variety of other games, coining such phrases as "That ain't Falco!", and "Get yo ass whooped!".

Based on the commentary from the previous match of the set, the term "Wombo Combo" existed before the match as one of two things: the combo of [[shine]] to [[up smash]], or any impressive team combo. Of course once the combo occured, any previous connotations were completely forgotten, with the term now exclusively referring to this specific combo. | |||
