besides the daigo vid, what are some good “comeback” videos, i.e., videos that illustrate the “never give up” mentality?
i’m a little hesitant about starting this thread, cuz making a comeback isn’t that uncommon in 3s… but maybe there are some good ones that come to people’s minds. post up if you think of any.
CLARIFICATION:
i guess some people have different ideas about what a comeback video is. here’s what i think:
the defining element of a comeback video is not that the victory was unexpected, even though the victory IS unexpected. the defining element is that one character is in dire straits, on his last legs after having suffered a beatdown; where winning is a lost hope to everyone else; where the idea of doing all the work to win is demoralizing; and yet he still perseveres in the face of such adversity, and makes a valiant effort to overcome the seemingly insurmountable challenge, and ultimately wins.
perfect example of such a video, see the post by Fran3s (3rd post in this thread); the fact that it was twelve is not relevant, imo, although it definitely adds to the effect
videos where “low tier” characters simply win against “high tier” characters don’t really count as comeback videos; there needs to be that element of a comeback
people have been posting some good videos, but they’re not really comeback videos. i mean it’s cool that they’re getting posted here, and i don’t really mind that they’re here, especially since i haven’t seen all of them, but i just wanted to focus the attention of this thread on comebacks…
i’ve updated my OP with some thoughts on what makes a comeback video
