Skullgirls - Big Band Rick rolled combo is a Skullgirls combo video uploaded by mandrake3468 in 2021. This video showcases the high-level fighting game execution and advanced combo routing — the kind of team-based assists, infinite-prevention system routing, and character-specific extensions that defines competitive Skullgirls play. From the original post: "Had to reupload this on YT because the old one got deleted for no reason Inspired from Cattfish blues's Big Band video : https://youtu.be/bs6MO0MmTMo"
A rickroll-inspired combo showcase in Skullgirls featuring Big Band. This video pulls from the style of Cattfish blues's Big Band combo work, combining the character's heavy, brass-driven moveset with unexpected comedic timing. The clip plays on the internet's most notorious bait-and-switch meme, translating that joke format into fighting game execution. Big Band's slower, methodical combo structure makes for natural setup opportunities, and the video's premise hinges on that contrast—building toward something that subverts viewer expectations rather than delivering the straightforward high-damage sequence you'd anticipate. Originally uploaded elsewhere before being reuploaded to YouTube, the video captures a niche moment in the Skullgirls community where lab creativity and meme culture overlap. The rickroll angle gives the combo a specific identity rather than just another Big Band damage route, making it memorable for anyone familiar with both fighting game combos and internet culture.
