If not before already, since the release of the Kirby (Return to Dreamland)-combo video some weeks ago everyone should be thinking of doing/searching/recording combos in games which aren't inside the regular beat 'em up/fighting game-genre providing combo videos usually.
I'm on my way to gather some material of this kind.
Here's a little compilation of Raphael combos from Soul Calibur 2 (inside a video of the worst quality possible); if I end up doing a rather big video in the very end, I will re-record them with a capture card or an emulator:

Here's a little combo from the game Shank, the options are rather limited and this game is everything but flawlessly programmed, but probably I will record some more in the future:

I will raise at this point that I have some idiotic audio-recording issues. In matter of Fraps, unless a game allows me to choose the number of channels manually, I can't record sound at all.
Here's a rather old video of mine about Prototype:

(In case you only want to see the interesting stuff, go to 1:45 and watch 2 scenes from there.)
I guess Devil May Cry-videos several of you saw already, however, an example for combos:

I guess I will take a closer look at Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 soon, the game which was made for a single purpose, to give mega-newbies the feeling to be capable of anything in a "fighting" game. I'm one of the people disliking Naruto utterly but the animations are just too - I repeat, TOO - great to not draw my attention to it.
Additionally I recorded some gameplay of another Naruto title quite some time ago, Ultimate Ninja 5 (/Narutimate Accel 2 (jap)):

From 3:00 onward you can watch some chosen clips, including combos.
Overall I'm sure that everything with an animation which is viewtiful enough can be put into an "all-round combo" video, even turn based games like Resonance of Fate.
Or, I dunno, even something like this (TrackMania 2 Canyon):

If anyone has anything to say, has some game-suggestions for me to look at or even probably wants to join this, though it's too early to call it like this, project, he shall comment.
searching combos in 'other' games
Re: searching combos in 'other' games
If this becomes something, I could do combos in The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai or The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.
Re: searching combos in 'other' games
I made two combo videos for Ninja Gaiden Black. (Well, one combo video, one "stylish gameplay" video)
Never did upload them though.

Re: searching combos in 'other' games
The only game I can think of that fits this is Guardian Heroes HD for XBLA which is a sidescrolling beat-em-up with like 60+ characters. I was gonna make a short vid for it when it came out but I got sick of playing it pretty quick. I should still remember a lot of the combos I had though.
Re: searching combos in 'other' games
I plan on making combo vids for the Tales of series but no idea when I'll be able to, considering that I have to get a lot of skills in each playthrough before I can even attempt to start finding combos.
Re: searching combos in 'other' games
Yeah, I recently decided to go back in the past and explore TMNT: Tournament Fighters for the NES, only to find that combos of any kind are literally impossible in that game. You can't even hit anyone when they're dizzied!

Bob_Sagat lool.
At everyone:
Thanks for the replies guys. Actually I'd have liked to say to everyone record now and record hard, but sadly I'm caught in a vortex in real life right now, being forced to drop projects like this one.
However, if anyone got/gets excited about this idea, or already works on something similar, I'll gladly contribute the things I recorded so far. (includes also some Ninja Storm 2, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Devil May Cry 3 and Street Fighter 3 stuff (SF3 should never be missing imo, the clips are quite worthy too; though it's understandable to not use such mainstream-clips for this very collaboration).
best regards
