Brandon "HomeMadeWaffles" Collier, or just HMW is an American smasher from California who mains Fox and Falco. He is known for his Dr. Mario skills in Melee, as well as being a commentator. Brandon is known for his strong fundamentals, which allow him to play a large amount of the cast with prowess, even going so far as to use Donkey Kong in tournament at times. He is also well known for his YouTube profile which has some of the most popular Melee videos. Waffles is okay with Brawl, and likes the original Super Smash Bros. He (along with Phil) is known as the voice of the West Coast in the Melee scene in the same way that DJ Nintendo and Papa Dave are the voices of the East Coast scene. His most popular video is the so-called Wombo Combo. The Kobe, named after Kobe Bryant, is usually shouted whenever Waffles hits a forward air (the "dunk") with his Dr. Mario. HomeMadeWaffles is currently ranked 5th on the NorCal Melee Power Rankings.

Wombo Combo

Main article: Wombo Combo

The Wombo Combo is arguably known as one of the greatest combos in the history of Smash. It is a combo from SilentSpectre (Captain Falcon) and Tang (Green Fox) versus Zhu (Blue Fox) and Lucky (White-Blue Fox), on the Battlefield stage. The Wombo Combo consists of Tang grab-releasing Zhu, SilentSpectre performing a down throw, Tang up-smashing, SilentSpectre performing a back-throw, Tang up smashing out of shine (via jump cancel), and then a Knee of Justice off stage, with HomeMadeWaffles shouting the infamous phrase "Where are you at?" The video of the Wombo Combo has attracted over 9,000,000 views on YouTube and has been parodied many times.
