Fame
DBR launched into the public eye after releasing a series of combo videos. Though they were released individually (by such titles as Shined Blind, Overdose, and Hylian Nightmare), people eventually began to speak of them collectively, as the "DBR videos." For a while their videos were in high demand at GameFAQs and SmashBoards, and DBR became idols to many newcomers. This admiration caught some backlash from players who believed DBR members were overhyped and not truly very good.
Criticisms
Some players believe DBR pre-planned the combos in their video. Many newer players believed that the combos done in their videos could not actually be done. This, however, is not the case and most Smasher will attest that their combos are from real matches.
A more legitimate criticism, however, comes from higher-level players that consider that DBR's impressive combos are only possible because of their poor directional influence. Indeed, Chillindude has stated that DBR members DI into each other's combos.
