If I buy it will it be responsive or unresponsive cus the yo-yos I buy on the internet are responsive I really need a unresponsive one to do advanced tricks
Bro fr I just clicked on something because I was RUclips drunk and damn I am amazed at how well you made yo yo sound makes me want to buy a yo-yo what’s the variant like
This feels like a full circle moment. I started watching you pretty much 10 years ago for your tutorials, you made some Mickey tutorials and back then you seemed like a massive fan of his. I find this video very well explained, I love how you keep getting better and better at RUclips! You put a recent yoyo history topic and made it likeable for non-yoyoers and yoyoers alike. I must add as well that a lot of people seem to think Angelo became "good" at speed combos in 2020, but what they are missing here is that he has been this fast since at least 2015. I remember a story from Gentry back from when Angelo was in the "Shutter Crew" (2016?2017?) where he did a very similar fast combo at an already insane speed. He has worked his ass off since before 2012 (when he was awarded best US junior player) and people still seem to believe Angelo "got lucky". He might have been a bit lucky that tiktok algorithm picked up his content back in 2020 (when, by the way, he was doing content non-stop), but he has played his cards right and marketed everything in a way that is now recognizable from afar. Yes, godspeed isn't really a thing in yoyoing, but in this day and age when I think of speed combo Angelo pops up in my mind -even if he isn't the creator of this type of tricks, just an insanely fast player. Props to him for his hard work.
What a blast fron the past. I can remember watching Hiroyuki Suzuki videos maybe early to mid 2000s when I was in elementary school and interested in yoyos and diablos. Didn't know the routine was called Godspeed, but when that opening clip started, I knew I've seen that movement somewhere. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
Someone already said it but man I really never thought a yoyo video could firmly hold my attention for more than 60 seconds let alone a couple of minutes. Well executed video.
Great vid Brandon, very informative. Also one thing I noticed which may or may not be true but Angelo's rail combo uses relatively simpler rail elements as compared to people like Jason Liu or Shion, which helps him go faster. Also his combo incorporates a lot of hits which make the combo look faster than it is.
I've never tried yoyo before I thought to myself "I'll watch the intro for a bit" and the next thing I knew the vid was over! I was so into it. That was so entertaining you're a great storyteller and editor
I used to compete back in 1999 with some miscellaneous titles and sponsors (Yomega, Team Losi, 11th 1A Nationals, unofficial "Fastest 2H Looper" at Golden Apple), and also actually taught Jason Lee at my local shop, and this stuff would have looked like witchcraft to us back then. It's wild how far yoyoing has come.
@@thebrandonvu yup, we were both literally kids back then (I was 13, he was a year or two younger), and part of my sponsorship was instructing. I had no idea I was teaching one of the GOATs at the time. Sadly the shop went out of business and I gradually stopped yoyoing in highschool, but he kept at it apparently 😂
I subscribed just because of the way you told that story. I'm a 43 year old Former Marine from Cent Fl that doesn't even know why this popped up on his feed, but is damn glad it did. Great vid.
This was so interesting to watch! I love yo-yo even though I don’t possess any talent for it….. Also I heard Godspeed and yo-yo and all I could think of was Killua Zoldyck XD
Micky is the og of the godspeed, there's even a video of him doing his signsture double or nothing speed combo to advertise the yoyo called "speeder" at the time he was trying to profit out of it.
I don't even like yoyos and I am not interested in them but somehow this gentleman got me to watch the entire video without losing interest and leaving for something else.
GREAT VIDEO. little sidenote though, please make the background music a bit quieter it makes it harder to focus on your voice. Other than that thank you for the documentary!
Hey brandon quick vid suggestion maybe bring back the learn tricks like a pro series back!iam 4 months into yoyoing and got i lil speed combo but its a very short one ahhahahaah anyways nice content!very story like love it brandon thank you for vlogging for us!!!!(please do more story vids hahahaha i really liked the vids that you tell us on how you won anyc or how you got dq'ed from a yoyo contest but even if u don't do more of those i'll still love your content!)
Yo-yo was popular in Russia more than 10 years ago, somewhere in 2013 the popularity ended. I decided to remember my childhood and bought myself a yo-yo and now the trends show it
Oh man thanks for reminding me of one of the Kings of yoyo Hiroyuki Suzuki I also remember all of these contest like it was yesterday I live in Hawaii and met Evan when he was the yoyo baby lol so I guess you could say I have been playing for over 10 years lol I wish I could compete I just don't have enough funds to get to a contest
I don't have TikTok but I've definitely seen some of my friends do this trick back in school. Not as fast though. Wanted to join them but 10 years ago, I didn't exactly have any money to buy a yoyo with.
Being in my mid thirties, I never thought I'd be recommended a video like this. I remember being a kid and impressing people by making the Eiffel Tower with the string, now I see that was pretty basic lol. I had no idea about this kind of stuff until 10 minutes ago
Having played yo-yos (thru influence of a certain anime and TV show) during the majority of my teen years, I'm just glad to be able to pull off the basic tricks😂 I could never hope to perform the tricks these masters show.
I can't be the only one that's scrolling the comment's section checking if senpai noticed you. Good stuff! Maybe do a history lesson on the DNA. Can't remember how it goes but it probably has bits of Pali, Kohta, Ethan wong and Han sanpraset in it. :D
It's crazy how the yo-yo has been around since the 50s with techniques and tricks being a thing and still today people are finding new ways to mess with it.
I just bought the Deviantand it sucks it comes back to my hand when I tug and it says it comes fully unresponsive Do you have a suggestions to make it better
Want to start Yo-yoing? Get a yo-yo here; www.offsetyoyo.com/shop-online/ultimate-yoyo-starter-pack
If I buy it will it be responsive or unresponsive cus the yo-yos I buy on the internet are responsive I really need a unresponsive one to do advanced tricks
Nice bro
I didnt expect myself to be this engrossed in a yoyo video, you are a master of storytelling and presentation! 💯
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Fr lol

This video has shown me we need more yoyo history vids!
Haha cheers bro!!
@@thebrandonvu Hey Brandon, when are you going to announce the winner of the dinged yoyo contest?
This is a great idea. Brandon the Yoyo historian? BIG
yes yes more history so cool!!
What a blast fron the past. I can remember watching Hiroyuki Suzuki videos maybe early to mid 2000s when I was in elementary school and interested in yoyos and diablos. Didn't know the routine was called Godspeed, but when that opening clip started, I knew I've seen that movement somewhere.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
This is probably one of my most favorite videos you've ever made the amount of History in it is crazy.
I don't even play yoyo, and I'm here watching the whole video about something that I will never do. Kudos to you. This is very interesting.
Mans a vlogger, tik toker, yo-yo designer, business owner, legend and now a historian 😂😂 great vid dude
That "we're actually not" and "senpai notice me" had me dead 💀😂
Lmfao
Same
Hiroyuki Suzuki is living legend, so many yoyo player inspired from him 🔥🔥🔥
Someone already said it but man I really never thought a yoyo video could firmly hold my attention for more than 60 seconds let alone a couple of minutes. Well executed video.
I know nothing about yoyos,except that godspeed is killua's electric ability
Well if you watched this video, you now know more than 99% of the population.
Isn't Killua's brother gift him a yoyo?
@@saintofthechurchofautism8433 yup with metal weights inside the yoyos
Great vid Brandon, very informative. Also one thing I noticed which may or may not be true but Angelo's rail combo uses relatively simpler rail elements as compared to people like Jason Liu or Shion, which helps him go faster. Also his combo incorporates a lot of hits which make the combo look faster than it is.
That’s another good point! Great insight.
Just finished watching and I really never thought about how fast he went and why, insightful to say the least
Great video. I had no idea about the significance that the mach 5 mount had on contests and speed combo. Thanks for sharing this!
This is definitely in the top 5 of your body of work, one of the most interesting pieces of yoyo content I've ever seen. Incredible video, great job
Thanks bro! Worked really hard on this glad you enjoyed it.
I loved growing up and watching micky. His style was so crazy back then. shout out the PHENOM!!!
Brandon: Each string hit counted as a point.
Me: Eli Hops.
Mickey is the most revolutionary yoyo competitor of the past two decades and I’ll die on that hill.
I've never tried yoyo before I thought to myself "I'll watch the intro for a bit" and the next thing I knew the vid was over! I was so into it. That was so entertaining you're a great storyteller and editor
Brandon was like our school teacher at this point😂
Weird title, but ok.
I used to compete back in 1999 with some miscellaneous titles and sponsors (Yomega, Team Losi, 11th 1A Nationals, unofficial "Fastest 2H Looper" at Golden Apple), and also actually taught Jason Lee at my local shop, and this stuff would have looked like witchcraft to us back then.

Jesus Christ, you taught Jason Lee tricks? He’s a legend.
@@thebrandonvu yup, we were both literally kids back then (I was 13, he was a year or two younger), and part of my sponsorship was instructing.

Love the video essay format, great vid!
Glad you liked it!
Didn't know people still played with yo-yos. this was a thing back in the 70's.
Rail combos are lit. Love y'all 💓
This was super cool! Learning a bit of the history of yo-yo competitions is super cool!
The sheer dedication these guys have is amazing
Very well explained. For a person who has a very low attention span, I'd forgotten I was watching this video until it got over . Keep it up.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️

Thank you very much Ryan! Really appreciate the kind words.
This was so interesting to watch! I love yo-yo even though I don’t possess any talent for it…..
Also I heard Godspeed and yo-yo and all I could think of was Killua Zoldyck XD
This video is like an article! Awesome video, man!
loving the daily uploads
great video , accurate af , thanks for explaining our world to the masses.
Thanks bro!!
@@thebrandonvu thank you brandon , our culture needs to be shared , damn shame it isnt recognized in north America
@@RufusTheRed 🤣 why? Lots of "cultures" arent.
Really really excellent video editing! Makes me want to get back into competitive yoyoing! Thanks Brandon!
We need new Yoyo anime to entice the young generation into the hype again.
Yes we do!
Bro that history content is vintage !!
Micky is the og of the godspeed, there's even a video of him doing his signsture double or nothing speed combo to advertise the yoyo called "speeder" at the time he was trying to profit out of it.
Great yoyo history vid! Diversifies your content a lot, lit!
Cheers bro wanted to try something a little new

Thank you ❤️
Hiruki is absolute legend.

I never really cared about yo-yo but the way you tell this story is super engaging ! Thanks for the great video ! 🔥🔥
Thanks very much bro!!
Because of you, i might start my journey in yoyoing, looks fun

This was a great video! Thank you!!
Thank you for the yoyo history lesson!
I worked with and am still friends with Noel Kunz. Seeing him do these things in person are mesmerizing.
I don't play yoyo but god, that speed amaze me!
Fair enough!
amazing that you do the explanation while playing
I love this content! 🔥 Nice one Brandon! Is like i'm in a yo-yo class
I can't yo yo more than 10 times and m still watching this video 😅

Thanks so much!
Really good work Brandon 🎉
Ive once playing yoyo since Super Yoyo anime introduced. I got banged at my head many times
How is this man so good at yo-yoing
In case I missed he mentioned it, the dude he showed in the beginning around 1:09 is Johnnie DelVallie.
I just got your devient 5 I love it it’s so easy to do horizontal combos
👍😎👍
and kid's that's the history of Godspeed combo! awesome!!! and cute!
Oh man thanks for reminding me of one of the Kings of yoyo Hiroyuki Suzuki I also remember all of these contest like it was yesterday I live in Hawaii and met Evan when he was the yoyo baby lol so I guess you could say I have been playing for over 10 years lol I wish I could compete I just don't have enough funds to get to a contest
I haven’t touched a yo-yo in 25 years. This stuff didn’t exist back then. Hell the internet barely existed back then lol. Impressive.
ngl you indeed have the skills fam talking to us while doing some tricks with the yoyo without even looking like damn...
Thanks so much bro!
I don't have TikTok but I've definitely seen some of my friends do this trick back in school. Not as fast though.
Wanted to join them but 10 years ago, I didn't exactly have any money to buy a yoyo with.
Good stuff not really all that interested in yo-yo myself but this was an amazing video, earned the like.
Glad you enjoyed!
Really great background on this style.
❤️❤️
This video hits like early 2000s nostalgia
Being in my mid thirties, I never thought I'd be recommended a video like this. I remember being a kid and impressing people by making the Eiffel Tower with the string, now I see that was pretty basic lol. I had no idea about this kind of stuff until 10 minutes ago
It's far more better than those clown who dances, fake react and fake everything content
Your videos are the best
Thanks bro!!!
Oh that was a real neat vidya getting recommended outta thin air.
Hahaha cheers
angle 2 up is the best yoyoer in the world
This is far more exciting than Lato-Lato lol
Awesome video I watched it like 10 times
Much love my guy
Sick video, nice job bro
Glad you liked it
This video was on my "suggested section" and check if its good to watch. Yeah, i finished the whole vid and be amazed of the history of yoyo.
6:27
So
He's like
A yoyo speed runner
Having played yo-yos (thru influence of a certain anime and TV show) during the majority of my teen years, I'm just glad to be able to pull off the basic tricks😂 I could never hope to perform the tricks these masters show.
From the same guy who did manga and later anime adaptation on bread... There was only the dub version.. couldn't find the original version
This looks like it’s going to be a great video
I can't be the only one that's scrolling the comment's section checking if senpai noticed you.
Good stuff! Maybe do a history lesson on the DNA. Can't remember how it goes but it probably has bits of Pali, Kohta, Ethan wong and Han sanpraset in it. :D
Hey Brandon, when are you going to announce the winner of the dinged yoyo contest?
whats the name of the mount to get into these speedcombos?thx🤙
This is now a history channel
It's crazy how the yo-yo has been around since the 50s with techniques and tricks being a thing and still today people are finding new ways to mess with it.
Never expected to be watching a cool yo-yo video lol
I just bought the Deviantand it sucks it comes back to my hand when I tug and it says it comes fully unresponsive
Do you have a suggestions to make it better
