Announcing the Winners of the Highlight GIF Contest

Ok I've gone through all the entries that were submitted and I have to say I am blown away by the crazy stuff you all accomplished. It was seriously challenging to pick favorites, let alone a top 3. Since the entries overall were so good, I decided to expand the prize pool significantly. So any player that had an entry selected as one of my favorites will have a random hat added to their inventory. Any player that made it to my list of 'Honorable Mentions' (listed below) will win one rare item of their choosing and a DD key to share. And the top 3 I chose will win, as promised, any Steam game of their choice, a unique Disco Dodgeball in-game trophy, any DD cosmetic item of their choice of any quality, and a 4-pack of DD keys. It's a bit late here, so I'll send out all the prizes tomorrow. But for now, the results:

Favorites

Honorable Mentions


These are clips that stood out in particular for one reason or another. I honestly think any one of these probably could have won, but they got just barely edged out based on my gut reaction. "Very Far Away Multi Kill" by Sheepisaurus http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451916338 This is from Horde mode, and just a beautifully lucky bounce across the entire Nexus arena to snag a multikill. I'm not sure I've ever seen a multikill at this distance. "Boop" by Bukz http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451444707 The comedic timing and luck on this is just perfect. A nice slow bounce that the enemy robot just walks into. "The Juggler" by Uke http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454881681 I've watched this 50 times and have no idea what happens. I think the Hunter bot is KO'd by the homing ball at the end, but there are two other friendly dodgeballs bouncing around? It's an insane ballet of flaming laser homing balls and worth watching over and over. "Helicopter Alley-Oop Combo" by Karl With A C http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=455653748 "Godlike Multi" by Karl with A C http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453267538 I love this duo of clips because they are beautifully framed and super stylish skill shots. They're so cleanly executed I think anyone who hasn't even played the game could appreciate the skill and timing involved. "Not on my watch" by Remy http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454564387 The KO itself is a normal shot, but the timing is perfect and kind of hilarious because it nails a jetpack bot a split second before they're about to grab a capture, and the cube falls harmlessly to the ground. "Killing FlameBot in 1.60 seconds with just 1 ball" by Cherry Pie http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453894903 I think it's safe to say we all hate FlameBot, so watching him get dispatched is always a joy. This is a crazy sequence of a mid-air KO followed by a rare double-dunk ricochet, causing FlameBot to blow up in short order. "Package Protection" by Battle003333 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451688041 This is a pretty rare combo - it's a mid-air Catch KO on the Super Ball carrier. This is very hard to do because it means you have to catch the regular ball that the target discarded in order to pick up the Super Ball. It looks like it took a weird bounce off a ramp, which Battle then grabbed mid-air and turned into a neat Godlike on another enemy player who was trying to grab the newly-dropped Super Ball. "Lethal game-winning hoops shot" by xKirby http://imgur.com/a/evhLO#7 (imgur link) Ricochet hoops scores are always great to see, and this happens to be a game-winning zombie ricochet hoops shot which is exceedingly rare. "Forcing a teamkill" by SeeBetterFromADistance http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453684654 I absolutely love this shot, it's something I'm not sure I've ever seen. The throw bounces off an enemy block, then the ceiling, and nails another enemy standing next to them. "Droppin like flies" by Kryzoid http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=452337796 This is a gorgeous sequence where three bots are taken out in quick succession. It's a Denied shot, then another shot is immediately fired off that bounces off a neutral ball and into an enemy for a Mid-Air, followed up by a slick catch. NOTE:It looks like there's a limit on how many GIFS will render in-line, so you can continue reading from this separate discussion thread if you want: http://steamcommunity.com/app/270450/discussions/0/618463738396542757/ 4-pack of Kalaster shots http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=455886999 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=455313923 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=452833308 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451111239 Kalaster submitted a bunch of totally insane shots and I couldn't pick just one so here are my four favorites. They're all some combination of four or five different skill shots crammed into one throw and crazy lucky timing. 3-pack of Boncottled shots http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450693077 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451280519 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=451283163 Boncottled also created a huge array of amazing clips, usually focusing on an alley-oop and off-the-roof shot. I picked three that stood out for me as having great timing & composition.

The Winners


For one reason or another, these just resonated with me. I want to emphasize again how difficult it was to pick a top three, but I think you'll see why I decided to pick these. In no particular order: "Calculated Again" by Yacobbb http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=455404363 The actual throw here isn't that remarkable, but it involves one-in-a-million luck, perfect framing, and I find it completely hilarious. The throw bounces off an enemy's held ball, then the roof, and then banks down onto the same unsuspecting target from above. I don't think this could ever be replicated. It's just simple and perfect. "Pro Hoops" by Husa http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454774411 There were a number of other Godlikes submitted, but this one is special - the mid-air catch happens to be a Super Ball shot that was going straight for the hoop. So it starts with a super-rare mid-shot catch. But then not only is that converted into a Godlike, but Husa manages to fit in a helicopter on the way. It's an extremely skillful sequence that can only be pulled off in very rare circumstances. "Holy Triple" by Scigatt http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454109340 This is just a beautiful sequence. It starts off with a mid-air catch, followed by a Godlike, but then the ball takes a lucky bounce off the bridge and is re-collected right at the maximum reach distance, which allows Scigatt to get a final Alley-Oop KO. So that's three KOs, two of which are super-rare, all in one tiny jump and maybe two seconds. Yes, it is assisted by the Arcade slow-motion but I actually think that improves the clip because it makes the highlight look fluid and dramatic. So there you go! Thanks again everyone who entered and congratulations to the winners. It means quite a lot to me to see all this enthusiasm towards the game, and hopefully players will continue to share their awesome highlights with the rest of the community. Cheers!
