Yet another amazing video by the unquestioned master of the "candy combo" - oldtaco. A chain reaction resulting in the creation of 9 + 2 combo's!
This video is referred to as "Condy Comb" because this was the title of the thread that oldtaco revealed this masterpiece in. So while oldtaco's ability to create astonishing videos is second to none, his spelling leaves a little to be desired!

oldtaco - 7 + 4 Combo
This combo makes 7 flower star explosions followed by a 4 pearl combo. It's like watching fireworks. Notice only 5 new silver stars were dropped instead of 7.

oldtaco - StarBurst Combo
No question, the Granddaddy of all Hexic combos. Not because of the score, but because nearly all pieces on the board were combined and it required 2 new blue pieces to fall in the right locations for it to work. Wonder how many tries it took to get that to happen? Actually it was 4. Pretty lucky I'd say. And how would you go about building such a board all the way to the top like that?

oldtaco - King of the Hill
Have you ever seen 34 pearls on a screen at once? Watch this. There have since been new records for this feat; namely 51 pearls also done by oldtaco. How would you even fit 51 pearls on a screen without making a pearl combo?

oldtaco - The 1st Candy Video
And the Hexic Video was born. Four Grand Pearl Pooh-Bahs at once. This was the first time we'd seen anything like this. Oldtaco is definitely a true pioneer of pushing Hexic to the limits. Notice it only scored 1 of the pooh-bahs. Videos like this have given a lot of clues to how the Hexic game scoring works.

Xraf - First ever Hexic music video
This video portrays the highlights of Xraf's entire game to 24 billion points. There are some small MMCs, some big MMCs, and some failed MMCs. He ends his game with a very nice score composed of a lot of zeros. Did I mention that it is set to music? Very nicely done, Xraf.

YS23 AOKI - 6 Black Pearls At Once
From no pearls to Pooh-bah in 13 moves. This first combo produced 6 black pearls with only 22 silver stars all in one combo. Aoki then proceeded to make a Pooh-Bah in 12 more moves. Oh yeah, It was done before he finished level 3.

YS23 AOKI - Glitch #04, Alchemy
Aoki is definitely the Hexic experimenter of all time. He has tried things we would never imagine and he has learned important things about combos, scoring and timing of the game. I guess it's no wonder he can pull off a 300 billion point combo. This test shows that under certain conditions you can get hexic to drop new pearls when it shouldn't. The combo created 2 new pearls like expected, but in addition to that, 2 new pearls dropped. Aoki has been able to duplicate this and similar events.
