I know the soundtrack to Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is amazing, but this takes it one step further.

Youtube artist and game connisseur TheRealHonkmaster bursts onto the indie scene with this atmospheric and meticulously crafted Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance OST cover. While his early works include the sample-based "Duckyay" and his first kazoo/guitar duets centered around children's television show "Friendships is Magics" [*also, an actual cover of an iron maiden solo, that one's pretty good], it is his ventures into the video game subculture which have garnered him attention and well-deserved applause. Honkmaster expertly adapts metal riffs into acoustic form, turning the hyper-energised hard rock of the original into a moody, understated listening experience. Powerful structuring and layering of the kazoos bring to mind a chorus of harmonies, taking rein of the instrument's strengths to invoke a sense of grandiosity and escalation. An impassioned kazoo solo around the halfway mark is the highlight of this tour de force, coming in with a true intensity and cementing the track as one of this year's must-listens.

Well I'd been watching the Nintendo Direct in incredibly low video quality, so I'd only seen the rough silhouette and a big blue-ish energy ball thing. Needless to say, I don't really care if Mewtwo makes it back in, but a lot of people (fanboys) were probably quick to jump to the immediate conclusion.

Ironically, the blue-ish energy ball thing is what confuses me the most. Mewtwo's Shadowball move, in Melee, the real pokemon games, and the anime, is always shown as a purple/black color.
When I saw it, I will admit my first thought was a psychic type pokemon, but NOT Mewtwo.

I've completely given up on using the youtube embedder as I've only gotten it to work once.

"But Vyse!" you may ask, "if you've only gotten it to work once how have you embedded so many videos?"

First of all who are you and how did you get in my head and Second it's quite simple really by using that one working video I now know how to manually embed without fail.

Use this sequence:
(youtube XXXXXXX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXX youtube)

Replace the x's with the numbers and letters that come after the watch?v= in the url and replace the ( ) with [ ] and voila easy video embedanation!

I will use your method, and while I approve of it, I cannot guarantee I'll remember it any longer than a minimum of 5 seconds. I stand proud in remembering the basic <'img src=""'>, but trying to remember two codes...that's witchcraft I say.
