it's a quake 3 trickjumping vid by one of the best trickjumpers. most of the stuff he does is ridiculously difficult, i've played quake 3 for a couple of years and i can't even finish some of the levels in the video let alone as fast and effortless as he does.

The Ikaruga vid is sick. And the Mario vid is legit, they've got within about 5 seconds of the TAS record now

Regarding the astonishing Tetris guy...

There is a neurological condition where your brain perceives time too quickly. (It's the exact opposite of the condition the people in 'Awakenings' have.)

People with this condition talk hyperfast and have insane reflexes. They truly perceive reality as if it were slowed down by say a factor of 3 or something. (Including for example how they hear voices.)

This is obv a longshot but it would not surprise me if the Tetris guy has that condition. It seems like it's neurologically impossible for a normal person to play that fast.

A completely different theory is that maybe Tetris blocks are non-random and he has memorized the sequence they come in and in addition played a ton of tetris, so he is essentially on autopilot.

The SF3 one was supercool too... more as a rockstar kind of moment than being superhumanly tough.

do you actually have any kind of fact to back this up or is it just your belief/opinion?

Wonder why if this conidition exists and isn't completely crippling, why those with it would not be the guys at the top of every single sport and video game. Imagine baseball or even something like boxing/MMA in slo-mo.

Jesus! I couldn't help but laugh, parts have the music overshadowed by CONSTANT clicking of the buttons. He says that it's only their third run-through. That's really hard to believe, but possible, I guess.

It didn't seem THAT unreal to me. He has to be able to picture where all the pieces are at the bottom of the screen, which seems like something that someone who is very good at visualization would be able to do. He's given the next 3 pieces (color-coded) and a replacement. The color coding makes it easier to recognize what's coming next with peripheral vision rather than actually having to glance at it and lose concentration on the stack.

It's an amazing video. I do think that a dedicated person could get that good by practicing.

Re: You\'ll never be this good at games
 

The SF3 one was my favorite, I was half-expecting the crowd to start chanting "Holy [censored]", that's how awesome that was.

I remember the first couple of Mega Man's being insanely hard...this video is really freaking impressive. I never even beat MM all the way through I don't believe (think I got to second to last boss or so).

Pretty much all these vids are ridiculous. I think the SF3 vid is probably a little overrated compared to the others though, it's just the crowd going nuts like that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Don't get me wrong, it's sick what he did and everything, but I don't think it's quite as impressive as the Tetris or 5 minute Mario video.

In case anyone is curious...

The only reference I can find to the Oliver Sachs article where I read about the condition is here: http://scanblog.blogspot.com/2004/08...-movement.html

It's actually a severe form of Tourette's syndrome.
