The Mario run has to be tool assisted. I wouldn't trust most videos without the split screen showing the actual players (like they have in the Street Fighter vid).

It has been a long long time since I played SF, but couldn't chun li have ended it when she jumped over ken, ie with a 'backwards' kick? You can jump over a dude and then change direction (in the air) and kick in SF right? Obv you can in MK and maybe that is screwing my mem. Maybe the dude would have blocked it, though if he did it when ken was punching it would be GO... Also, can't chun li throw fireballs?

You can cross someone up but the animation doesnt turn iirc. Regardless you have to kick deep to cross someone up and chun li couldnt do that.

Those are way easier to parry. Chun's super at the end should have by all means locked up the win.

Thx. I played a ton of SF2, but only a few games of SF3. Still, I find it hard to believe that I can't find a flaw in the gameplay of these world class players. Couldn't chun li have launched a slow fireball from long range then attacked right as it was hitting or something [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Five minute Mario shouldn't be that hard, back when I was in college there was a whole bunch of us who spent a week trying to finish Mario on an original Nintendo, no emulation, and we could get it down to I believe somewhere around 5 and a half minutes. I wouldn't doubt that if you spent even more time on it that you could carve another 15 seconds or so off of that time, it's really much easier than it looks.

And that makes it easier to program for. That mario run through looked like forward was held almost the entire time with specifically timed jumps. It's unbelievable how lucky that mario run through was.

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?
