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.

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.
