in particular, watch the tetris level 800 in five minutes...

super mario bros 3

and watch ikaruga. (two ships controlled by one person)

and also, watch cup stacking. this is what you call fast...

Post 2

that tetris level 800 was on the network at evo 4, its pretty impressive :O

Post 3

what im wondering is

how do people have such fast reactions times???

in the time that it takes for me just to RECOGNIZE the 'next' block coming, this guy reshapes, thinks where to place, and moves his hands accordingly,

that must be what, less than 0.1 sec reaction time?

Dude pro-gaming is nothing compared to this freakishly insane stuff... These guys are so good at their chosen thing that it makes pro-gamers seem like noobs :P

Yeah, because stacking cups super-quick and finishing Super Mario Bros. in 5 minutes is a talent that clearly surpases the smarts, reflexes and accuaracy that the worlds best FPS pro-gamers boast...

Post 15

Yeah...but they still cant stack cups, LOL

Post 16

wow yeah rec shut them down!

Yeh, its reflexes and team tactics
not just reflexes

Post 17

Gotta agree with rec 100% there.

Post 18

rec your comparing cs to these games, when its got nothing to do with cs. their skill in their chosen game far outways any pro cs player, and its different skill, obviously they wouldnt be able to play FPS games at the same level because thats not the game they chose. pro fps gamers have skill, but cs has limits, these games do not..well not as much.

Post 19

hmmm, but if they have freakin good reflexes wouldnt they be able to prac up and become very l33t at cs?

Post 20

Heretic... err, what? If you had a point, that wasn't mute, please clarify. Can't believe I just wanted my time reading your post of dribble. :)

Post 21

What he meant is, is that you cant compare a side scroller to CS.
But with enough practice you can be good in both.
These guys are just absolute freaks, and i'd rank them higher than a pro-cs player.

Post 22

i dunno, a lot (most?) of these games are single player things, if you know a map, where to go, where enemies do all their shit, it's easy.

cs however, is played with REAL people, who work dynamically, no map is the same.

so it's different i guess, the skill in playing cs is different to doing...a rubix cube or playing a platform game..

Post 23

im trying to download this guy who clocked street fighter 2 on the hardest level with all perfect rounds...

now that takes skill....

Post 24

Milenko is right, you can't compare these people to people who play team games, they are two compleatly different fields. But if you watch the video of the guy compleating Half-Life in 45 minutes then you can see how he not only perfects his run through the level but also deals with his mistakes at a extemely fast pace. As for these only being videos of people memorising the games,tetris level 800 in 5 minutes or Pop N' Music - 'Concertare (classic4) on random' by Robo, these are videos of people with extemely fast reaction times.
