Japanese gaming videos that put your skills to shame
Tetris
Everybody knows somebody who is ‘great’ at Tetris. Maybe that someone is even you. If so, even you will say WTF when you watch this Japanese guy play.
After you shake your head and say “That’s impossible,” skip ahead to the end to where he does it during the credits with INVISIBLE Tetris blocks.
Ikaruga
Ikaruga is probably the coolest shooting game that I’ve ever played. It’s also the most difficult, frustrating shooting game I’ve ever played, and the one I hate more than any other.
It’s unique because it introduces an interesting twist to the genre: your ship can switch colors between black and white. When your ship is white, you can absorb white enemy fire without dying, and black fire kills you. When your ship is black, vice-versa.
Anyway, this game is hard. Damn hard. I have yet to beat it on NORMAL difficulty.
No trouble however, for this other Japanese guy who plays the damn game in two player mode BY HIMSELF with one hand on each controller.
Worst boss fight ever
The quality of this video isn’t the greatest, but you get the jist of it. The screen is filled with enemy fire, and this guy dodges everything.
Seriously. How many hours would it take to get this good? Imagine if this raw dedication were harnessed toward something useful!
