Man or Machine? One AMAZING Player

[digitalpress]

I've seen Billy Mitchell play classic arcade games like Burgertime with the MAME throttle turned on, and I've seen Todd Rogers play Gorf as if he knew where every single pixel was going to be at any given second of a game, but you MUST check this out.

I'm not familiar with the game, reminds me a lot of Guitar Freaks except with console buttons. What is it?

10 Minutes till Wapner. Must get to K-mart, definitely K-mart.

That is a game called Pop N Music from Konami, big surprise there. Here are a couple of links for the game:

That dude has some serious skills.

That was freaking crazy. This may be stereotypical- but Japanese people are nuts! LOL @_@

[Funk Buddy]

Damn... you beat me to posting this! Well... I'm kind of glad you did. Where I found it would have had "not work friendly" images around the screen. LOL

It's Pop n' Music by the controller. You should check it out for the JPN Dreamcast and get the controller too.

When I was in England, Mayhem and I watched some kid go absolutely nuts on a Dance UK (a Dance Dance Revolution spin-off) machine. He had a huge crowd gathered around him and anyone who tried to join in just could not keep up with him. That was unbelieveable.

So basically it ain't just the Japanese that are nuts. ;)

Ah, Pop'n Music. The best game ever. EVER. That song is Classic 4 Hyper, one of the most difficult songs in the game....yeah, it actually gets HARDER THAN THAT.

[Sotenga]

HOLY HELL... :eek 2:

Excuse me while I go throw every single video game I own into a whirlpool. There's no way that I'll need them again, not after realizing that I SUCK at them compared to this guy. :bawling:

Other worth mentioning videos from the same site are:

I'm not getting any video, but it sounds like a medley with Beethoven's Sonata in C#...

You evil, evil bastard. I'm stuck with the dinky lil' Pop'n home controller. It's still fun to play and impressive to watch but not nearly as much.

[gamergary]

:eek 2: Infuckingcredible.

[Kroogah]

Just for easy access....

I recommend
Cassandra [EX] (hey AdamG, if you're still wondering what SKA Cassandra is..)
Screen [EX] (good God)
Special Cooking [H] (I can beat that song! Not to toot my own horn, but...beep beep)
Powerfolk 5 freestyle (this guy is my hero LOL )
Trauma Punk [EX] (over 1,000 button presses in this song)

[Raedon]

good lord.. We are little girly gamers apparently because I don't see how he can be following that. @_@

[Balloon Fight]

O_O I dont even see how that is possible.

[Vroomfunkel]

That is addiction. Or dedication. Or something... I'm not sure what! Did anyone see this game in action in "Lost in Translation" as well? When the girl wanders through the arcade, there is a guy playing Guitar Freaks and another guy dancing around playing this game too.

Loved that film. But damnit, London prices are too much .. £10 for a cinema ticket? @_@

[Jasoco]

I saw that one a year ago and it amazed me then. But after seeing all the recent videos and hearing how they were faked, it makes me skeptical. But I do like to believe that is real. And damn awesome.

[NintendoMan]

TWO WORDS:
Cool
CRAZY!

[crashdummycow01]

[SpasticFuctard]

I would be unsuprised to find that he is a concert pianist who knew the peices.

a little uptempo and a different keyboard, but the same premise really.

Yes, I saw Lost in Translation and I immediately thought of the movie when I saw this video. When I watched the scene in the movie I was totally baffled by what the kid was doing. Now that I understand the rules of the game it makes a lot more sense but I am still amazed by it all. :eek 2: :rocker:
