You'll never be this good at games

Feel inferior by watching 10 of the godliest gamers in action

Words: Ben Richardson, GamesRadar UK

Nov 23, 2007

It's sad to think, but there simply are some people out there who put your own gaming skills to shame. They're impossibly good, unthinkably quick and mindbogglingly crafty.

Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, we can at least enjoy their high-skills thrills vicariously. So here's 10 of the world's greatest gamers, all displaying the sort of abilities that make us weep at our inadequacy. Enjoy! 

The greatest Street Fighter comeback ever

Non-Street Fighter obsessives might watch this clip, filmed at a SF tournament, and wonder what the crowd is so worked up about. So here's a quick explanation: The player fighting as Ken is at rock bottom, with almost zero health, when Chun Li launches a 15-hit super combo.

Watch the 'parry' move that Ken makes - every single parry is a move in itself, requiring superb timing, but Ken makes 15 of the things in perfect succession, topped off with a uber-difficult mid-air parry before following up all this hard work with his own ridiculously demanding super combo to win the match, the tournament and the adoration of a horde of baying onlookers.

I've seen the Portal clip on YouTube before

A lot of these are pretty absurd. I don't even think I understood what happened in about 3 or 4 parts of that Portal video, let alone how that two-handed Ikaruga guy's brain could process that much stuff simultaneously. My friend and I can't even get past the second level of Ikaruga.

You should've probably picked one of the 100 % sons on on expert on Guitar Hero 3 than Guitar Hero 2. I'd say getting 98 % on Through The Fire And Flames is slightly (read: a lot) more challenging than getting 99% on Free Bird.

whys noone mentioning the tetris vid? he played invisibly over the credits! and thats after i had finally adjusted to how fast he was playing....... street fighter vid rocked too

Ikaruga looked very challenging indeed. Try looking at the guy who was playing tetris, not only was he playing almost perfectly while going at an extreme speed, he was also playing through the credits, where you apprently cant see the blocks, that was amazing, much more so than ikaragua.
Good Day

Also, this article has helped me to realize how much of a noob i am, no matter how much i dont want to believe it.

I bet the portal guy memorized the level and then did it as fast as he can
DrPorker  - 11 months 25 days ago 
Wow that tetris guy was amazing...
godmode-on  - 11 months 25 days ago 
wow. To whoever was playing SF,
gtfo.
Thats not right.
You shouldn't physically be able to do that.
There should be laws against pwning so hard.

I want to shake the hand of all of those people.

(the Ikaruga video more than anything. How the hell did he get that good. I have a hard time with Raiden)
