Ikaruga chapter 3 both players (hands seen on video)

[surfacingtacit]

I never got passed the third chapter without loosing a life and that was just controlling one ship let alone two like this guy does. The boss at the end always killed me. The only way I got to play past the third chapter was with infinite lives.

[Judgementxxx]

wha.....ho.... HOW IN THE HELL CAN HE DO THIS!

[gamermasterL]

my god this is amazing.

[Amonamano]

Not only he control both players, he also keep the max chain on both planes the entire stage

[burnoutpro15]

HOLY SHITMUFFINS! I CAN BARELY BEAT CHAPTER ONE WITH ONE PLAYER! HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS GUY DO CHAPTER 3 PLAYING AS BOTH GENKEI AND IKARUGA?

[spidermew]

@burnoutpro15 I've been pondering this as well, and the only reasonable explanation is... magic.

[TheWootikins]

@spidermew magnets

[144Kingston]

He must be a great pianist

[TheProtagonister]

If gaming had ballet this would be it.

[stoneblock12]

i dunz get how he does it

[dynamicwolf]

I can understand two epic players who are highly skilled and have had an insane amount of practice to pull something like this off. But one person???!!!! Holy crap! Are you kidding me? You are not of this earth. Mad skills I say, just MAD!!! Impressive doesn't even do this video justice.

[HOLYCC]

you cant be any gayer..

[EzioAditory]

the HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY, WHAT KIND OF SUPER POWER IS THIS!!!

[burra007]

@EzioAditory he's chuck norris in disguise

[llLaserBoyll]

At 2:04 She cheated and used only 1 Hand, what a cehater...using Only 1 hand...this is Whack!

[Schokomario]

excellent!  nice play! excellent! LOLWUT?!?!

[HEADSHOTDEALER]

OMGGGGGGGGG

[lengjai7118]

so many max chains too w-t-f holy jeebus

[unevenlight]

I can play this and beat it but fuck this is insane.

[hobogasm]

pshh he died once on the boss, what a noob.

[OMGMrTea]

@hobogasm

loooool

[HornetFellow]

Fuck.

[manny93087]

i got a headache watching this... this is probably the craziest gameplay ive seen my whole 22 years of existence...

You are now my hero and i worship you until i die... I will always remember this gameplay lol..

[ThrilloVanHouten]

I remember seeing this back in the early 2000's. It blew my mind then, and it still blows my mind now. Every speedrun I've ever seen is amateur sillyness compared to this. Not only is this game an absolute unforgiving bitch on one player mode, but this guy beats it while controlling two players at the same time.

Incomprehendable.

[TobitoMadara]

what is this i dont even....

[remoncop]

Enga ya......

[ayadew]

The insane thing is that he gets the color combos ALL THE FUCKING TIME WHILE DOING SILLY TRICKS

[SambaP87]

This is amazing but I can't stop wondering, has he no friends or why does he need to play both ships?

[drummerdude41]

Hoooooly monkey tits!! That was the coolest thing i've seen in 5 min!!!

[MPCozmo]

You, my friend, are skillfully insane. Wonderfully, skillfully insane, to the degree of utter awe.

[tylewisable]

fear this players wrath butsutekkai

[JapanForSale]

We're witnessing a God here, ladies and gentlemen. And he is playing a God's game.

[dynamicwolf]

@JapanForSale

Dude, I love that comment. :D

[ygorpereirax]

My dog can do this blind-folded !1!11!

Trolls, they are everywhere.

[xMrSunshine]

My God... I can't even focus on both of them while watching.

[Spitznock]

Just plain ridiculous.

[linksdarkside200]

i think i came....twice....

[harrier150]

this all i can say

WTF

[Hornilope]

jesus christ

[TheStand04]

This game looked great on a regulay TV. Then I played this on a hi-def TV and was like "WOAH HOLY CRAP!"

[greyfoxzero]

This is like watching a master pianist. Who is this guy?

[Ponicalica]

VTF-INO played this run.

[OsxinBraveheart]

God. That's all I have to say.

[pokemonpokemen]

At 3:40 when the song changed, it sounds like "I want to be the guy: Mecha Birdo" Boss fight :O Even the "Warning" sign too

[metroid152]

thats because that part of the game was intended to be like ikaruga

[KrlosOblivion]

there{s no shame in dying once... FUCK MAN!! THAT{S EVEN MORE FUCKED UP THAN CHAPTER ONE!! you are insane!! great job!! a thousand gold stars... lol!

[Imperia96]

wtf at 0:22 one of his fighters shoulda die the left one why didnt he get killed

[LordRaikon]

It's called a hitbox. Shmups with large amounts of bullets (Called Bullet Hells) have a small 'hitbox'. In Ikaruga, the ship only dies if the bullet hits the cockpit in the middle, hitting the sides, front or back does nothing (Called 'Grazing')

[Imperia96]

@LordRaikon

Ooo alrite but i tried that but usually couldnt find the one spot where ur ship cant be hit i know its around the middle of the wings but some games seem to differ

Whats more i cant move slowly on a arcade joystick i tried nudging the thing but it seemed to move the same as me holding it down and thers no more games of these at my local arcade T^T

[pokemonpokemen]

I notice that its not just changing polarity color but you can also dive down into the background and back up like a staircase

[Imperia96]

Uh no i dont think so.... the game just places things infront of others to make it feel 3 dimentional

[PushTheSky]

@Imperia96 once you've played the game you know that only the center of the ship is critical, if you place the ship between the bullets like he did, even though the wings are touched by them the body isn't. its kinda strange but it actually adds more dificulty to the game since you have to have even more control if you want to do it.

peace

[Imperia96]

@PushTheSky Yeah i got it already i do go to my local arcade and play these bullet hell games frequently but the stick sensitvity is always such a dick tryin to position urself like that

[metaking20]

I saw the hands of Chuck Norris.

[TheFith]

Oh, okay. He IS human. lol, I saw him die...yet somehow, I'm thinking he did that on purpose too.

Fuckin' unreal...

[unixjpn]

this is just puzzle shooter like mario brothers

[crzy999]

...what part of the words puzzle shooter bring the Mario Brothers to mind...?

[unixjpn]

I like old school bullet hell shmups like giga wing and dodonpachi.

[Duderadimus]

Holy shit

[Zantetsudex]

So much for clean underwear.

[TKbusy]

This vid made me stop playin Ikaruga...

[Skyline1994PL]

Don't stop! Remember, that always will be someone who make the impossible. Maybe you'll be the next? So do your best and don't look for others. :)

[TKbusy]

True though,but there´s no chance to beat beat this dude..;)

Switched to another shooter after Ikaruga,Star Soldier R,was actually ranked nr.1 in my country 4 a while..:)

Ikaruga´s still a really nice shooter,let´s hope for a second one..

[Shendue]

@Skyline1994PL: DO THE IMPOSSIBLE SEE THE INVISIBLE, RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWA!

[theaznfishy]

would he have gotten S+++ if he didnt die at the end once? O.o

[Ponicalica]

No, S++ is the maximum rank, unless you count Dot Eater!

[mariopianofreak]

i have this game on the gamecube and is hard as shit that wont come out of your ass:P

[Koricthegreat]

I ca do dat blindfolded wit socks on my hands while fending off monkey fighting snakes and a 32 degrees below freezer while sleeping in my sleep.

[zapwnee]

i played this game on the game cube. really fun.

[Exarian]

holy crap I just realized that one guy is playing both... not sue what would be more epic though. sure only 1 would need insane skill, but if it were 2, the cooperation shown in this video would be near paranormal mind syncing incredible, almost poetic.

[Dragono537]

One of my eyeballs just exploted.

[RileyOcelot]

WOW what a fiend!

[YousefsPie]

Wha.whaa... WHAT?! o_e

[SSOneStarXXI]

you are not normal, non-human, but since you died at the end i consider you normal and human,

it must take two years of practice to do this.....

[LadyMiaow]

The worst part is that he's going for max rank... and gets it.

[AlejandroBjorg]

I can't believe this. It is just hard to see what's happening on the screen!!!

[TheFoxyGal]

wow!!! omg how can u do that?... u can play with both hands... nice... (how can someone play a controler with one hand alone in the first place?)

[gameac]

haha i cant even do this with one hand

[TheBleakWun]

incredible....

[DrummingMofo]

4:01  o_0

[SketchHurricane]

Would have been perfect if not for that death near the end. I've always wanted to see double play with a view of the hands, so this is an awesome vid. Effing redic.

[Sakura665]

This is absolutely amazing

[dkswjdghks]

HOW THE F...?

[CM2YK]

skill.

[ImmanentGod]

This is what i call having a lot of time on your hands :P.

Pro video<3

[MT12XD]

this is NOT HUMAN o_O

[Fistler01]

nice ^^

[gamebozco]

One eyeball, one hand for each plane.

Mad skills, it's a shame u lost a life at boss. still, better than 99.99% of all who played this game.

[DarkLotus118]

That is TOO easy (Sarcasm at 100%).

[Leongkm2]

all those retards going on how this is just memorizing what comes up next, screw you. even if you memorize it its still challenging as hell. I've memorized every move Seth from Street Fighter 4 makes but I'm still getting my ass handed to me.

[Axxeleration84]

Now try to imagine what he could accomplish if he put his potential into something that acctually mattered. Thats what my brain cannot comprehend Mr. Spitz.

[Ghoul555]

and how do you know he's not doing something that "actually matters" in his life?

[Axxeleration84]

Its a proven fact dumbass, The Japs have no souls,and they are incapable of showing emotion. But they did invent the indoor beach, that was nice.

[bananarama666]

Brain damage.

[Spitznock]

My brain cannot comprehend how unbelievably hard this must be.

[TheBerzerker1]

Holy shit,...

[radiusq]

I've just got this game on XBLA. I thought I'd search for some tips on youtube.....

I take my hat off to you sir. Honestly, that's the most outstanding videogame performance I've come across in 31 years of playing games.

I hope you use that brain for more than just playing videogames.

[ShaolinShinobi]

...O_o...f*** me

[KollisionBR]

OMG !!!

This dude's brain should be studied for the sake of mankind!

[OTACON235567]

hooooly craap! you have inhuman coordination

[hellsingorg2]

could this be proof , the evolution of the human mind? or is this god like precision in a mortal man?

ether way you put it, this is fucking amazing

[PeterDivine]

Your coordination is just.... completely inhuman.

[DarkRaven008912]

so when does this game come out on the PS3 Network?

[sleepyx7]

it's already out for XBOX arcade, not sure about psn.

[SMTfan]

Unfortunatly, it won't come out on the PSN... Sony denied it because it doesn't push gaming to a new limit and doesn't provide anything really new... which is a shame because that other Shmup was released. I move for a petition!

[DarkRaven008912]

still, there is also alot of skill requried in this... every game is just memorization if you break it down enough

[AxxesS9000]

Yeah, kind of like how it's not impressive for musicians to do these intricate, highly technical solos on their instruments of choice. All they did was memorize it. /sarcasm

You fail.

[DboiKidCrisis]

lol.

I was thinkin to myself like wtf thats not easy....

Then saw the sarcasm part lol

[Mulletosh]

termcginnis u idiot are u blind? he aced it himself on 2 players, for me 1 player is hard enough he's an god!

[asinisterdvd]

Respect.

This guy got inhuman skill.

[ndonadio]

such skill! he is not human!

[matthewdoucette]

who is this? who is playing?

[d6d1]

It's VTF-INO - search on youtube for more vids of him.

[matthewdoucette]

thank you. any idea how to contact him? i'm going to look into that now...

[KurpfalzAsozial]

awesome

[Paupla]

than man machine!

[almightykenshin]

I don't even know how that is possible.

[Edelbluete]

not only does he survive all this crap, but chains perfectly.

[TekkenKing10]

thats insane

[iThunNdEr]

was that 1 guy doing that?!?!

[MT12XD]

Indeed

[chantimothy]

i nevr knew that you won't die if you were pushed to the walls by that laser.

[terrell121989]

holy crap do u just play that game all day?

[StandAloner]

I wish I knew what the onboard computer was saying besides "energy max" and "releasing the limiter will blow up the ship"

[Napstrpsx]

This player is on another plane of existence. It hurts to think of how good that is. First saw this video last year and I don't know of any other video that's as impressive. Screw bullet hell videos, this person's got something truly unique.

[KingBond16]

Only the Japanese ...

[pvtdonut54]

only Asians...

[Zerodeath86]

no doubt

[pvtdonut54]

amen

[kristblud]

indeed

[tatsumi2]

Koreans imo

[chantimothy]

i was wonding how many continues i need to be able to finish the level with 2 planes...

[Erekai]

in. sane.

That's all I have to say.

[420666andrew]

oops i meant guitar hero*

[420666andrew]

this puts through the fire and the flames on guitar to shame as one of the hardest feats ever. That was simply amazing!

[TKnightcrawler]

You're insane, man! :-P

[TKnightcrawler]

Awe! You lost lives near the end! That made me sad. :( It'd be interesting to see someone hone this kind of skill even more. I wonder if you'd do better with a modded controller; like if the fire and switch buttons were on the joystick itself.

[monkeypoo1993]

i cant beat this stage.

[Blah13lah]

I heard this game is on a list for one of the hardest games but dude wtf is this...?

[retorique]

It's art.

[hmp22]

Holy shit!

This is about 100x more amazing to people who have played Ikaruga and know how hard it is normally...

[Edges]

wow.

I'm like stunned.

[monkeypoo1993]

YOU = GOD

[vhvieyram]

YOU > GOD

[enkenlove]

amazing.. wish I could watch in HD

[Joryo1]

Simply amazing, I saw this video a while back but my question is why does he not die at 23 seconds.

White ship clearly getting hit by black bullets??

Amazing regardless.

[loganm187]

i thought the same thing.....i have been playing it on dreamcast alot lately and sometimes the same thing will happen to me????it's like the game glitches for a second or maybe it has a heart : )

[drunkdragon12888]

From what I've noticed so far, your ship only gets destroyed if the bullet hits the very center of your ship.

[ReisNailo]

The hit frames for the ship are in the direct center of the ship and is only about 2 or 3 pixels large. This is pretty standard among all Bullet Hell games like Ikaruga, Gradius, and other games like this one. Just the piloting both simultaneously boggles my mind.

[redwolffire]

The Xbox 360 version is way more sensative to bullet fire, so that it's not just the direct center that can be affected. This would not be possible on the 360 version then

[matthewdoucette]

small hit box

[Jwvermillion]

Indeed... Dreamcast has a smaller box while Xbox has a somewhat larger box and is more sensitive.

[matthewdoucette]

amazing none-the-less...

[shinyu0orta]

i thought he was god till he died in the end.... fail :] 5 stars

[recklessHattrick]

Wow!

[SonictheBedHog]

so beautiful...

[lentilsonlent]

this person should using his motor skills to create something beautiful instead of just playing games... I sure hope he plays an instrument

[Zeyhk]

So basically, what your saying is: its cheating if you lose, but its fair if you win? Or something like that?

[AirforceAce7]

im sick of people saying that u have to be a nerd and spend all of your time on a hard game or else be japanese to be able to play it. ikaruga is a hard game, but you just have to trial and error play it until u realize the tricks to beating it.

[eddydash]

te pasaste de evrga atte el sucks otro vrg para todo

[gts013]

good job... i mean, let me write that in a language you understand...

001001001010001001010100101010­0010101010101 haha

[LikuX]

Binary isn't a language.

[YouToad]

well , kindof..

[hardcoredirengreyfan]

well no its not

[YouToad]

its what you use to tell your hardware wtf you wanna do.. so kindof..

[bbqme7799]

...Holy Fuck!

[maxhoularis]

If mechwarfare EVER does happen in Japan. Then you can be damned sure it is these japanese gamer nerds that will be the only ones who can pilot it ! Maybe shinji!

[x3onr3g1z]

wow fucking irradiated Japanese freaks!

[Builimacen]

I'm sorry, but I must try this now! It make's me fell owned! TOTALY OWNED!

[orangecatninja]

just watching this is making my hands sweat and my eyes water

[MT12XD]

i'm pretty sure that the guy who's playin' is japanese

[foxycorredor]

OMGWTFHAXLOLPWNZRROFLHAX0R

[Itriphus]

(MT12XD) Wow, way to stereotype.

On topic. This is seriously insane. Favorited.

[MT12XD]

not only stereotype, japanese gamers are indeed great players in almost any arcade game XD.

[Itriphus]

That is true, I just don't like it when people do that. Kinda irks me, but still, yeah, XD.

[AceOfHeartsDX]

I've seen "one player controls both characters" scenarios before, but never to this kind of level, which always amazes me, as I can't multitask like this (at least, not that I can currently perceive).

A salute to those who can use their two hands to control different characters and manage to kick major ass in doing so.
