Hit Box Interview with Noah "The Prodigy" Solis

[GRRAB]

did he end up picking one up?

[icecoldkarma]

awww... he can kick my ass anyday... :3

[nishkathygod]

Would love to see some MMBBAACC gameplay with a hitbox D=, I got a pretty nice Qanba, but I during my warm ups or when I'm getting really tired I start over shooting my direction inputs and end up jumping when I don't want too.

standing H

[sonicteam2k1]

fuck that little nigga. Ain't got no job no nothin, he can practice a million hours a day. I'd beat his little ass in RL and feel good about it

[mchristie12]

@sonicteam2k1 My, what a badass.

[GETSMACKED2011]

@sonicteam2k1

Your a Smack!!!

[TBKSLyCooPeR]

@sonicteam2k1 There is only 24 hours in a full day. Not one million. Maybe you should look into getting your GED at least? That would be a fine idea.

[ANIMEman0519]

ive been playing fighting games since i was 5 and i still suck

...this 8 year old is my hero....

[DanceInTheDark23]

All I know, is the guy he fought at the beginning (In the red shirt) Is super cute! =]

[Wildboring]

if you are going to interview someone give them a mic. i can't hear a single thing he says!

[2XGodxSpeedXd]

that would take me like over a month to get used to but in the long run i think it would pay off

[Lazyninja510]

i want to see this kid use a character that takes skill to use and win

[halogodess]

@Lazyninja510 Wow your hating on an 8 year old how do you feel

[Lazyninja510]

@halogodess but its true bison you can mash roundhouse and win

[TheQualy]

@Lazyninja510 If you bout it bout it we can set up a money match at evo if you are even a true ssf4 player show me what you workin with and thanks for the love hater.

[Lazyninja510]

@TheQualy sounds good to me :]

[adenstrife]

His handle is "the prodigy" god you guys are fucking tards. Why even post? Do you not have anything good to do or say besides sit at your comp and comment on YouTube vids?

[TommieV]

"Prodigy" would imply that playing Street Fighter is a rare skill that not everyone can accomplish. Give this kid a book and keep him in school.

[GraveHorizon]

@TommieV "Prodigy: A person with exceptional talents or powers." Using a basic understanding of the English language, one would read that as the kid having exceptional talent at playing Street Fighter, as opposed to most other people, whose talent at the game as whole would be considered average. In other words, he is on the right side of the bell curve in terms of prowess when compared to most people, mostly due to his young age in relation to said skill.

[biohazard724]

@TommieV Prodigy is a well deserved name given that he qualified and made it into the top 32 (or 16) at EVO, the biggest fighting game tourney of the year. Entrants' ages average at about 2 to 3 times Noah's own and yet he prevailed over a good portion of them. His skill level far out strips his age making him the prototypical PRODIGY.

[TommieV]

@biohazard724 Or it could be so brain dead easy to play that even a kid can play.

[biohazard724]

@TommieV Not at the higher levels. If that were the case young children would be a common sight at tournaments but I've yet to see anyone younger than late teens in competition. I'm not even saying that Noah is some unstoppable Poongko destroying phenom, but being able to do anything well enough to be recognized for it (in most cases) takes an unusual amount of skill/talent especially when found in children. by your logic since kids play piano there was nothing special about Mozart,

[TommieV]

@biohazard724 No, music virtuosos are real prodigies. Video games are meant for kids.

[biohazard724]

@TommieV That's a common misconception I forget the exact numbers but males 18 to 35 make up the majority of "hardcore" gamers. If video games were 'meant for kids' you wouldn't need to be 18 or older to buy 2 of the top 5 fastest selling games of all time Grand Theft auto 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Out of curiosity, if video games are children's play things why are you watching a video showcasing niche accessories for them?

[TommieV]

@biohazard724 boredom

[MistNin]

Some haters lurking on these comment boards. He may not be Mike "Boss" Ross status, but he's eight. Playing since he was six, the kid will only get better.

[RobCardIV]

not to belittle the kid. cause its awesome that he put the time into learning it.

but prodigy is kind of making me giggle.

hes doing awesome :) dont get me wrong.

but lets not pretend like sf4 is hard "if you put the time in".

he learned how to transition from stick to buttons in minutes. not to be confused with learned sf4 in minutes due to how easy the hitbox is.

dont mean to troll. but i dont want to buy your 'omg its so easy and good' box ^ ^

[DJAntm4n]

@RobCardIV Something tells me you don't know about dat high level competitive play

[RobCardIV]

rofl @ asking questions in a way as to sell shit.

yea yea yawn. they are easy to use.

so are diapers, but I dont always take the easy way out.

-shrug

[MistNin]

His brain and cordination is still developing. At his age, picking up complex combinations with both hands comes to him quicker than us 'older' folk. Respect to Noah. Future EVO champ.

[SniperNightOwl]

Cutest Bipson!

[civicsi94]

remember him from CEO 2011 or CES 2011. def. that kid is epic

[YouKube]

Any form of subtitles when the kid is talking?

Can't hear him at all =/

[Bjaey]

that kid is awesome =D
