Track & Field 8 Finger Technique

[almightyapollo]

you are godlike

[ecurbdnyl]

Jesus dude

[pussypitcher]

8-finger-crab or multiple-click-flare you should try to scratch

[sandmanxo]

I'd love to find a Track & Field one day to try this out. The local arcade when I was growing up had the trackball version so I've never played the button version on anything but MAME, and I haven't seen a single Track & Field up for sale in my area in the year I've been collecting arcades. Interesting technique to get the world record.

Who let the firecrackers off in the house :l

[ooFAUSToo]

No idea why I still bother watching gameface and ginx files, the reviewers dont have a clue and they always show shit games (sonic colours, mario sports mix, generic basketball/american football/golf game, wrestling and poor movie tie-ins) Yawn.

[JJWebber8961]

[MrTANGO1978]

[bigtorque]

[nirob]

why i know these fingers any where, it's uncle feelie hands!!!!

[AppTipps]

1:38^^

[xSkyburnsred]

I used to like hold the controller upside down with the wire between my middle and ring finger and i'd use my thumb on the other hand, idk i cant explain it

[konductaRETURNZ]

i wouldnt be surprised if this technique has been translated into the sexual stimulation arena

[FFjergo]

And what's useful about being able to hit the L2 button extremely fast again?

[pandelson]

amazing

[rabidowski]

Now try this technique on an original T&F with the original buttons (the ones that had a raised shield around the back half) ;-)

[riverbandit58]

@rabidowski

[wingnut4427]

nice technique ! Don't mind all these haters.. they are just jealous because they can't do it. lol

[reggiee111]

nice of you to clarify, i was wondering how it was done exactly.

[pudsrus]

Some girl will be well pleased with the speed of those fingers one day

[FlyHec]

@pudsrus Man...that is one of the most immature things anyone has ever said....but it's soooo true. You sick bastard!

[lestap2008]

fag

[lestap2008]

that is gay as fuck

[FlyHec]

@lestap2008 whats gay about "fuck"?

[RockleeO7]

I have a much faster technique..........Turbo

[ButtonMASHtv]

I HAVE THAT STICK ... Soon to Be sold tho

[condorX2]

beautiful hairy hand. Oh ya baby stroke it.

Oh and hey u can use that stick with xpadder. Just use the register version baby.

[PVCLime]

try to play the track & field for the playstation =) then you wont have to use that tecnique ;) the one you use reminds me of druming tecniques ^^;

[wardyboy26]

omg.......get out more.............omg.........

[Simracer1990]

@wardyboy26 hypocrite

[wardyboy26]

i innocently stumbled across this, he made a whole vid about it...

[GlitchesAndTricks09]

wow

[imarockslayer]

ive never seen that joy pad but that is pro action for 1 button nice man

[robbie4242]

Personally, I used the "pencil trick"

[imaginariumstudio]

aaaah the pencil trick! we used to use a fish food container! but those are some quick fingers there

[orangeguy81]

Pencil trick? whats that?

[bmg6695]

its hard to explaing verbally but unfortunately it is not allowed because it is considered a tool

[InnocentDrifter]

you just rub the top of a button with a pencil or pen alternating back and forth.

[bmg6695]

wat do you do on all the other events besides the 100 meter cause i am getting decent at the game and went to a couple day tournament over the weekend and got about 82,000 for my highest but the last day i could barley play the game cause i use the 8 finger technique for everything and i ripped most of the skin off of my pinkies and i could use the other technique to save the skin on my pinkies and do better on the hurtles and high jump

please help

thanks

[SteveDelDiabolo]

Hey FlyHec - great Video and great Controller!

Where did You get this superb Piece od Arcade from or did You build it on Your own?`

Would be great, if You could publish a Link here where I could buy this... as I am a big Fan of Mame and all Arcade Classics!

Cheers to You from the Headquarters of the SADOBEEAUTIES of Germany!

... and keep on gaming ! :-)

[SK1NZfan4Eva]

holy shit

[PyroManiak1388]

its like masturbating buttons hahahaha

[theexplodedrage]

haha amazing

[eggertstwart]

Is the motion more of rolling your fingers across the button or dragging them? I mean, is it mostly in the wrist or fingers?

[Marjjoe]

u have that Arcade machine???

[FlyHec]

I didnt when I made this video, but now I do!

[Cercatore]

oh great...

[BowlingFreak218]

thast amazing

[akumaky]

why are you hitting one button? track and field had two run buttons and a 3rd for jump.

[breatheska]

thats amazing

[Tiki767]

I notice you go left to right (index, middle, ring, pinky). I play the piano and to repeat a key, people usually go right to left. Do you think this will work? Awesome video, by the way.

[FlyHec]

I've seen it done starting with the pinky first, if thats what you're talking about. Infact, the fastest Track & Field player in the world goes pinky, ring, midle, index. Well actually, he goes in that direction, but he only uses 3 fingers on each hand. I'm not sure if he starts pinky first or ring finger.

[Tiki767]

Sounds good. Yeah, if I were to use three fingers, I'd start with my ring finger... my pinky is a little deformed. Thank you very much for this video, there are some things I can do with similar techniques in Megaman games now. Also, thanks for subscribing :)

[fromundaphil]

@FlyHec Only thing I noticed is that this guy needs to shave his hands lol.

[FlyHec]

@fromundaphil Yeah, I have hairy hands. But why would I need to shave them? I use conditioner so the hair wont tangle and its silky smooth too.

[kernzyp]

@FlyHec dude, you have some good comebacks to the insults!!! lol!!

what controller are you using, and where do i gey one?? damn fast!!!

[dreamininflux]

nice technique

would mind a race with you in the hurdles

[ShreddaProductionz]

das alrite stil, but i dnt use 8 fingers i use 2, both my thumbz on the ps1 controler an djus tap away, on my psp wid 100m i got like 7.12 secz, but if i had a ps1 controler i wud of got like 6 secz sutin,. its on ma page

[FlyHec]

With both thumbs I got 6.60 on the ps1. I was showing good tactics for NES and Arcade versions with the 8 finger.

[sammybmusic]

It's like you're a Track & Field expert or something.

[Frezyman]

wow man! amasing!! Im so damn impressed!!

[kimokata]

Holy crap!

You have hairy hands lol. But anyway. Thats awesome. Really awesome. You have no idea how impressed i am. And thats no sarcasm.

[querschnitt]

great job. but how do you press the action button? i mean, jump, throw the hammer, etc etc

[FlyHec]

I have a video of a buddy of mine doing the Hurdles on Track & Field in the arcade. He's kinda hard to contact, but as soon as he says it's cool, I'll post the video.

[Legitslostlegend]

so thats how you do it. I knew you weren't faking

[aciddimensions]

How many hours have you spent honing that technique over your lifetime? When going at full speed, it really seems crazy!

And you say you have an even better technique?

I wasn't actually familiar with T&F , so this video impresses me a lot more than the gameplay vid.

[FlyHec]

Surprisingly, I was a natural! I saw someone do it and I was able to do it immidiately.

This is my best technique for the arcade. My NES version is still a secret. The judges at Twin Galaxies are the only ones who have seen it.

[weeeedmaan]

ok dude i belive u now dude that was unbeliveable

[tarantula1264]

Purely awesome.

Good job, that must take so much practice.
