Wired Article (from 10/08)http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/10/meet-takahashi/
Here's Hudson Soft's Takahashi Meijin in action on a rapid-fire tester. Damn. I can average 7 shots a second myself, or 8 if I'm lucky. He's going at 16 a second.
A gamer bar in Japan has taken its name from his achievement- 16 Shots. :)
Apparently Microsoft has rendered this word hollow and meaningless.Quote:

I'm so going there when I return.
@bbobb-snag one of these (from Y!JP)?
That was pretty cool, I know there's no way I could ever touch that. Damn.
this guy must whack off A LOT
I used to do the very same thing with an NES controller when I was a kid. I called it "the vibrating finger." No joke. Anybody can do it.
I remember trying to do that shit in MGS1 in the torture sequence (i didnt have innate rapid fire skillz).
I heard a rapid-fire switch can be used to cheat your way out of this one with no problems (even if Ocelot says he'll know if you're using turbo). Not that I have done this myself.Quote:

Sega's Rambo arcade gun game has a rapid-fire QTE where you're running from a rockslide. If you don't fill the gauge in time by hitting the Start button as rapidly as possible, the rock hits you and one life is lost.

I can't touch 130 for the life of me.
I can only get 100. Granted I only tried it twice before I got sick of it.Quote:

I only hit 100, too. I was good enough to get up an extra time in Mike Tyson's Punchout, but I guess TM's much faster.
Hudson sells them on their web page for 1680.Quote:

This is what I love about Japan. Their honor-bound perfectionism, even with things that don't deserve it. It doesn't matter if it's a ball and paddle game or a hackey sack, there's going to be some Japanese dude hell bent to work at perfecting it until it's not even fun anymore.
The Star Soldier vid is amazing. TM's rate of fire is fast enough that just by the game action alone, it looks like someone using turbo.
I tried that hu-style shot counter and got a 96 - using 2 fingers rapidly alternating on a HRAP3 button, thanks to JoyToKey.
Certain bosses in Darius Gaiden go down hellishly quick if you get in close and spam missiles into their weak point. The missiles add up the damage fast when used like this.
Some expert players on the arcade Time Crisis 4 can fire the 9-round handgun at 12 shots a second, needing a reload after 3/4 sec. This is good especially for milking the Stage 2 boss and taking out Wild Dog's three electric wall trap quickly (time bonus).
If you ever decide to play Sky Soldiers, use this method. It works wonders-especially when your main shot is maxed out.Quote:

I could do that when I was a kid (memories of lightning kicks in NES KungFu). Not really any more...Quote:

That's cheaper than I can buy them for... WTF?Quote:
