I'm utterly fascinated by perfect play videos -- a dude netting a perfect no-death game in Ikaruga while manning both sticks or a video of someone playing Assassin's Creed without complaining (!). Pitting man against machine and coming out not just on top, but untouched is a joy that I'll never know thanks to aging, worthless reflexes. But at least I can watch video of other people achieving gaming zen, right?
Fans of God Hand are already familiar with its bone-crushing, brutally unforgiving gameplay, but those uninitiated viewers watching the above video should bear in mind that God Hand's challenge mode is no picnic. The final level requires that you best a fully-powered version of yourself, complete with an insane amount of life -- a feat which this player manages without taking a single hit. Like poetry in motion.

Holy shit.
I think i might finally go out and pick this up.
"So, at least that bitch didn't fly around the room and throw MARBLE COLOUMNS at you for half an hour. He's not special......(sob)"
I'm trying to win the "understatement of the year award".
For me, anyway. My friend tried to play and got his ass beat every two seconds. I was like "BACKFLIP. If the enemy attacks you, BACKFLIP. If you're stuck, BACKFLIP." Then he loses and asks what he's doing wrong and I tell him "If you're losing, that means YOU'RE NOT BACKFLIPING ENOUGH."
Seriously, backflips save lives. :D
I ALMOST made it to the end of this game but decided that masturbating with rose stems would be much less painfully brutal....
Well doodly-doo look at you!
Ugh, we get it, Assassins Creed din't meet Destructoids expectations. Give it a rest!
On a related note, that was the single sickest video I have ever seen.
And is it too late for one us (editors) to review God Hand? It's a game that I'm always excited to talk about.
And yeah, this is level 51 of the challenge stages at the casino battle ring.
I bought it but ended up getting further in the store so I stopped playing it at home.
I'm gonna go buy this game again. Tonight.
I didn't find the game ITSELF that hard (it's just about finding the right combination of custom combo moves really) but the challenges made me want to punch things.
I can't even remember if I ever beat this challenge. I'm guessing I didn't because winning that seems like something you'd remember quite clearly.
i can't even beat the first level.
And Eschatos, if you think this is easy, you haven't played God Hand. If he had gotten hit once, he would have died. That dodging was fucking epic.
I should go back and beat this game again sometime.
Sucks that I missed that review at the time. If I had read it then, I would have bought God Hand a lot sooner.
It's like I've never played the game correctly.
I tried this fight a few times and was just destroyed to often that I quit and put the game away. This video is amazing!
