This is sick. Dude, stop it. You're making everybody uncomfortable. Have you no shame?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is fighting game virtuoso Desk as he plays a few rounds of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike one-handed against... himself! He's operating two characters at the same time and making it look like the most natural thing in the world. He's serving up parries, supers, and counters like grits at a Waffle House. Then at the 1:14 mark, the asshole whips out his cell phone and starts texting while wrecking Remy with the other hand. Good gravy.

Crazy awesome European musician....this is what happens when he plays fighters.

Ana amazing display of expert timing and virtuoso levels of dexterity. Also, at 00:51, we get more proof that Western 3rd Strike tiers are crap.

Hugo for president.

So Tony, you just discovering the disgustingly good dexterity of Desk or have you known about him for awhile?

If not, he has tons of other ridiculous vids on his Youtube account. I've been a subscriber for awhile now.

Jon, Hugo was always known to be able to deal enormous amounts of damage.

The problem is finding ways to deal that damage. He's huge hitbox doesn't help either.

@Jonathan Holmes

I'm going to hope you're purposely being facetious, but just in case:

1) There are no "Western tiers." Japanese tier lists are the same as the ones we all know and love. http://wiki.shoryuken.com/images/5/5d/ThridStrikeDiagramCropped.jpg

2) Tiers are an evaluation of the objective strengths and weaknesses of each character in each possible matchup presented in a "wins X games out of 10" format, not a list where "a higher-tier character will always beat a lower tier character." Hugo can definitely beat Chun, but it's ridiculously difficult, and most of the time the Chun player is going to take the win assuming both players are of equal (top-level) skill. Hugo will still win once in a while, but it'll be comparatively rare.

I may be mistaken, but isn't this the same guy who did a flawless Ikaruga run with two ships at the same time?

You know, I'm not sure. I've only seen his fighting game stuff. A quick google search and I found the Ikaruga vid. It quite possibly could be him with that insane execution.

Disappointed to find this post isn't about Undergrads.

Street Fighter is pretty cool, I guess.

It's not THAT impressive. Way i saw it he lost every single time. Fair enough he won every time as well but if the wins cancel out the losses then all we have left is an average record.

3S is a great game, but if you think it's without balance issues, you're a madman.
